Pre-owned Tudor Tigers cost between $2200 $2800. SS Daytonas cost $85 to $9500 pre-owned. This assumes they are complete packages.

The big block Tudor chronos cost $4000 on up, depending what circa it is, condition and original accessories.

Out of interest Dan do you know what modifications Rolex do to the 7750?

Cheers,

All this talk and pictures of Tudor chronos has made me love mine even more, wore it today and could not stop looking at. The knowledge and friendliness on this forum is great.

Congrats, those silver dials are stunning. Please take some pics so we can see more.
Good luck on the Big Block search.

Yes, give us some more pictures! That dial goes VERY well with the polished lugs and the Prince bracelet. It is a great combination.

Tudors are fantastic. If going for a chrono, my only advice is to avoid black dialed versions. I had one & found it difficult to tell the time.

My favourite is the cotes de geneve dial. The numbers are raised & give an amazing 3D effect along with the detail on the dial, you'll never get sick of it.

The Tiger models aren't as sought after & I don't know if Mr Woods latest shenanigans have incresed or decreased the value of these models.

I've been tracking Tudor Tiger prices lately and they are going up after the statement he made on Friday. Around $3200+

Not sure of the impact of Friday's statement from Tiger but with the earlier Tudor chronos continuing to rise it will have a positive affect of the later models as well.

I think these old Tudors are about the coolest watches going!

I'd rather an old Tudor than just about anything else.....

Love the Panda dial, RLX-lvr, your's is very nice.

I equally like the flip of the panda colours.

I don't think i'd like a Tudor with "Tiger" on the dial.

Now they're not sold in as many markets i think they have the edge on Rolex on the class front. Anyone can go and buy a Rolex at Thousands of AD's but it takes an effort to go and find a Tudor.
