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

Near as I can tell, my (former) AD bought a few of these back in the day but couldn't sell them because they were a Rolex AD. They left them in the safe until after they lost their AD status when Rolex started reducing their outlets. I found out they had it this past spring. Finally I was able to get it. It is brand new (NOS) never worn with box and papers and was just sitting in a safe for all these years.
It's getting worn daily now. I've ordered a rubber strap because they tell me I may not be able to replace the leather (?) strap if it gets wrecked by water, use etc. I'll wear the rubber strap and put the original strap away for safe keeping.
Thanks for all the kind words.

Fantastic watch.

Where on earth do you get Tudors from? I've never even seen one.

They do like really, really good.
