Tudor 951 bumper 14k with SS caseback legit?
I just bought a Tudor 951 bumper from ebay and have a couple of question for Tudor experts.
I already have 951 SS and it is 100% legit. The one I just bought looks very good, same case design, legit serial and model number. One think is bothering me. Seller states that the watch is 14k rose or pink solid gold, but the case back is stainless steel. I never seen solid gold watches with SS case backs. Maybe I'm missing something here. The case back actually looks legit and says SS back. Here is the pics Any feedback is greatly appreciated. |

I have only seen the 951 in stainless steel, but what bothers me most here is the poorly repainted dial.

That dial is certainly re-texted... and not a very good one at that.

Not certain if you are still interested, but I have been researching the 951 since I purchased mine earlier this year.
I have found 33 known examples, of which 6 are gold cases; 4 w/ SS case backs and 2 w/ gold case backs. Would be interested in knowing more about your SS case model to see if it might be example # 34 Best, Chris |
