Tudor Snowflake

My first Snowflake and it’s definitely a keeper. This watch has been on my radar for over a year but the prior owner only recently decided to part with it.
Although it does not have papers it’s nice to have some of the bits it came with.

A big thanks to Phillip Ridley for the excellent service! 👍

Phillip Ridley recently serviced my Tudor Sub from '91 and added a superdome acrylic. Phillip has serviced numerous watches for me over the years. Excellent service!

A leather NATO is recommended and of course a Phenix Admiralty Grey Milsub strap is an absolute must.
