Tudor Experts - Big Block Verification
Hi,
I'm in the process of buying the 79170 Big Block shown below (this has been a grail of mine for sometime). I trust the seller and have no reason to believe that it's not genuine but you can never be too careful so any feedback from the Tudor Experts on here would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance, Dan |

Looks right to me, Oyster date on the dial, Not prince date and the bezel is right for that watch too, nice looking piece

Thanks for all the replies! :)
It arrived in the post today - it really is a beautiful watch - pure class!! I will post my own pics later. I will take it down to my watch maker to open the case back just to be sure. He's not a Tudor expert though so is there anything in particular he / I should be looking out for in terms of the movement or overall feel of the watch? Cheers, Dan |
