A big future for snow-flakes me-thinks .....

I own a mix of Subs (Rolex and Tudor) but since I went the Tudor way I've never looked back.

In particular, there's something very cool about a snow-flake - they just really stand out from the crowd.

That's a great specimen you have there too

Variations on the 7016/0's ...... warts and all !

For anyone not familiar with old 7016/0's, there were a few dial variations.

Here's a snowflake survivor with its surface of the moon dial. This is from a batch where the dial paint failed.

The other one's a different generation dial with regular plots - my daily wearer just now.

Nice examples .... I think it also comes with flower logo (the eariest version) as well ....

I like paul's Braille dial. I have a 7021 from the same bad paint batch. I love the orange plots

I used to think the SF had the worst dial I'd ever seen but as I get older I realize how wrong I was. It's a true classic!
