Parcelforce just brought this, wow I'm in love again!!!

It got so cold in transit condensation formed on the watch when I opened the package, thankfully none on the inside

Sorry about the lousy pics but just wanted to share with you guys before I go out. Hopefully I'll be able to take better snaps later today

jdc · 20 April 2009, 10:20 PM

Very nice "bigblock", Chris.

Really nice dial colour combo. Classic indeed.

It´s a beautiful watch Chris..I like that combo alot!

My guess is that it´s from Sweden..in that case I have a special tie with your watch. :)

I noticed that you were a previous owner on the Tudor Database thread after I pulled the trigger David, I think that is really cool & kinda makes us "blood-brothers"

Chris B · 21 April 2009, 02:25 AM

Here's a few more pics, these Tudors are addictive, so many combos to choose from (while they're still around) it's amazing

Please join in with your pics guys

kcmo · 21 April 2009, 02:44 AM

Wow, Chris, I really like this one! Never seen this dial combo before. Tell me more about it please!

kcmo · 21 April 2009, 02:50 AM

My favorite dial combo! Never seen this one before! Congrats!

Thank you Karis

It seems that everyday is a school-day here on TRF & especially with Tudor Chronos, I have the 79260 with white dial & black subs its so beautiful but to be honest I have real trouble reading the dial as I'm totally in denial about wearing specs all the time ( I used to think denial was a river in Africa, lol)

I couldn't believe my luck when I spotted today's arrival on Chrono24, it ticks all the boxes, its so crisp & easy for me to read I honestly couldn't be more pleased with it.

Since pulling the trigger I've seen a couple more for sale & also a really stunning Tudor Chrono with a linen dial, now that is classy.

Thank you again Karis, enjoy the rest of your day

You are too funny Chris! 'denial'

Ahhh, I may need to check out 'Chrono24'.....I assume it's a grey dealer site? I'm not a big chrono gal but you're right about the great legibility of this one!

Lovely!!!! I need to find out what these cost in $US. How old is it? Thanks!!!

peppermannen · 21 April 2009, 03:12 AM

Makes me proud to be a Tudor nut! Congrats on that beauty!

Dan Pierce · 21 April 2009, 04:43 AM

Chris,
A few questions: Is this your first "Big Block"? Also, which dial do you like best, the white w/ silver subs or silver w/ white subs?

Hi Dan, yes it's my first Big Block, I can't say that the additional "heft" (is that a word lol) is discernable over a later model, say the 79260, however they feel slightly different off the wrist & in the hand particularly when using the pushers.

The white dial with silver subs is so easy to read & is totally perfect for me.

I love my 79260 with white dial / black subs but I always think its quarter past the hour as I mistake the "Tudor Prince Date" as the minute hand

As you know my son has the 79280 with the silver dial / white subs, I spoke to him earlier this evening, he says he wore it out in the sunshine for the first time today & the dial seemed to come alive emitting a different colour of the spectrum at every angle & turn of the wrist, the word he used was 'mesmerising'

My absolute favourite Tudor Chrono dial combo is the same black / white subs as you have on your beauty, oh so classy, but I had to forget about that combo if I wanted to actually use it to tell the time.

All the best pal
