No Reserve: 2018 Tudor Black Bay 79500

The Tudor Black Bay 36, reference 79500, represents the brand’s modern approach to the classic Oyster-cased sports watch, offering a versatile 36 mm profile that draws on Tudor’s heritage while delivering contemporary reliability. This 2018 example is accompanied by a complete set of box, papers, and accessories, making it a comprehensive offering for collectors seeking both originality and completeness.

The black dial is clean and free of blemishes, with crisp white printing and applied luminous markers that show no discoloration or loss. The signature snowflake hour hand, baton minute hand, and slender seconds hand are all intact, with no visible corrosion or lume degradation. The luminous plots and hands are uniform in tone, with no yellowing or shrinkage. The polished bezel and case flanks display fine swirls and hairlines throughout, along with a few deeper scratches on the bezel and upper case sides, all consistent with regular wear and remaining at the surface level. The case shape and lug edges are sharp, showing no evidence of prior refinishing. The brushed caseback carries light swirling and fine scratches, while the Tudor, Geneve, and Suisse engravings remain crisp. The sapphire crystal is free from chips, cracks, or scratches.

The signed Tudor rose crown is undamaged. The steel Oyster-style bracelet, with end links stamped 95750 and D004, and a clasp marked Tudor Geneve Swiss Made Steelinox, shows the most wear: scratches and hairlines are visible across the outer links, with the clasp cover exhibiting several deeper marks and scuffs. The interior clasp and some inner links display brown-toned staining and residue, which is cosmetic and confined to hidden surfaces. Bracelet articulation appears normal, with minimal stretch.

This watch is offered as a full set, including the Tudor presentation box, outer brown box, original white shipping carton, guarantee card (serial I605726, model 79500), guarantee booklet, Heritage Black Bay 36 instruction booklet, card wallet, retail price tag, three spare bracelet links with screws and pins, and an additional grey camouflage nato strap with steel buckle. An eBay Authenticity Guarantee card is also present, which is from the authentication process provided by eBay when the previous owner purchased the watch.
