TUDOR BIG BLOCK CHRONOGRAPH SILVER DIAL 79170 with Box & Service Paper Set

We have here a handsome B5 serial (1993) Tudor Big Block Chronograph Panda silver dial with box, booklet and service receipt. This is the most striking Panda combination out of all the Big Blocks for me with a Paul Newman like feel. This is a thick cased specimen and looks lightly polished to me in the past with chamfers still clear and visible throughout the lugs. Overall condition is very good (85%) for its age with some surface wear marks on the case and bracelet. I see a micro chip on the plexi near the 3 bezel mark. All tritium dots on the dial are perfect. 78360 bracelet will fit up to an 8 inch wrist with 589 end links. Lastly, the movement was serviced in March of 2019 ($500) so the date switches over properly around 12 with good power reserve.

Given the latest purchases, I may have to sell one here so this beautiful 79170 BIG BLOCK is back on the chopping block. If you search around, 79170s in thick case format are now becoming harder to find.

The only trade I am looking for is 3590.50 (box and paper preferred) with creamy patina + cash adjustment.

Thanks to all for looking and stay safe 😀

Preference is really to trade and will be open to more recent 145.022 with nice creamy patina as well 😀

Thanks for looking,
