Incoming neo vintage or modern?
Hey guys just picked up this blue Tudor sub from a dealer. It’s my first unpolished piece with beveled edges. Definitely my new favorite. Would you consider this to be neo vintage or vintage or perhaps modern?

Not sure how I'd classify it, other than as beautiful!

Great pick-up!

Congrats…I’m no expert, but I informally categorize that generation as neo-vintage. Great watch, great color. Wear in good health

Wow, what a stunner.
Gee, the aluminium bezels in this era sure make a difference in the overall look. Better look than ceramics I’m thinking….

When the hell is Tudor going to remake something resembling this?!

Congratulations, my favorite Tudor by a mile.

Yeah, it'd be a licence to print money if they did.

Lovely! I don’t like the “neo vintage” terminology, but I’d go with “classic” instead. Much like i would call any 5 digit Rolex.
