I have found a vintage oyster with a red dial for sale. If this is authentic, and in working condition, how much should it be worth? I am attaching photos.

It's interesting, and if it's real it'd be a lovely watch to own, but my instincts tell me that it's probably not real. However, don't take my word as gospel; it just doesn't look like the sort of thing Rolex would do, making a bright red dial.

I'd bet good money this is a POS. If someone comes along and tells us it's the rarest of unicorns in the watch world, I'd be astonished.

That`s watch that once probably was Tudor Oysterdate, but it`s re-dialed and hands are also incorrect.
Inscription "Rolex" is wrongest thing of all, it`s NOT a Rolex, it`s frankenwatch made of Tudor parts.
If movement is correct one (Tudor signed ETA 2671 or 2824 I think) and Oyster case and bracelet are real deal, than this watch have SOME value, but I suggest you to pass on this one.

Trust me, walk away, dials redone, hands wrong, movement may be wrong too.

Wow, half the numbers are Roman and the other half are Arabic!

And what's up with that "-" for a 6?
