This from a reputable vintage dealer here in Tokyo. Everything seems period correct for a 1978 model:

Ref. 94110
1978 serial number
ETA 2783 movement
9315 bracelet with Tudor logo clasp and 380 end links

Would be very interested in hearing the opinions of the experts here. Might pull the trigger if all works out. The lugs show it's been polished, but that's not a deal breaker in view of the difficulty of finding an unpolished blue snowflake these days...

Please don't be afraid to put me off if you spot anything untoward...

I love it !( but i'm no snowflake expert)

Looks great to me.

jollerbarn · 7 September 2014, 01:46 AM

I'm not an expert, but the dial and insert are pretty amazing. Case also looks pretty fat. Can't vouch for authenticity though.

Thumbs up

Looking good from here.

linesiders · 7 September 2014, 04:34 AM

Bigger pics would be better but everything looks AOK from what I see

Tcaviglioli · 7 September 2014, 04:35 AM

real nice, deep color of the dial and discoloration of the insert is typical of similar tudor bezel.

Looks like a very nice example that is perfectly correct.

CrownMe · 7 September 2014, 04:46 AM

Looks very nice to me. Beautiful patina.

V.lats97nsx · 7 September 2014, 09:51 AM

Very nice. And the lugs look good. I say go for it. Asking price? My watch was never polished so heres mine for a reference

Presa canary · 7 September 2014, 10:18 AM

I'm no expert, but that insert is incredible

zapokee · 7 September 2014, 06:24 PM

Thanks for your input guys. The watch is now mine! Will post an incoming thread later once I've calmed down...

No, it's not a roulette wheel. It's the standard white with the serif font.

As far as I can make out, everything on this watch is correct and original. I'm in love...
