Watch grows on me everytime I see it. The dial itself is really sharp looking. I really like the white outline around the date window, the red line of text, and the markers all look perfectly proportioned. The hard part I have with it is that first metal link on the strap. Just looks odd to me

AOW
While I've used the tachymeter bezel to measure units per hour on rare occasions, I find the 2nd time zone and simple timer functions much more useful. In fact, a rotating bezel is the most used feature on my watches, besides time itself.

I put my name down the day it was announced. This summer I tried on a sample in Paris. I love the bezel and dial. I was not crazy for the length of the watch. Moving on.

I also really like the dial and the bezel... along with the domed crystal.

Waiting to see one in person

I hope not. That just looks like a seiko... you are losing the latch system and the integrated strap.

Quite a divisive watch, personally I think it looks more balanced on a nato.

This is the major problem with most of the Seikos I like.. Rather would like, if not for the asymmetry of the case and crownguards. The dial is about the only thing I find mildly pleasing about the Tudor. It's a brave (or stupid) release I'll give them that.

I have gone from loathing it to wanting it.
