For those with the Tudor 70330 Blue

I've been considering a 70330B. Could I please ask the people that bought them, is it a keeper or have you got bored with them quite quickly ?
It's just the watch is quite different, I can't think of anything else quite like it on the market right now.
Thanks

It's a keeper!

I Purchased mine in early December and it has been on my wrist almost every day since then. The color and symmetry of the dial combined with the vintage look make for a winning combination. The size is perfect, not too big and not too small. Once you've worn it for a while, a submariner will look small. The 2892 winds smoothly and is running within COSC specs. The build quality is excellent, and the quality of the box and woven strap are a nice bonus. It is a nice complement to my humble collection of a 16610 and a Doxa 1200t professional. As you can see I like watches with a historical background. For me, this one is a keeper.

Nice I'd like to see a pic of the Doxa!

Thank you Don. I've been thinking of one for a while. I had a 750T a while ago and should have kept it

Jim, I purchased this one direct from Doxa for well under 2K. It was delivered from Euope to my door in two days! I started to want one after seeing the movie Sahara and watching triple D with Guy Fieri. That show makes me hungry too! Haha

Hi,

I’m going to keep mine. In fact I’m wearing it right now. I use it regularly; cycling, jogging, etc…
I think I’ve had it for more than half a year now? Something like that. If I was going to flip it anytime soon, then I would have probably done so not too long after buying it. So the fact that I didn’t, must mean that it’s going to be a keeper for some considerable time to come.

I find that after I’ve bought any watch, that I quite quickly know whether I’m going to get on with it. How it fits on the wrist and the weight of the watch. If I feel a watch is not for me, then I would move that watch on.

I particularly like the 1970’s look about the blue Monte Carlo. I like things from the ’70’s.

All the very best.

Till next time…

The Laird

Tried one at the AD a few months back. I went in to look at the Black Bay and the Pelagos but none of them really sung to me. The THC, on the other hand, really felt good on my wrist.
I am seriously considering to get one now! I loved the look and presence, and the nato strap as well.

Don't own the blue but love my grey dial THC. Amazing accuracy, gorgeous multi faceted easy to read dial, and tons of useable features. What's not to like?

Thanks for the responses, ordered the blue from Italy today, hopefully I'll have by the end of the week.
Once it arrives and I'm happy I will order some custom end links from George. I see you have them DP, are they easy enough to fit and is there a maximum thickness the strap can be ?

End links are very easy to fit and can make strap exploring a blast. Yes, there is a maximum the end links will allow. Don't know that exact measurement but you will have plenty of room to enjoy most straps.

I'm still adding to the options.
