Tudor Submariner Snowflake Serial #903,829

In the very unlikely event that one of you owns Tudor Submariner Snowflake Serial # 903,829 (1977/78), your box and papers are on Ebay.

There is an ever so little chance

I thought the number 903829 matched with 1979?

I would say 1978. 910 or so up to 937k can be 1979

Can you ascertain the model just from the serial number? I always laughed at such claims as a pile of stray parts being marketed to the naive

No, you might get close. With enough examples you can build out a range. But that is also a sport box which makes it closer ; )

I see a nice fat font and correct case profile - not enough detail in the photo to go beyond that

A Black No Date absolutely existed then and thru the early / mid 1980s
