Lucky day for me

Got this today.

I'm counting myself as pretty lucky to have found this watch brand new after all these years.

Thanks everybody. I'm really enjoying wearing this watch. It's a totally different look than my GMT.
I spoke with a salesperson yesterday. she saw the watch and said "Tudor... never heard of it."
Anonymity is good.

Fantastic watch! I wore one daily for almost 10 years until it was stolen off my bedside table during a burglary about 8 years ago. I really want to get another one before the prices go sky high.

Wear it in good health!

Yeah, like he said. Come on and spill the beans. Inquiring minds want to know.

Very nice find by the way. The red writing of Tiger looks killer with the silver dial.
