Hi Peter. Welcome to TRF. Like you my enthusiasm far outweighs my knowledge! You are in the right place to find information about your watch. I have a tudor chrono 79260 from 1996. It is the same model as yours but with a black bezel (yours has a ss one i believe). If you type tudor chrono into the search facility you will find some excellent posts and probably the largest source of info and history anywhere about Tudor.
As rolex's other brand their cases and winders (and some bracelets) were marked as such. After 97 (someone please correct me if i'm wrong) they ran with complete tudor branded parts. From a collecting/ investment point of view, you've got a more desirable watch as it has the rolex branded case and winder.
Please post some pics of your watch in the general discussion forum. There are lots of fans of these great watches here and we'd all like to see.
Cheers
Mark
