Tudor snowflake just in: service advice
I'm not an active poster here, I post more on some other fora. Today i received a Tudor Snowflake and I'm looking for more expert advice on what parts to service so I decided to post here and will appreciate any help or suggestions. Before it arrived I had plans to have it fully restored but now that I have it I am no longer sure. I want to keep what is vintage as much as possible. For some areas below I am uncertain if they are the originals or service parts so I'd like to get to know more on what exactly has arrived.
I haven't taken the bracelet of yet, don't want to haste that and damage it. I am unsure about the hands perhaps having been relumed. The color doesnt completely match the dial so initially I wanted to have them relumed but I don't want to touch old tritium if it is still Tritium. The lume on the hands looks more shiny, does this mean it has already been relumed once? On my 79090 the lume looks completely unshiny. Second area I am looking at is the insert. Also initially I wanted to replace it as it has aged to a very matte look and shows some wear. Under a Macro the fonts look less refined than on (again) my 79090. However I am not sure if this is an age thing or perhaps a sign of already an aftermarket insert? pip Lastly the plexi. from a sideview halfway up it angles to the watch center. I know nothing of these plexi's - is this an original or original service replacement? would either need a polish or a replacement some more pics. It came on a Rolex 93150 bracelet with 585 endlinks. |
