Tudor Submariner 75090 Genuine or Fake?

I just bought a vintage tudor submariner with ref. number 75090

The original plexiglass has been replaced with sapphire glass.
(I have the original glass.)

The thing is that there is nothing but the watch...
(The box and everything is missing...)

Can you tell whether it is genuine or fake?

thanks.

Def put the original crystal back on it. The aftermarket sapphire conversions are useless...

I agree completely! The watch itself looks good, but I'd most definitely put the original plexi back on. if it was all scratched up, it can easily be remedied. Killer watch btw...

I guess I should put the original back on...
The glass was in a bad condition.
How can this be remedied?

Plexi can often be polished with Polywatch unless there are really deep dings. I'm sure there are some in Jongno 3-ga who will do this for you.
Or simply source a replacement, it shouldn't be too expensive.
