Considering the crown is a fake Tudor crown, I wouldn't buy one of these watches. It seems pretty obvious they are made from parts used in the manufacture of knockoffs.

Corgeut's Tudor Black Bay - Thoughts?
Was just browsing randomly looking at Tudor Black Bay watches and came across these Corgeut 'Black Bay' watches selling for $130. Here are some pictures I pulled from their webpage.

They also have a version with blue markers on the dial...

I never heard of Corgeut but I emailed them to find out exactly what movement they're using. It seems they went the shameless route and wanted to produce an exact copy of the Black Bay with everything being similar but their name (as Parnis has done with their Black Bay Red version which sells for twice as much). Although I love the Tudor Black Bay watches and hope to own one in the future, I think this feels too much like a replica for me to wear especially with their copy of the markings on the crown.
Perhaps the version with the gold markings and date window makes it unique enough to differentiate it from the originals, but I'm just curious what other people's thoughts were. How would you feel about wearing this watch versus one that's been modded to look like the original? Thanks
Edit: They emailed back saying it uses a Miyota 8125 movement

Aside from the Tudoresk marking on the crowns face and other locations I don't have a problem with the overall look. I wish mine had the date............
I made up a watch very much based off the Black Bay and I don't feel bad about it at all. I don't believe anyone could look directly at my watch and tell me that I want to think it is a Tudor product.

Polished crown face but I've considered having it etched as well as the sides of the case, just haven't figured out a design yet.

With the exception of the really slight dome on the real one, the case looks similar to the real one
