Tudor Oysterdate prince big block

I have the chance to buy a 1990 Prince Big Block panda in mint condition to add to my 98 Tudor Tiger Chrono Prince blue face that I have now.
I was going to buy a new blue Heritage model but for a little more money the Big Block is to nice to pass up....What would you get the older with 7750 movement
or the newer model?
Ive got on a Tudor "kick" and next want an older Subalso....I love the looks of the older Tudors and some of the new ones too.
Any thoughts

You can always buy a new THC Blue. They ain't making Big Blocks anymore. The Valjoux 7750 is a robust workhorse with a well earned reputation.

Very true...My wife argument is/was the Big Block looks like the Tiger Prince I have now except the color at first glance. The BB is more money and a better looking watch IMHO. She was/is trying to buy me something and I always want something else. When it comes to watches we are hard to please.....
As the guy said in another post the older the better....Thanks for the insight.

One of my great watch collecting regrets was trading my Tudor Big Block w/plexi.

Get the Big Block, it is a great vintage watch. Plus they have a Rolex marked case back and Rolex crown!
