Brothers' watch --- Daytona, "Snowflake" Sub, Hydronaut II

I have not been online much this past month thanks to the World Cup and
travel/visiting family. During my travels, I had a chance to have a good look
and take pics of some watches belonging to my brothers and thought I'd share
them here. Both the Daytona and Snowflake had belonged to my father, who
prefers to wear Seikos these days.


Here's my brothers vintage Daytona



And heres my other brother's Tudor Sub. The Nato strap was my 'visit gift'. Looks like
it matches the patina really well!



He bought a Hydronaut II while I was visiting



I went with him, and the AD generously loaded me up with some Tudor catalogs
- which I had used as background in some of the pics above.

The Hydronaut II looks pretty good too.

The Tudor Sub looks killer on that nato.

Still learning about Tudor divers...I didn't know that the hydronaut II had a conservative look like the one you posted (thought they were all more "radical" designs")! Great pics and thanks for giving me some new info!

That snowflake Tudor is a winner and the strap is perfect.
This should be on the vintage forum

Yes, it really matches well. He was wearing it when we were at a Rolex/Tudor AD to buy that Hydronaut, and it got a lot of notice/compliments.

I don't really know the history - but I think its from the 1970s. My father is not a watch WIS, but he did end up with some rather excellent pieces.
