Circa 1990, on Tudor bracelet, with documents and wallet. (No Box). Provenance Recently acquired (Last year) by me from a fastidious Hong Kong Collector in a small deal that included other watches I was more interested in. (HK collectors are notorious for the high standards they desire). I am a very small Tudor enthusiast, and I make no claim to know a great deal about them. I can tell you this is genuine, original, and in beautiful condition. NOTE: It has been pointed out to me the crystal would originally be a Cyclops. On speaking to my friend in HK he agreed it was, but he changed it when serviced because he wanted what he called a Superdome. I prefer it actually, but obviously that is not original. Why am I selling? I have another Tudor 79090. It is actually in not as good condition as this, and I decided to keep that one as I could wear it in more stressful environments. This one is, frankly, too good. Here in direct strong sunlight: Condition As with most watches from my collector friend, the quality is amazing. It is not NOS, but it is close. There are very slight signs of wear but this is not a re-profiled case - it is just in fantastic condition. Dial is flawless and hands show slight signs of age. (Which I think is a good thing!). The bracelet is tight and shows no signs of wear. Whats wrong with this? Well not much. The crystal is not new, and has some very minor marks. The case has some extremely minor marks. The papers do not show the case serial number, only the reference. This was written in where the serial might go, and this was not uncommon in other Tudor paperwork I have seen. However I have priced this as a non - papered watch. Price is $4950 by bank wire including insured USA delivery, others by agreement. Terms and Payments Payment is by bank wire to my bank in Hong Kong, again charges for you. Secure delivery within USA is included, insured via Parcel Pro. Watch is currently in USA and can be delivered from UK after 20th March. An exchange of ID Documents will ensure both of us are happy with who we are. I want you to be happy with what you buy. If when you receive it you do not like it, return it unworn and we will unwind the deal. ALL RETURN charges including any customs charges are on you.
The original crystal would have had a cyclops, so this is probably a replacement from some point (it looks in the profile shots like a superdomed T39).
Lovely piece, just what I would love to wear on a daily basis, but this looks way too nice to wear.. am sure this will be sold in a jiffy
Now I get the other 79090 out, I see the difference. Here is the sale watch next to the one I am keeping - At Mrs fruit's instruction , she likes the blue.
