Thank you Nathan (enginrd).

Not too big after all. Wears much better than I expected.

Beauty!

I love how the older Tudors do the white sub dial hands on the panda models, it shows up so much better against the black than WG...IMO of course.

It's taken a few days to get comfortable reading the time. It's quite a busy dial and with no lume left it can be tricky after dusk. But it's still a handsome piece with a ton of character. A keeper for sure.

They also black the hands on the reverse panda (white subdials).

I just love it!
I think they are hands down the best chronographs out there! Very solidly build, amazing dials, iconic shape and a bulletproof movement!
Before someone says it is just a 7750 remember it probably saved the concept of mechanical chronographs!
Anyway that is why I own two...

... anyone that says "just a 7750" needs to read a little history. Sure, you could probably still find reasons to mock it but no one can deny that it saved the mechanical chronograph from the dustbin of history!
