A Dozen Hands...........................

The Tudor 79170 "Big Block" Oysterdate vs the Tudor "Daytona" 79280. Finally had the chance to take some comparative pics between these two classic Rolex Oyster cases.

Beautiful watches, Dan. The more you post those Tudors, the more I like them. I dig the case, too.

Great comparison! Which one do you prefer (if any), I'm thinking about the case (not the plexi or other other things)?

Best,

A

Both wear the same. The larger looking case and rotating bezel give the Big Block a slight edge.

Thanks , everybody!
