Watchlords

i would like to buy this Tudor Grantour Date but im unsure if its fake or not
please could someone give me some advice as iv just started collecting tudors and im still wet behind the ears
i dont want to lose large amounts of money....thanks in advance

Buy the seller. Always.

biglove what do you mean by 'Buy the seller. Always.', ???
i dont have a clue what you mean

not a familiar as a couple of folks here with this brand but that appears to be a replica. That model tudor has a 2824 movement with decoration. Buying the seller is taking a look at references on forums

What the fuck language is this guy speaking?

Go to the seller's name on TZ, view their forum posts and their profile, see how many sales they have over the course of time, ask for references if they don't have a lot of sales. just check out how they behave in their posts and see how many posts they have particularly sales posts. Compare their pricing to other listings of the same watch, if the price is too good to be true it's false. If the watch comes with box and papers ask for a photo of them too, ask them for a photo of the watch with a banana next to it.

The movement looks similar to one in my Hydronaut, which was verified authentic by a Rolex trained watchmaker. I only have one picture of it but if you compare small details it appears the one in question is decorated and configured similarly. What appears goofy to me is the end links worked into that leather strap. Could be legit but why would they bother with end links at all? Checking the seller out is key and this watch without bracelet should be under 2K. The watchseller has a black dial on bracelet for $2190.

i thought that was a 2824 movement with decoration in there shows what i know but it was the bezel i was unsure about its has a dot under the numbers and iv not seen this on the other white faced grantours only on the black faced ones,

its not from a trusted seller its off gumtree i dont know the guy what so ever

What did the other nine forums you joined say?

Curious.

its only two other forums and you obviously know they said nothing, thats why i asked the same question on three sites, i need some help today the guy is on me wanting to know if im buying it as hes got other people interested, i had the message on the other forum a good few hours and got no where so thought id try here.....

If the seller is in a hurry and you don't have references, I would pass.

if someone is bugging to purchase it that hard it would be a red flag to me. watchrecon.com

type in tudor grantour , use the drop box to determine how many days to go back. 4-5 of them right now. where is this one listed at

Don't fall for the "other people interested" trick. That's when mistakes are made in any sales transactions. I'm the least qualified to tell you anything about that watch, but I know old sales gimmicks when I see them. Take a breath. Continue to do your due diligence.

Here's the watch he's looking at:

Looks to be a craigslist/iOffer hybrid...buyer beware

had a look at watchrecon.com and could not find anything but im in england and that seem'd to be U.S only, i dont feel right about it theres something about the bezel and the fact im cant find a white faced one with that bezel only black faced ones

Yes Racer-X your right i was looking at both his tudors, Oh yeah its buyer beware theres loads of replicas on there

I would pass and look more on watchrecon.com
The watch you want will turn up and looking at watchrecon will expose you to more of what's out there and you will see many decent deals. It's easier to check out sellers there too.

The seller says: These are going for 1600 pounds but i'm selling mine for 750.....the site is loaded with fake Armanis....check out chrono24.com as another source of trusted sellers although it is primarily dealers not private sales...

I have a personal policy for watches in this range: no box, no papers, no buy. It may sound trite, but it works for me. My other policy is equally simple: patience, always patience. Pass on this one. Something's NKR (Not Kwite Right)...hang in there, dbd.

they sell for around £1000 thats him making it sound extra better then it is, i cant take the chance with that sort of money which is why i asked for some advice, the movement looks good its just the bezel putting me off and the fact he's got no paper work for it, it seems to me if your going to buy a $4000 watch you would keep the sales receipt and paper work.....well i think as no one can give me a definite answer one way or the other ill have to leave it, lets hope iv not let a good buy get away..lol

mortuus i here what your saying but have you seen some of the fake boxes and documents that come with the replica rolexs and alikenow days, i kid you not i took the serial number off one of the boxes listed as replica i then put it into rolex.com and they ask me to register the rolex deepsea sea dweller for the 2 years warrant..crazy shit mate,

Your problem is getting boring, no offense.

are you some sort of cock, if its boring you go a read something else...no offense

You come here asking about a watch that is posted on a site you admit has more then a few reps. You say no paper work or boxes... The guy selling is pressuring you to pay up.

Use your bean DirtBox...

Yes your constant whining is boring.

Put on your Big Boy pants and make your decision
