I am being offered the chance to get the black bay 41 at a relatively good price?







This is a gift from airline for their long service awards. But alot of staffs who are non-wis sold it for cash.

There is an engraving on case back with the airline name plus "10 years" wording behind.

Seller says that I can get it verify at rsc but I have to pay the verification fees. But rsc in my country does not do verification anymore. Replicas are very common and look alike so you guy thinks anything is wrong with the watch? Thanks

If you are based in Taiwan... try being it to a pawn shop. They can tell if it’s genuine or not.

Do people counterfeit the 41? Prob a dumb question. But didn’t realize there would be a market for this reference.

I've never seen a Tudor packaged with the plastic film on your dial. They don't come that way from the factory, but the super reps sure do.

i took it in to rsc to realign the hands. no question asked so it must be real.

i guess nobody would bother to engrave corporate company logos into case backs for fake watches. they might as well sell it without engraving and will fetch higher prices.

I have thought the chamfers are one way to tell, and this one they looked pristine. I was surprised when someone said "absolute counterfeit"-- but that seems the case here a lot... sometimes it can be bad pics-- but to call something fake when it's either to close to call or clearly not is annoying.
