Incoming - My first vintage purchase

Just received this beauty from a member over on Watchuseek. Mint condition Tudor Chrono and about as close I’ll ever get to a Paul Newman Daytona.

This is the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chrono 79260. This was the last model Chrono to use Rolex marked parts.

I just love the look and the fact that it has a date function.

Hopefully, this isn’t the start of a new journey into the vintage world.

I had one as well and it was really a great piece. Solid valjoux 7750 and date too :-) Enjoy it, even after getting my Daytona 16520 I still think that the big block and your model before the switch to the Prince was one of the nicest overall designs out there. Enjoy it.

Fantastic watch & congratulations . You'll need the reverse now, to go with this one as they are better in pairs . And be careful of the vintage rabbit hole , once your in its difficult to get out .
