This DeborahV612 is peddling now 3 seperate Black Tudor Snowflakes that are questionable at best. Since I've been studying these for my own build I saw the seller's and they're absolutely sketchy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUDOR-SNOWF...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Hands are wrong on this one. Minute hand too fat and long and diamond of seconds hand is floating over the smaller hour markers. Caseback is "CRS" caseback which is fairly suspect since hands are wrong. No way Rolex would've slapped in those hands. Wrong movement, 2461 ETA.

This one even more obvious with 2824-2. Movement doesn't even have Tudor engravings on the bridges, just the rotor is engraved. Again minute hand too fat and diamond of seconds hand running over the smaller square hour markers.

Can't see details enough on caseback to make out engravings.

This last one is still for sale right now. At least it has the correct claimed movement of 2784 but no bridge engravings noted. Wrong hands as above.

All 3 of these pieces likely have Yuki dials and rotors. Possibly yuki hands as well but yuki's are actually better than this.

I did too. "My late father..." *blah blah blah*- yeah he happened to have 3 identical dodgy looking Tudors lying around without bracelets. Then again, always possible he collected reps and they never knew :lol:

yah, they were all frankens with yuki tudor rotors.

I sent then received these comms from the seller.

me said:
This snowflake as well as your others have very strange looking hands. Are they aftermarket? How about the Caseback? Do you have any higher quality photos? Has this piece ever been serviced by Tudor or Rolex? Any boxes or papers or records?

your observations have been noted
this watch, along with all the others were owned by my late father.
He passed one year ago, then we had access to his safe deposit box
I'm selling them with permission from his wife
We have no service records or papers
I had an independent watchmaker service the watches, he assured me that case dial, and movement are indeed Tudor
I'm selling watch as is... Do not bid if you think there might be problems later for you.
The photos must be your guide
thanks
