All original Tudor snowflake story...
I dropped off my wife's watch for repair today. I started a conversation with the guy in front of me. He had his all original Tudor snowflake with him.
Interesting guy, he said the watch was assigned to him in 1985 through his navy seal CO. He received it in 1985, and he has worn it all over the world, and now he takes it in the water weekly- Never serviced, and it keeps perfect time. He asked me what it was worth, when I told what the all original snowflakes sell for these days he was in shock. As I suspected, Tudors are very durable...!

A Seal eh? the best of the best, if watches could talk.......
Would definitely be a great TV commercial idea for Tudor, if they could find that guy!
