ubiquitous Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share 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!

By-Tor Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Snowflake is indeed quite amazing. Based on the coronet that is either gen or WM9 clasp, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavidoc Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share 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.

polexpete Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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..
