So I recently just purchased a TUDOR (today) on fleabay, and upon further inspection I’m starting to get a little nervous that this could possibly be a fake.

Here’s the link please tell me what you think.

Thanks so much!

Im no expert but It looks fine as far as I can tell and the seller looks solid. On ebay for 7 years, 100% rating . Always good if you used pay pal. I think your ok, good luck.

So what about the posting (other than the really poor photos) concerns you, or makes you think it is fake? Did you communicate with the seller? There are some questions I would have asked - like a picture of the caseback, serial no, more of the bracelet, side view of crown, clearer face-on, etc. Overall the seller looks OK in terms of feedback.
Would help if you maybe pointed a specific issue out that we may not be aware of.

Sorry, just over reacting because its a rather large purchase for me by eBay standards, and pics were very blurry. Also the “swiss made” was not visable in any of the pics, so when I asked him to send, he did but they were even blurrier!

I responded with how come all the pics are so blurry it’s 2018 not 2003. I also wanted to see the clasp opened to see the Tudor writing, which he replied he doesn’t have a smart phone ��*♂️

You are protected as a buyer through eBay/PayPal so you should be OK. The piece looks like it is probably legit. I would be slightly more concerned about the overall quality, especially regarding the PVD coating already coming off; but if that is truly a warranty repair then it’s still a pretty good deal.

What was he using, a camera obscura?
The watch is only 5 months old. PVD should be OK after such short time. My concern is the apparent corrosion inside the clasp. Wonder if the watch saw salt water in Israel and thats why the condition is so poor so soon.

Yaa I noticed that too! Would TUDOR let me warranty this being I bought it second hand??

So if what you guys say is true and it looks legit. Think I got a pretty good deal??

I doubt Tudor warranty the finish. Just like if you scratch a watch or chip the crystal. They would say wear and tear.

Hard to say without seeing better pics and true extent of the corrosion. Mint examples seem to sell for $2800-2900

I’ll take better pics when I receive it.. You guys have been a great help with super fast replies!

Thanks so much!
