Best $2400US I've spent on a watch so far

I've flipped a lot of watches this year but I think this beauty is a keeper. Love the 2 line dial, the comfort, the lume, the tool watch feel, and the price. I really can't ask for a better daily beater. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing one of these ETA beauties while they are $500 less than their in-house counterparts preowned.

I can't agree with you more. This truly is a beauty. And it goes well both with the steel and rubber bracelets.

Congrats on a great looking Tudor! I think the ETA is a great movement and the fastest to start after just a couple of full winds. Enjoy your yellow gold Sub too when it arrives. Cheers!

They are both great. The blue Pelagos was another winner. I decided I wanted black this time as it is more versatile. IMO if you are getting a black Pelagos the ETA is the way to go due to the dial being much cleaner.


Thanks everyone! :D
