Description: Great and rare blue Tudor SNOWFLAKE.
The case is in very good condition. Certainly slightly polished in the past, the case still shows beautiful full lugs, good bevelled edges and a very good matt finish on the top of the case.
The blue Submariner SNOWFLAKE dial is certainly the highlight of this watch. It is in wonderful condition with a nice strong blue tone and shows no damage. The print is clear and the lume material has taken on a creamy patina, which harmonizes perfectly with the blue of the dial.
The original tritium hands are also in very good condition and match the color of the sheet’s patina almost perfectly. The hour hand has been professionally repaired in the past and shows a slight line in the lume material, which in nature is absolutely irrelevant.
The bezel is sharp with clean edges and minor signs of wear. The bezel insert is a somewhat younger MK4 bezel insert, which harmonizes wonderfully with the dial due to its strong blue tone.
Of course, this great Vintage Submariner is also offered with an original t19 superdomed glass, because a vintage sub exude its full charm especially with this glas.
The 9315 oyster bracelet with Tudor folding clasp is in very good condition. It shows signs of wear, but is unpolished and comes with little stretch. It is perfect to wear and with clasp code L11, the bracelet dates from November 1987
Conclusion: Great blue snowflake with a powerful charisma. Those blue subs are one of the reasons I love Tudor so much.
