But Mercedes hands on a 94010 would mean it also has the newer triangle marker dial, right?

The watch in question has a snowflake dial, which I believe never came with mercedes hands, but I might be wrong.

Yes, you are right. I stand corrected.

Yes it is indeed a late one and if you google MN83 it is also a snowflake. Plus it does come with full original paperwork. Also It has been confirmed in a batch of Tudors supplied to Marine Nationale. As with everything in our little vintage hobby there are loads of angles to check out, as one should, before purchase.

Great news about the serial matching a Marine Nationale batch. Where did you fid the confirmation?
