it basically says (very basically because remember, i lazy at this) the following (no laughs please)...

- tudor didn't go fancy on the decorating of the calibre to save costs and still offer a COSC at the same price as the ETA. sandblasting instead of cotes de genve etc...

- tudor's main goal is to be self sufficient and independent from rolex

- the NF and Pelagos are unique to themselves to appeal to broader markets

- we should see a tudor in-house chrono to replace the Dubois Depraz as the whole model range goes in-house.

- pelagos and NF are coming very quickly to stores

- 70hr power reserve is for the weekend rest test when folks may not wear a watch but want it on monday after friday.
