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.

Thank you! Yours are a bit later than mine, wonder if the earlier ones were "satin" brushed.

Pretty sure they're all polished.

Mine’s an ‘83 and appears to be mat or satin finished.
