Tudor Incoming & Landed

Hey ladies and germs, I know it's not a snazzy new Rolex, but I've had my eye on this Tudor series for some time. I wanted an oyster bracelet, non tiger, baton markers, 79280P with a more scarce dial.

My budget doesn't reach that of a Big Block at the moment, so I settled on this one with the Albino dial. It satisfied my criteria

It's practically mint with proper oyster bracelet and end links. That's a smudge at the top of the bezel. I'll work on cleaning it and doing a gentle Cape Cod polish cloth on the bright work. Anything foreign looking is glare and reflection.

I'm very satisfied. It winds and sets time perfectly. The crown tube is clean with plenty thread left and a nice beefy gasket. Pushers screw in tight and work perfectly. The date snaps at midnight. Keeping time to the second with my atomic clock (even though it's only been 20 minutes )

So a quick, obligatory wrist shot taken prior to setting time. I have to size the clasp a pinch tighter. Thanks for looking.

Thank you very much everyone. Appreciate it!

I don't have more pics yet. I'll clean it up a little and get a nice backdrop and take some this weekend.
