Tudor Black Bay Chrono 79350 (79350, M79350, BB Chrono, Black Bay Chrono). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono 79350 is one of the more accessible in-house chronograph offerings in the modern sports watch segment, and it draws consistent attention from buyers tracking value relative to comparable Swiss chronographs. Tonbo tracks this reference because it surfaces periodically in Japanese secondhand markets at prices that can create meaningful spread against US retail demand. The current US median for a Tudor Black Bay Chrono 79350 79350 sits at $3,500, placing it in a range where sourcing discipline matters. With comp quality noted as limited, buyers should treat that figure as directional rather than definitive.

Current US Market Value

The US median price for the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 79350 is currently $3,500, with the interquartile range running from $3,000 at the 25th percentile to $4,200 at the 75th. That $1,200 spread is wide relative to the median, which signals meaningful variance in how these trade depending on condition, box and papers status, and seller expectations. The comp pool here is small at six data points, and the 🟡 Limited comps flag is worth taking seriously. A six-transaction sample is enough to establish a rough anchor for 79350 price discussions, but not enough to treat the median as a tight market consensus. Anyone researching a 79350 for sale should expect individual listings to deviate from this range in either direction based on factors the median cannot capture.

Active JDM Listings

Japanese secondhand platforms are showing early-stage activity on this reference. The most recent observed listing appeared in the past 14 days, suggesting available supply in the JDM market for buyers looking to buy 79350 Japan. Activity is light but present, and the single recent data point provides a useful benchmark for current asking levels.

• May 20 listing on Mercari Japan asking ¥506,000
• Condition on the May listing was not specified in the source data
• At current exchange rates, ¥506,000 translates to a figure that warrants close comparison against the US median before factoring in import and authentication costs
• Mercari Japan listings for this reference category typically reflect individual seller pricing, which can run above or below organized dealer levels
• No additional platforms showed activity in the 14-day window, indicating this is a thinly traded reference in JDM channels at the moment

Recent Alert History

One alert fired on this reference in the past 90 days. On May 18, an activity-tier signal tracked a landed cost of $3,660 against a US median of $3,200 at the time of the alert, producing a gross margin of negative 14 percent. That outcome is a clear reminder that activity-tier alerts flag movement and potential opportunity, not confirmed profitability. The negative margin on that particular transaction reflects either condition discount risk, higher-than-expected import friction, or median pricing that did not reflect actual sell-through at the moment of resale. No strict-tier or opportunity-tier alerts have fired on this reference in the same window. For subscribers tracking signals on this model, the current picture is quiet with one cautionary data point in recent history.

Japan vs. US Price Gap

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono 79350 occupies a price tier where yen-denominated asking prices in Japan can appear attractive on paper, but the margin for error after shipping, import duties, authentication, and potential grading friction is narrow. The recent alert history confirms this: a landed deal came in at negative gross margin, which is the expected outcome when sourcing without tight comp coverage and condition verification. The primary risk factor for this reference is the combination of limited US comps and unspecified condition on JDM listings. A watch that photographs as excellent can grade significantly lower in person, and with a $1,200 interquartile spread in US pricing, condition is doing a lot of work in determining where a specific unit actually sells. Buyers considering this path should check current active deal opportunities before committing to any single sourcing decision.
