It's Here, It's Here!

I must say that the construction, fit and finish are A+. The dial has jumped to #1 as far as favorite dials of any watch I have owned and there has been a lot of them. This is one of those watches that looks even better in person than in pictures. Took a leap of faith since I had never handled one in person but I am glad I did. Totally satisfied with this watch. There was a thread earlier asking would you own a black or grey Tudor Heritage and still get the new blue one and I can absolutely say YES I would and I will. Anyone on the fence about this because they haven't seen it in person, I say go for it. I don't think you will regret it. Just an awesome watch.

Awesome looking watch! I always had this Tudor in the back of my mind for purchase other than a Rolex. I figured the fit and finish would be on par with Rolex since they make it! One question though, the stopwatch feature just measures seconds and minutes (60 minutes total) correct?

I believe with the bezel you can measure hours as well. The minutes only go up to 45, not 60.

The bezel can also be used to tell time in a 2nd timezone.

Welcome to the 70330 club! One of the more fun modern timepieces to own! Looks great, super functional, and light on the wallet! Wear yours in good health!

Looks great, the orange accents really pop on the black. How's the construction seem compared to rolex? I'm really interested in a couple tudor models but have never seen them in person

I have had over 20 Rolex models at one point or another and it is on par with any modern Rolex as far as fit and finish. The dial is so much nicer than any Rolex I have owned. In my humble opinion it puts the Daytona to shame particularly the price. I would say movement wise Rolex produces a better one but the Tudor movement will provide me years of enjoyment. Buy one on the used market and I can't think of a better value.

Thanks Sam. I haven't been this excited about a watch in years. I can't wait to add the blue one.

Looks great. Congratulations. Could be next on the list as finding a birth year Speedy is proving impossible. :P
