Tudor fake or not?

[Jblakes]

Evening All

Would somebody be able to advise if this watch it fake or real. I have no clue on tudor watches but guessing somebody who knows them would be able to tell.


Kind regards

James

Looks legit but I'm no expert

Can't say I'm at all familiar with the model but it looks ok to me? Someone with the knowledge will be along shortly.

How much is a watch like that valued?

Hard to say. It's not a popular model like a Tudor Sub or Snowflake. How much someone wants it and is prepared to pay. Is it even running ok?
Appraisals aren't allowed on the boards btw

[Jblakes]

Been to see it and it runs fine, just wanting people opinions if it is real or a fake or what.

[heng51]

It looks fine but not sure. Take it to your local AD.

[Jblakes]

What do people think of this one too?, torn between both as i want a vintage tudor watch.

Both fine, mid 1940s with calibre 59 movements. Neither is oyster-cased so not worth very much.

The first watch posted has an unmarked 59. It may not be the original movement to that case IMHO

[Jblakes]

What do you mean by the case? What does a real oyster case look like? So these are real just not 100% one watch?
What sort of price would people be wanting to pay on these? Dont want to pay over the top.

The case is the main body of the watch. An Oyster case is a kind of waterproof case made by Rolex for most of its watches, and used by Tudor also. Yours is not one of them. Otherwise it would say "oyster" on the dial. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not an Oyster, so less collectible.

I'd look for a Tudor 4453 instead if I were you. Like this...

thanks for update. Are the ones i posted fake then? or just not tudor oyster. What actually are they if real?. So much naff info on net regarding fake/real tudors and rolexs.

Like I said, there is nothing wrong with the ones you posted in my opinion. I'm not going to give you any valuations, but I wouldn't spend more than $250 on either watch that you have shown.

[Jblakes]

thank you. I just read the post regarding valuations. Didnt know that when posted. I think i will actually look for the one you posted. Looks nicer.

kind regards

Oyster casing is iconic and worth the extra... does a great job of keeping the elements out, maximising the durability of your timepiece.

Anything non-Oyster, too fragile for my lifestyle. They don't get worn as dailys :(

James' Tudor watch is absolutely fine and original. Little bit rarer being centre seconds as most cushion cased non-Oysters had the subsidiary seconds dial.

Not valuable, but sweet!
