Hi all,

I am looking at a tudor fastrider in ceramic and wanted to know what is the button on the left side at 9, is it a button and if yes what is it's function or is it a helium escape valve? An escape valve would be strange since it's IMO not a dive watch, but don't know.

Can anyone explain what is that?

And also if the owners could post a few pics of this piece would be great.

I want a ceramic watch with which I can go swimming and it seems not a bad choice, what do you think? If actual owners can give me their opinion on the watch, the pluses and minuses that would be great.

Thanks for your replies

I'm thinking of picking one up too. Can't decide if I want to pull the trigger.

There has been discussion on watch movements lately. The Fastrider uses Tudor's modified 7753 movement, not the 2892 of the Heritage Chronos. Not sure that makes any difference, just thought I would point it out.

I like the Fastrider in person very much.

It's a cool looking watch, always wanted a ceramic watch but the ones I like were too expensive, this one is ok on the price IMO...

I love the Fastrider, though not crazy about the ceramic version.
