Double Incoming!!
The MilgaussGV is gone.

Yes, it makes me very sad. But it was sadder only wearing the watch a few times a year. It sat in the box and it needs a better home.

DavidSW - you are amazing and these Tudor's are f'ing amazing!!

I had a few in the past which are long gone... but my goodness, Tudor has come a long way, long way with their new in-house movements AND additional lineups.

The quality of these watches are so above their ASPs - it just blows my mind... and outside of the North Flag being my all time favorite, the revised Black Bay (miles ahead of the previous gen) and that riveted bracelet (yeah I know but don't care)... is a real stunner.

Here are my 2 new Tudors that WILL get plenty of wrist time.

Major Attributes:
- Movement is butter... how did they pull this one off?
- Glad the Rose is gone
- Straight lines and of course COSC
- Quality - definitely upmarket and nothing out there in the price range compares... period. As nice as my Explorer II 216570.
- Impression, wow...

The North Flag is a stunner too... A purity with these little hints of polish that sparkle in the right situations. It's a brilliantly designed watch. Sometimes... it even has a mirror finish. And on the leather strap, the case really stands out and is made like no other case I've handled in a long time. I'm going to order the bracelet soon.

These watches need to be seen and handled in person... photos just do not come close to the experience you get in person.

Could not agree more with your assessment of Tudor. They are incredible.

I think DavidSW got the better end of the deal. But to each his own.

Picked up a BB 2 days ago, but with leather strap.

Delighted with it and after 2 days it's running bang on time, I'm astounded
