Very nice indeed. Hails back to the days when Rolex/Tudor were more concerned with function than form, a true tool watch.
This ancestor, a 1976 7020 TOG remains in my rotation because its just a damn useful watch. :) |

Thanks Richard, I have long been a fan of the rotating bezel D+D myself.

Thanks for your review! Went out and picked up the near mint version below. I'm finding it hard to wear any other watch for the last month as the 76200 is so comfortable!

They really are fantastic watches that fly under the radar.
I have the California dial model with the Mercedes hands. The 36mm size wears a tad small on my wrist. I was going to sell mine as I had picked up a Hydronaut and a 79263 steel/gold Tudor Tiger chrono, but instead I gave it to my wife and she loves it. It's big for her wrist, but she alternates it with her Hydronaut. It's the only way I could really justify keeping it and not selling it. |

Why are these only available in Hong Kong? It's not fair!!!! They should be for sale in the USA too.

Thanks. I find the bezel does give engineering look. Different from the usual fluted bezel. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you Adam, you gave me a lot of insight regarding these models, I went a different route and grabbed this for a song, a mid 80's 75304 Jumbo in NM condition. It came with the original Oyster bracelet, also NM condition, but I'm trying to source one of these Prince bracelets, I read that some of them were offered with SEL(?) For now I gave it a new Horween Shell Cordovan strap. Still loving these, I'd love to add a black dial 76214 if I can find one! Next trip to Asia.

I have never heard of that dial being referred to as a "doorknob" dial. Is that a name you came up with? I could find no other reference to a Rolex doorknob dial on Google as well. I have heard it called a piepan dial presumably because of the ridge around the perimeter. |

Have been loving my black faced 76200 since I picked it up a few months ago, so when the opportunity to pick up this silver faced one presented itself, had to jump on it as well! Always been a fan of the linen dialed datejusts so this modern version really appealed to me.

Beautiful stories and pics of one of my prior dream watches.
For the record, I spotted quite a few 36mm Tudor Cyclops day-dates at the duty free airside store at the Taipei Taoyuan international airport. It was tempting.. Sent from my HTC_2Q4D100 using Tapatalk |

Wow, what model is this one and what year it is?
I always thought these were 70 or 80 and vintage (which is very difficult to find in US). If you can find it new in HK AD, mind to share the address. Next time I can ask my family get me one. Thanks! |

The ref number is 76200 and it was bought new this year. Most ADs here should have them. You just have to shop around a little.

I remember some AD in Mong Kok near Sino center 2 years ago. Maybe they have it?

I am embarrassed to say I did not know Tudor made a day date. This is the type of post where you can learn something new! Thanks for the post.

this is amazing! I am going to be in HK next week, definitely going to be on the hunt for these!!!
What are all the dial options for the modern brand new ones you can still buy in HK? |

In theory, most of what you see in post #43 except the California and pink romans. In practice, stock seems to be thinning out, so you might have to grab what you can find. I'm on the lookout for a blue sticks. Found a black sticks last week.
