I love how subtle the markers look compared to other diamond models.
One got to look closer to realize markers are diamonds.
Congrats.

Thanks very much mate. I feel very lucky indeed to have been able to pick this up. After I posted on IG, a nice fella reached out to inquire as to how I got mine as he had been looking for months. He found one for sale but the condition was not great, and parts that were supposed to have a brushed finish were polished smooth. Hope hes able to source one, too.

Great question, I'll have to ruminate on that haha but I like the suggestion here for Papa Smurf

Do we get to know who the Rolex Ambassador is?

Or is that too much of a personal question

I've seen it once at LHR, i'm not a fan of the flat dial and diamonds.

What matters is that you like it, enjoy your new watch!

Like the diamond markers .Impression more of the 5 digit dials compared to the maxi dials of the 6 digits .Makes the dial look larger and more balanced .
Great acquisition !

Maybe polishing your serial number away is also a good idea.

Congrats with the watch. Looks great.

This is by far the best iteration of the smurf in my opinion. I think it was only made for a handful of year with the diamonds

I agree. I believe you're correct, would love to know just how long it was in production. The Smurf is already a low-volume piece so I'd imagine the production numbers on this are relatively quite low.

I’m not. I was just curious as to who the Ambassador was.

I thought maybe a celebrity, because David Beckham is an ambassador for Tudor I believe.

Anyway, congrats on a gorgeous watch!

That’s a hell of an incoming. Congrats.

Typically I haven’t been huge on the smurf, and typically I’m not huge on diamonds overall (some on certain models are fine depending on presentation), but this combination looks fantastic on this and in my opinion really makes the watch.
