Presentation: Tudor Submariner 7016 Snowflake

[interaktiv]

Hello friends of fine watchmaking,

My Tudor 7016 is now ready and I want to introduce here.
 
I hope you enjoy it!

I have used the following parts:
 

• Cartel Case (completely revised).
• Case-Back Engraving by JMB.
• Athaya 700 Crown and Tube.
• ETA 2451 (the base calibre for the Tudor 2483) with a GEN Tudor assembly and rotor.
• Phong dial and hands (relumet).
• Phong vintage Insert.
• WSO Tropic 19 Plexi.

And now the pictures:

GEN service Plexi are also there, a T19 Dome and a T39 Super Dome. Let's see what was the best fit for my Tudor!

[Nanuq]

I went with a gen T39 Superdome from many years ago on the Frosty Flake. I cut the sidewalls down so it didn't stick up so high and still I bashed it.

Final destination! I have chosen for the T19 and here is the

Great build!  You just need decent aftermarket hands. 

[jmb]

Yeah, the minute hand is a tad long but most folks don't notice...

Yes that's true !

[nick1972]

And the seconds tail a tad to short.

Made a gen / tiger comparison on repgeek.

No, my opinion, the seconds tail has exactly the right length.

See here some Pics from an original 7016.

Don't get me wrong,  it's not my intention to break your watch down. 

With a great build like that, it screams for better hands and it will cost you peanuts. 

The hands from Phong or Yuki are just not good in my eyes. 

Tail from the seconds is circled in red and not close to genuine hands.

oops ... you're right my friend. Thanks for your attention and your explanation 

[Nanuq]

I worked with nick many years ago when I was building my Frosty Flake and I learned about Snowflake hands way back then. There's a very specific set of ratios that make them look "right" and he was kind enough to show me. That's when I learned about long Snowflake tails too.

This photo just happened on its own but it really shows several of the ratios. Too bad it wasn't 3:15:15 when I took it, then you'd see how the arrows and tips reach the tip of the hours index.

Love your Frosty,  Nanuq! Mine says hello

[Nanuq]

Man, that's a nice seconds hand.
