Tudor snowflake service hands cost?

[Kingsking]

I've been looking for a beater sub i can wear on a nato for some time now and have come across a 9411/0 with service dial and mercedes hands , if i wanted to swap out the mercedes hands for the correct snowflake hands what would that cost me from Tudor?

I did this about 3 years ago. I inherited my dad's 1973 Tudor 9411/0 which was fitted with Mercedes hands and managed to source the appropriate vintage Snowflake handset. I paid what now seems a decent price but I was told that they have really gone up. I was told the same handset I bought 3 years ago for $500 is now $2,500. I have no idea what the true market is but be careful. There are so many AM handsets out there - some that are really good.

Philip Ridley of Watchmakers International is a good resource for authentic vintage parts. Phillip and his father Bob Ridley are both CW21 Watchmakers and specialize in Rolex. They are honest and do great work.

Thanks for the reply , great information. Since it’s a beater and already has a service dial I’m not sure I need to really go the vintage period correct route and might just settle for some service hands from Tudor.
