eBay refinished dials

[ajs914]

So how does this seller have what seems to be an unlimited stock of Rolex or Tudors? And they only cost $89. It may be a nice dial for $89 but there has to be some angle here. With the Tudor dials, is he getting some other 2824 dial and then having it refinished as a Tudor?

Because they're not re-finished, they're fake

No way it's a refinished dial at that price. It's a fake and no doubt a crappy one at that.

So i guess the watches he has on there are fake too?

Could be gen, could be franken. A lot of these sellers of re-finished dials tend to throw them up amongst cheaper gen watches and items in order to give the parts an air of credibility.

Yuki's Tudor 9411 listing has similar descriptions at twice the price, does the ebay seller's dial really that bad?

I'm curious about the seller's 100% positive feedback. It's amazing that nobody calls him out. I guess a refinish is essentially a fake as well so maybe the buyers are happy.

Comparing those tudor dials to the Yuki, they look almost exactly the same.

Talk to Jmb about this seller and these dials, not too bad.

Genuine....or not....??
I can't say that I see an overstock of rep dials with the feet placed in gen position.
Considering a refinish job tends to run 130.00 or better in most cases, you just have to wonder
