[NKflyer]

This ad supersedes all previous ads for this watch. Watch has been detailed and all new photos taken 10/12/2013.

For Sale:
Vintage Tudor by Rolex 79180 "Big Block" Chronograph. Silver "panda" dial with black subdials. Serial number B446xxx dates this piece to approx 1992.

Condition
Watch has been previously polished and is in "excellent" condition. I would rate 90% per the TimeZone guidelines with just some light scratches throughout. Bezel has evidence of some deeper scratches removed at one time.

Bracelet is a Tudor 78360 w/589 endlinks and is very tight. All 13 links are present to comfortably fit up to a 7.50" wrist. Although this is not a certified chronometer, I timed it against the atomic clock and watch is running within COSC specs at -1 second per 24 hours. Chronograph function starts, stops, and resets as it should.

Accessories:
Watch only. No box and no papers. The modern "wave" box that is visible in some of the photos is just a prop and is not included.

Price & Terms:
$3500 or best reasonable offer. Shipping is negotiable. Bank wire preferred but paypal will be considered if buyer is reputable and agrees to pay the 3% fee. May entertain modern Rolex trades up or down in price.

As far as references, I have completed many transactions with forum members and have received numerous positive feedback posts which can be found by searching for my username in the "who's who" section of the forum.

I would prefer not to accept returns unless this watch is significantly not as described so please view pics very carefully and ask any questions you might have before committing to purchase. Private message is the best way to contact me. Thanks!
