Your Opinion: Tudor Big Blocks?
What are your thoughts on "the best" Tudor Big Blocks for appearance -- the 79180 or the 79170? How about for collectability and value?

Imho, the 79170, or earlier Monte Carlo, w/ a rotating bezel are by far the best version. Not sure of the production numbers but I've read the rotating bezel is the rarest. It also adds so much functionality as well. The silver dial w/ black subs or black dial w/ white subs [like mine] are my favorites. The Big Block case was the biggest Rolex Oyster made till the DSSD. These were also the last of the plex crystal Tudor chronos.
Highly recommended.  dP

Love Them! Had one, sold it and still regret it.
