That looks very pristine for a 50+ year old watch

Oh the year is not right. Ref 79090 was produced from 89 to 95.

Hello,
Since I haven't dealt with Tudor that much yet,
Could you tell me how you recognized the fake?

greeting
Very easy to spot, look at the back of the Crown guards, look at the engraving on the caseback.
Also the case is brand new, carved in Vietnam.

The hands are totally wrong for a Tudor Sub.

Dial printing is wrong.

No serifs on the datewheel.

This is such a terrifying reality - I'm actually in the market for one of these and have been looking at a load of them. Maybe I'll just get a rep instead jeeeeez

Oh wow I just looked more detailed on the pictures ur right - it’s a 100% fake…
Crown guards front side looks actually not bad - but the case shape and engravings on case back are 100% viet, hands are not gen and date week are totally easy to spot.. wow
