Co-branded Rolex Tudor Prince

I would be interested to hear people's thoughts on this watch I bought recently. I haven't yet received it so I can't show movement etc. but it is probably a GENEX movement as are the other 1431 manual winding Tudor Princes of the period.



801xxx (Rolex serial system I believe)
Ref 1431

Yes I had thought as much. When I bought the watch, the photo wasn't clear enough to confirm so I took a punt. Didn't pay too much anyway and it is still a nice watch.

Do you think the actual dial design is fully fabricated or do you believe the design was original but has been refurbished?

It's almost certainly just a redialled Tudor 1431. Does the caseback look like this?

Yeah it is a Tudor 1431 as mentioned in the initial post. There have been some co-branded Rolex/Tudor watches, it was difficult to see if the dial was genuine on the ebay photo I relied on at the time.

The sale picture was different to this one, a lot less clear. This picture was taken by someone I know who has the watch in safe-keeping.
