    Looks like a big block. $2500-$4000, depends on box and papers. It appears to be late 60s early 70s, still has the t swiss t dial which indicates tritium dial. Remove the bracelet to get the ref and serial no, will be able to get a more accurate value

I paid £475.00 so I think it may have gone in value since then. image.jpeg

    Not a this moment in but I will keep you in mind thanks for your interest. Not had the best luck with the speedmaster
    The chronograph minute counter will not reset too zero. so going Back to the omega AD tomorrow where I bought it perhaps there are on going problems with this new calibre 3330 movement only used once today for a test and it will not reset ........ The watch is one week old......

    Hi,
    Yours is not a flat sided big block, looks like it's from around the late 90's. Very nice and very under the radar at the moment.

    Hi again,

    This is a reverse panda is a Big Block I owned some time ago with rotating black bezel. These are quite big watches with flat sides and very noisy rotors ETA7750 :)

    Hi,

    First time poster here.

    This is not a Big Block. It is the Chrono model that followed the last Big Block models ref. 791x0.

    As some people have mentioned, Big Blocks case is chunkier and sides are flat. Also BiG Blocks have plexiglass crystals. As opposed to sapphire in the 792x0 chronos.

    Your watch is very nice though and certainly have increased in price considerably. They are not as coveted as Big Blocks though.

    Agreed. Not big blocks. Just like the Tiger without the Tiger. Mine says hi.

    I blame it on the autoconnect.

    A big thank you to Tudor for not putting partial numbers on the dial.
