Local Tudor monte on eBay, seems a bit too clean
While I am super comfortable with Tudor subs, this model is an enigma to me. The chrono hand doesn't look right and I am unsure of its authenticity. What do you guys think? It's a beauty, but I know they are a risky click

Hey Harry...In agreement with you on that hand. While Im more well versed with the tudor subs, Ive never seen any other 7149/0 without an orange seconds hand. The tail isn't as wide as it should be either. Other than that, the rest looks ok to me.

That chrono hand is no good.
Either is the lume job on the 1,8 and 10 markers. Ad says the chrono does not function as it should. I don't see the model number anywhere. Make sure the bezel is correct too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am certainly not an expert, just my observations: Chrono hand not orange as stated previously, also too short. The sub dial hands are of different thickness, you can tell if you enlarge the pictures. Many examples to be found like that though...most lume plots are gone, pretty common as well.

Different thickness subdial hands is OK. This is not perfect but I think it is legit - with some issues.

I think it is legit, it just needs a lot of work. And at $8700 with 5+ days to go it is probably already past the point of reason to me. But I am no expert. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
