I'd be very surprised if anyone has one so early on.
I think it would be more likely in about a month, but we shall see, what we shall see.

Here's one that shows the blue nicely. I wanted the Roman numerals version, but they only had this, which the AD claimed was the only diamond version in HK. I wasn't digging it, so my wife's friend in HK took it.

I like what Tudor has done with this. These SS blueys are going to be hot. We all know it.

This one is barely better. The proportions are wrong. The diamonds seem too small for the dial. Minute hand looks too long for some reason. |

Agreed - not sure why they could not do align the numerals around the day window, just looks like they cut a hole out of a date only dial. Strange they did not Just follow the Day date solution for this seemingly basic dial design task.

Would love to add it to the collection! Not in NA just yet though. Would also like to see other combinations. Tired of seeing blue

it's a nice watch, but the Tudor logo is really killing me.

No offense to the guy who has it, but it looks so cheap. It looks like a cheap fashion watch to me. None of the proportions look right to my eye.

I agree. I think this is a major, major miss. The design is awful. Throw in the integrated bracelet for a complete fail.

Nah big pass. Looks like a bunch of watches had a group romp and out came this horrid thing.

Horrible. Looks like one that street vendors sells. It’s killing the brand.

To me, the dial is an utter disaster.
I think that a more proportioned dial could make this watch a winner. Tudor has done so many great things in the last decade or so, that I'm astonished at this design.

Got to say I'm not a fan of this new release, it looks like something that would fit the Tudor range from 15 years ago. It will be interesting to see how it sells.
