What the differences cost you

Each note below follows from the published figures in the tables above — what they mean for intake, for a listing, and for the handover. Nothing here estimates a price or a margin.

These reach different buyers

41 mm on the M79360N-0011 against 39 mm on the M79470-0001. Diameter is a poor predictor of how a watch actually sits, but it is the field buyers filter on, so the two land in front of different people. Do not let one listing's photographs or copy stand in for the other.

Different movements to verify and to service

The M79360N-0011 runs the Manufacture Calibre MT5813 and the M79470-0001 the Manufacture Calibre MT5652. Two consequences at intake: the service history that is normal for one calibre is not evidence about the other, and the calibre is the check that catches a movement swapped into the wrong case. Confirm the movement matches the reference rather than assuming it from the dial.

What to check on each

M79360N-0011

  • Unscrew both pushers before testing the chronograph. They thread down against the case and will not operate until released, and pressing a screwed-down pusher can damage its tube.
  • Screw both pushers and the crown back down afterwards and confirm each seats flush, since the 200-metre rating depends on all three.
  • Run the chronograph for several hours rather than clicking it, because a movement short of amplitude gives itself away under the load of a running chronograph.

M79470-0001

  • Do not try to turn the bezel. TUDOR specifies it as fixed, so an immovable bezel is correct and forcing it is how a good example gets damaged.
  • Confirm the 24-hour bezel is satin-brushed steel with no rotating insert, which distinguishes this reference from the GMT models in the same family.
  • Run the T-fit rapid adjustment through its positions and confirm each one locks under a firm pull.
