Hey guys im interested in this watch and was wondering if it was indeed a watch Tiffany produced and any other information on it would be great!

That is very interesting. I know that Tiffany used to sell Rolexes with their stamp on the dial including Submariners but never have I seen a Tiffany "sub".

Even if it real the watch is in terrible condition and it is positively hideous to look at. As a man, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything Tiffany.

I've no info, but this is definitely not a Rolex. Not that that was your question, but it's worth pointing out for a couple reasons: (1) It's unlikely Tiffany would call this watch a "Submariner," since that would probably constitute a trademark violation. It's probably the seller calling it that - or if it's a fake, then perhaps the manufacturer put that name on it; either way, it's not a name to be taken seriously, which calls into question the credibility of either the piece or the seller, or both. (2) If Tiffany had a deal with Rolex, whereby they could rebrand their watches, why would they then start contracting to rebrand generic-looking watches that actually detract from the Tiffany image? This is not a high-end watch, and does not seem worthy of the Tiffany name. This leads me to think it could be a fake. Obviously I don't know one way or the other, but when in doubt, it's better to pass.

Keep in mind, whether it is "genuine" or "fake" is somewhat of a dubious distinction anyway, since Tiffany is not a watch manufacturer. Even if this is an authentically rebranded Tiffany, we still don't know who made it, and it doesn't look like a particularly great watch anyway. My honest opinion is, even if this is "genuine," you can do better. If you really want an affordable, well-made automatic, try looking at Victorinox or Hamilton.

Well the funny thing is, I don't really value your opinion anyway. You have less posts then me and are new to this forum so being a "man" you should show respect for another. Its called manners, something I guess your parents didn't teach you. :D

I don't really agree with his tone, or his opinion that Tiffany is never suitable for a man, but his general take on the watch in question is pretty much in line with what most people in this thread have been saying. Nobody here has said that's a watch they would consider buying. That should tell you something.
