Icon5 Is This Tudor Fake?

I recently bought a Tudor Prince on eBay but have real doubts about its authenticity.
I would be very greatful if somebody could give an opinion.

Welcome to TRF, Andy. There's a problem with the web page. I can't access it. Has it been removed?

Do you have an item number for it?

190211381696 is the eBay reference number. You need one of the experts to weigh in on this as they are very good at spotting faux watches. If one will type that number in on the eBay site it will bring up the watch. Sorry I have no real knowledge of this stype/model of Rolex................

Though I never seen it in person,it MUST be real thing.I saw Tudor`s manual wind movement many times in flesh an it is the same as the one on the photos.
I believe that your watch is something like this:

Fake Tudor?

Sorry about the link, I've got some pictures. I've had some differing views but I'm inclined to think it's a fake. Please let me know what you all think.

The factors that make doubt this watch are, it looks too new, somebody suggested that the writing on the back looks wrong and that the movement also looks fake. Can anyone add to this?

Andy, the 3rd picture you showed here (the one with brownish tint), is not present in the ebay auction. So, where did you get this picture? I hope you're not the seller?

Also, as a matter of principle, I wouldn't touch any auction with bidder set as "private".

Fake Tudor Oyster

I just want to thank you all for the advice and opinions.
I have now got a full refund on that dubious Tudor.

Thanks again,
Andy B.
