Fed-Ex arrived today, Tudor Chrono

I bought this Tudor Chrono 79280 last week as an early birthday gift for my son, its in really great shape & the silver dial is amazing it changes colour just like a cuttlefish, it's truly stunning, the photo doesn't even begin to do it justice.

I've sent it on & he'll have it with him tomorrow morning

Nice, I've always liked the Tudors. Now why can't Rolex make the Daytona with a date, it would be much more functional.

Chris,
Your son will be thrilled. That's a great example and a great gift. I bet that dial is a stunner in person.

Where did you buy this from? I'd like to pick up one of their glamour line pieces.

What a beauty Chris. Your son is gonna be thrilled. He must have been a very good boy. The silver dial is very classy, and the watch will look great with anything. I really like the jubilee style bracelet as well.

Thank you for your kind comments fellas

I bought the watch from these guys http://www.kenwatches.com.hk/


I've recently bought a 79180 from a trusted seller on TZ which hopefully should be with me this week, coincindentally he now has for sale the very same watch as I just bought my son
