Can any Rolex/Tudor Experts Shed Any Light On This..................

[Alex1975]

Hi All,

The piece below (Tudor Sub) came up in a UK auction this week.

Alarm bells rung for me as I have never seen one with both Tudor & Rolex on the dial, is this authentic?

I did some research & couldn't see images of any others like it.......

BTW: Despite a low estimate £600-800, it sold for £3300+ (25% fees)

Any thoughts???

An interesting piece.........

Looks like somebody has attempted to increase it's value by have the word Rolex printed on the dial - the rest of the watch looks legit - except the word Rolex.

There are no limits to stupidity.

That's so sad :/ imo ruined a beautiful sub unless of course there's another explanation.

It's possible I suppose, but I doubt it - Rolex and Tudor are separate companies - always have been, doesn't make sense to have Rolex on a Tudor watch.

Tudor subs have shot up in value over recent years - but it's fairly recent - 10 - 15 years ago nobody wanted them, then vintage Rolex prices went crazy so people looked elsewhere . . .

somewhat related... one of my instagram feeds has shown how "tiffany" was added to some vintage rolexes to fetch a higher auction value. It is a shame. You have to really know your stuff to be a vintage collector (and have a lot of spare cash).

Perfect way to ruin a stunning sub...
