Vintage Tudor Prince. More info and input please.

I had posted earlier about my Tudor Prince and some people had asked for a photo of the movement. I just found one on my phone I didn't realize I had so here is a new thread. Questions/concerns previously where 1:is the case original 2: is the raised metal Tudor logo original? I hoped the movement photo might help answer question #1. I have seen some very similar Rolex watches with a raised metal Rolex logo but never a Tudor. Curious if it's a redial feature?

A photo of the inside of the caseback would of been strongly desirable.

I am concerned with the dial and the lume on the hands. The metal wording of Tudor could be genuine

There is a small possibility the case is genuine if it is one made for the Australian market (need to see inside of caseback really) however this isn't a very interesting watch or a good example so I wouldn't be buying it if you haven't yet.

Next time I'm at the Jewellers I'll get him to open it up and snap a pic of the inside back.
The price on this watch was a pretty good deal! It came with the original case too! Couldn't buy something comparable on eBay for what I'm into it. I'm quite happy with it as a first watch for the collecting.

What's the story with Australian watches? Where they made specifically different for that market?

OK I had the watch looked at and it's not an original case. SHOULD I go to the trouble of trying to find a correct case for this or just call it good enough?

Yeah. No real confirmation so far. I have seen an almost identical Rolex face though. Same numbers etc. I dunno though, I'm wondering if I should just call this watch good enough and focus on fixing up the next one on the list.
