Authenticity Check; Tudor Submariner 79190

[white__light]

Can anyone please offer an opinion on this Tudor Sub 79190 from 1996. Comes with original purchase receipt, tag, box and papers.

I think the seconds hand is aftermarket as the circle on the hand is black not white, but I'm thinking the watch itself looks ok, but I'm no expert!

Thank you.

Looks ok, I think Lume has gone from second hand?

I hadn't thought of that. It would explain the black colour instead of white.

Better pictures would help,and a movement picture, to be sure.

Tried for some better quality uploads, but the file size limitation meant I had to reduce the quality unfortunately.

Movement picture not available, but a receipt from a recent service from an AD has been shared.

Wow! You can tell (authenticate) those photos - I can not even find the seconds hand LOL

Not the best pictures for sure. Mine has lost its lume over time but still has the white dot on the 2nd hand.., so I'm wondering about yours without it

I found a couple of old TRF threads where the hands on some Tudor Sub’s had either faded or completely fallen off so it seems it’s not so unusual.

The seller provided a photo of a service receipt from an AD from earlier this year and I checked with the AD and they authenticated the receipt.

Just make sure you buy a piece like this from a very trusted source that accepts returns too brother!
