This is a FAKE 7149 Monte Carlo...!

Err buddies...the counterfeiters are getting better...beware!

Here's the FAKE Tudor 7149...dubbed as Monte Carlo...being listed by eBay Seller - the-best-watch of Andorra...

The left side of this picture(of a book page) shows the good watch...BUT the watch resting on the same book page on the right is FAKE...!!!

Spot the FAKE parts...Hour Makers on Dial...Chrono counters...Chrono pusher buttons...Hands...crown guards...Date Window...etc etc.



This picture shows the tell tale signs of the FAKE Dial...Hour markers...Hands...Chrono counters...n Date.



This picture shows the FAKE Case...backcase...EndLinks...n Bracelet.



This picture shows the REPLICA "Valjoux 234" movement...without the original markings "17 Jewels UnAdjusted"...etc.



http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-TUDOR-MONT...QQcmdZViewItem

Here are the pictures of the TRUE Valjoux Cal. 234 movement...n the CORRECT Dial...for Tudor 7149 Monte Carlo...courtesy of AAKViper of VRF...

yes they are getting better every year-I remember when they just resembled them on the outside-now they copy movements-and they are not to far off!
