Tudor Oysterdate California Dial with Race Car Logo

[carfanatic991]

Anyone here seen one of these before. It’s 34mm case and 20mm lug width. It has the regular Tudor oyster case back and Rolex crown. Did a quick google search and came up empty. I think it looks cool..

It is as redone as it can get. Hopefully the owner also thinks it looks cool.

Thanks good to know. Came across it during lunch at a local watch repair shop. Thought about making an offer but I came up empty on my google search so decided to pass.

I've seen these before; a set of three in fact, with red, green and yellow dials.

Fake dial, fake hands, the case is most likely also fake.

You guys really think it's fake? Robert Maron sold one similar: http://robertmaron.com/product.php?p...1&cat=265&sold

The Tudor shield was not used until around 1970. Not that it is the only thing to react on but it is just a very simple thing that makes this impossible.

Similar car logo here. This is Dickson Tai's site, and he doesn't deal in fakes.

Says who? I think the watches may be ok but the dials are at best refinished and the hands are for sure not Rolex/Tudor. Typical low-end watches that someone tried to make interesting.

Edit: And he also lists them as redone.

Dial: Professionally re-dialed in Racing car, very good condition

Says me. I've bought several watches from him in person. He has a very good reputation.

And as I said from the beginning they are redone.

I was just adding one more example of this car logo, and noting that Dickson doesn't deal in fakes. I don't doubt the dials are redone (Dickson says so, as you later pointed out), I'm mainly interested in what this recurring car logo means, as it's quite a mystery.

The cars are Indycars it appears. I have seen one pop up for sale here locally but it was like the OP’s example.

Repainted dial for sure. Not sure what the painters tie to racing is. Interesting story for sure.

Low end cheap watches trying to find new buyers. They were probably easier to sell like that at the time when the dials were made.

I put these in the same category as the "Red" Rangers
