I just hate the ' snowflake ' hand on Tudor watches.

I know I know, some people will disagree, but I just can't stand that " constipated " looking hour hand.

Dont hate the watch or brand but it just doesn't look right to me.

Anyone else think the same or am I just f***ed in the head ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm the same. I also don't like Mercedes hands.

ยท

Completely agree with you. If it werenโ€™t for the hands, Iโ€™d already have one of these haha

ยท

It is what is stopping me from purchasing a BB58

Still couldn't afford one but it would be so much better

I used to hate it too, but it grew on me after seeing it in person. Now I would much prefer other hands, but Tudor made a pretty good job making their watches look off without them

Fair enough. I've seen it in person and hate it even more๐Ÿ˜…

I donโ€™t mind it at allโ€ฆ some folks hate them like you do and some folks love them like I doโ€ฆ thatโ€™s why we have options โ€ฆ itโ€™s their signature hand setโ€ฆ all good โ€ฆ

Iโ€™m also not a fan of citizen divers but you donโ€™t see me posting and encouraging others to hate it as wellโ€ฆ

Jmo. That's all..I'm saying I hate them. If others do or don't that's their own opinion

I love snowflake hands and hate Mercedes hands. To each their own.

I used to dislike the Tudor hands, but the newer, heavier design on the blue Pelagos really does appeal to me (to my genuine surprise).

I really do dislike the Mercedes hands and I am put off by some Grand Seiko hands as well. Lorier hands give me the shivers for some reason, which is irksome because I often like their dial designs.

Itโ€™s all so subjective.

I never really noticed it before until seeing a lot of posts about it. Now that Iโ€™m more aware of it now I understand. Does look a bit odd in comparison to the minute hand.

ยท

I like the handset, but it really should be with the OG square indices, in my view...

ยท

I'm with you

ยท

You are not alone.

ยท

easy fix, buy the BB and mod out the hour hand. True Patina from IG has the best example for the BB54.

ยท

The most distinctive hand in the bizโ€ฆmore more more!

ยท

Doesnโ€™t bother me at all. In fact I think it defines their brand

ยท

Itโ€™s the reason I run sword hands whenever I can.

ยท

Donโ€™t hate them but definitely prefer many other hour hand shapes. I also find them to be less clumsy looking when they are outlined in a slightly contrasting color as opposed to solid.

Perfect response. The snowflake hand argument is a dead horse. Tudor is never going to change it. Take an interest in other brands, and focus on what you love instead. It's a much better use of everybody's energy.

ยท

The hour hand pretty much disqualifies Tudor for me, which is a shame because I quite like most of the rest of what they do. Brains are weird, but they are what they are.

ยท

Love the hands, hate the awful clashing round indices - should have square ones , like the Pelegos!!

I'd say the snowflake hands are my favourite feature of Tudor..

Do hate Mercedes hands tho.

Stop being such a โ„๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I love it ๐Ÿ˜€

I really disliked it at first, now I absolutely love it๐Ÿ˜

I was quite looking forward to adding to this interesting threat. No Ed your not alone, many people, myself included, dislike them. If you like them or have one then good for you, wear it well.

I believe Tudor have copyrighted everything to do with snowflake. Fair enough for them. Image your a designer at Tudor going into the boss......"hey boss I have a great idea for....."Stop there and leave the hands alone!"

Hate is probably the wrong word, in the truest sense there is not many things or people I hate in life (bone cancer in children is one though). I would say boring, insipid, unimaginative. I could go on. This will displease people who have or like the watch, sorry about that just my opinion.

I also do not think that saying you dislike or "hate"something is encouraging people to hate. Lots of watches on here, some I love, like, dislike, loath and Meh. I had to check the gps coordinates on my phone to check I wasn't in North Korea ๐Ÿ˜‚. I think most people can take a bit of criticism (about their watch), but not all. As said many times we are all different and expressing an opinion is fine with me.
