I'll put my neck on the line and call this one a Frankenwatch at best.

Let's see if I get egg on my face.

What does it say on the dial under the hands?? "Tudor"?

BTW: I have seen Panerai's with that sort of dial (the Roman/Arabic ½ and ½ division, but not the "target" dial, of course). Click!

Looks like a so-called California redial. The term was coined in the eighties, when a redial company based on California refinished large numbers of Rolex Bubbleback dials in this manner.

Redialed Tudor (Tudor is printed on thr dial)

Californian redial. Does this mean Rolex never came up with this originally? Because I thought this was quite collectible as bubble back?

There are some shown in the book "2421 Rolex-Uhren" by Kesaharu Imai, but not with that exact "California" dial configuration.

Wow someone please send the watch to hell. That is one fugly piece of metal. Or maybe not such an extreme, just change the dial.

I read somewhere on top of the Rolex Forums that "If someone puts their Sea Dweller on a Pink and baby blue nato strap, that's their business. Clicking the back button on your browser is very simple, besides its not like you have to wear it......"

I know, perhaps I should have added the Just Kidding to my last post.
