Nope, while it does look alright on wrist, on slightly closer examination there're some dead giveaways...
The gold surrounds on the indices are too thin.
Tip of the 12:00 triangle is shaped wrong... and again too much lume material.
The tip of the 12:00 triangle is not aligned with the center of the Tudor shield.
Worst is the date alignment.... it's obviously offset to the left, when the date should be dead centered.
On that note, the color of the gold seems close enough, and on my gen the crown does has a "brass" look to it...same as the bezel surround.
Ain't trying rain on your parade dude, just telling it like it is.

I like how the steel and gold looks much less flashy than Rolex gold sub.
Can anybody post some close up shots from the date window, is the date really not centered? It's hard to tell from the pics on the TDs site.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have seen the real one at the dealer and the gold is a lot more yellow. The pics look like 14K where Tudor is 18K. But look nice.
Maybe it is a light effect, because I benchmarked mine at the dealer as well and could hardly tell the difference !

Not sure about the color as it could be due to the lighting condition when the photo is taken. But a definite tell is the sharpness of the machining. He's an example...as you can easily see the gen has a very clean, sharp edge. On the rep it's definitely rounded.
