Would you consider keeping this replica and when you get your genuine Tudor BB Bronze doing a side by side comparison to help people identify the differences?
Thank you Chris for this great video. I'm sorry you had this bad experience. This is why we need to be so careful and educated when making these purchases. Glad you were able to resolve without a loss. Hope you can find a good deal on the real bronze Black Bay. All the best and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃👍🙏🙌
Realize I'm late to the party but the seller did know it was a fake. Its easy to tell, had they thought it was authentic when they sold it they would want that watch back. Obviously they bought it from somewhere and lets say they paid $2000 for it, you'd want a shot to get that money back, not just let whoever has it keep it. Glad they repaid you but I'd still report it to wherever you bought it from.
Did the seller provide a box and warranty card alonside the watch? Your vidéo is really well done for those who want to get one black bay bronze. Thank you !
The Seller obviously knew they had sold a fake watch.off course it was intentional. If he was for real he would have disputed your claim and certainly wanted it back to challenge where he got it from.
Just so you know DLC is PVD. PVD (Positive or Physical vapour Deposition) is the process by which a coating such as DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is applied. DLC is only in Grey-Black so the coating this and Tudor uses is the same. The movement securing tabs are far from a joke and are commonly used especially in oversized watches that use undersized movements (this is no exception). There is going to be a loose screw floating around in there unless it was always missing. Finally be careful with earlier Rose logo smiley face Tudors as they do use a 2824 movement to begin with. You might want to look up Triovis regulator to know one of the modifications the genuine movement has over a stock movement.
If you haven't smashed it yet. I'll pay for shipping if you want to ship it to me.. I'd like to attach it to my fence, and see how the brass wears over time!
I bought a Tag Heuer Aquaracer on Ebay which I believe was a fake. The lume color was wrong and the packaging was wrong. It felt nice, looked nice and had the same weight but I just knew something wasn't right. I contacted the seller and they did refund me. I was able to return it and they paid the return shipping so I wasn't out and money. I in the other hand do feel they were being deceptive as they were selling it as a new watch. After receiving my money back I made a point to warn others through social media. I believe if someone wasn't into watches they would have been easily duped. I proceeded to purchase a real one and automatically noticed the differences between the two. Thanks for your video.
Replica originally meant a copy made by the same artisan or workshop that made the original. Hence, replica sports jerseys are replicas in the original sense of the word. I still find this use of “replica” bizarre, but I’m weird.
Sorry about this. At least you're getting your money back. Idk, maybe use it to make your own modded watch? Something you might like to see in a bronze case? Otherwise, know anyone with some nice firearms to do practice shooting this thing with?
Had a similar experience with a Seamaster. It was supposed to be a pre-owned James Bond 50th Anniversary. What I got was a new fake. A pretty decent fake, but a fake none the less, and something you can get online from who knows how many sellers for maybe $150. Similar flags on the seller, good but limited feedback, and no real history of selling items over a few hundred dollars. I initially got a tracking number that was invalid. I reached out to the seller regarding the fake tracking number and got something along the lines of "Something must have gone wrong, I sent it" and he closed with "I am honest seller." When I contacted eBay, they didn't even blink and immediately issued a refund. I gave the watch to a friend and it's been mistaken as genuine a few times.
Great recovery Chris from a traumatic experience🤜🏻🤛🏽 If you want to, send the body/movement to me & I’ll recycle it into a new build with a custom dial & show you the results😁
hello, love the watch so i am planning to get myself one. just want to ask one thing before making the purchase, i saw the watch onsite and seems like the tip of the minute needle is a bit tilted downwards, is it because of the dome glass type or is it suppose to be tilted? Thanks!
Thats why I dont really go into secondhand watches, this model is discountinued in AD, but you can still get brand new in trusted grey market, now people learn lessons.
I have a tudor black bay bronze black dial bought in december 2020 for AD, It has 4 years warranty left. I'm located in US Boca Raton. I'm asking $2900.

Did the watch go through eBay’s authentication process?

This isn't a replica. It's a counterfeit.
Did you ever end up getting another?
Why is it such an issue to mention the site you bought it from? And if anyone knows, can they tell me.
Pretty sure when you flip it over with the nato strap you should not see the pins they in small pockets to stop the strap from sliding

looks real to me
Is it still bronze? Or is it some kind of plating or paint?
The case is still bronze. Have fun with it a a custom mod and turn it into your own build.
Wow sorry to hear you would destroy it. I would love to have it. If you still have it can I buy it?
eBay authenticator used?
This is my question, did this go through eBay Authentication?
Did the watch come with box and papers?

I have a tudor black bay bronze black dial bought in december 2020 for AD, It has 4 years warranty left. I'm located in US Boca Raton. I'm asking $2900.
I’ll give you $29.99 if you include UPS.
That looks like the STP1-11 makes sense in a knockoff. Its a swiss eta clone. Hey at least they used a Swiss movement lol
Nice ending to the story. Don't destroy it, use the case to build your own watch.
too many signal, the case, the stratp, the letters color etc ip
So hard to trust anyone on eBay. They fake $11 Casios for f’s sake.
No, it’s a fake. Spot it at a glance
Smash it!
Scary!
Always buy expensive watches from your local AD.
Replica at first sight. Sorry. The opposite is true, he refunded quickly to deescalate the situation. Thats it.
f'in ebay
thats a horrible fake
Lesson? Avoid tudder and tysot!
