Looks legit to me, it is a "Tudor" which is the lower end line of Rolex. Typically it will have a case and bracelet made by Rolex with an ETA made automatic movement.

The "Rose" dial marker at 12 o'clock adds to the value of this vintage Tudor.

I purchased, on a whim, a watch in a market in Budapest, it has on its face the name "Jean Herber" & the specs are "ANTICHOC" "15 Rubis"
the face is rectangular.
I will post a photo soon.
I would love to hear from anyone who is familiar with the name

I have 6 older watches that I would like to find the value of. 2 are Breitling, 1 is a Tag Heuer and the other 3 are Europeon and all seem to work fine. I live in NYC and would like to fine someone who knows cronographs.

I can take a stab at it if you provide either a lot of description or some pics. Assuming they're not too modern.
