Incoming Tudor
My wife wanted to get me a watch for my birthday in May. She said no way to getting me a batman and gave me a 4-5k budget for something else. I've been eyeing the Tudor black fastrider and was considering the red Ducati one but decided it would be too hard to read the watch with all that black and the little bit of red. I also thought about the black and white but wasn't quite sold on it either. Plus I'm not a fan leather or rubber straps.

So.... I did some more window shopping and came across some older SS fastriders and I found this one online for a reasonable price brand new. Its a discontinued model but was never worn. Wife ordered it on Saturday and it arrived today.

I think the Tudor watches don't get enough appreciation on here.

Congrats on your new piece! I think you picked the best looking fast rider... it’s a classic design that will look great for years to come.

Thanks, I had the same thought. Was trying to get the white one but all that was available was the ones with Arabic numbers. Not a fan of numbers on the dial.
