Snowflake Tudor Sub help

thoughts on this one? Insert looks original? Case is original finish? Nice patina? Date wheel looks correct?

Looks ok from the posted pictures.

Service crystal, insert looks right, can't comment on date wheel from one photo but probably fine.

Depending on year of manufacturing, dial may be a service replacement.

That is a nice looking watch.

What number is written on the bottom of each end link?

What number is written on the bracelet?

I like it - would want better photos of dial - it looks legit and I do not suspect a service dial.

Is the datewheel white or silver?

If the price is right...

I agree on the date and the dial is probably original since it is that late.

Lucky find!

That example is SUPER SHARP and clean.

Did Tudor resolve the dial rot issues by their late 9401 references?

tudor box inner & outer, tudor brochure, red tudor wallet, tudor punched guarantee dated 77.

Seems like (other than a hang tag) it is a full set.

How does the pip look....seems oddly transparent? How does the case look? Dare i say that it has not seen a polishing wheel?

Is that how the caseback came from the factory? the matt finish on the center of the caseback and the circular finish on the lugs?
