Not 100% certain. Just based on what i see on the website which ive assumed picks up my location based on ip.

Don't find it all that interesting. They should've left the lefties to Panerai.

I was just told by my AD he was told the first run is numbered so that's cool for colectability. Has anyone heard the same. Sorry if I double posted.

I like the red accents but all the other changes are quite unremarkable.

I dont really care about being wrong that they wouldnt do a left facing crown, however it sucks that I'm wrong because if that was in the standard facing direction I would have definitely bought one.

Yes. I will be in house in one hour. .

I hope I like it and can justify it. My contact that has similar taste in watches is saying he is having impure thoughts.

Yeah my AD said this would be a "limited" piece. I'm awaiting the call to check it out in the flesh.

Depends on what everyone considers limited.

Monochrome and Hodinkee say numbered but not limited??? May be low volume but not limited I think. Not saying they or I know more or less than the AD...

I would still like to see it in person and waiting for my sales rep to get back to me.

Very true. But a piece like this with a low number will be desirable I have a feeling. I think that they have very carefully avoided the limited wording.

The "anti-LHD" comments tell me this will not be terribly popular; sort of like the Rolex 1655... And we all know how that turned out.

PS: the 1655 wasn't limited either.

Limited (or not) means nothing. Production volume before end of production is relevant.

Tudor US Brand Manager said on his Instagram that there wont be a limited amount made but rather each piece will just be numbered. A throw back to what they made for military back in the day.

congrats, but yep, not for me.

Something about the color of the lume plots throws it way off for me. The piss colored lume comment earlier seems pretty correct. It works well in the BB with the shiny gilt details on the dial, but since it's all flat, it just looks odd IMO.

Looks pretty cool!

I just can't get past all that text on the dial of the in-house versions

Phoned my local AD and he is supposed to be getting one in tomorrow. I am liking the look of it from the pictures on the Tudor website.

Dictated by me and typed by my personal assistant on my very expensive Platinum Vertu Aster.
