Do any of you have trouble reading the time? being geriatric with eyes to match I'm crestfallen about the legibility. I'm buying another one in black which I am hoping is easier on my eyes. What a beautiful watch not to be able to use!
I can see how the silver stick hands against the sunburst dial could be hard to read. My eyes aren't what they used to be, and mine is pretty legible, but it's the black face California dial posted above, so has the benefits of bigger hands, bigger numerals, and the black face. Cali dials can be a love-them-or-hate-them thing, but they are readable!
Hi guys I really like this thread and I would love to get a 76200. If someone can PM me with any info on where to get it. (I know I have pm'd some of you but figured I would ask on the forum) Thanks.
for those with the 76200 does the watch wear big? I'm 6' and 220 so 36mm is a bit on the small side. are there any vintage options in the same style that are 38-41 mm, thanks
Hi. It's simply a matter of taste. 36mm was the common DateJust size for 60 years, so it's about how you perceive what a watch should look like on the wrist. I'm 6'2" 180lbs, fwiw.
That being said, yes, there is the Tudor Date+Day Jumbo from the '60s that is 38mm, as well as the old 7020/0 shown above with the spinning bezel. I believe there are some larger models on the new "Glamour" line, too, but I'm not really familiar with those.
The cool thing about the 76200/76214 is that they're the same 36mm size as the classic Rolex DateJust and DayDate. To me, that's a positive.
The 76200 doesn't wear particularly big. Even with the bracelet, it's got a modest wrist presence, which is one of the things I like about it. The 76214 will pop a little more with the fluted bezel, but is still small.
Like douglasf13 suggests, the Glamour line may be the best bet. The older Jumbos are still relatively inexpensive, for some reason.
thanks for the info. i like the understated style of the 76200 vs the fluted. do you know the reference of the jumbo from the 60s and should i worry more about such an old movement and more importantly will a vintage cost more to service.can someone please tell me where they got theirs new, pleease
I bought mine "like new" on eBay from a guy who imported it from Hong Kong and then sold it. They're only available new from Asia, AFAIK.
The Tudor Jumbo you'd probably want to look at is the 7017/0, but I don't have any advice as to what to look for. I can't speak for this, but there's one for sale here on watchuseek:
thanks. id prefer a black dial which i am not sure was made in the jumbo. it seems from some of the other forum members that they got it new direct from asia for $2000 or so. thanks for the info though.
Thanks. It's a black dial 76200. They now come with the "Tudor Jubilee" bracelet, rather than a regular Jubilee or Oyster bracelet like when they first came out 20-something years ago, so I sourced a NOS Tudor Oyster bracelet to go with it (cost nearly as much as the watch!) I often find myself wearing it on a strap, though.
The 76200 wears just like any vintage Explorer or DateJust, and is actually closer to 35mm, rather than the advertised 36mm. I haven't tried in the BB36, but, even though the lug width is smaller at 19mm, my impression is that it reads slightly bulkier, but not sure.
Actually, here is a link to a video comparing the BB36 to the old Explorer (near identical to 76200,) to give you a size impression:
thanks it is absolutely stunning. I would get it as my next watch when funds become available. but 36 mm is a bit on the small side for meis there anything comparable in 38 to 40mm.
Yeah, it's simply a matter of style. 36mm was a common Rolex size for decades for all wrist sizes. I'm 6'2" 185, but I only have a 7" wrist. I prefer the 36mm to my 40mm SubDate, 39mm Explorer II and 39mm Aqua Terra. It feels like practically nothing is there on my wrist.
Does anyone know what other bracelet options there are for the tudor 76200 whether from tudor or rolex? I don't love the look of the one it comes with.
I found a Tudor 7836 bracelet for mine, which is exactly like a Rolex 7836, outside of the logo difference. There are both Oyster and Jubilee models from Tudor that fit, and many Rolex bracelets would also fit. The 76200 originally came with Oyster and Jubilee options, before they switched to strictly the "Tudor Jubilee" option that's available today.
After months of research and thanks in large part to some good advice from members on this thread, I finally have a Tudor Day Date on my wrist. I went with the 76214 as I really like the look of the fluted bezel. This thing is awesome!
