Fresh on the wrist

Just arrived today. A 1993 Tudor 79170 that came with both boxes, warranty card and instruction manual. Loving the look of this watch, and the condition is amazing.

Very nice watch, I've decided I'm going to buy a Tudor as a back up watch. Currently I am only a one watch guy. I bought a really really nice Seiko a few months back and couldn't bring myself to wear it. I tried but ended up returning it. I'll stay with my 16610 until it's time to buy a tudor, but a tudor is definately my next watch at some point. Good choice!

Looks great! I had a chance to buy one of these BNIB while in Hong Kong in 2009. I did not and keep kicking myself for not doing so!

Thanks all. Loving the watch! I took it in to have it serviced - was losing about 13 seconds/day. Can't wait to get it back. In the mean time, I have something else coming on Monday...

Those models should be bought when seen, they are future classics if not there already
