Authenticity of vintage Tudor 94110 Snowflake

[Tobiasr]

Hello vintage Tudor/Rolex cognoscendi,

I am coming back to this group - looking again for your guidance on the authenticity of a vintage Tudor snowflake 94110 that I am considering buying.

Given there is so much bad material out there, I am getting more and more insecure (refer to my other post from yesterday).
Any feedback on this watch would be very welcome.

Thank you in advance!
Tobias

Not a great example, but it looks legit. Photos are mediocre at best.

* I'm not crazy about the lower decoration of the movement. Want a better photo there. I would like more clear straight on photos of the engravings. I would like clear shots of the back of the Crown Guard and the crown itself

Are you looking specifically for a less expensive snowflake?

Shocking photos as mentioned by Linesiders but at first glance it’s better than yesterday’s offering. I’d be interested to know roughly how much are people asking for these as for me that dictates a fair bit

Asking price is 8200 EUR.

I do not have other photos I fear, attaching two more of the crown. Yes, I am interested in buying a legit snowflake, less expensive is always good...

Interesting what people are asking for price wise
All I can say is I bought mine last year for a fair bit less than the asking price here so they are out there. Don’t rush into a purchase you’ll always find another ask the right question and you’ll be fine.

Thank you. Looks great. That is what I am looking for. Where should I go for this?

All - to answer all questions on this watch, I have received two videos from the seller, that I think are very helpful.
Can you please have a look and help me to understand the authenticity of the watch:

Anything could be faked. But the most likely thing is modern Rolex. Vintage is less likely and non-Rolex is less likely.

I'm just letting this sink in...

Generally looks ok to me but... Should we not be able to see some upper bridge engraving on those movement pics?

Mine came from further away than I would normally look. Bought it from an auction house I’ve used a lot in Melbourne.I bought it sight unseen but asked for advice here on the forum and got some great advice.
Looking at how many fakes are kicking around at the moment it’s a real concern for potential buyers

Thank you. I lived in Melbourne for a few years. Which auction house is that?

Leonard Joel they have some great stuff pop up from time to time.
Melbourne is a fabulous city we lived there for 13 years. I bought my 9411/0 from them after we’d moved back to the uk but I do trust them

I would wait, save everything you can until you find something nicer. Most I have been seeing lately are mediocre.
