Handsome!

Personally, I also prefer the thinner more rounded and more Daytona like case.

Big-blocks are great but they are like - well - a big block. Here are more shots of the case for inspiration.

Btw. this dial combo is NOT so easy to find and price-wise in the region of big blocks.

Looks also great on a Nato:

Thanks again for the pics....it's going to be a long weekend browsing around town! 791xx or 792xx I think it will depend in what sings in the metal.

Nice shot, can you show me more of that strap, please.
Thanks

Very nice Tommy, nice touch with the red chrono, I'm assuming it's daytona red chrono hand from a 116520 ?

Tudor had red chrono hands on certain dial color schemes. Ordered one in my handset and they look great on white and silver dials.

Pretty much like my watch, exactly. I had mine for almost 15 years and loved every minute of it and still wear it often...

I looked at a bunch of pictures and you are right. One of the things that would bother me endlessly with a big block.

Actually the watchmaker I use painted the original.

Well, everyone else is showing off their BBs, so here's mine (#79170, B502xxx, ~1993). Haven't had a chance to wear it much, as it was sent off for service the week I received it. Expect it back late next week.

Wonderful thread.

Ask if he can paint the chrono hand red.....looks good that way
