7017 Jumbo
Delighted to find one these. Where I’ve always found 36mm Datejust underwhelming, the larger 38mm case and smooth bezel feel great. Apparently a virtually identical case to vintage Milgauss.

Yes, it's the same main case as the Milgauss 1019, but the back on the Milgauss is higher to accommodate the Faraday cage, so it wears higher and bigger.

That's a beauty, by the way!

This is one of my favorite Tudor references. The perfect size case and one of the most comfortable watches, in my opinion.

Nice, little fun fact - the Jumbo 'hash swiss hash' is pretty unique in having 0.2 second markings on dial !

Always great to have an expert comment. Following your comment in the other place, I took a closer look. Always knew the later models had the additional - - but never took much notice of the 0.2 markings.

Jeez. There's me thinking I was nerdy. You've totally out-nerded me.
