Great example, congrats!

Looks good on the SS bracelet.

BaltimoreBrian · 27 December 2011, 08:39 AM

Picked up a Tudor box for the watch to help complete the package.

touchdowntodd · 27 December 2011, 11:09 AM

that blue snowflake is great

Hello Tudor Snowflake Sub owners! Might any of you have the original literature that came with your sub or possibly period catalog/advertisements that you would be willing to scan and share with me? My Sub did not come with and would love to see.

Thank you! Brian

BaltimoreBrian · 13 January 2012, 02:12 PM

I did find this online TUDOR booklet from Chuck Maddox, 1982. Still searching for something older

This is what I know, a few months ago the watch was purchased from its original owner by a vintage watch dealer. The dealer sold it to another TRF member who had it for a short time before selling to me.

The watch is all original, serial # 845xxx, and as you can see has a nice steel blue color to the bezel. It didn't come with a bracelet, but this cool Speed Bird Nato. It is great to be a part of the Snowflake Sub Family!

Nice capture - congrats - i've always been "queer" for blue

as to your question about which strap looks best on the blue snowflake - it would be easier to answer what strap color doesn't look good on it

Dan Pierce put up some nice strap combos - only one i'd add, and i don't have a picture of one, is a highly distressed thick grey leather strap

enjoy the watch - i'll check my tudor literature this evening to see what i've got that might be of use

liptonnr · 14 January 2012, 04:16 PM

Fantastic! Congrats

Now that looks amazing! The bracelet does look best. A nice med brown vintage leather is a close second. Everthing else looks like, you got a watch that someone sold the bracelet off for parts. I do have a few of those myself. Comes with the territory of collecting vintage watches I guess.
Ironically, I am on the (unsuccessful to date) hunt for a blue bezel insert for a similar blue Tudor snowflake! Ironically, mine came with a beautiful original bracelet, but no bezel insert. Any ideas?

BaltimoreBrian · 24 February 2012, 07:09 AM

The strap is a great color and comfortable too! I ordered it from Alan and www.VintageHour.com after I saw one of his blue snowflakes sporting one.

s4dan · 24 February 2012, 07:16 AM

Very Nice Blue Combo!!

Brisman · 24 February 2012, 07:49 PM

Nice combo Brian.

Took the bracelet off my blue 9411/0 and put it on the black 7016/0. Although I like the Nato it came on, this 7016/0 looks great on the bracelet IMO.

BaltimoreBrian · 25 February 2012, 01:30 AM

Oh, forgot to mention the new blue leather strap is Kangaroo. ;-)

(That is for all my Aussie friends on TRF)

Brisman, I like the look of the bracelet and NATO on these pieces. So nice to be able to change looks so easily.
