Does this Tudor sub look authentic?

I've been looking for one for a while and a friend shared a reasonably priced one with me available online. Wondering if there is anything that seems off about it!










Any insight would be appreciated.. thanks!!

I should also say, there does look like a rather uneven polish job on the lugs (left vs. right). If so, someone took the time and effort (or money) to polish it, which I assume to be less likely on a counterfeit, though not impossible.

Cant see any red flags re fake etc....looks genuine enough, depends how much they're asking etc, agree re lugs, you just have to buy the best example you can afford I guess.

not an expert but something about the bezel makes me want to look closer. the pip is obviously not consistent . the indices from 0 to 15 are thin lined, and that 40 on the bezel , the 4 seems connected to the 0. the 0 in 40 seems too big. cant see any date wheel numbers. need more Tudor experts to help.

It's legit.

Printing pad on yours gave that insert a fatter look, that's all.

I have compared it to mine, do it too:
