Hans...its true
that these MN are not easy to find...but they do come up. You should ask a couple of people to keep an eye out for one. The trouble is, there are many out there that are in bad condition....faked...without decom papers etc etc. Finding a proper MN isnt that easy, but they are out there. The coolest watch in the world...no question...its this one...
Some pictures of the " Black Pearl ".
It sounds like the name of a Pirat's Ship, and, in a certain way, it is. When we mention the Tudor Marine Nationale name, we immediately have in mind the blue diamond or mercedes dials, and almost never the black snowflakes dial. There is a certain logic ...
Great pictures og the pirat..Jack Sparrow..
Great pictures my friend, really a nice snowflake. I find the rough looks suits the watch perfectly Actually, the bezel looks almost blue on the picture..? Cheers Hans
Between Grey and Black....
The bezel faded to a nice grey, but with the light of the flash...It comes a bit blue. I love a lot this " dirty " dial, which nicely matches with the " philosophy " of the watch, too. A great " Bad Boy ". Thanks for your input! Best, Nicolas
Its just amazing where you find all...
...these nice and rare pieces my friend.. You must have good contact and a lot of luck with you. But one day will I (I hope ) also find a seed Cheers Hans
Some good friends, collectors, and dealers...
All is a matter of patience and luck, my friend. Best. Nicolas
I am normally very patient...
...with my staff, collegues, family and friends.... but NOT when we talk about watches....! .....come to me my precious.... come, come.... ! Cheers Hans
...You are 100% right...
...my friend, but where do I find one..! Have to say, I am still kind of "new" to vintage (except on Omega) but where do i find them!! HELP...! On the other hand, what do you see as the coolest watch of them all...!? Cheers Hans

I thought so...
... also one of my favorites, though I might never get lucky to own one :-( I have a much younger brother... but would prefer the vintage (here a picture from my Birthday last week, where i did not get any watch present at all Cheers P.S. Please keep an e...
Will also keep an eye for you, my friend, as these Beauties
Are spotting from time to time, here in France. Best! Nicolas
Thank you once again
Thank you Nicolas, once again, for a very inspirational post. So much so that reading it I too was suddenly taken by the urge of rushing out and getting one these iconic watches You couldn't be more spot on with your description of the rough, 'volcanic' b...
Can you post a picture of the case back?
Is your M.N a 7016/0? Does it have a flat case back, like on mine? Have a look at Dr Strong's review on the Tudor M.N, my friend ( Go to New Blog Post on the right part of your screen and see the link to Tudor M.N ). I did some searches, and had the confi...
Thanks
Mine appears to be a ref. 94010 from 79. I will send you a picture of both back, lugside and decom-paper via pm this evening.
So it can work, even if the dial is questionnable...
But it may have been changed while the watch was serviced. Best, Nicolas
My pleasure, Steven.
For once, it is my turn to show something interesting! Best, Nicolas
The devil is at it again....
Why do you show us these beauties where it's almost impossible for anyone else to find one? The torture continues.......... Best Fernando
Let's take a bet with the Devil, Fernando.
I bet that if you hunt one, you'll get it before the end of the year, with the blue dial. For the black dial, it is a bit more complicated, but with patience, nothing is impossible. Best, 666.
