So as it happens, Tudor Subs never really were on my radar till last week when I met a WIS, and saw a nice Tudor Sub with snowflake hands and I went "Damn, nice watch...". He was telling me that it's hard to get a genuine Tudor snowflake and to beware of frankens and fakes.

So this 94010 pops up for sale :


Serial no. is a 94xxxx, and I've confirmed the case says 94010. The seller did disclose that he replaced the crown but with a correct Rolex crown (according to him).

So I was wondering:
1. Is the replacement crown correct? Based on what I've seen, it seems superficially correct, but for all I know I'm comparing a franken against another franken!
2. I was initially concerned that the caseback said '9411' when the watch is a 94010 but according to this WUS post, that is still legit... is that true? Or this it a replacement caseback?
3. Is the 'fat font' bezel correct? Seems a bit odd, I can't find many other 94010s with the fat font on google,and I suspect it's a replacement?
4. Any other red flags?

As always, I have faith that the wealth of knowledge on this forum will guide me - thanks in advance guys!

It IS a beauty to behold.

I know nothing about these, except that the dial markers and hands appear to be identical to the ones on the Tudor Pelagos, a watch I've lusted after for many months now, and hope to acquire someday...

I'm sure someone will chime in with some answers shortly...

Ah well, as turned out this one sold in a flash while I was still doing my research and due diligence. Such is life.

I was deliberating (too many watches, need to trim the collection *blah blah blah*) whether to pull the trigger on the same piece but you solved my dilemma!
I do not have any answers for your queries but I take a lot of comfort from the watch being advertised/sold through that particular forum.
From what I have observed, their members are especially vigilant and particular, and will not hesitate to call out if anything is wrong with it.
I have purchased 2-3 pieces from the same vendor before, and all were authenticated by RSC, Singapore.

Thanks Chye & Adam for the info. Adam's reference website proved helpful, and Chye your reassurance as to the seller is good for me as a Tudor noob too. Will do my due D and look out for further Snowflakes from this seller and others 😉
