Blue Snowflake 94110

Thinking about this one after missing out on the other Tudor blue sub. This comes with box and papers.

Thoughts on condition / originality of parts?

Bezel inserts a replacement but everything else looks good.

Depends on condition, but for something decent, figure an additional $2000-$3000. I'm talking about a pre-owned bracelet.

Oof. This one is listed at $10.5, which is already above budget. Now to play the "is it worth it" game in my head, especially with b&p...

Blue Snowflake 94110

Or get a period oem crystal, and get a brand new bracelet from an AD ( for around $1000)

For example, I Purchased from AD in April 19 a service replacement 78360 Oyster bracelet $920 for my 1994 big block.

Not a bad example. Great dial and hands. Somewhat polished case and bezel.

Serial #is probably around 880-890k based on the less decorated movement (not unusual in 77/78).

Never used the seller but have heard good words on them, but you are paying a little extra for the the name.

I'm struggling with how hard its getting to find these (in good shape, with box and papers to boot) vs. paying more than what I really wanted to pay.

The tough part is that I don't think this is an inflated price due to market; I only see these going up and up and up....

I think one of the previous posts mentioned, but yes - I also saw that this one is from Menta in Miami. Who is great. I'd consider buying this if I wasn't in the UK and had to cough up a whole load of tax on it.

I turned down a Big Red Daytona at 15 grand about seven years ago because it was more than I wanted to pay. They're about five times that now. I very much missed the boat.

If you like it and you have the money to spare, get it, don't regret it.
