Tudor “Blue 9411/0 Snowflake” Submariner

Description

Up for grabs is a Tudor “Snowflake” Submariner, circa 1976 (84xxxx), reference 9411/0.  Tudor is better known as the “sister” brand to Rolex – originally formed as a more affordable alternative to that of a Rolex.  In recent years, Tudor has exploded in popularity amongst collectors, with prices often eclipsing those of their Rolex counterparts.  This example is a highly sought-after “Snowflake” Submariner, so-called for the snowflake-like appearance of the hour hand, and with a desirable blue dial and bezel combination.

This Tudor Submariner is in great vintage condition.  The case appears unpolished and strong, with beautiful original beveled edges, remaining sharp. The dial is in excellent condition, with no major flaws visible.  The original tritium lume is present in both hands and dial, aged to a lovely yellow color. The original bezel insert is in good condition, aged with a beautiful light fade to the blue color.

Finally, the watch comes on a Tudor folded-link 9315/380 bracelet, and has 11 full links with light stretch.
