This is a watch that a forum member put together using various rep/aftermarket parts and a Swiss ETA, it was recently given an Extreme Makeover.
How it looked before:
The case was reshaped, polished and brushed. A genuine Tudor dial installed, a NOS ETA calendar wheel, new hands lumed to match the dial, and a new crystal, a faded Rolex insert installed for the pics.
The Tudor Submariners ref' 9104/0, and 9411/0 were produced from 1975 to around 1980.
The Snowflake Submariners featured square hour markers and a unique hand style that distinguished them from other watches.
Tudor Snowflake Submariners, like other the Submariners produced by the brand, were supplied to the Marine Nationale French Navy, which became a testing bed for Tudor’s Submariner line.
These 'second-generation' Tudor Submariners marked the watchmaker’s transition from caliber 390 created created by Parmigiani Fleurier SA (Fleurier), to movements produced by Swiss watchmaker, ETA SA Manufacturer Horlogère Suisse.
Tudor Snowflake Submariners ref' 9401/0 and 9411/0 both were available in black and blue dial variants - one model (9411/0) had a date function while the other did not.
Tudor started producing these models in 1975, however it's unclear what year Tudor stopped producing them - it's believed to be sometime around 1980.
Thanks for looking !
