I know this dial isn't every one's cup of tea but I really love it, had the itch from when I saw the watch (on a brown strap) in the 2004 Tudor catalogue, I feel so lucky to have found one

I'd like to say a big thank-you to Axel ( abr68 ) for all his help, glad he knew the seller & could authenticate, advise on pricing, shipping etc. Many thanks again Axel you're a star

The watch is in immaculate condition & has all original boxes & paperwork

Here's some quick shots, hopefully I can take a few more later today time permitting

Nice watch Chris. I picked-up a 1997 vintage Tiger chrono a few months ago myself.

Enjoy, they are a great watch!!!

Congratulations, that's a great looking dial. Kudos to Axel for his assistance.

Dan Pierce · 6 May 2009, 10:28 PM

Now hold on just a dang minute!! Chris are you trying to corner the Tudor chrono market??
That's a stunner.

Love the dial. It goes great with the bracelet

Tudor had so many cool versions I can understand want them all.

Congrats,

Thanks Karis, my son mentioned the same family shot when I spoke to him earlier this afternoon, he has his 79280 at Bexley & they also have my 79180, when they returned I must take a pic of them all together. Wish they could have puppies

Tony-GB · 7 May 2009, 03:07 AM

That is a horny dial. Anyone that disagree's needs some viagra in their watch diet!

Superb watch. Enjoy it in the best of health.

And if you don't feel like reading the links that Dan put up for you (You should read them, good information), the cliff notes version is that Rolex owns Tudor.

Beautiful watch! That is one heck of a good looking watch.
