    Fake snowflake on the bay?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TUDO...item2ec6f01b03

    A 9411 date snowlake with "oyster prince" text on the dial? as opposed to prince oysterdate? Haven't been able to find this combination anywhere and it would seem illogic, yet I'm no expert so havent reported it yet. Are there any Tudor experts who can confirm this combination is a clear fake?

    also the = does not align with the a in submariner and looks to have a space before it.

    This is why I avoid ebay like the plague! Certainly for anything of significant value!

    Just created some space, thx.

    I mailed the seller. Reply:

    "The dial is paited but orginal."

    Painted with the wrong text then.

    Know nothing about these but the crown is not centred to the guards and the minute hand looks too wide.
    If you want one of these then research and buy from a trusted source. Ebay is for experts and idiots only.

    The hands are the first give away, then the tudor logo font is next on the list...

    When you know what to look for , it's like a bat hitting you in the head, you can't miss it...

    So it sold but what happens if/when the buyer realises he bought a 'pup'?

    I see this topic has revived. Guess it depends on te buyer finding out in time to open a case.
