But I m not an expert, and I can t certificate 
Optical illusion Rolex Tudor Monte Carlo 7159
Part 1. Optical illusion done in photoshop? Not so sure can you spot the differences put the number in the title of your post then name them in your post. HAGWE Bill ...
You're so greedy that you could well have bought two! :)
The booklet is different as well a the writing on the box. Then, the ad covers the right part of your picture, so it is difficult to say... Best, Nicolas
I made the image smaller.
Looks to see. You said two different so far. There is more. Stay tuned part two after we have a few responses. Bill
The color of the writing Tudor on the booklets,
Rolex of Geneva, . Rolex on the inside part of the box, there is a gold thing inside the box, just below the bezel of the watch ( box on the right ) + the two others I spotted before, that makes 5. Best, Nicolas
The time is different on the watches
I have added some pictures of the watches see the difference ther? A+ Bill
The writing in the boxes are different too
great watches and definitely a very rare picture !
And the watches - spot the differences.
A little more fun. How many elements are different? Bill ...
I think that may be more from the picture
I don\'t think they are different but I will look closer. It may just be the paint is thicker on one. Bill
Good catch but
did you catch both elements. One pusher is unscrewed and the other point one is smooth the other has the line around it. Best Bill
A picture to illustrate (of course here is not a Tudor)

The pushers look correct the watches are very close serials
The are about 3000 apart 779,xxx (smooth pushers) left and 775,xxx right. I also have some theories about the inside dial right side. There are some gray like theses and some more black. From my observations all (most) of the black subdial variation have ...
I know you know - But I was making a comment for public understanding
Thank you for including this detailed photo. I guess the question is MK3 = service of MK3 pushers that I am not sure "service or not service". Do you know. Thanks Bill
I not sure...

Interesting.......
What we do know is that Tudor had a nightmare with the paint on their dials in the early 70s. It's common to see spotting on the grey dialled 71xx chronos. Do you think the paint faded or they were manufactured lighter. I'd be interested in your pics that...
I have a feeling they were born light gray
It is true with the spotting on these dials. The one on the right is about as perfect as you can get the one on the left has a tiny blemish just above the date but only under the loop. I have not really compared the black sub dials or have any experience ...
Another good comment
These watches have some nice fat cases to start with which is a great feeling on the wrist. Bill
Pushers, patina of the dial, more or less polished case.
Condition of the bezels. Wil come back to your pics... ;) Best, Nicolas
To quote a British TV personality.............
"Good Game, Good Game" Again, I have learnt much. :)
the time....
One shows 10:10 and the other 10 to 2 Patina on the hands. Also the left seconds hands are about a second faster. Great game Bill Best to you Ed
