Traded off my Tudor jumbo and got these two...

Had a big block in the past. I regretted that I flipped it so to you guys that can find a good one, don't get rid of it!
Anyway these two were offered to me. A 79270 which I wanted only due to my unsatiated mourning over that BB loss, and a 15010. Made some pictures to share and hopefully get some feedback on them. I've had dates in past and to me they always looked best when in a suit or jacket. For me the chrono is a very casual piece best with jeans and shirt. Here they are and thanks for looking

Thanks for looking! I remember my big block which was with the silver tachymeter bezel and silver dial really had a certain pop to it and when I was in New York many years ago I had a street intervention with a real watch Hustler who offered me cash on the spot but really low balled me and I'm like no, I kind of like this piece thank you LOL. I really do miss that watch though if I could find another silver dial silver tachymeter bezel in the same condition or better I'd be on it and never let that go.

Apologies for thread-jacking



But mine has become the daily beater. It wears its years well. And that pedestrian, common as muck Valjoux never misses a beat.
