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...

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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

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.

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.
