Tudor Chronograph Big Block values?

[sensui]

Fantastic examples....very nice. I myself just picked up a nice 79160 before the price trend rides that wave....great complement to my Daytona.

And with these older ones carrying plenty of Rolex DNA I can only see them being dragged upwards by the Daytona craze.



Plus you get a date too.

X2 Love having a date function and thanks for all the replies and pics beautiful examples

Not a Big Block but prices are definitely tied together, a pre-tiger 79260 set just posted yesterday and sold today for $5450.

I believe it was a very early one with ‘oysterdate’ not ‘prince date’ dial and Rolex crown and case-back. Even so that’s good money.

I guess amazing how the prices have risen since they first came out I have a friend that bought one brand new in the 80s and still has it paided $900 for it

Very nice! Some fantastic examples. I personally believe the Tudor Chronographs from the 80's through the 90's both big and small blocks are on the rise.

Daytona's are unattainable to the average collector/enthusiast with the spike. The Tudor's offer a great alternative at a still reasonable price point.

I picked up my 79280 off TRF about 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. Really an excellent piece to add to the collection.

Just got my First Tudor Big Block..Amazing how it reminds me of my Zenith Daytona and older, vintage Daytonas.



Looking at prices today, only going up!!
