New Tudor Snowflakes - any feedback?

[J!m1]

Tudor shield clasp would not be correct for a 9411.

but if the links are good I have gen 9315 clasps...

For my 9401 I bought Mary's 7836, still I sometimes see these with a shield diver clasp. I guess it's just whatever a buyer wanted and what was available in a certain year.

If the year is wrong that's a problem.

Edit to say I really don't understand this kind of intricacies, so I really want to hang out and learn about these details.

Yes later Tudors had shield clasp and shield on the crown. Post snowflake hands era.

quick question on these. if i purchase a no date version, will the clone 2824 movement with date wheel still be the same inside (just covered by the no-date dial)?

[MENTION=99235]rwggg9[/MENTION] I have had two now and both had asian 2836 movements

thank you hugop!

That is a looker, even if it is a little blue. Can you provide the link to that model?

Just got my blue one today.
At first I thought oh god it's sooo blue.
But over the past couple of hours and some scotch bright-ng the bezel--after all it's supposed to look beat up so you really can do no wrong--
Iv grown to like this bad boy.
The band may be considered flimsy but it looks good and it's lite as hell.
Bonus not too many people recognize a Tudor.
Well not like a Rolex or Pam or an Omega for that matter.

Just to verify, I have seen here and other places now and there are some Rolie builds on the vintage forum here, these do come with folded bracelets.

Now Mary has told me she can no longer (or maybe not currently) get the BP factory 7836 folded oyster bracelets she was selling next door. Forgetting the clasps for a moment, I want to find out if we can get these JK folded oysters instead.

I am going to ask Mary but to anyone else, if you know something, please weigh in. I am new to this hobby but it's surprisingly difficult to find a folded link oyster bracelet.

You can get the dark blue here...

Took your advice but its the wrong blue - the one in the link is purplish.

@sigfrieds

where did you get your insert from?

 

[Hugop]

Mine is a black insert pullednfrom a jkf 1680 and bleached. Turned that factory looking Tudor blue black!

I bought the date version (9411) from JK fac. I like it a lot but the glare on the cyclops makes the date impossible to read. Any recommendations for crystal and cyclops for these?


Sent from a very nice tin can with a really good string.

Anyone successfully resized the bracelet on one of these? These folded links are a b***h

you are correct- they are hard to get.

you are correct- they are hard to get.

and hard to resize..

 

[Thrasher]

I think it looks great big CGs for shaping and that folded bracelet is cool lookig

 

[kmac]

got mine today, replaced the bezel and the bracelet, now it looks better

What bezel insert did you use?

Vito for a moderate priced dial HR has made theirs nice and the color is much darker. Here is a pic of the 9411 with yellow vintage. The "M" is pretty nice too.

Here is a color comparison to the Yuki.

Hi. I hope it's OK that I bring up this again. Have I understood you correctly in that the Helenarou dial is on top right, and Yuki on bottom left? Is the Helenarou closer to gen color than Yuki?

Yes that is correct. Since then another seller has popped up and his color is even better. You can see it here.

Thanks. Unfortunately it seems like he's sold out, so I don't know if I'll wait and see if new ones are coming up for sale, or if I'll just go for the Helenarou insert. I'm planning a budget snowflake build (details here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/blue-tudor-snowflake-budget-build.375126/ )
