I know some people don’t like that shade of green but I love it. In fact I love everything about the watch......however the rivets on that bloody strap I really dislike.

No need for them to exist imo, and trying just that little bit to hard there.

I still don't get over the fact that this Tudor is de facto a Shopping Mall Tribute Watch. That's corny - but we all like different things. :)

Looks very nice I think. Can't say I'll be flogging my Kermit to get one, but the green/gold combo looks great imo. At the price point, a really good watch. Congrats to those quick enough to get one.

Yeah really because I’d trade a piece like this for a regular production easy to acquire Rolex Sports!!!

The chance is there for someone but it won’t last long.

I think this watch is a smashing execution of the Black Bay...

It evokes very strong emotions when its real but on the other side of the world

Would love to see how the Green bezel compares with Kermit and 116610lv, side by side.

Selfishly I wish the BB was 40mm, as it fits my wrist much better. Although that may be a good thing so I don't spend more money on this beautiful piece!

I assume all 100 must have been claimed in person now.

Have we actually had a pic of one sized and being worn? All we have seen are these photos hanging off the arm at the ad.

I suppose it could be that hardly any of the 100 are on here.....I'd be interested to see one in natural light.

I think you will find at least one in this thread. Several shots of it by the owner.

I didn’t like it that much. Nice yes but wow, no.

As it stands I was too late for the list. Whilst there I tried on the Frankenstein chrono on a imitation denim blue trap and apart from the strange snowflake hands it was really lovely.

Regarding the B.B. their new list was nearly 1,000 names long with no word from tudor how many after the first 500 were being made; so they closed the list.

Only one I think. It's a bit odd. I'm not sure anyone owns this watch....(per others the op seems to be flogging it's....)

Would be interesting to see how many were pre-allocated to customers without them even knowing or hearing about the watch...big spenders and regulars

Many have said that the list was full within hours even minutes of rumours starting. Don’t think many will pop up in grey dealers and many will probably get chucked in the back of the safe ready for prices to go up. It’s a cheap “investment” piece for many I think.

We are talking about 100 people having this watch at the minute I think and how many of them are forum members here or anywhere else. Not many photos to be seen for a good while I think .
