Tudor Black Bay 41 79680 (79680, M79680, BB 41, Black Bay 41). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis

The Tudor Black Bay 41 79680 is one of the more closely watched mid-range sport watches in the gray market, sitting at a price point that attracts both first-time buyers and traders looking for consistent turnover. The reference trades under several designations including M79680, BB 41, and Black Bay 41, which matters for search coverage when hunting inventory across Japanese platforms. At a current US median of $3,050, the 79680 price sits in a range that makes JDM sourcing a plausible play when the spread works out. Tonbo tracks this reference because Japanese secondary market platforms surface it with enough regularity to generate actionable data.

Current US Market Value

The Tudor Black Bay 41 79680 is currently trading at a US median of $3,050, with the middle 50 percent of transactions falling between $2,750 and $3,400. That $650 interquartile spread is moderately wide for a watch at this price tier, which tells you condition and completeness are doing meaningful work on the final number. It is worth noting that this analysis is built on a sample of six comparable sales, which earns a 🟡 Limited comps flag. The directional read on the 79680 price is reasonable, but anyone making a sourcing decision should treat the range as an estimate rather than a tight benchmark until more transaction data accumulates. Watches at either end of that spread are not anomalies pulling the number in one direction.

Active JDM Listings

Recent Japanese market activity for the 79680 for sale shows two listings surfaced in the past two weeks across domestic platforms, with asking prices that translate into a meaningful discount versus the US median once import costs are factored in. The listings span a couple of major Japanese resale channels and cover different condition grades, which is useful for understanding where the floor sits locally.

• May 30, Komehyo: ¥500,000, listed as close to unused condition
• May 21, Japanese platform listing: ¥550,000, described as good condition
• Both listings appeared within a 10-day window, suggesting at least moderate domestic supply
• The higher-priced May 21 listing carried a lower condition grade than the May 30 piece, a reversal worth noting for condition-adjusted comparisons
• At current exchange rates, both listings fall below the US p25 threshold before fees and shipping are added

Recent Alert History

Japan vs. US Price Gap

The US-Japan price gap on the Black Bay 41 79680 is driven by the same dynamics that affect most Tudor sport references in the JDM market. Japanese collectors and resellers tend to price on domestic demand curves, and Tudor occupies a different cultural position in Japan than it does in the US, where brand perception has been climbing steadily alongside increasing Rolex association. The result is that well-kept examples occasionally surface in Japan at prices that create a workable spread after fees, shipping, and any import handling are accounted for. The main risk here is the combination of thin US comps and condition variance. With only six comparable sales on record, a watch that arrives in slightly worse shape than described can land in a pricing tier that compresses or eliminates the anticipated margin. Anyone looking to buy 79680 Japan should weight condition documentation heavily and factor that 🟡 comp quality flag into their floor price math. Typical JDM sourcing risks around platform communication and authentication processes also apply. You can review currently tracked deals across multiple references at the Tonbo deals page.
