Tudor Fastrider Chronograph - Discussions

[VerticalHorizon]

Hello, folks.

Just wondering if anyone on the forum has one of these?
Specifically the one on metal bracelet? Did it come with a NATO strap in addition to the bracelet?

As well, if anyone has the spare NATO, I would love to take it off your hands!

Sample pic of what I'm getting. I honestly think it'll look great on the NATO!

That is really nice!

I bought this one before they started including the NATO with the SS bracelet. I prefer the bracelet, but had the PCLs brushed out.

Delicious watches, guys...much under appreciated around here.

I want to add a Chronograph watch, but the waiting time of the DaytonaC is way too long.
Is it worth to get this Tudor Fastrider Chronograph?

I like the Fastrider but prefer the Grantour personally. Both are similar but the racing stripe is to much of a gimmick to me; although I like the tie in with Ducati (andI do like the bikes) it really doesn't add to my desire for the watch.

Having been blessed to have two Tudor chronographs I can only say that I love them! The fastrider is definitely a great looking watch and I would expect the quality to be high up there.
The only think I don't like about it is having the date corrector in the opposite side of the case.

FWIW, the date corrector is at the 9:00 position on the side of the case similar to the He escape valve on an Omega. On the GT it is on the back side of the 10:00 lug and hidden from view.

Perhaps I should have explained it better. That was exactly what I meant on the opposite side in regards to the crown side...

Sorry, I suspected that but thought I'd clarify. How about having it on the lug like on the GT Chrono?

In truth I must admit to having a weakness to the Fastrider Black Shield but I've not seen one up close and personal yet. I like the idea of the ceramic case however.

From the aesthetics point of view I do not mind it at all. I think they have actually done a very good job with the Ducati shield emblem etc!
The only think that bugs me is that it is not easy to correct the date without a special tool.
I just prefer everything being controlled by easily accessible features such as the crown or the pushers!
If you like it I think you should go for it. I really do think that you will not be disappointed. It really is a beautiful watch!

I have used coffee stir stick, pencil, plastic fork....and the "shield" tool that came with the watch. Anything non-metallic and pointy
