One thing to watch for, 7016 and 7022 dials tend to flake and come apart. This was addressed with the 9401 and 9411.

That said. I prefer the 7016 because you're more likely to find "retro" parts...

Bingo, there it is. Well spotted.

Check the S in SUBMARINER. It should look more like a flipped Z with pointy corners. This is a newer dial.

Can't beat a Tibetan Terrier. We have one and she's been a great addition, plus she loves the snow!

Here's out my front window, that's Mt. McKinley 250 miles away.

Hey Mike, are you happy?

If so... Snow White wants to know where you've been!

:-)

The idea, I think, is that we own our watches and not the other way round. Get nice ones, keep them serviced, and use them. This one's been on the bottom of every sea and ocean for decades.

This one.... my daily driver.

Alright, who can name the muscle cars with those displacements, in order?

Here are some older 702 and 703 Rolex crowns that are "wrapped" with stainless steel. The newest 704 "monobloc" crowns are solid stainless steel. This could easily explain the corrosion in the...

A Triplock 703 crown is, I believe, still made of brass with a stainless "wrap". The newer monobloc 704 crowns are solid stainless steel. This older SD would have the 703 crown.

You want a tropic 19 for your Tudor. The one in the last picture is the "service replacement" t-19 commonly available.

You can also use a tropic 39 but its dome will be very high. I did this, and...

I've lived in Alaska all my life and have exposed my watches to many nights camping out to -40F with no problems. Seadwellers seem to do just fine in the snow:

I'm wearing a Tudor Snowflake today that's so loose it wants to spin around my wrist. It fits just right in the summer. Looks like you're right.

Thank you sir! Here's a better photo for you.

Get some Marmot Randonee gloves. Spectacular.

I guess these are my favorites, an early 1675 with a "radial" dial, an old MkII Seadweller, and my trusty 6536 Sub.

My job used to be on the arctic coast and we were required to carry written permission to work outside when it was below -40F ambient. After awhile you get used to those temps and don't really...

Yes it's been a bit chilly here too, this is a Fahrenheit reading. *grin*

Just back from a walk in the woods, alpenglow and an old Sub are a nice combination.

As busy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Happy as a clam at high tide.

Busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Fine as frog hair.

Pleased as a pig in an...

This is a realm where extra caution is advised. I recently bought a 1963 Land Rover S2a and made the mistake of calling it the "Old Girl" and my "Antique".

Woe be to me when SWMBO remided me that...

The best part about a Sea Dweller is, they just get better with age.

Something else to keep in mind as you search, your Tudor and the others listed should use an insert with the acrylic "pearl" with no metal surround. When you find a nice slate colored insert with...

If I'm seeing the advertizement correctly, it's the little boy holding the pocket watch.
