Help Finding a Tudor Chronograph

I just saw a Tudor Chronograph in person, and I am smitten. Can anyone lead me to an online gray dealer or ebay seller for this? I would like a LNIB or NIB 2005 Tiger Tudor Chrono with the date function. It is very interesting, and I like it because of it being quite low profile.

Thanks.

Yep

Yep. That's the one. I like that face as well as the white face with the contrasting black subdials. I think your watch is very elegant. Any ideas on where to get one? Ebay? Is that my best chance?

Look at the sales forums on here and on TZ and WN also, better dealing with a wis then a stranger on ebay. Take your time looking as it took me a while to find mine as I wanted the exact dial I got and that wasn't easy to find. Also look for one that doesn't need service as service is the same price as Rolex(RSC-expensive), mine was just serviced completely when I bought it to the tune of $800 by the RSC. Good luck on your search.

I know where you can get one. I dont know the full details but it's sitting in a vault somewhere from what I can remember. It's for sale I'm sure.

Great pics. I'd prefer one of these over a Daytona due to it having a date function. I love that Tiger model Swatty!

I currently have one for sale, but I have already offered it to another member. It is a little bit older (1999), so the bezel is silver rather than black. If you are interested, I can keep you posted.

If you are patient you can find a nice example of the pre Tiger in the 2700-3500 range, in excellent conditon, I wanted this particular combination with the silver dial and the black tachy bezel and it took about a month to find the right one at the right price with books, boxes and papers. Good luck, the search is half the fun.
