Then I suggest you are in the perfect situation to change Stevo's master password while he's necking the last bottle of vino.

It is a vintage Tudor Snowflake 94110 with original bezel, folded bracelet, hands, dial, crown & tube.

It is a very very original piece..and in great condition.

There is some slight corrosion on the hands, but it is barely noticeable and it is a uniform level of age, so it does accord with the age and antiquity of the piece which was made in the 1970....some 40+ years ago.

Thanks guys, yes I am very happy with the dial.
The patina is a very light cream and it matches the hands perfectly.
It is very difficult to find a Tudor Snowflake in this condition for sure, and I knew if I let this one pass by...well I might not ever have the same opportunity again.

I could see myself looking back on this opportunity and kicking myself if I had not purchased this watch.
