Tudor Oysterdate 74000 34mm

[kreindler]

Hello all!

I am new to this forum and generally I am not using forums too much.

But I need some help and from all the forums I saw this was the most activ and I could use some advice...


So question:

what is your impression about this watch:

TUDOR PRINCE OYSTERDATE 2824 25 JEWELS SWISS ETA SS DATE AUTOMATIC MEN WATCH

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160718913578...9#ht_526wt_952

and about this one too:


TUDOR PRINCE OYSTERDATE 2824 25 JEWELS SWISS ETA STEEL DATE AUTOMATIC MENS WATCH

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUDOR-PRINCE...c#ht_526wt_952


Buyer has 100% positive feedback. , but still....


I do not know much about Tudor/Rolex watches. I intended one of these 2 to be my first one.

Quality seems pretty good (so if it is a fake i guess at least it is not a cheap fake), but still, I don't want a fake. I'd rather buy an original swatch then a fake anything.

Also the glass is described to be "Original plastic top" - is for this model any sapphire glass i can buy for it?


So QUESTION:

Are they real or fake???

If they are real do you see in the pictures some hidden issues/etc?


Please help. I dont wanna spend 515$ in vain.


PS: Please excuse me if I posted in the wrong section. I saw vintage rolex discussion so I supposed it's the right place to ask for an advice.


I would be really glad to receive a feedback to this.


Best wishes from Bucharest, Romania!!


PS: And please also excuse any possible grammar mistakes!

The both looked fine to me.

...to examine the case model AND serial numbers.

...you want to be CERTAIN that the words STAINLESS STEEL are present between the case lugs and that the letter E of those words has a SHORT center, horizontal line.

...in this leter "E", note the LONG center, horizontal line.

...IF the center horizontal line of the letter E's on the case are LONG then it is a FAKE.

...IF the words STAINLESS STEEL are absent, and the model and serial numbers are basically CENTERED from top to bottom between the lugs, then the case is also counterfeit.

...hope this helps.

Thanks for the offer. I'll consider it. I first wanna see if the user relists the items as none of them ended successfully. I won an ebay auction from an US user but he doesn't want to send the item to Romania. He said it will not pass customs!!!!!!!!!
