Looking at 1974 Subs. Anything to look for, esp Tudor

Looking at birth year 1974 Submariners, especially Tudor ( Price and more exclusive driven )
Anything to look out for?

Great reply, thanks Andrew. Much to research.
I don't fuss after a date too much, and do like the snowflake.
In terms of the military ones, would it be preferable to search abroad too?

How about this - ok you'd want the correct year (only 3 out) but its a start

There is one on Ebay, a 1973, with a £1825 or best offer, but it needs to be a 74

Thread update. ( Yes, it has taken this long to find a 1974! )
Bought from ebay, showing a nato strap, suggesting a bracelet but that was it. Everything checked out, and it was sent to an AD for verification and valuation. The only non standard part seems to be the crown, which is now a triplock crown, and the pearl is missing. The watch head is a 7016 and the strap a 9135 folded, diver extension and 380 end links. This was slightly warn and too long. I sent it to Michael Young, the genius, in Hong Kong who sized it and polished it sparingly. I bought a leather strap and can't decide between the two.
