Added a Tudor Big Block 79180 Full Set To The Stable
I just picked up this all original one owner and unpolished Tudor Big Block 79180 Full Set. I just had to add a black dial version of the Big Block after picking up a beautiful 94210 with the silver dial and black subdials a couple weeks ago. The black bezel on these early Big Blocks are just too good to resist. Not a Daytona but certainly a good backup. I think my "Tudor Itch" is sufficiently scratched now

That's the one I want!
It's a 79170 though right?

Lol...true story. Actually I have had my eye on all of these recent acquisitions for quite a while and am just "pulling the trigger" now. My goal is to purchase solid examples of desirable RolexTudor Sports references that are not likely to ever lose value AND lend themselves to actually being worn regularly...no safe queens for me.
One more new acquisition to reveal later this week Quote:

I have two BBs and wear them much more than my SS Daytona. IMO they look just as good, maybe better, and have the added date complication. I'm wearing the 79180 now and the 79170 is currently being serviced by Rikki.
