Love the Big Block - congratulations! Just purchased a 79180 panda from Crown/Caliber in the US with box/papers after a fairly extensive search.

Guys,

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad vintage Tudor is getting some love! I'd like a vintage Advisor next!

Congratulations !! It's an amazing reference. I believe the albino is the rarest of the dial variations, and the 12Hrs bezel is pure Tudor DNA !

I'm still in my honeymoon with my Panda.

Somehow with the black bezel that dial works so much better than the 79180

I personally like the Panda better than the Albino, but truth be told, the Panda poses some readability issues (when the black hands are over the black subdials) that you will not have with yours...

For sale already?!!!

I found my Albino not too long ago, and it's the one of the 8 Big Blocks I've owned that I can't see parting with, at least not for a while. I tried it on a leather strap, but think I like it more on its bracelet. Someone PM'd me right after trying to buy the bracelet off me, but I declined.

Anyways, good luck with the sale. Hmm, if I bought it I'd have to find a 79180 Albino to complete the trio. There is one on eBay right now for insane $, IMO. Ask is $7675.

My 79160 Albino says hello:
