Great read! Thanks for the link. A square crown guard 7928 would be my ultimate Tudor.

Catanachs jewellers still exist today in Melbourne so that old 30's piece is interesting.
On another matter I think it's about time Hodinkee openly disclosed the nature of the commercial association they have with the Rolex/Tudor companies when they publish such articles. It would be the credible thing to do. |

That was good, even if only a 30K foot view, as some important references were missing. But that is where we get to chase, then fill in the details.
That prototype was killer - lots of people having palpitations now Hahaha - If only everyone disclosed their associations, well...

"Over the past few years, there has been an increased interest in the historical watches from the Tudor Watch Company – no doubt due to the fantastic modern watches shown by the brand. We're talking the Heritage Chronograph, the Black Bay, the Pelagos, the Heritage Advisor, and the Ranger." Give us a break. That reads as advertorial not journalism. |

BTW I've always been a fan of Wallace Shawn and The Princess Bride. He's not exactly Steve McQueen, but he's very cool in his own way. |

Sorry but the video is particularly creepy. I think Mel Brooks could have had some fun with that. And please, get a shave before going on camera.

He is not really a 'third party'. He has a commercial arrangement with the brand for goodness sake. He is promoting it. Anyway, enough said.

Hodinkee articles and reviews on Tudor watches do read like paid advertorial. They also run a very official looking Tudor chat room, and the "Welcome Back Tudor" video they produced when Tudor returned to the US market is pretty cringeworthy. They should declare or clarify their interest if they want to be taken seriously as an impartial resource. I've never read anything even remotely negative about Tudor on Hodinkee. An I'm a big fan of Tudor, with several pieces in my collection.

As much as I know they 'love' Tudor I assume they have not been running the ads for free. No problem accepting a commercial arrangement, just disclose it. Standard practice now in travel journalism for example. Now I've really said my piece, back to more enjoyable topics. http://tudorwatch.hodinkee.com
