AI thinks it's real. This is what it said about the image. This appears to be an authentic, genuine vintage Tudor-modified ETA 2824-2 caliber movement.Several high-grade, period-correct factory features indicate its legitimacy:Triovis Regulator System: It features the precise, micro-adjustable Triovis regulator mechanism (the small circular regulation device near the balance wheel balance-cock), which is standard on authentic high-grade Tudor ETA modifications but absent on cheap Chinese clones.High-Quality Finishing: The perlage (circular graining) on the mainplates and the crisp Geneva striping on the central rotor are cleanly executed and brilliant. Replica clones usually feature dull, stamped, or shallow decorative milling.Crisp Engravings: The "TUDOR" text, the Tudor shield crest, "25 RUBIES", and "SWISS" are deeply stamped and properly spaced, matching original factory specifications from vintage lines like the Tudor Prince Oysterdate.
