NOS Tudor sub 79090

Just picked up a brand new (old stock) Tudor 79090 here in NYC from a well known collector.

Amazing full b/p set.

Not my photos but now my watch!

Big congrats, Pav!!! Those Tudors are just as enticing as any other Rolex Oyster.
That's a beauty.

Hi Onkyo!
That´s an amazing finding indeed!
I wish you´ll enjoy it in good health!
It´s so nice to have the rare privilege to see a vintage watch in same state as when it left the factory so many years ago!
Thanks for sharing!
Best cordial regards, Abel
