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. |

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!

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.
