This Tudor is in overall great, honest vintage condition. The case is strong with normal signs of wear, scratches, and some nicks. The writing on the caseback is still in tact. The inside caseback is stamped "I.72" and the numbers are crisp between the lugs. The stainless steel bezel is in overall good condition with wear with nicks around the edge. The watch has one service replacement pusher at 4 o'clock. The watch has retained its correct, non-triplock crown (no 3 dots). The dial is in excellent condition with light patina/ wear; colors have remained vibrant. When looking at the dial closely, the edge of the date window shows some wear; this can be hard to notice. The lume is in great condition with light patina; it is a white marshmallow color. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands have aged to a similar color as the lume on the dial. The stainless-steel folded link 78360 bracelet has 13 links and 589 end links; the clasp is stamped "W8" indicating it is from 1995.The bracelet is in overall great condition with signs of normal wear and scratches.
The distinctive Tudor Oysterdate ref. 7159 - aka Tudor Montecarlo - hails from the brand's second generation of chronographs, produced between 1971 and 1977. The 71XX series had the same case as the first chronographs produced by Tudor but with a then-new hand-wound Valjoux caliber 234 movement with improved accuracy and a better chronograph mechanism. That series produced three different watches, including the ref. 7159 with a satin stainless steel tachymeter bezel calibrated to 500 kilometers and a grey and orange dial for sale here. The other two were references 7149 with a black plexiglass bezel and ref. 7169 with a rotatable bezel.
The name "Montecarlo" was inspired by the unique design of the chronograph registers, which many Tudor enthusiasts will tell you look similar to casino roulette wheels. On this model, each register is framed in sharp black against the grey dial for optimal legibility. It also sports a bright orange 60-minute track, a matching orange seconds hand, and the date and accompanying Cyclops magnifier at 6 o'clock. These models are fascinating alternatives to the Daytona produced by Tudor's parent company, Rolex, because they have a slightly larger case (compared to the 37mm Daytona) and a much more approachable price point.
Very happy with my purchase. Watch looks just like the images.
Received my watch the next day! It looks great, but I don't think anyone can go wrong with this iconic model!

The watch is beautiful thank you
Great watch. Happy with my order.
Loving this watch so far. It was accurately described, and they shipped it fast. I had to add a link and they took care of it and the process went very smoothly. Thanks Tanya!
Excellent selection and service . Watch arrived in one day in pristine condition. Couldn’t recommend Bobs watches enough. Will for sure buy from here again
Better than advertised Great condition Exactly what I’ve been looking for!
41MM and case height are perfect, super solid on the wrist. Feels like home! Love the vintage look of this highly collectible "Smiley Rose" BB! Thx BOBS! PS. I need a 79220R "Burgundy" now!
The Black Bay is a great watch; a ton of value for what you pay. My watch arrived on time and in the exact condition as described. First purchase but I'm very happy with my choice
More than I expected,This will be the last watch I'll ever own. Thank you very much.
i was delighted to unbox my new watch and find it as flawless as advertised by Bob's Watches. In it's original box it truly looks like it came straight from the manufacturer. it runs great and i couldn't be happier.
It’s a good looking watch especially for the money
The entire process of buying this watch was excellent. I exchanged a few emails with Tanya Morris and she was fantastic to deal with. Very impressed with the customer service. If and when I am in the market for another watch, I will certainly not hesitate to buy through your company again.
I'm very pleased, it appears to be everything that was advertised and the company shipped it to me very quickly.
Fast delivery and service
Easy to order, quick arrival, amazing condition. I felt confident ordering a watch from Bob's since it is such a trusted dealer. I don't think there's anything else I could ask for!
The exact watch I was looking for at a more than fair price. I’m also very impressed with the free over-night shipping as this meant a lot to me. Well done!
I was a bit of a serial trader and I am reacquiring some of the watches I regret getting rid of. The Black Bay I got from Bob's is in as good condition as the one I purchased new from the AD. I would recommend them to anyone.
Super easy Outstanding customer service Unbelievably fast shipping!! Great product as described
Tudor is a true luxury brand at an affordable price. Bob’s watches made the transaction seamless and easy.

Overnight shipping is very appreciated , especially when buying an expensive item. The description of the watch was done very well. I feel very good about my experience with Bob’s Watches. I would certainly recommend you guys and would definitely buy from you guys again. Thank you.
As advertised
So far Bob's is 3 for 3 with me ordering on Thursday and them processing/shipping on Friday for a Saturday morning delivery. Every watch has been in perfect condition. This Tudor GMT is a great watch for any collector or traveller. Many of the brilliant craftsmanship characteristics you notice about your Rolex will be present on the Black Bay. For one example not mentioned in any reviews I've seen, all edges are rounded and polished ever so slightly as to not look super rounded off, yet when slipping on and off the watch it feels smooth as glass.
I have had my eye on Tudor Black Bay watches for some time. Thrilled to now own one. Beautifully crafted simplicity....that keeps perfect time.
Really easy experience buying online. Great selection but you have to be constantly checking for the perfect watch. The process didn't take long. I placed the order on Friday night, Monday the order was processed, and Tuesday morning the watch was already in my house. Having Affirm as an option of payment is great, especially with the 0% deal! Really nice watch, and it was just as described. I would recommend buying from you guys to my friends!
Quality, Style, Condition, Appearance — contribute to a five-star rating.
Stunning and unique. The bronze sets it apart from all other watches.
I just received my new Tudor Heritage Black Bay Two Tone watch from Bob's Watches today and I LOVE IT! It's the perfect size for my wrist and feels and looks amazing. I got it with factory stickers, the Tudor box, warranty card and booklets. Not to mention I got it at a great price!
Hands-down the best customer service I’ve ever had. From my first return to my second delivery all done without a flaw
The Heritage Black Bay silver is an extremely handsome watch. I had BW ship the 79730 to my Tag- and Omega-wearing office and after the unboxing and the mandatory 'is it or isn't it a Rolex' argument, everyone fell in love with it. This Tudor is understated enough to go with anything, yet thanks the snowflake hands it's eye-catching without being tacky. Being a Rolex in all but literal name, the 79730 not only has the look and feel of a luxury eveyman's watch, it has the actual pedigree and in-house components to back it up. My personal attachent to this Black Bay grow more every day - - it simply 'fits' me - - and I would not part with it even for double the price. This watch will be an heirloom that I will eventually pass on to my son. Thank you BW for making my first luxury watch purchase stressless and enjoyable.
Great watch at a great price. Bobs has a great reputation- thier love of fine watches comes through.
