It looks lovely. Apart from that horrible, pendulous, snowflake hour hand. It's crying out for a bit of modding.
Have read so many comments like this about the hands, as well as the bracelet rivets - I don’t understand the hate. For me they’re huge plus points - absolutely love both design features. BS62 said:

Love the hands, but I confess the rivet bracelet is a big turn-off. Could probably live with it, but would far prefer a 'normal' bracelet!

Had it not been for comments like yours I'd never known mine has rivets as 99.9999999% of the time when it's on my wrist I can't see them. To me it's a bit like saying, I love the watch but the box it came with is minging. I'm not going to get one.DBRacingGod said:
I had a Rolex Sub and got rid of it because I got fed up of the heinous-looking Mercedes hands (well, that and the poor timekeeping and maddening servicing costs), but I love the snowflake. If I found a spare £8k for a snowflake Tudor Sub I’d be all over it.
I have a tudor Sub that I bought from auction some 10 or so years ago. Didn’t think they were going for £8k now...?

I know it's a contentious point for many, but I've always liked the snowflake hand - it adds interesting character that clearly demarcates Tudor, enhances legibility and is driven by a real-world historical purpose.

That was quick!! Nice work
So. When are you ordering the leather and nato straps as well?
Tell me about it! 2 weeks all in! So. When are you ordering the leather and nato straps as well?
Haha, I do want them, however was quoted £600 for the leather strap (and buckle) and can't seem to find any reference pricing or stockists online so for now I'll enjoy the bracelet which I really like and think fits the character (and weight) of the watch really well!
Thanks again and hope you're still enjoying yours
