1980s (?) Tudor Sub with Blue Dial, Mercedes hand which was changed during a service...How hard is it to find correct Snowflake Hands? I have not examined the watch off its bracelet.

I would say it would require a lot of time and patience to acquire the correct hand set and matching patina.

This dial, insert, and case looks great. You could always find a donor watch and swap the parts.

But I would save yourself the headache and wait it out for the right watch. Snowflakes come to market fairly regularly.

If I get it I'll look for a hands set...Here are a couple others currently in my collection.

I like it, I'm looking for hands as well. Just picked up a second snowflake and the hour hand is awful. Maybe we can get a group discount ;)
