Service dial? Service insert? They are not correct for that serial #.

Can do better for 5 grand IMO.

The bezel is kinda burned... If you've never handled one of these you may
Be disappointed in the folded bracelet. It also look like the bracelet is super
Janky. I'd try to buy this for $3.8-3.9... Market is $4.2-4.5

Personal opinion but I wouldn't buy a snowflake off the 'bay - just too risky.

Better off buying one off a trusted member here or a reputable vintage dealer.

I found mine on ebay. First time seller with bad pictures and I got one of the nicest snowflakes I've seen. With box and papers. Do not be afraid to use ebay. It's no more risky then any forum. Just do your homework. Pay pal will protect you. Credit cards will too

All it needed was the pearl replaced. The original fell out. And it had a luminova one when I bought it.

Ebay snowflake at slightly less than half the price mentioned in this thread. Granted she ain't all dolled up and the prices have gone up since purchase.



I guess my consideration is that for 5K there good options that come along frequently enough to wait for the right one.

Auction ended. Snowflake service dials and hands are really cool. Owned a few over the years and would seriously consider one + cash for mine. However value on this is only around 3.2-3.5 due to the service parts. Open market you'd spend around 1200 to replace the dial/hands/insert.

Not really as they mean the same thing. Like saying 7016 or 7016 slash 0 (7016/0), 7021 or 7021/0 or 7928, 7928/0, 9411/0, 94110, 9401/0, 94010. Just easier to drop the 0 which most people do.

No different to me than saying Chevy instead of Chevrolet, Beamer instead of BMW
, Benz instead of Mercedes Benze etc. I draw the line at Rollie instead of Rolex. :)

This is mine. This is the only good photo I have at the moment.



One of the service dial snowflakes I've owned.

First the images aren't showing on my phone. Second, really? If you really want to go there:
9411/0 produced from 1973-76.

What's your point?
