To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Tudor watches is to look at the text on the dial. In almost every case of a fake Tudor watch, you’ll see these with their main “TUDOR” text, as well as with the other inscriptions at the wrong thickness and kerning between the letters.
We get it, spotting fake Tudor watches wasn’t always so easy, especially when trying to buy one – you feel more pressure on your shoulder because you’re definitely trying to buy an authentic one and not to get scammed with a fake.
Maybe it’s that or just the fact that you want to get some more knowledge on the Tudor watches and on which is the real one, as well as which is the fake one.
Either way, we are here to teach you all you need to know when it comes to authenticating Tudor watches, and hopefully, by the end of reading this fake vs real Tudor watch guide, you are going to know how to differentiate between the two, way easier than before.
You can tell the difference between a fake Tudor and a real Tudor by checking the dial’s inscriptions. Fake watches always have misplaced inscriptions that often look too thick or too thin.
On the other hand, the real Tudor watches always have their text on the dial at the right thickness + placement.
Lets look at another comparison:
Yet again, the same flaw is visible in the image with the real vs fake Tudor watches above as well.
Precisely, we are going to care about the bezel’s colour, the numbers that are printed on it, and also the rotation of the bezel.
You should also take a look at the printed number “6” on the bezel, and the two bezel’s color mix in that area, both on the genuine and the fake watch.
The crown presents the famous “Tudor Rose” symbol.
The authentic Tudor watch has its rose looking less sharp since it is less noticeable and less flashy than the real one.
A quick mention:
If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.
Keep in mind that the crown of an authentic Tudor watch has to be rotated smoothly, with no big effort.
A difference in terms of engraving consistency can definitely be seen when comparing the genuine Tudor watch with a replica Tudor watch.
On the genuine Tudor, the glowing is way higher and more powerful than the fake one.
Speaking of the real one, you can notice how it has its “GAS ESCAPE VALVE” text more visible and also thinner than the fake one, presenting a much higher quality when it comes to the engravings.
