Poor man's Rolex....

Peeps,

Need your advice.
Which to you is more desirable and why?
Might want to get either one of these from a overseas buyer.
Price difference between both is about $200, black subdial being higher.

Both are equally hard to resist . But still, it's personal preference. I like the one with black sub-dials but thought it'll look nicer if the bezel is black, not SS. So between the two, I'll choose the one with champagne sub-dials. The color combination is more retro.

Panda dial is more desirable. More outstanding than the other. You may then call it a poor man's Paul Newman Daytona

And I believe you've sold them all

Coz TS asks "Which to you is more desirable" mah...

And I believe you've sold them all

Ya...thanks to you for the last sale And the fact that I once owned the Panda as well as the reserved Panda and not the one with silver registers tells my preference. Alomst got back another black dial last month but decided to save my fund for something else

[taxico]

sorry, but these are currently (and will in all probability continue to be) overpriced, so i wouldn't spend my money on them.

there're better watches in their price range. but at their original RRP (+inflation, etc) or price notwithstanding, i would go for the panda.

[pegasi]

Over priced or not is relative to what you compare them with. If compared with original RRP, then I agree with you.

Afterall, most of the parts used except the movement are either shared with or of similiar quality as Rolex's.

Panda is NICE

Black Subdial.

[coopster9]

what would you consider a reasonable price for both the Champaign and Black sub dials?

yes, bro pegasi, I like the 79260P in your pic...

the crown (and possibly the pushers); everything else is not shared. quality (especially in the 60/70/80/90s) is also relative, so i won't go there.

i'm not saying you're wrong about valuation, but at current prices i wouldn't buy them.

the same amount of money can be spent on a 904L-cased dual time rolex watch with a microstella-equipped movement. or i would buy older rolex watches without bracelets within that price bracket.

less money can be spent on a 7750-equipped 300m diving chrono... but then, you can never use money to buy the past - hence the high price.

i still like the panda better.

Bro, thks for sharing your nice collection!

I don't think it is poor man's rolex but a smart buy rather. Tudor chronos are indeed beautiful!

The vintage ones (Big Blocks) are going up in prices. Gone are the days (just 2 years ago) when they cost US$3000 plus. The pricing now is US$4000 onwards. There was focus on vintage Tudor Snowflake Subs and it very hard to find good quality ones nowadays. Collectors are now buying up the 80s/90s Tudor chronos. Not poor man's but value for money. Good size with date function. What's more, they come in Panda dials!

My friend in HK told me that Tudor Chronos are hot there. There is a big fan base.
