Incoming: Vintage Addition with a hint of Racing Flavor...
I recently was fortunate enough to pick up this crisp 7169/0 from 1972. Condition is king, as they say, and I think I got lucky with this one. I absolutely adore it.
Tudor did a great job with the modern version, but for me the vintage piece is perfect. 40mm case size and that classic cyclops. It wears beautifully. Very happy to have it in the collection - hope you all enjoy the photos |

I really enjoy the pics of the vintage Tudor. Man, that is a well preserved example...
I am both extremely jealous and happy for you at the same time...

What a beauty. I've been watching these since the Heritage model came out and I don't think I've seen one this nice. Very handsome.
