Happy Friday - New piece.
Finally pulled the trigger on a FXD. First impressions are very strong. Lightweight and very comfortable. Enjoy the matt blue dial and bezel. Something different in the collection. Exactly what was desired. This is my second Tudor. Tudor is really hitting home runs nowadays. And this is coming from someone who was for years a "Rolex or nothing" type of person....

I was the same. Rolex or nothing before I got my BB58. I really love how much it reminds me of the 5 series references from Rolex. Tudor is now the more tool focused brand which definitely resonates with me. Tudor value (espeically used) is unquestionable.
FXD is the king of the tool divers (along with OG Pelagos)! I’d like to get one (in black) too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats, I had a great Friday too today picking up my first AD experience Rolex in a decade...
EXPLORER They took off all plastics, removed the bezel protector and retained the outer box sleeve...Oh well, the watch is what counts and it looks great!! The FXD is super cool....enjoy!

I picked up the FXD recently myself. It's a great size and as you said, it's very lightweight and comfortable, and I reach for it more often than my Sub LV. The lume, especially on the bezel, is outstanding. Best of luck with yours.
The Tudor releases keep getting better, and they're (mostly) available. Wish they could make a bracelet for it, although the supplied Nato is high quality. The one that came with the watch was too short for me, but the AD ordered me a long one and swapped it out. |

Congratulations, Steve. You should have started your own incoming thread. Which Explorer did you purchase? |

Congrats and great choice!
I picked up the black FXD not too long ago and have owned the blue in the past. Probably my favorite release Tudor has made, ever. Wears so well on a variety of nylon straps. |

Congrats! The MN is sweet. I picked up the black a few months ago and use it as my “work” watch although, I find myself grabbing for it on all kinds of occasions. Definitely a lot of bang for the buck.

Congrats OP - looks great & hope you enjoy.
I would be interested to hear how you’re finding it after a few weeks. I’m tempted by this model, and whilst I think I have a slight preference to the black version, I’m currently without a blue watch in the collection, and already have a number of black dials… |

Cool piece! Love both colors, though the concept bugs me, a bit. I’m more of a bracelet person. Kudos to you guys though. They look great on both of you. Wear them in good health.
