Relaxing with a vintage today

Like a favorite old comfortable pair of shoes this Tudor Date + Day is the perfect lazy Sunday watch. That is after I fix the toilet upstairs, a 30 mile bike ride, pack for London, and finish emails and paperwork.

Tudor did but called it the Date + Day nicknamed the "jumbo" [38mm, 40 w/ bezel] from 1970 till 1979.

Great pic....I can't seem to want to wear my 1680 since I got my 16700 and Jubilee..which sucks because I have $7k vs $3.8k invested in it.

Thanks, everybody!!

That's my cycling tan [burnt on top, rare on the bottom] but I've been traveling so much I haven't had time to do much. Sun in London? Well, I'll find out tonight [or tomorrow morning]. London, here we come!

Dang, I must pay more attention, don't get on here much these days. Anyway, there will be so much to do & see you won't have time to worry about the weather, and who knows, in this current financial down turn, you might even find a nice cheap Tudor sub, have fun.
