Tudor BIG block 79180 bezel = Polished or brushed?
I have noticed some of these "Big Blocks" have brushed bezels.
My 79180 is a 1993 serial B537.XXX with the first type dial (chamfered hour marks, "T SWISS T" and painted frame around date. Mine is polished. Wrong? Thank you knowledgeable Ladies & Gents |

I have owned three different 79180s and they all had polished bezels.
All had the flat hour markers and no date window frame.

Mines an 83 and appears to be mat or satin finished. Sent from my cracked, broken hand wound phone. IG @morning_tundra |
