Got the text! Tudor FXD Chrono Cycling Edition

Shipping today. Should have it Monday. I really like these carbon FXD, guess I’m collecting them all

My AD in Texas is including a Tudor Racing hat too. Is it bad that the hat excites me more than the watch?

Anyway, these have officially landed. Will post wrist shots next week.

Yes carbon cased like the Redbull, but with a smooth bezel.

That looks really sharp. I'm not familiar with that version but I really like the overall look.

Just followed your link and yeah that's a very cool watch.

Great looking. I am on the list, supposedly first, at my AD for this one. Glad to see that they are finally arriving.

Really looks great. I’ve been thinking of picking up some of these new tudors. They’re doing some cool stuff.
Made an offer on one yesterday and the guy never got back to me.
This one is very cool. Strap looks great

Underwater cycling. Maybe this should be an Olympic sport.

Hope you have all had a great week. Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition” arrived Monday as planned!

Major heartbreak, however, no hat was included. Turns out it was already promised to another customer.

And on that terrible disappointment, we will move onto the timepiece.

First impression was great! I like the carbon case, dial and smooth bezel a lot. It is striking with great legibility. This is quite slim and will easily slide under a cuff, which my other FXD chrono will not.

The timepiece is very light and the strap is super comfortable. I do prefer the Velcro straps found on other FXD models. I didn’t realize how much I have come to like Velcro until I tried on this pin buckle.

Chronograph movement is very crisp to activate, has a wonderful feel. Chrono function is aided by this timepieces superb legibility.

After the initial, positive first impressions, serious concerns struck me like a ton of bricks.

First, this is a “cycling edition” watch. Do you know the type of people this watch is made for? People who wear obnoxiously tight “cycling shorts”. Yes, those shorts. The shorts that show off more than any sane person wants to see. I couldn’t pull off that look, nor should I try.

Second, I’m not comfortable riding a peddle bike during rush hour traffic, causing everyone else in the world to be late for work, all while forcing those same people to stare at my butt in those obnoxiously tight shorts.

I became seriously uncomfortable with the thought of being associated with that crowd. Now sure, submariner owners don’t usually drive their submarine to work either. But I’ve never wanted to drive over a submariner driver with my truck.

A mind can be a terrible thing.

I’m sure my sales rep will come through with a cycling edition hat eventually. They sent me this one, not long ago. Exceptional quality cap!!! I like having a hat that matches a watch, even though I don’t wear hats.
