Tudor Tiger Prince Chronograph Watch Review - The Best Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Luxury Alternative
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2017
- In todays video I review my latest acquisition and discuss a brief history of Tudor's iconic chronographs. The Tudor Tiger Prince Date Automatic (ref. 79280) was made to honour Tudor's sponsorship of the legendary golfer Tiger Woods. However the roots of the watch are firmly in motor racing, much like it's more famous cousin from Rolex. Despite it's similarities to the Paul Newman Daytona, (especially the ref. 6239/6262) it is full of it's own combination of unique features, character and class. This makes it undoubtedly the best affordable alternative to the massively sort after and extremely expensive iconic Daytona.

I miss the callipers, with you then explaining about the sellotape on them. It had become a tradition!

Thank you for posting the most comprehensive and detailed review of one very classy and iconic watch.
Love all the images you put up when you talk about various features! Keep it up!
What an introduction! Three of my favorite treats, a fine driving road, great soundtrack and a fine watch. I gotta stop re-watching the intro so I can get to the review! Please make that compilation video of introductions. It would be a sensory overload! You have such great talent for fine production. Thank you. Cheers!

Great job TGV! Happy Easter to everyone!

I've finally pinned down the watch to round out my collection. I paid a visit to an authorised dealer today & tried it on in person. Thanks ever so much for highlighting the piece in question.
So glad to hear Stephen, always glad to help.
Thank you,

Almost 100k subscribers. Love this channel!
You are the Man! makes me want all these time pieces , happy i subscribed , keep it up
I love my Tiger. It is the only luxury watch I own (but this channel is fixing to change that). I am the original owner of the one I have, I purchased it in April of 1998. I was waiting for my AD to get their first shipment. I will never sell it. It will go to my oldest son when it’s time.
Thanks TGV for your detailed review of this watch which is my 1st Tudor purchase after seeing this video, and your comments on it being a collectable and how closely it resembles the Rolex Dayton is what helped me decide to add it to my growing collection of watches. And I will get an oyster bracelet I to agree it takes it up another notch. As always I love your reviews keep up the great job !!!
The undisputed king of intros! Awesome job TGV! Almost on the quite deserved 100k.
Thank you Nuno, very kind of you to say :D

Just had mine serviced. Great looking watch. Movement is just a little louder than my GMT.
I have the exact tudor ref. 79280 with original box/papers that i'm contemplating selling...this review is making me fall back in love with it!
Dope intro! Really nice I appreciate it everytime
that was one awesome intro TGV!
Nice watch and loved that intro

You have to combined the love of watches with the love of cars ... that is the ultimate lifestyle of a gentleman lol
LOL I wish!!! :D
Thank you Amro,

