Legit Check for a Tudor Day Date

The seller doesn’t have papers or the box. He said it’s model # 94510. The seller said his dad bought it 5 years ago at a Rolex dealer and recently took it to a Rolex dealer and had the dial, stem, and bracelet replaced. Does it look legit?

Does he have the service paperwork from its recent trip to Rolex? It would be odd if he didnt since it was recent.

Well, Rolex dealer does not necessarly means a RSC was used. Case lug pictures and inside movement shots would be helpful

Be very careful OP. The Date-Day Tudor models are replicated in very large numbers in China and the Asian market in general because Tudor still produces real ones for that market as well (or did until a couple years ago). Unless you have papers and/or see the movement, don't bite.

He said it was his fathers watch who took it in to get it serviced. The father recently passed away which is what the seller (son) said.

Do they replicate the older models as well?

There are replicas of the 94510, 94613, 74013, 76200, 76213, 76214 models and others readily available online.

This is one of those, "don't pull the trigger unless you're sure" cases for me... I'm in the market for a 76200 right now myself.

If he knows where it was serviced, they would have s record of the service. Story seems a bit fishy though.

You could as for additional photos.
Between both lugs and of course movement and inside case back.

NO one could 100% authenticate that watch with those photos, that said, i see nothing glaringly wrong.
But that would NOT be enough for me to purchase it
Regards
