red series 3 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1970-VALJOUX-7734-MONTE-CARLO-ROLEX-TUDOR-CHRONOGRAPH-MENS-WATCH-/150828750607?_trksid=p4340.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D555000%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D10%26meid%3D9024873441244190967%26pid%3D100009%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D5#ht_500wt_949 I had this come up suggested for me on Ebay and i looked at the item. Thought it was interesting the way the crown guards are finished. Then when i saw the case markings 9421 i thought that something might be up. Is this fake?

redwatch Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Sure looks fake to me. Serial number looks way off and I don't get the model number markings on the other side between the lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Definitely looks off. Aside from the crappy 1 o'clock marker the dial looks pretty bad. Add to that the case markings...I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denimhead Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I've contacted the member directly, and gone through most of the points raised plus a few others. By the looks of the other watches he has listed I'd doubt he even realises that its not Gen. Hope he hasn't paid a lot for it! DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Here is a photo of a 9421/0 It is a Tudor Chrono, but it doesn't look at all like a Monte Carlo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I saw the listing yestaeday and it looked fishy. Sure enough, the dial looks way off. Perhaps its a mish mash of Tudor parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 There is an even worse 7032 from a different seller, with a BIN price of $8500. I agree with janeto: almost certainly no genuine parts anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 22 bids and up to 3425$ That's not gonna buff out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red series 3 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 So then if even a noob like myself picks this as being fishy why hasn't it been pulled. When the honest daytona that represented itself for what it was is gone. You know there was a franken datejust on ebay last week, it said that it was running ETA 2836 as the original movement had issues and was too expensive to repair. Went through sold and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Tudor and might be off those guys radar. Really, there's no rhyme or reason to it. I've seen it time and time again a rep gets sold.

What really kills me is when I see guys on rep forums reporting listings that explicitly state "non-genuine parts" or "project watch". I can sort of understand the high-horsedness of the gen forums, but it's hard to take rep buyers acting as the eBay Inquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red series 3 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 This ones gone through looks like the seller made a deal outside ebay and ended the auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
