I apologize for my ignorance and my lack of knowledge but this is my first such watch.
So why would anyone go through the trouble of painting a Rolex logo on a Tudor face? Also, why did Rolex parts get used on a Tudor watch? Again, I am totally new at this and very green.
The last owner of this watch was not a big spender so I suspect he got a deal on it being that it is not truly an Rolex, apparently.
Thank you again for your patience and information.

Tudor watches were made by Rolex and used quite a few Rolex parts. Tudor was the lesser priced Rolex. Some not so honest dealers would repaint the dials to say Rolex so that they could charge more for the watch to the unsuspecting customer.
Unfortunately, today this effects the collectors value of the watch (Under $1000 in its current state IMO)