Very nice review of a gorgeous timepiece. I love my 1997 Tudor Tiger Prince Date chronograph with a stainless steel band/bezel, white subdial, silver face. I know there were many different color variations, but i find the silver/stainless steel with white subdial to be the best looking. Still have the box!
Fantastic! As always!
Thank you :D
Best regards,
TGV
Stop gushing about Tudor. You're driving the prices up ;)
ahahahah it's what I always think when watching these videos :D
Great opening and great review.
Thank you sir :D
Best regards,
TGV
That intro was so good to watch, like a tiger tgv
Hi tgv fantastic vid and a great review, ahhh the tiger absolutely first class, and on the carbon fibre strap amazing, ps the intro for this vid i tip my hat sir, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, your friend Ryan.
Thank you so much Ryan, glad you like the Tiger, hard not to right?! I hope you are well my friend.
O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
Hi TGV
Pure class indeed. Really like it in black on white.
Don't get rid of the strap; it's perfect for this watch.
Keep up the good work👍
Another great intro TGV. Watch looks great on wrist although I don't really like a subdial in the 12 o clock position. Great choice of strap too Tristano.
Best intro ever!
I just got this watch but with a white dial and on the oyster bracelet. Absolutely love it!
I love the waterproof band on that tiger
Beautiful watch. Pure class!
Love this watch! As close to a vintage daytona as I will likely ever get!
Thank you for explanation.
That's such a cool strap you've got it on! Good taste as always 👌
Thank you my friend, too kind :)
Best regards,
TGV
What an intro! Glad you chose Porsche! :)
Incredible intro
love the Tudor watches, so much as you said personality, a King Tiger would be nice, and
yes Rolex makes stunning watches but every Pimp has one
pure class, that watch! full of character. congrats and hang on to it! ;-)
This would go with my Tag Heuer Tiger very nicely. Adding this to the buy list for sure
Love the review 🍸 You know, I always was unsure about the "Tiger" until you just said Tiger tank 😎 Ob stuermt oder schneit 🙌
Wow, I came across the intro in one of the "Best of..." videos and was blown away by the Porsche 911R footage. Great choice of a super-sporty car for a sporty watch. The 911R - being a rather mechanical machine compared to today´s standards - is also a good match for a mechanical watch.
Again, Phenomenal vid, image and style. Its amazing how sophisticated this channel is considering the basics. God Bless Sir!!!.....
Thank you so much :D
Deeply flattered, god bless you too.
Best regards,
TGV
Great video. I like your vintage Tudors much more than the new ones.:)
Very nice indeed!
Awesome video Tristano you've ruined my early night!!
LOL, thank you and sorry ;-)
Best regards,
TGV
Hey TGV.. great review and a beautiful watch. Would love to see you review an Alpina Seastrong!?
great video tgv, but just after your video about fashion watches I got an advert during this video for calvin cline watches...you can't escape
Great video! This is the 2nd best opening you've had. The 1st is still the WatchCo Seamaster 300. The one with the sharks!
i love it! i want it. love tudor
Hail to the Tudor chronos! Reppin' the Fastrider Black Shield here (the black and red one with matching bracelet I posted on your FB group last Saturday) :)
OMG, I adore that watch!!!
Enjoy it for me my friend, if it was 40mm it would be on my wrist as we speak.
Thank you
Best regards,
TGV
One more great watch TGV!
Fantastic 911 opening !
Hi TGV,
I love the intro featuring the juxtaposition of the Porsche 911 with the Tudor Tiger Prince ad Rolex Daytona Cosmograph. Always loved the classic look of the Porsche 911.
Tudor looks a though it has been prepared to be more playful with offering various and colourful options to the Tiger Prince Chronograph's design over the years of the model's long run. Rolex's strength has always been in offering traditional pieces with the Daytona's timeless design. The numerous models of the Daytona are more elegant and could be worn with casual attire, evening wear or a suit. Whether the Tudor Tiger Prince chronograph you have reviewed is one of a few from Tudor that could be paired with casual or business attire. I agree the silver dial is beautiful with its sunburst effect and provides stunning contrast with the black sub-dials. It will be very interesting to see where Tudor will go over the next few years with their designs. It is great to see them stepping out of the shadow of its big brother Rolex.
What a beautiful watch
Amazing piece T and I'm so jealous! If ever you decide to part with it give me a call first haha! Excellent review as always my friend!
Thank you Justin, it was part.y you that also inspired me to get it.
I might put it on a croc red strap later and do a "Justin" ;-)
Have a great Easter brother.
Best regards,
TGV
That carbon fiber pattern strap works great with the Tudor, but red stitching would make it work even better.
Beautiful piece! Reminds me of the Panda
Hey TGV, congratulations for the channel, been following for a while and it is great. I have a question: can you tell us exactly the size of your wrists? You always say that they are small, but would be very useful to know the exact size when you show the watch on your wrist.
Tudors are cool. Nice video, love the 'Big Block'.
Glad to see you reviewing this one. As you know I have a Tudor Black Bay and I just love it. So I've been considering a Tudor Chrono. Was looking at the Heritage Chrono line (the blue accented one) but your model is really making me reconsider. I LOVE that silver sunray dial with the black sub dials. IF you ever decide to sell it I'd love to have a chance to buy it. Ciao, John
Another Daytona alternative is the Omega 3559.32 Speedmaster Legend.
I love that one. This Tiger however is an absolute stunner.
I took the marathon navigator review to heart and took it out of inventory, spiffed it up here and there, wearing it rather than storing it away.
Top intro
In my watch collection I have a lovely pre- Tiger 79280P Tudor Prince Chrono with the starburst Blue face , I have it on the Tudor " Jubilee " style bracelet but also have the blue leather deployment buckle strap, interesting how you mentioned the twin bracelet/strap mounting holes as I was led to believe that one pair of holes were for mounting the strap and the other pair, having to be in a slightly different position , were for the mounting of the bracelet.
Incredible watch, and excellent video review! TGV; I see this requested a lot on the FB UGWC page, and am wondering if you can make a video to answer. What is the best chronograph (maybe one quartz and one automatic) that one can buy for around $1,000?
TGV, great pick up. What a nice alternative to the Daytona, and what a timely review given the release of the BB chrono at BW17. By the way, have you mentioned the little samurai sitting on your desk in any of your vids? Very curious about it...
Thank you Alberto.
I will be doing a desk tour next week hopefully.
Best regards,
TGV
wow, what a watch.. i very much envy you for getting this~! XD
anyhow, great video as always~
Thank you Amirul,
Best regards,
TGV
That is one of the nicest looking watches I have ever seen. I like it better than my Capeland S.
awesome video again T. ...love Tudor! style, beond the ''sometimes a litle tacky'' Rolex aura.
Thank you so much, and you hit the nail on the head,
Best regards,
TGV
Great review and fanstastic intro. BTW what size is your wrist 6" / 6.5"? It would just help me visualise on my own wrist. Thanks - Seikonut
I am 6.25,
Thank you SN!
Bes tregards,
TGV
TGV..Another superb video well done. Please can you rell me where you got that black carbon fibre strap? i have a beautiful black PAT chronograph watch by ' Porsche-design'..and thats the strap for it!!
an amazing intro! love the watch what about a rally strap for the real retro racer look?
EXCELLENT idea!!!!!
I have one somewhere, I will have to look for it.
Thank you
Best regards,
TGV
