1962 Tudor Submariner w/ Snowflake Dial

[Jaydizzle]

Hey guys, I just joined the forum. I Inherited a super vintage Tudor from my great grandfather after he passed away it was in rough shape when I received it. The crystal was super beat up and the strap was broken. I took it to my local lee micheals jewelry store spoke to a super awesome watch maker who told me it needed to be oiled, needed new seals and need to replace the crystal because it didn't hold pressure. I was on another forum and was told to kee the original crystal. I originally wanted to but ended up replacing it with another oem Rolex crystal (I kept the original). Anywho here are some pics. Please any feed back is awesome. I have the original strap but it's broken and I'm having a hard time finding the small part so I just got a leather fossil band.

i'm sure it's a bit later than 62, rolex and tudor SN charts don't interchange. beautiful watch though.

Looks nice, not a 62 but probably a mid to late 70s. What's the model number between the lugs? Need better pics but it looks like you have a nice Snowflake.

Very attractive Tudor' & is nice snowflake. Have bracelet rebuilt by Michael Young in Hong Kong if poor shape or source another on this forum.

Hi and welcome - nice watch form your grandfather. Best to replace the crystal with the service, so that was the right thing to do. As others have said - probably around mid-70s. If so, serial would be around 84XXXX-ish. If it has a red/black (roulette) date-wheel, it would be earlier (late 60s). Check model ref. no. and serial no. - both found between lugs.

Very nice snowflake from your great grandfather. Enjoy it and welcome!

OK, great, that puts it around 1969 - so does it have the roulette date-wheel?

[Jaydizzle]

Yes even dates it's red odd its black.

[Vincent65]

Excellent - many congrats. We'd love to see some more photos of it.

If you have the original oyster bracelet, you can have it refurbished by Michael Young's company in Hong Kong. Do a search here for details/examples/feedback. They'll get it back to almost good as new.

Beauty - good luck getting it back.

[Jaydizzle]

I can't seem to change the time to go backwards lol, I guess I have to start the cycle over?

Wonderful snowflake, I would prefer it on a NATO as well, or maybe distressed leather. Enjoy it!

Nice watch! Great pic! Congrats and wear her in good health.

I love the snowflake. It is my favorite out of my 6 watch collection. Even though it's cost is a third of some that I owe. It still brings me great satisfaction every time I wear it. The best part about the snowflake is that you will never find 2 alike. Cheers:)

Great 7021! Congrats and enjoy

Very nice Snowflake! I'm still kicking myself for seeing a likely unpolished 7021 with fantastic patina for sale and deciding to wait until the next morning to contact the seller. Of course it was sold by the time I woke up.

[Jaydizzle]

I'll sell you mine! ;)
