    I just got this 70s Tudor 7169/0 Montecarlo from another collector who is trimming down his collection. He still has another one, the 7031 homeplate model which he will keep. The Montecarlo I got is in very good condition and the collector is known for just keeping his watches in a safe. The Tudor looks like it was hardly used at all.

    He also owns the Omega Speedmaster 105.012 cal. 321 with tropical dial that I posted earlier. We are still negotiating for a better price and hopefully we can come to terms soon. I was also shown a Tudor 7922 "no crown guard" Submariner with the big crown but he wants me to make an offer for the watch which I have no idea at all what to offer because not much information is available on the internet.

    Thats a beauty! I just got a Big Block this week after looking for a good one for about four months. This is a stock photo of the one I got.

    Lovely example, the one thing that lets the re-edition of that tudor down is not having that unique cyclops at six, such a cool feature

    NIce Tudor, the 7922 is a great find. They are expensive if everything is correct and pleasing to look at. Good luck with it. M

    I used to own a blue 7159, they are fantastic watches. Such a great look and heritage without the Paul Newman-like price tag.

    Reviving this old thread to see some of these beautiful Tudor Chronos. I would love to own one of these but since I can't afford it I have to settle for the pictures of the ones you guys own ;) So please share.

    Spacefruit’s profile description needs to be changed from “prolific speedmaster hoarder” to “prolific watch hoarder” ;)
