I love the fact that Tudor Subs from the early 90's are like Rolex Submariners from the 70's and 80's. Definitely a lot of vintage (or neo-vintage) bang for your buck if you ask me. Here is my 1993 Tudor Sub. It's the black version but the bezel has faded to a beautiful blue.

Additionally, I won't speak for "rareness" but when it comes to the collectability of these references, I know the price has roughly doubled over the last couple of years and would not surprise me one bit if that trend continued.

Tudor Sub with snowflake hands. That's the winner in my book. Wish it was still around.

Just because something is rare, it doesn't mean it's worth a lot of money. I learned that by watching Pawn Stars.

Nice watch though! Wear it in great health!

Nice!

I left it at my watchmaker's place right before the Covid virus state wide shutdown happened and he is still working on it because there is a backlog of other watches and clocks for him to work on (he shut down for a couple of months).

This watch seems to have ran well but was well worn, The watchmaker is only going to service the watch and replace the crystal, seals, crown tube and crown (He has the crown tube and crown in stock). He is not going to touch the rest of it.
Spectacular find - well done!

Scarcity and value can be correlated. But correlation does not imply causation. Just because something is scarce does not make it valuable.

Collectible or not, the Tudor Sub is a beauty.

How is this even a question? Of course they are collectible. For every twenty full set 1680s kicking around, I imagine you would have one 94110... And accordingly that single 94110 would command a very good price.

Nice find! Redial? That shield logo looks vere thin to me. Maybe it´s just the low quality of the pic playing tricks?
