BluffCityBandit 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Anyone with some free time mind flagging this one for me? "SELF WINGDING" WING DING!!!! Actually first found this one on WUS as I was genuinely interested until I noticed. Notified the seller but he hasn't responded yet. Claimed to have all sorts of service done to it... I have a hard time believing that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tudor-Prince-Oysterdate-38mm-Circa-1975-Pristine-Condition-/300776059182?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item4607a6712e Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted September 9, 2012 AFAIK the Tudor Prince is an automatic watch. Hence the legend "Self Winding" on the dial. LOL your right.the WUS entry says Self Wingding....http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-tudor-prince-oysterdate-38mm-circa-1975-pristine-condition-737307.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyril_Clunge 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah but I doubt Tudor would spell it Self Wingding on the dial Seriously, check it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluffCityBandit 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Been looking around at various gen Tudors (mainly older day date's). This pretty much scared me off of buying anywhere but perhaps the rolex forum... and they come up pretty infrequently there. Is there a Tudor expert around here? I was a little surprised at the fakes and frankens I've come across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted September 9, 2012 I've reported it at WUS and the 'bay............maybe Cyril knows someone who'd want to bid on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluffCityBandit 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Gotta be honest.. I want it! But for more like $50 instead of $800... looks like a fantastic vintage rep... the glaring stereotypical rep mistake gives some character to it IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted September 9, 2012 It seems that this is a recurring issue............Google it and you'll see what I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluffCityBandit 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Seller says he got it from a major watch dealer and an actual Rolex tech did the servicing. Told him this tech was indeed "special". Given his reputation on that forum and on ebay, I tend to believe he didn't know... I guess. Anyway, he's removing the sale from WUS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DKaiser Söze 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Seller says he got it from a major watch dealer and an actual Rolex tech did the servicing. Told him this tech was indeed "special". Given his reputation on that forum and on ebay, I tend to believe he didn't know... I guess. Anyway, he's removing the sale from WUS. There is a guy on The rolex forum who is claiming to have a "wingding" gen tudor that apparently was the victim of a bad refinishing job. I can't imagine getting my refinished watch back and it saying "wingding" on it. I tend to believe he has had a rep all along but whatever makes him sleep at night. It would wundung me up.LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flaguyinetown 0 Posted November 3, 2012 Dude, I don't think I've ever seen a tudor rep with an automatic movement. I've only seen quartz reps or the odd snow flake custom build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
