This one from michel33's thread looks pretty good to me.

It just looks unbalanced to me, Adam.

The flake hour hand helps differentiate it from the minute hand underwater. A true tool, purpose built watch. Get one in blue and it can stand on its on with a Rolex. Somebody likes them because mine has doubled in value since I bought it 4 years ago.

Best hands out there!
Dislike Mercedes hands

The geek in me demands form follow function.

Anyone who thinks this design is any less iconic than the Rolex sub, well, should just get a Rolex.

Like another poster said above: I've never seen another Tudor in the wild; however I have seen several Rolex subs.

Sorry for blurry photo... I realized my son got some sort of god knows what on the lens.

WAK4 · 10 July 2016, 03:04 AM

Yup, do like them on the Tudors. Don't think I'd care for them if they started to appear on Rolex models; the mercedes hands fit them best IMO

cdbeaver66 · 10 July 2016, 03:32 AM

I love the snowflake hands

Personally I like the snowflake hands. They are different, quirky, and I actually think its works really well with the watch. The BB just wouldn't be the same without the snowflake!

illusionest · 10 July 2016, 05:48 AM

love the snowflake hands - trademark of Tudor and great way to differentiate the Tudor brand and Rolex brand. Its unique and it also provides larger surface area for lume. I think snowflake hands are also sportier than the mercedes, so it matches the vibe of the Tudor watches. However, that being said, I think the mercedes hands are great and thats why I have several subs :)

sitka39 · 10 July 2016, 05:49 AM

I'm mostly bothered by the hour hand in particular. It could have been better...

That's the hand I HATE!!!!

I think it would look better with sword hands.

Jocke · 10 July 2016, 06:02 AM

How can you not love those?

HogwldFLTR · 10 July 2016, 06:05 AM

More than happy to have Tudor be Tudor and Rolex, Rolex. Viva la difference!!!

Baco Noir · 10 July 2016, 06:22 AM

Love them. I have wanted a blue Tudor sub for more than a decade but now prices have gotten out of control. If there is ever a correction in pricing, I'll strongly consider jumping on one.

DPE · 10 July 2016, 06:27 AM

If you buy a Tudor, they are a trade mark. Whats not to like.

Speed · 10 July 2016, 06:31 AM

Love the hands...but I consider the round plots a major fail here. They should be square!

arguetaoscar · 10 July 2016, 10:32 AM

Really like the Snow flakes!!!

Funny, regarding the plots I really like the round ones better. Different strokes I guess. Not as fond of the square ones either.

J!m · 10 July 2016, 10:40 AM

I'm amazed how polarized this thread is!

Truly a love/hate situation.

Very interesting!

Snowflake + square markers, yes. Round markers, no.

Anyone find the BB hour hand too long? I find the length of the Pelagos hour hand to be better balanced with the rest of the dial.

I would buy a bronze in a heartbeat if it wasn't for those hands

imlying · 11 July 2016, 04:45 AM

Snowflake is to Tudor like the Mercedes hands are to the Sub. It's the iconic thing that makes it so unique to itself. I love the snowflake hands on my blackbay, it wouldn't look right with Merc hands!
