rastapopolos Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Any wis that can school me on the Rolex/Tudors with the california dials that are flooding ebay? Yeah, i know the double labeling is bogus and that tudor never made a twotone like that, but what are the dial origins, is it just a completely fake dial or a heavily repainted and rebranded tudor dial, and what about the case / movement, do they use geniune tudor eta's or some rebranded asian clone, are the cases/casebacks genuine rolex/tudor or is it alltogehter just made with "aftermarket" parts? Even knowing it's a fantasy watch I kinda like the look of it, nice casesize for us that prefer midsize and has a really cool vintage feel to it.. for reference Edited January 27, 2008 by rastapopolos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Re-dials and maybe frankens. There have been many incarnations of Tudors. Buy what you like but do not pay too much. This a replica forum so re-dials and frankens fit right in. Welcome to the forum and try out the search function. There are loads of threads that can offer much useful information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have never seen any of those dials or any other Rolex or Tudor watch that contained both names on the dial. However, when it comes to Rolex, as I have learned many times, never say never. I would expect that you would get a similar response on timezone, but someone there may be able to give you a more authoritative & final answer.

predfan2001 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah I've wondered about those also. I figured they are just redialed old Tudors but there is always many listed. I don't think people could get their hands on that many old Tudors. Smells fishy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Actually the Tudors are still available and sold used thru Chinese dealers. I know a friend who use to buy they 6 to 12 pcs. at a time. He paid about $250 to $275 shipped to USA. Then he would send out and redial and new hands which costed him about $100 to $125 and minor servicing if necessary.. -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predfan2001 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I had to do some digging, but this is the one I like. A Tudor Jumbo with a racecar dial. (ever notice racecar spelled backwards still spells racecar? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
