Shall i worry about fake TUDOR?

We all know how popular the SUB are and how it is the most counterfeit watch in the world.
If I am looking to buy a Tudor second hand, ebay etc...shall i worry about buying a counterfeit? is there such a thing out there?

Cheers, happy Saturday.

Yes you should buy the seller not the watch. There are very high quality Tudor fakes out there.

Why are you determined to buy on eBay?

If you don’t know much about watches - don’t buy on eBay. Unless you *enjoy* worrying.

Modern and vintage Tudors are all faked. From 7928 to 79220. Some better than others.
