Really Beautiful Tudor...

Never heard a lot about Tudors but this watch made me look twice; it's really striking for me. They used a Breitling base movement.

I like it also, but haven’t seen it in person.

It's a great watch, as long as you don't need the chrono between 2 and 4 O'clock.

The Black Bay Chrono is one of their few duds for me. Been really loving stuff overall from Tudor though.

Frankly, this is so much watch for the money compared to others, can’t go wrong IMHO...

I’ve tried it on at my AD. Was super impressed. But the chrono only goes to 45 minutes.

Yeah maybe. Not a Tudor guy I guess.

I was so excited when it was released, instantly put a deposit down for one. Tried one on while on vacation in Salzburg and passed. While the watch looks balanced and pleasing to look at, it is a substantial thick and top heavy when worn. I tried hard to overcome the top heavy feel but I had to pass. After owning multiple Rolexes, I just can't justify having to deal with unbalanced watch. Rolex watches are just so perfectly balanced and feel light when worn. Including the super case models like the GMT IIc. Sorry Tudor, please make them thinner or maybe a bit lighter and more balanced instead of top heavy. I will pick one up in a flash.

I tried one on with the bund strap and it is pretty awesome. Never thought I'd like that strap but it really looked great with the watch.

To clarify, the one I tried was on a bracelet.

Have seen this watch multiple times and it is definitely a looker! Especially on the two tone style bracelet. I still have a preference for the Tudor Heritage Chronograph line which in my opinion looks much better and is more representative of Tudor’s design DNA
