Hard to beat a Big Block for value and heft. Here's mine. :cheers:

Thank you sir. It was a one owner and I believe the only time he wore it was the day he purchased it.:cheers:

Here are mine - 94210 and 79180. IMHO great value and looks - they both get a good degree of wrist time (although not usually at the same time).

I love my 79180. It gets a lot of wrist time.

rootbeer7 3 May 2016 04:58 PM

Great stuff Mais_Um and desirable :cheers: let's keep them coming:thumbsup:

I think we'll allow it in!

Very nice!

rootbeer7 4 May 2016 12:04 AM

looking good defrank, how do you choose?

drefrank 4 May 2016 10:58 AM

Thanks rootbeer7. It can be tough to decide between them. I try to stick with a rotation and rarely wear these back to back. It's nice having choices.

Like most of us, I am hoping to have more choices in the future!

Daytona88 4 May 2016 11:17 AM

Very nice pics!

I really like the 3D, double-layer sub-dials on that model. Did all 942xx models have that treatment?

Here is my duo which are rotated regularly along with a 79090 Sub.

Sadly, my long gone Big Block.

Luckily the itch is still scratched with my 79270P.

I wish I could answer your question but I'm not much help on this model. I own one and that is about all I can tell you...sorry.

waQstar 4 May 2016 02:19 PM

Don't feel sad Dan, you have made many of us big block enthusiasts, well at least ... Me! Good to see you around.

rootbeer7 5 May 2016 06:00 AM

looking good iclick and Dan you're the man! :cheers:

Beautiful sunny morning in London. Love the way dial catches the sun

Qinhan 9 May 2016 06:24 PM

I can surely appreciate them, just not on my puny wrists. Big blocks ain't called big for nothin'!

This is my old 79170 that I flipped a while back.

You don't see the porcelain dial, silver sub-dial combination very often. Nice!
