Gentleman,
Would you mind sharing your thoughts with me on this Snowflake? The dial shows T Swiss Made T which is not consistent with others I've come across. Many thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/121433603971...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Gotcha! Thank you! Am I correct in assuming it's an early service dial based on the Tritium? I can't tell from the pics but is this a glossy dial? Would it have originally come with a matte dial? |

You are correct about it being early, I have had the both new and old service dials, both look matte.. This one looks matte as well... Major differences are the shade of blue..

Thanks Walter! Does the service dial significantly affect the value? |

I've not had a chance to get a good feel for pricing. What would be a fair price on a piece like this? |

$4k is retail ... $4.8k is laughable.

As others have said, price is in the high side... I am not seeing these as often.. For some, service dial lowers the value.

Over priced with that dial and insert - a bit. For a watch with a service dial it is pretty nice but it is a service dial.

Service dial blue with service insert should bring around 3500.
I've seen three versions of service blue dials. Tritium matte but not blue/grey. More navy blue. Luminova gloss blue but tritium marked. Royal blue Luminova marked SWISS made. Gloss blue. Says prince date instead of prince oyster date.
