Tudor naming not consistent?
During the re-issue, Tudor released various models and none of them had names on the dial. Pelagos, Black Bay, Heritage Chrono, Ranger, so on.
Now, they released a new model with in-house movements and call it North Flag and still continue not naming it North Flag on the dial. Then you update existing model Fastrider in various colors and not name the dial. But for the Pelagos re-issue where there is tons of new text cluttered and you add the name Pelagos to the dial ruining the dial balance. Either name it or don't but be consistent. Honestly, IMO every watch should have name printed on its dial especially the sports models.I don't see any logic or consistency in this. Either don't name anything on the dial or start naming all Tudor models. Okay, I get it they didn't do it last few years but they could at least correct it with Pelagos and do the same thing with North Flag. Why to leave North Flag out of it? Why not Tudor's 1st in-movement watch doesn't have a name on the dial and another re-issue has? |

Agree, either go with Rolex text or Tudor but don't mix

Yeah I wish they stuck with the two liner Pelagos dial. But rolex loves mucking up dials with text, it's akin to putting bumper stickers on a sports car but what the heck, rolex does what they want.

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Really.

tudors were never steadfast on that naming rule so in essence, they're consistent with it.
if anything, the SWISS MADE font should have been toned down. |

Too much text is too much!

I think whatever looks best on the dial is better than a name/no name rule. I'm just wondering why they put that Rotor Self-winding line on the Pelagos, a non-Heritage watch.
