Rolex Tudor California dial

Rolex Tudor California dial Watch that I assume is bogus...posting it just for grins since a local dealer just offered it claiming it was his father's in the 1950s!

Those dials are the most faked dials of all the Tudors.

Ouch! Just ouch! I'm probably the most re-paint-friendly guy on here, because I'm from a different era, but that's just awful!

That's one of the worst I've seen, omg. About 10 years ago it was very popular for scammers to buy 34mm Tudor Dates or no dates for 300 or so on ebay, paint a 50 dollar Calif dial with Rolex on it and sell it right back on ebay for 750 or so. Hundreds of them. Guaranteed 3-4 hundred dollar profit.

They are gone now, guess Rolex finally shut it down :)

It looks like the dial was done in White Out.
