Guys, possibly buying this Tudor, bit unsure of it overall so would appreciate your fantastic advice as usual!

A few oddities. The hour hand looks a lil fat. Is the insert glued in? Doesn't seem to be fat fonted as much as I expect. post pics of the band unless you are a pro. What does the back look like?

JohnnyNoDate · 9 January 2016, 06:30 AM

- Looks like a proper polish with sharp case and bezel with some honest wear marks still showing through.

- The top/left spring bar is slightly peaking, but often times spring bars will lean into one side (i.e.: the opposite top/right side looks very deep). The thick case suggests it's fine though.

- I think the insert looks right and is age appropriate in relation to the other pieces here.

- Original tritium pearl snapped off, but the lower plastic "ring" is still set in place.

- Triplock crown.

- Dial and hands look original. It's your call if you prefer the dial rot and mismatched hands. But I've seen a few examples with similar setups.

- Consider checking the movement for possible moisture damage and pitting between the lugs.

I would also check to see if it's a roulette date wheel (alternating black and red dates).

Overall, I think a nice piece!

I think it is OK - a nice black Pizza Face

Have a similar (less bubbled) one with Cocoa Hands

I am going to put a new crystal on it and pressure test the watch

Looks like an all original water damaged snowflake to me. Check for case rot.

Baileys · 13 January 2016, 01:06 AM

Thanks all! Im still on the fence! The price is fair I presume at $2900 roughly converted.

harry in montreal · 13 January 2016, 01:22 AM

If the band is legit its a very good deal.

Baileys · 13 January 2016, 02:40 AM

I should of mentioned.... the bracelet isn't included!! A shame as it was the original item but has been since sold off

Baileys · 13 January 2016, 02:46 AM

Oh... one more thing!!! The seller has said its a9411/0, circa 1976, with SN:84230* Would this be correct? Im a lover of these snowflakes but with not much detailed knowledge!!

anirudh.412 · 14 January 2016, 05:21 AM

These can be had for sub 3k!? I'd pick one up right away if I can find one

Sweet pick up Baileys. I have a thing for the kind of bubbled up dials Tudor subs are known for

Baileys · 20 January 2016, 09:14 PM

Well guys, she arrived this morning from down under! I'll post up some photos later with the collection!
