Hello vintage experts,

I'm making a lot of research on 79090 for months now and I think i slowly become better on discerning rep to gen.
I've seen this on CH24 sold by a "Professionnal" watchmaker.
To me, there is a few thing not good on this watch:

- wrong color bezel + lume pip. Cheap bezel. Size not correct : recent rolex bezel insert but not 5513. So the case (or bezel system) must be incorrect ?
- Date font totally incorrect
- Caseback engravings are totally off. Brushing is circular and recent.
- Dial looks like the raffle one
- I'm bugging with the CG and crown but not sure if i'm right ? This is something more difficult for me.

Am I fine or totally wrong and still need to learn a lot ?

If yes, I'm glad to have learned this skill from the rep community.

Thank you

Jap, I agree with your points... No expert on this particular model but the date font is missing serifs, insert totally wrong etc. And everything as you already mentioned. The dial really looks like the raffles one and the dial opening of the case is way too big. My assumption is, that he slapped a Gen eta in it and calls it a "genuine" tudor... Any pictures from the engravings between the Lugs and from the crown by chance?

Here we go, mates. I received more pictures.

- Engraving : I really don't know ?
- Movement: antishock bloc is not correct for a Tudor 2824-2 but what about the rest ? I don't even see the ETA logo and "2824-2" seems to have been punched ?

Case is too clean between the Lugs and engravings look fresh... I call it a butchered piece 😅

I finally wrote on the seller. Not judging him, just trying to expose the facts.
He's a reputable seller with +200 watches on CH24. I assume he doesn't want bad reputation.

Seller kind replied and thanked me for my message. He put the listing offline and will get it checked by watchmaker.

I don't know if he's sincere but IMO his reaction was the good one.
