ubiquitous Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I know he's hanging out somewhere! I'd love to see some macros of that Snowflake! So, in order to get him going, I'll post a few to get us started. If any other Tudor owners want to jump in, I'd appreciate it! And how about some bracelet wear! Check out how slotted those links are Your turn, Lani!
By-Tor Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Snowflake is indeed quite amazing. Based on the coronet that is either gen or WM9 clasp, right?
ubiquitous Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Posted June 1, 2009 Good eyes. The bracelet is a gen mish-mash- -Gen 580 ends -Gen 78360 links -Gen 93150 clasp Well beaten... Heavily worn.
stilty Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I don't know about Lani, but it is getting me motivated! And that is the last thing I need right now! Another project to become obsessed with!
robertk Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 Here's another Tudor project.......done by Tudor. Not as Unique as that one, but original.
lanikai Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh.... I was jus about to turn in... . . . Hard to keep a low profile with Ubi's 9411 and I now proudly wear it's twin.. same "born on date" . . . and I recieved my gen 78360 bracelet.. but I am truly lovin the Ubi franken 9411 on black G-10.. the contrast is just soooo sexy.. . . and my new macro 105 mm lens has not been cristened yet.. . BUT... time... ahhhh.. the elusive enemy of us all ... it's great to see your images keep getting more awesome Ubi.... the only way to improve is to train with people whose skills are better than your own.. .. so posting next to you will be an honour and a challenge !! . . so between my business.. the photo contest .. training.. and helping the young guns at the gym during the summer.. . I haven't had the hours to set up for any macs.. . . I will get some macros up, and with the anchor and vintage box.. from Colorado !! . . but for tonight.. ahhh sleeeeeep A~C Lani

The case is a weirdy...some of us that bought from Girards are saying it's a Phong one... Who knows It also came with the correct genuine mvt (Eta) Come on Lani, we wait for you
Nanuq Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 Man, I can never get enough Snowflakes! Magnificent!
gavidoc Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I'll chip in. All gens that I have owned over the past 4 years (and own 2 still). . My first. The one that started it all. 9411 blue dial. Serviced at RSC Australia My 2nd. 7928 My 3rd: 9411 black Group shot: My 4th: 9401 black from original owner: My 5th: 7016 from original owner. Few years back I ran into some financial issues nad had to sell them all. Of course before the prices skyrocketed over the last 2 years. After things settled, I always wanted to try and get another blue like my first one. Same glossy service dial and all. I offered to buy back my original Blue when it went on sale on ebay for a lot more hten it sold for last year but the seller refused. So I settled for this: My 6th: 9411 original blue that I sold after 4 days since it wasn't speaking to me the way my original Blue did. It seemed like an imposter. And finally my 7th and last. I searched high and low and found her. The twin of my very first love: 9411 blue just serviced at the RSC Australia with the EXACT same service as my original one. I did an even trade of a gen Exp II for it. And of course, gotta throw into the mix Blue's more famous cousin: Still got her original matte dial and hands too. So get with the program Lani.

Nanuq Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 timing is everything Nanuq... this hit me as being totaly hillarious.. seeing where you reside.. We've got to be careful who we're calling "flakes" anymore, seeing as they're getting organized...
dluddy Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 Not a snowflake (yest) but here is my 7016/0 Just happen to be wearing it today:
lanikai Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 We've got to be careful who we're calling "flakes" anymore, seeing as they're getting organized... .. Jesseeeee....... what an opportunist.. he'll hang with any group just to make the news.. @gavidoc.. that blue dial sure is sweeet !! I shoulda bid on the dial and hands when they were availble.. I'm still kicking maslef for that one.. @Duddly .... those pointed CG's are lookin good !! the gilt dial is just mesmarizing..
lanikai Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 My Tudor 9411 Ubifranken Thanks for viewing A~C Lani
polexpete Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Pete and RobK- NICE gens!! Hey Ubi, thanks my man but it ain't no gen its a Franken The minute hand is too fat but it matches the dial so well i dun wanna change it. My gen is still with Micheal Young in Hong Kong, i've forgotten what it looks like Lani, gotta love that 105macro. Awesome pics and an awesome watch. Great stuff! Cheers P.
lanikai Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 I was able to source a gen bracelet.. this pic is not the genuine.. but I am lovin the G-10 so much.. I have a feeling that the Patina will accelerate .. I don't know if it's my imagination but in lower light it seems like it's aging already.. since the dial is a genuine original.. I'm wondering if exposure to UV and oxygen will accelerate the aging.. if the patina does quicken.. then I think the bracelet will do well..
Stephane Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Beautifull photos Lani. Thanks for taking the time! I love your watch.
ubiquitous Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Posted June 3, 2009 Gorgeous pics, Lani! You're making me want to go and re-shoot mine now! PP- Now that you mention it, I do see that the hands are an aft set; CWP? I was so consumed by the dial on yours that I didn't even notice it
lanikai Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Thank you Ubi.. for this thread.. it's been awhile since I played with the mcro lens.. but this piece is really fun to get into.. Lot's of beauties here.. glad I was able to participate... A~C Lani
