Finally available everywhere. Not bad. Would have to see one in the flesh, but seems like a good deal.

Could have been a triump: Royal Oak / Nautilus looks with Tudor pricing and reliability. It’s almost like they didn’t want the watch to be a huge success so they ruined it with the engine turned bezel and Roman numerals.

I like it, 41mm with the day and date. But it's an ETA so... next ! I can understand for the price but the movement is primordial for me.

I’m warm on it. I am not in love with the hybridish bezel. Would have to see one in person.

I have the Tudor Prince 76200 2019 NOS. Overall, its an okay watch. I mostly wear it in the office given its only 11mm and very light plus its NOT a Rolex to avoid some weird looks. To me 41mm is too large for this watch...maybe its only 39.5? I would have liked it better if the 38mm came the with day window on top.

100% agree. Servicing gets so expensive when everything is in-house. Sometimes I wonder how many people here actually keep their watches long enough to need servicing. Aside from Rolex, I actually seek out watches with ETA-based movements now.

But I digress. The Tudor in question is a cool idea, I’d need to see it in the metal to form a real opinion.

I have already asked my AD for it. I love it!!!

A lot people have been knocking it as a RO knock off. I disagree. Gerald Genta designed the Rolex Quartz 5100 in 1969. The 5100 has an integrated bracelet, and to me looks like and case shape of the RO but ... one key point. The RO didn't come out until 1972.

Does nothing for me. I see Tudor as nothing more than a rival to Tissot. That said Tissot has much nicer options.

I think its a fail on many levels.

1) I abhor went date/day windows cut off numbers or Roman numerals. This dial is definitely an offender.
2) The bezel looks awful

Don’t forget even patek can’t fit everything on their dials and morph things

One of their best has the most peculiar warping of the tachymeter via the sub dial at 6 on the amazing 5270

Rolex Wimbledon dial with their stick at 9

AP offshores cutoff numbers

And the date with the III looks bad too

But I do like the integrated bracelet

I don't see someone who wanted a President settling for one of these. It's just Tudor's latest Date+Day watch. Could be surprising this one. I mean if someone hasn't got much funds wouldn't they just buy an old Omega Constellation or cheaper still some £200 offering from Seiko? With a Day wheel to boot? I think these will be more popular than some folks think.

I think the watch is great for the design and what Tudor is trying to do with this watch. Is it for everyone? No, of course not but it is for me once I see it in person and the fit is good. Look at the price point for a fun watch. I am down for the first on from my AD. Can't wait.

if its 20-30% off online without tax...you can pick u a 41mm Tudor built watch with date for less than 2000 USD. I think that's a fine option at <2000 range.
