Tudor North Flag
Hey TRF!
This is my first purchase from a local AD and my first Swiss watch. I wanted a tool watch that could be casual and withstand the daily beatings of a desk job. I opted for the leather strap with the deployment clasp. Then, within a week I went and ordered the bracelet also. Haven't had it on yet, but hopefully will mess around with swapping it back and forth. We put it on the watchmakers tool to see the accuracy of the movement..this bad boy was reading reading 0's for a 24hr observation. The ~70hr power reserve has been great and every time I go to wind it after a few days the time still matches my phone. Overall, I am quiet impressed with Tudor. I used to work for the AD and know they do not sell a lot, but this model and the new Pelagos are hitting above their weight class. |

Nice pics and congrats on the NF. How easy is it to changeover between the strap/bracelet? How's it done?

I tried on the NF tonight. Whilst it was a nice watch, it just didn't sing to me in any way. It looks great on you, though. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone! It hasn't left my wrist since I got it.
It's a bit difficult switching straps, this is also my first time really doing this. The spring bars are a bit tricky to reach when you have the bracelet on. That being said, it becomes much easier once disassembling the clasp, but it's a lot of extra work. I may also have bad tweezers. I purchased the bracelet while still at the store, so my cost wasn't retail. But retail is around $900... Which I find absurd. |

Congratulations! I really enjoy my North Flag and the attraction keeps growing stronger. It's very comfortable on the wrist, incredible visibility, and long power reserve.

Congratulations! I've had my NF for nearly 2 months now and I am enjoying it more every day. It hasn't come off my wrist since I got it. I am now very tempted to add the leather strap too after seeing your pics!

Thanks everyone, the bracelet is extremely comfortable as well. But the strap is so nice, especially with the deployment feature.
Enjoy the NF! |

I wonder if the total cost would be less to get the watch on the bracelet and then purchase the strap ??

The bracelet is very comfortable and quite adjustable but the sharp edges of the links I sometimes find irritating. I think I'll buy the strap too.

I can't get over the look of the lugs with the strap.
