My new Tudor, what do you think?

[Mefromhere]

Just bought it, what do you think? If you can't see the numbers between the lugs, they are: 7016/0 737731 (serial number)

What are the issues with this watch?

A pic of the dial would help. The bracelet is wrong and the bezel seems off too.
So far, not good, I'm afraid.

...looks like you have one of the FAULKERS.

...the ser# is one of 4 KNOWN serial numbers to have been used by the counterfeiters: 737,731, 737,734, 737,738 etc.

...additionally, IF the words stainless steel are missing = fake.

...additionally, if the words stainless steel are PRESENT but have a long, horizontal CENTER line in the letter "E" (like this one) then it is also fake.

...a photo of the dial would be helpful.

...also, the band is COUNTERFEIT. 455B end pieces are ONLY 2-tone, JUBILEE end pieces-NOT OYSTER ends.

...the 7016 is one of the worst faked Tudor watches.

...one more thing, the bezel appears to be GOLD color?? If so, these Tudor Subs were ONLY available in all stainless. The ONLY Tudor Subs to have the gold bezels are the mini-subs and the lady subs.

Other than that....does it look legit? :)

Thanks, Tom.

But Stan is literally and figuratively, the Tudorman.

please show the dial pic...? Just of curiosity, did you buy this watch in escondido, ca, as it looks familiar....

[Mefromhere]

Please see my other two posts that I have on this site about the TUDOR, they are the same watch and the have pics of the dial and all. Don't worry I am not buying this, I can get my down payment back easily. No it did not come from Escon to the last person who asked that. Thanks for your help everyone, I am moving on to the next one I might try to buy. :)

[Mefromhere]

Thanks to everyone on this, yes that watch did seem too good to be true especially for the price. I guess the movement is fake also. Do they make fake movement that is stamped with tudor/rolex etc...?

The fake Rolexes I have come across are easy to tell once you open the back and see the movement. But this tudor has the movement stamped tudor etc... (pics are bad I know)

Would you agree with this persons opinion on these being fake Tudors? He has posted pics of these and the one I posted on here that you commented on is just like that. The one on the right appears to be the exact one I was looking at.
