After looking at additional instagram pictures a 36 without the diamond dial isn't bad.

Thank you that actually explains a lot.

Now can someone in China please confirm that they like this design? I’m not up in arms about it because it’s just not for me. I won’t be up in arms about the latest TT DJ releases tomorrow either...

I’m from Asia and this makes me want to vomit. So I don’t really think it’s designed for our particular part of the world. Bad design is bad design no matter where you are.

Wei Koh hilariously said this is a regional release, and you can tell when you see it...

Hmmmm......I must admit I have never seen it in person, so I am violating my unwritten rule to not fully judge until putting it on the wrist.

And I do agree that yours looks better than the two versions of which I posted pics.

I'm glad that you enjoy it and maybe I'll check it out in person sometime!

I wish Tudor would get rid of the #borntodare. Seems even more ridiculous when the “reveal” this hideously boring timepiece

Looks like a birth gone wrong between a Raymond Weil and Longines.

The comments on Tudor's Instagram are pretty savage too.

I just looked. I got a good laugh out of this one: "Good gravy that's awful. I'm assuming they released it now so as not to taint tomorrow's releases."

I think the waffle dial could grow on me, but I really don't like the inset date window.

Certainly it's not nice enough to get me to open my wallet. Is it gold plated, solid? Is the movement in house or out house. What's the pricing? Too many unanswered questions to pass any judgement other than that; I still don't want it.
