Hi guys,
I have the opportunity to buy my first vintage Tudor. Unfortunately I'm not so familiar with the Submariner Snowflake and I would really appreciate your thoughts if its an original? First thing why I am a little hesitating is the bezel insert which looks quite new compared to the overall condition of the watch.
Sorry, for not having better pics.

Once again with pics. Hope it will work now.

bradda · 20 September 2014, 04:53 AM

Any thoughts?

Any pics ?

bradda · 20 September 2014, 05:49 AM

Sorry my fault, they are visible to me (guess in cache).

My last try. Hope it will finally work.

Finally. I'm no expert but that's a handsome snowflake. The insert looks nice, mark III FF. The hands though look relumed. The experts will chime in soon. 😉

It's nice. The crystal has def been through the wringer.
Can you shoot the case lugs? How much?

Michael M. · 21 September 2014, 08:07 AM

Looks like a nice and original snowflake.

linesiders · 21 September 2014, 08:41 AM

Not sure hands are relumed - big pics but not as clear to indicate that - looks nice overall

V.lats97nsx · 21 September 2014, 10:11 AM

Looks good to me. I also don't believe the hands are relumed. I questioned my snowflake at first. Since I knew the previous one time owner and believe him for his word it has not been relumed. Here's mine but mine does have some corrosion on the hands unlike the one your showing

nice original snowflake. hands I'd say are original lume. not uncommon to age differently.

I like that faded bezel in combination with the patina on the dial!

Beautiful snowflake!
Hands look original tritium, not relume.

As said earlier, it's not uncommon to have the hands age differently than
the dial plots. Just a matter if you mind the colour difference or not.

Case looks in really nice shape.

What is the price being asked? If it is acceptable to you, snap it up before
someone else does.

That insert is beautiful. Looks like a honest flake to me. Hands are original as far as I'm concerned. Hands that match perfectly are very uncommon on this watch. The case condition is very nice. Fat lugs and crownguards.
