Got the call today and went to pick it up…

My AD just called me and I went right away to swipe the card. I absolutely love the 39mm, the thickness, the cream vintage colors with a matching date wheel, the bezel is gorgeous!! And the crown is simply the right one. The clasp is so so good looking and I like it better than on the SubC. Much needed. Easier to adjust. The matte black dial and the splash of yellow. I can’t believe to get such value for the price I paid.

Totally recommended. My favorite Tudor in the catalog by FAR!!

I saw that watch at my AD recently, unfortunately it was spoken for. I asked them to save the next one for me. It is a real beauty! Congratulation!

A spectacular watch. The 1655 is my favourite vintage Rolex.

A picture of the Clasp, please.

Thank you Vesper. I’ve never had such a bezel (aka, older style 40mm explorer IIs) — 1655 is one of the most beautiful sport Rolex ever made.

Here I made a photo so you can check out the clasp. I really love it.

That new clasp is amazing.

Can't wait for this clasp on every other model in the Tudor range.

Yes! Me too. It’s so much easier to adjust the position than in the Submariner.

Very nice watch. Will have to investigate when the noise has died down.

Guess they didn't request a wire for a Tudor? LOL...sorry bad joke from my 2 posts.

Anyway, congrats!!! That's a great looking watch and the new clasp looks awesome.

I'm looking forward to seeing this piece in person.

How does it wear? Like the Tudor GMT?

I just completely love how it wears. 39mm makes its thickness not bad at all. Makes it go unnoticed. The clasp is truly amazing and better designed than the submariner’s

Not really a fan, maybe need to see it in person.

Something is off with the bezel markings to me. The balance is out by the font or something.

Hey John. You really need to see it in person. On the photos it didn’t talk to me either.
