Genuine Tudor California pics

Hi All,
Now I've found out how to post pics I'll drive you silly.
Here is my Tudor Oyster date with genuine factory degraded blue California dial (not a refinished standard dial) and 18K white gold fluted bezel.
I think it's a stunner.
Hope you like it.

Spark.

Nice. Is the strap blued as well? Wasn't sure if it was the pics or my lap top screen. The watch is very slick.

Well, I am glad to see a genuine Calif dial Tudor. On Fleabay, the Calif Tudor says Rolex and comes in several colors. I am sure those examples are redone, but great to see the real thing. Great Job!

Yes the strap is Blue USA made genuine aligator strap, it cost me a small fortune, but it looks great on the watch.Thanks for the great comments I know it is only a Tudor, but as we all know most calif dials are redone.
I had this serviced by Rolex UK and they confirmed the dial to be original.
Cheers,

Spark.

The only difference is the engine and that ETA will last as long as any Rolex engine.
