No. 1, hell yes. No. 999, hell yes.

No. 7 yes and no. I don't think so for the reasons that people think. They are not numbering them all with 3 digits. So No. 7 will be numbered like that, not as No. 007.

Though I have not personally seen a single digit number I have seen a 2 digit number and it is was numbered in this format. No. 50 which leads me to believe they are doing them all like this.

I bet the first 10+ are in the Tudor vault or at least with their CEO and management etc. But when they hit the auction block they will go crazy.

I was told by my AD the first run which is one per store will be the only ones with the numbers. So I am assuming if there is a second run they will not be numbered.

Please share if you already got one and what your number is! I figure it can't be more than 999 cus the engraving at the back is only large enough for 3 numbers...unless they reduce the font. That's just a guess anyway. If so it would be highly collectable down the road.
I'm thinking maybe all the lucky number 8s went to Asia...
I would say if you can get it and you want it buy it regardless of number.

I totally agree with this statement. I don't believe they would go beyond 999. Only 1 allocated per store from what I can tell. I was fortunate to grab one on Saturday

My AD received 2 but they are fairly large.

Why 007? Is it a secret agent's number?

Yes. In the next James Bond movie 007 is going to wear a LHD Pelagos. I saw it on the internet. LOL.

Besides which what significance does 007 have in regard to a Tudor anyway?

I saw one today at one of my AD's. Have to say I was very surprised that I really liked it. Forgot to snap a pick but really loved the cream. Number 32 or 34, can't remeber which. Thinking I may grab it.

Is this any rightie's first left-hand watch? If so, what do you like and not like about it? Can you see it becoming a daily wearer?

I am right handed and have been wearing it on my left hand since buying it on the 17th. I have hung my nose over a Pam Destro for a while and when this was announced I was first on list at my AD. It is superbly comfortable it and as of this morning it has lost 3 seconds since setting on the first day.
