What the #@$@ is this?

Can anyone identify this? It looks like a frankenwatch to me, but I'm not knowledgeable about Rolexes.

It's a gen Tudor, not sure where you got "franken Rolex" from?

Tudor is Rolex's little sister, they share a lot of similarities but are two distinct brands.

Both brands were fathered by Hans Wilsdorf; Rolex in 1905, and, Tudor, the baby, in 1946.

it was in the 1990's I believe that it was decided that they should go their separate ways

Tudor was supposed to be established as a more affordable line..I believe...

They were supposed to be (as Lani stated) a more affordable line, but they crazy horologist started collecting them.

Tudors use a 7750 movement distinctly different from a rolex movement. They are suddenly becoming more popular.

Tudors look like the much easier bet to franken with an A7750! Assuming you can find the case / dial / hands...

Thanks everyone! Like I said, I'm not familiar with Rolex / Tudors and I wasn't sure that this wasn't a watch that someone cobbled together out of spare parts (gen & non-gen).

Now, if this was an Omega then I wouldn't be asking this question
