DIY instructions!

Recommended tool.

Tips when installing deployant.

Tips to avoid scratches:)

petay993 · 21 November 2019, 03:12 AM

Ok Boss!

To remove the stock strap unclip the deployant and lay the watch face down and pull the strap away from the end link to reveal the raised lip of the spring bar.

Use a Bergeon fine fork spring bar removal tool or equivalent and from the back ease out the spring bar. You may want to tape the face of the end link lugs to prevent the spring bar marring it on its way out. If possible ease the spring bar out towards you so any marks are on the back of the link lug.

Repeat other end and curse as you look for the springbar on the floor.

Assuming you find it remove the deployant clasp from the stock strap.

To do this remove the safety catch with the etched Tudor logo by depressing the spring bar through the external lug hole. Then slide the spring bar out of the end of the strap and the deployant clasp comes away from the strap.

Remove the buckle from your Tropic or equivalent by depressing the spring bar and load the Tropic on to the Deployant then refit the engraved Tudor safety clasp. Any strap you buy for this piece must be pretty short as the length of the lugs and fixed first steel links take up a lot of space. The Watchgecko tropic 20mm is the shortest I can find and works ok on my 7.25 inch wrist.

If you want your clasp to have Tudor the correct way up you will need to fit your Tropic the wrong way round as this is how Tudor Deployants are configured. That is long piece at 12 rather than 6 as is usual when mounting a strap.

The clasp will not sit central unless you have a massive wrist as the Tropic is not designed for a deployant where the short end is normally super short as per the stock strap.

You could always forget the deployant and just run with the buckle supplied with your Tropic or source a more contemporary, period correct Acier type buckle.

Hope this helps

Quick update for the P01 club.

Finally worked the riveted Oyster on to the case with some different springbars.

Gives a nice change up look and comes off again without any fuss - bonus!

Looks good but I prefer the straps.

I went to the AD and tried one on...I thought the MSRP of $4950CDN was reasonable...I might go back. It's a polarizing watch but I really like it.

Do it.

I am enjoying the heck out of mine and have worn it almost exclusively since I purchased it and quite honestly I have no desire (at this time) to rotate watches. I enjoy playing with the locking mechanism and bezel at the office and it makes me happy each time I look at it (even more so than my Aquanaut or BLNR).

Of all the Tudor watches available the P01 is probably the only one I would buy because I would take my BLNR over any of the standard BB watches.

Cduff · 7 December 2019, 01:56 AM

I tried it on, the strap/deployment wasn't sized properly - I would have no problems wearing it.

Cduff · 7 December 2019, 12:00 PM

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m going to sleep on it, but will probably head back to the AD tomorrow.

The ask on the high side has been creeping up

Love to see what happens when they stop making it next year :)

Oh FATNinja you are opening a can of worms there brother

Who will be the first to ask ‘what proof do you have that they are stopping production?’

As an aside to this, did anyone see the comment from @misterrolex that the entire U.K. stock of the P01 is sold out? Not sure if an accurate statement

Lol

Just my expectation that it’s a very short run... and some speculation around Watch sales peeps :) that know some tudor folks... this watch was never intended to be a long production run...

Remember there is a p-02 ,3 and 4 still coming out. If I was to speculate...every 2 years we will get the next P-0x

This is going to end up like the Omega snoopy... just my personal view. Nothing more than speculation on my end :)

It's definitely interesting to see how this pan out. Luckily got my P01 3 weeks ago :)
