My 79180. I love this watch more and more as I wear it!
It's seen a lot of wrist time since I got it. I will have to start using #teambigblock on IG! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Until early/mid-90s, I believe both case backs and crowns were Rolex (my wife has a mini-sub from late 80s with both). On Big-Blocks they were both crown and casebacks. The early following model 792xx had a mixture and at this point I need to hand over to Dan Pierce

The Big Blocks [791XX] and earlier references had Rolex crowns, case backs, and Oysterdate dials. The early 792XX had the same but then started a transition to Tudor shield crowns, case backs, and Prince Date dials. So some 792XXs has any combo of both. The 792XXP [for polished lugs] had all Tudor markings. dP

Question for the Big Block experts - are the bezels interchangeable between the 79170 and the 79180? I would love to be able to pop on a black bezel every now and then on my 79180.

Here's my 79180. I recently sent it back to Rolex in New York for a complete overhaul and I love it. It's surprising to me that these aren't more appreciated.

I am just going to chime in that Hoppes No9 is sometimes referred to as the best men's Cologne you can buy
