Tudor Snowflake - What is this case? (pic heavy)

Recommended Posts

Hey RWGeeks!

So a few years ago now, my father and i got burned on some japanese auction sites and we received what we thought was a 7928 Tudor Sub. Instead it was a franken watch with a 9411/0 case set and real 2824 movement (longines or something not tudor, doesn't have the KIF shock protection).

 

The current spec is: Gen 2784, gen dial, gen crown, clark crystal, yuki hands (tiger concept hands on the way), clark tube, unknown bezel assembly + retaining ring.

 

So I've been going under the assumption that the case is a replica case, i mean why would you put a real 9411 case with franken parts + rep dial (i have been wrong before)? 

 

The case has:

- Proper engravings: 78xxxx serial number (roughly 1972), the 9411/0 engraving too

- 2mm lug holes

- Decent shape - maybe you can help me out with this one. 

- Caseback looks decent but has C.R.S instead of 9411 on the inside.

- Unknown bezel assembly too

- Fits 26mm dial

Please let me know if you have any ideas on the case. Does the rehaut look too 'wokky'/angled?

 

Thanks in advance guys!!!

The case is good. The lugs a bit tall and fat, but it's very nice. I would guess a Phong or MQ or other Vietnam-based case. 

Good to hear. The only think that bugs me is that the rehaut seems to be a bit too angled when comparing to Gen watches. Would you recommend re-shaping the lugs or is it not too much of an issue?

Rehauts are tricky. Yours does look steep at some angles and normal at others. 

 

As as far as reshaping. The question really is, is it important to you and is it worth it to you? I would personally address replacing the bezel insert first. 

Perfect. Thanks for your help so far jig, just purchased a gen insert off a member from RWG from your advice yesterday.
