Gen or rep? Tudor prince

[colt45gto]

I just picked this up,
It's a gen ETA 2824-2 the wheels are substantial rather than flimsy.

Pics are crap I'll do better tomorrow

Winding it feels solid, date changes crisp and precise and setting the time is smooth and precise. I checked a lug and it looks right I will remove the bracelet and small pics of the markings, it has rollie parts yes but what matter I think is right, but need your sharp eyes.

Case and caseback look rep to me. Movement could be gen. Even the MOP dial doesn't look right.

Serial 32647 doesn't exist so you are right on the case, the band is rep, the movement may well be a dressed up eta or gen.

The movement is legit. It has a kif anti-shock and triovis regulator.

How much did you pay op?

 

[colt45gto]

I paid £30 for it which was £5 over asking price.
The serial number doesn't exist for a tudor but it does for rolex circa 1938. Bracelet x9 could also be legit.

I'm taking it to a rolex/tudor service agent at the weekend.

I think the £30 investment is very well justified either way.

It's definitely an old watch, it's quite possible it's been plated, but if so it's quite heavy plating, possibly wrapped or filled, the crack in the crystal is right next to a heavy scuff on the bezel, but no other colour is showing its just gold.

Case has no other markings except between the lugs, old reps usually had fake hallmarks even when stainless.

So the plot thickens. I suppose the truth will be known on Saturday

Nice score!

Hopefully they do not confiscate or destroy it if it is determined a replica case.

 

[colt45gto]

Don't see why they would, they serviced my other rep once

OK got the watch in and the movement is genuine. Rest isn't

Trying now to figure out the best way to mount the dial and hands, on the eta. The date disk for the gen has a smaller I'd than the eta, I have a stepped date disk plate, but this way the cannon pinions are too short
