llsteve80 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I see people looking for these all the time, so in case nobody is paying attention to ebay, look at item # 170191568352. Aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The topic has been posted here before. I'd like to have a set for one of Tudor frankens if I knew they would fit a 2836-2 ETA movement. I've bought 3 sets of Sub hands off of eBay and haven't got the right ones yet. I was in a pinch and PerfectClones sent me a set that worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageRover Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 of snowflake hands? In the auction stated above, Classic Watch Parts was the seller. They often list them on eBay. As far as I know of, Classic Watch Parts is the only company making (or having them made for them) the "Snow Flake" hands. At least they are the only company I have seen selling them. And they have been selling them for a while now. I don't understand why there are no reasonably priced and obtainable Tudor Submariner reps out there? There was the Watchmaster rep and there is the Vietnamese rep (i.e. Phong), does MBW offer a Tudor rep? Some posts imply that MBW makes a Tudor rep...but if they do (did?) why doesn't anyone who deals with MBW (i.e. TTK) ever offer them? Unless I can obtain a good rep, I've been planning on building my own using a vintage MBW sub as the base. I have seen Tudor Subs with a "blank" (i.e. Rolex Sub style) case back. Not having "Original Oyster Case By Rolex" engraved on the back should not be a reason to assume a Tudor is not gen. In addition to the Tudor Snow Flake hands, Classic Watch Parts offer some other nice parts. They are the only ones (as far as I know off) that offer an original "Bakelite" bezel for the 6542 GMT.

dadog13 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 No, Submariner hands. sorry...I've re-read your post and it clearly says it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I didn't know there was a demand for snowflake Tudor hands. I have a complete set (all 3 hands) of Genuine Tritium vintage snowflake hands...guess I have to dig them out and sell them... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I guess I'll email them sometime and see if they do fit the ETA 2836-2 for sure. If they do, I may get a set of the white ones (they come in white or aged) for my franken Tudor Tiger Sub project. I haven't got very far yet. Ciborgman donated a Sub dial for me to rob the markers off of (thanks). I have a vintage and a modern Sub case that the dial will fit. It may turn out totally stupid looking but I was glad to get this dial so cheap. I like building franken Tudors, most watch guys just look and assume it's a gen....not like the Rolex "is it real" stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Not having "Original Oyster Case By Rolex" engraved on the back should not be a reason to assume a Tudor is not gen. Incorrect. Coming from a former owner of 6 real vintage Tudor Subs (7928, 7016, 9401, 2 9411's and a 79090), if I saw a Tudor Sub without the correct markings on the back (for your model number) let alone the incorrect profile I would assume it was a copy first and real second.
