Tudor Tiger - Caseback Question

[SPMN]

I have a question that I’m pretty sure I know the answer to, but I just want to confirm with everyone here first.

I’m looking to purchase a Tudor Tiger with steel bezel and polished lugs, which is a 79280P. The caseback on this watch states 79260P, which is meant for the model with black acrylic bezel.

Is that difference important, or not? I’m leaning towards it not being important. Tudor likely just had a stack of casebacks for the 79xxx series and likely applied them interchangeably. Is that a fair assumption, or is this something I should press the seller on?

Thank you!

I believe this is the case. There's a great thread on these Tudor chronos.

You are correct. It's common to find 79260 case backs on 79270's & 79280's.
