Icon5 Advice on Tudor Snowflake Sub 94010 - Legit?

Hi, new to this forum, and I hope to tap your collective wisdom on this Tudor Sub.





The seller has mentioned the crown has been changed to a new one.

It's sold head only, and I was wondering if it was all legit? Also, is the bezel correct? To my untrained eye it seems ok, but as a noob I might be missing something. Any advice welcome, thanks!

You need photos between the lugs.

The edges of the bezel look narrower and sharper than on my 74ish Snowflake.

Photo is from Derek - from VRF. Derek is not G-Comex, right?

These pics are Derek's from VRM...

Please make sure you are dealing with the right seller. A scammer has been using Derek's pics on other forums and actually took somebody for $3k last month.

For the record, Derek is 100% - but make sure you are dealing with the correct seller.

That's Derek/fatderek - good guy and I actually just bought a tudor sub from him a couple weeks back. If you have genuine questions or concerns I would ask him and he'll be straight with you - I've found his ads to be pretty straightforward. Not many sellers go through as many Tudors as him, so he knows his stuff.

Yes, narrower and sharper than on my 76ish too. Otherwise looks really good!

X2...I bought my snowflake sub from Derek...he is 100%! Just make sure those are his and someone hasn't used them under different name.

Odd that the OP hasn't responded at all since posting these pics.
