I'm new at collecting vintage watches and ran across this Tudor watch Movement: 25 Jewel Full Rotor Automatic Signed Tudor Auto Prince Calibre 2462. I want to know is it the real thing.      | ||

It looks real to me, but the dial has been refinished, so it depends on the price and if a refinished dial bothers you or not. | ||

Zaf, since I'm new at this too, would you mind explaining how you can tell the dial has been re-finished? Thanks | ||

At a first level, the first give away, is that it's blurry. After that you can see that the "ROSE" logo isn't the right shape, and the "T" and "U" of Tudor are touching each other. Generally speaking original dials are crisp in print and don't have obvious flaws like that. | ||

The seller told me that it has been restored and has a restored/finished dial. It looks like a good watch. Thanks | ||

Zaf, Do you think this watch is worth 475.00? | ||

I think $475 is OK. |
