I was recently on a vacation in Europe and stumbled across a small watch store in Paris. While looking around I tried on my first Tudor Snowflake 94110 on a great weathered brown leather band - love at first sight. I was so tempted to buy it but couldn't stomach the exchange rate. I'm now back in the U.S. trying to find something similar. Have done a lot of searching, but some seem too good to be true and others seem way outside the budget. If anyone has any leads or good ideas, I would welcome the feedback. Chrono24 and Ebay seem to have a lot listed, but I'm hesitant to buy internationally and ebay can be a gamble. Thanks in advance.

Here are a few I found that seemed interesting:

Welcome aboard - it is a minefield sometimes to find one but they are great pieces

The first Ebay one you linked is is a fake / counterfeit - stay away, second one is OK.

They are beautiful watches but as you've found you need to tread carefully.

Here are some helpful links:

And of course a wrist shot to further tempt you...

Great choice, the snowflake is a special sub :)
Take your time looking for one, it's worth the wait for a great example.

I was never into vintage until I tried a snowflake. Now I need to have one!

I bought a great one last year with NATO strap. Would appreciate it if anyone knows of a Rolex band for sale.
