Hi, what do you think about this Big Block (Serial B63****)?
Dial and Bezel are ok? What is the real market value (only watch)?

Thanks to all in advance :)

Quick peruse only...

Looks ok.

This is a later one with following differences.

*No chamfered HR markers
* No date window frame*
T Swiss made T instead of T swiss T
* 78360 round topped 3 on last link sometimes found.

The big blocks are totally skewed by the amazing prices offered in Japan. I can't think of any other Tudor other than the 79090 that is so cheap in Japan compared to elsewhere.

The rest of the world is (79)160 : loose £6k, with B and P circa £7.5k, and a bit more for '170 and bit less for '180.

In Japan a loose watch 79160/70/80 start from £3.5k and £4k for a b anf p.

Even with 20% vat into UK they are cheap.

For this serial, the watch's dial and bezel are ok?

Agree w/ Paul on the Big Block "era" of this example. Per the pics, I don't see any red flags. Can't comment on the value as I haven't owned or reviewed their prices in a long time.

Looks like a nice reference and for the money they are good watches

Those are great chronographs. I've owned a few in the past and had a twin to the one posted here.
