Tudor Sub Production Dates?

I was looking at a vintage Tudor 9411 from a trusted seller. The serial range is listed in the 54xxxx range. From my research, this places the watch around 1965. To my knowledge, the 9411 didn't come around until around 1973. Can any Tudor experts confirm my suspicions? Thanks in advance.

Correct: a 54X,xxx would be a mid 60s Tudor 7928 - almost a decade before the 9401/9411 introduction. The 9401/9411 could have a 54,XXX serial and be a Snowflake from the 80s

It is a Snowflake, but definitely 6 digits in the serial, not 5.

But then wouldn't the serial# at least be in line with ref#, or am I misunderstanding. An old 9411 case could never get re-stamped with a new number, right?

I'll ask the seller more questions.

Get photos of the ref & the serial - or all photos - really apprehensive. NOT a 6digit 500 serial snowflake. Not happening
