Up for sale is my Tudor Big Block Chrono 79160

I have never seen another White on black panda for sale (most are silver with black subs), so this is quite a unique piece.

The watch is just back from a movement cleaning and is running well. All parts were cleaned and oiled and seals were replaced. I did not replace any other parts as this was serviced by a local watchmaker, not RSC and I wanted the watch to remain original.

Original Rolex crown and caseback

Bracelet and endlinks are correct and in great shape. All 12 original links are included (counting the smaller links attached to the clasp) 14 if you count the endlinks.

B562*** serial dates this watch to approximately 1993.

The plexi crystal has some small blemishes but is perfectly clear and I would not recommend replacing at this time. There are some fibers on the crystal in the photo. With the exception of 1 or 2, those are not scratches.

There is a scratch in the bezel insert through the # 200 in the Tach. RSC wanted $190 to replace the entire bezel, I did not think it was worth it as I barely notice it.

I am including an old original Tudor box, but I am not sure if the watch came in this style box originally because I purchased this watch secondhand.

Overall this is a beautiful condition rare Big Block that looks good with everything from a tuxedo to jeans.

I am asking $4900 Wired shipped overnight anywhere in USA. I will ship international but will not lie on customs forms.

Would trade for Explorer 1 39MM in mint condition.

I have many references here in the "who's who" section.

PM or email all questions to watchguy@[nospam]outlook.com

I'd be happy to take more photos if requested.

Still on the fence, make me an offer, maybe I'll take it.
