Tudor Chronograph 79270 Pre-Tiger aka Poor Man's Daytona (SOLD)




This watch was restored completely requiring a new dial (oysterdate), hands, bezel, movement and crystal. It came to me with the crystal and bezel missing with the dial and movement smashed in. I suspect it was intentionally done as a result of a domestic quarrel?;)

In any case, it certainly didn't make financial sense to emabark on such a project but sometimes you have to follow only your heart. As you can see, I have given it a fair amount of wrist time! Along with vintage watches, I do have a passion for the sea and old Porsches.
