NOS 1998 Tudor Big Block 79260 Red Dial, Unworn, Full Set

Up for grabs is a Tudor Chronograph “Big Block” 

79260 reference

H12 serial number circa 1998 production

Superb New Old Stock “NOS” condition watch appears to have never been worn. No scratches, no signs of wear. The clear front sticker was only removed for the picture. The rear caseback stickers are intact. 

Dial is perfect, factory red and tritium. 

There are no signs of dirt ever being between the lugs and no wear damage on serial and reference numbers. 

The bracelet is original, it has been evidently sized at the AD (1 link removed) but never worn. Clasp is unpolished and shows a couple “showcase wear” marks from being handled and tried on. 

The original box has a sticker matching the serial number of the watch. The hangtag matches the serial number of the watch. Evidently, the AD gave the buyer wrong papers. They must have had a 79260P in stock with same dial, which is the strap version with factory polished lugs and grabbed it without noticing. So, even though the paper does not match the watch, I believe they were issued by accident, but not “put together” later.
