Hey guys this is my first post but I been looking around for a bit. I just got a tudor blackbay as my first "luxury" watch from ebay but some things are suspicious to me at the moment. First the bezel, when i rotate it one click it has some play in it where it can move back slightly, im not sure if this is normal or if im moving the bezel slightly past the click causing the movement. Also, another thing that has me worried is im having difficulty noticing raised lettering on the dial, Im just curious what you guys think thanks for all the help!

Thanks so much for the help everyone!

My G-D what did you take the photos with, they are so massive, I (personally) cannot easily look at the complete watch.
Please just post decent resolution size photos.

From what I can see - I have some concerns to this watch

The lettering on the dial isn't applied, it is printed on. I don't think there is anything wrong with this watch. (If I could see it!)

Watch is fake

I just compared your pics to my Black Bay Red and visually they look the same. Your watch does appear to be authentic [but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is] As for the bezel, it should not have any play in it at all, unless somebody abused it and tried to force it to go in the other direction.

perhaps bigger photos would help

Look at the pearl setting. Set ugly not like on genuine Lume applied very bad. And lume on the hands is different color than on the hour markers.....

NKflyer · 24 March 2017, 01:54 AM

I am leaning toward fake also. How about some normal size in-focus photos?? Particularly of the two circles on the sides of the clasp where it latches?

jabayev · 24 March 2017, 02:24 AM

No need for clasp. 100% fake. Like at lume by 3 and 9 ocklock

I just got home and was able to take a pic of mine next to his. I set the time to be the same as well. With the photos side by side things are a bit more 'clear'. I have to retract my earlier comment that it appears to be authentic.
I will let the viewers decide. Mine is the one on the left, the OP is the right.

I apologize for the shitty size haha from my research the watch is fake due to the inconsistent lume and also the hole through the center dial which is a easy tip off of a fake. Also, the lettering looked to be printed on which is also a sign of a replica. The lume is also more of a faint green compared to more of a blue in the actually black bays.

surrounded21 · 26 March 2017, 10:15 AM

Any way to look at the movement? Can you take it to an AD?

That was my concern.
