Well I will kick off this thread.

AND!!......Wow, it was a very quick "sell out" of initial stock.....

A couple of quick pics taken on my iPhone today.

Not the best shots, well I was in Vienna @ 08.50 this morning.

I have to admit for me, I prefer it on the supplied leather strap.

The straps that Tudors come on are all fantastic! I agree with you here.

Great watch!

I don't care for the leather brown strap ... would probably swap it with a distressed black one ... or possibly blue leather.

Too bad its not available in the USA.

Awesome Watch!!!!! Since this is now limited to Bucherer does that mean Tudor cannot bring this model to wide spread distribution?

Congrats!

that's a pretty good looking BBBronze color combo. I wasn't a fan of the original BBBronze

What a great club to be in. I love the nylon strap. Tudor OEM straps are killer.

Thanks again folks.

I am truly lucky to be given the opportunity to own this fine watch.

I must thank the contact at my super "preferred" AD for his help and
thoughtfulness, not all AD's are the same, as well we know.

It is a shame that many will not be able to enjoy it, due to the unexpected
high demand.

AND...........

Great looking watch. I hope that when the LE watches are sold that Tudor will release the watch minus the engraved case back. I believe that this would be very short sighted on Tudors part to just do this for one dealer when this watch would be an instant hit for those of us who are into modern Tudor's. Time will tell but they are not going to leave those sales on the sideline.

Tudor are killing it in the last few years. I'm afraid only the standard black bay bronze is in my foreseeable future.
