Either way I don't see it being a destro watch. Seems like a very small niche play and not Rolex like. |

It's not that strange. Winding and setting a watch when off the wrist is easier with the crown on the right hand side for right-handed users. It is for me anyway...I just tried it.

This kind of hype, suspense, and marketing.
This better be a new watch or a BB that will knock our collective socks off. |

I've heard that the crown to fist orientation is due to the large crown hand crankers of old, being regularly wound while on the wrist |

I always tend to get all wrapped up in the new releases Tudor does because their value is excellent IMHO. The last one (BB Bronze) I passed on initially as my AD has a VIP that is local and he assured me he could get me another one when I wanted one. I have bought a red BB and a THC blue since then. Not really felt the need to scratch the bronze itch as of yet, but I did just sell my other bronze diver. I did pick up the black BB ETA after some time as I was afraid they would dry up. And they have. Thought I would need a blue Pelagos but the dial text had had me content with my 2 line ETA. I am not sure about how I would feel about an another solid color dial/bezel combo. No matter what it was, if the dictionary remained. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

lots of eagle-eye fans here pointed out the square in the teaser matches the square on the Pelagos page. I think this calls for a photoshop. Here, done by yours truly:

I've never had that problem. Are you wearing the watch slightly snug and above (the elbow side) the wrist bone?

A Pelagos black dial with some red lettering and made for us southpaws (although I'm not sure if I am even interested in the crown there). What did I win?

Snug, yes. And above the wrist bone, yes. My wrist is of average size but very flat. This has never been a big problem for me. But I do notice it certain days with certain pieces more than others. Used to really notice it with my bronze diver as it would leave a little green spot when I wore it. This is how I wear my watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

but, let's face it, this is what we REALLY want (hear that, Rolex, Tudor?).
.....and everyone on the forums be like: p.s. its HIGHLY unlikely this would ever happen obviously. It would step on batman GMT's toes. |
