Incoming: My first Tudor!
Greetings fellow TRF'ers

To go along with my 114060 Sub, I wanted to get something a little more formal without necessarily going overboard with the budget. Being that my Sub is my #1 daily wearer and still will be, I'm not quite ready to jump into a TT DJ so instead I decided to go with a Tudor Prince Date model 74033.

This particular watch is from 2002 and is a two tone model with the gold fluted bezel and with Tudor's version of the jubilee bracelet. I was a little nervous about size since this watch is a 34mm but I think it's a great fit!

Time for photos:











I put the watch on a 19mm leather strap instead of wearing with the bracelet. Really brings out the warmth in the bezel and champagne dial.

Looks really good. I hope it gets some good time...I'm a bit partial to the Sub, it's my one and only (you make a strong case for another) Congrats!
