Need your expert advice; would you buy this?
Greetings RF,
I'm a new member here. I originally created this account because I wanted to save up funds and buy an explorer. However, I keep finding watches that keep taking my funds. Anyhow, I ran into this Tudor jumbo 75303 and wanted your expert advice. The seller states that everything is original and untouched to his knowledge. Would you all agree? I've tried to research the serial number but Tudor info is hard to source. My main concern is the legitimacy of the watch. The seller seems to have a good selling reputation. Any information or opinion anyone can offer will be much appreciated. Thanks, Description from seller and photos. "For sale Vintage Tudor Watch Jumbo prince oyster date rotor self –winding with solid gold fluted bezel 75303, SN is 546xx Original dial, original signed lock crown , date quick set, ~ 38 mm without crown x 45mm lug to lug, scratches Running condition but not timing, worn it 2 days and still keeping time but service history unknown, come with 6248 two zone original bracelet #455 end pieces x 17 links in total." |

I wouldn't buy it; I buy only rolex with B&P. Hang on to your dream of buying an explorer -- way better than a nondescript Tudor imho. Good luck!

I very doubt the dial is original as the printing is very sloppy.

Do Tudor's usually have a crown with a Rolex logo?

One endlink looks fake to me. The lug tips are chewed up to me. This is a two tone model and my impression is that they bring less money than a ssteel. The steel is 74000 and TT is 74100? Seems like it. What is the price?
