Tudor North Flag-The best kept watch secret!!

I picked up a North Flag in 2016. It's easily my most asked about watch. The fit and finish is superb on my 7 inch wrist. The power reserve at first seemed like a gimmick. But I find it really helpful. And it's accurate. The display back. I get it Rolex is not known for decorated movements same with Tudor but I love the display back it's just a nice change and it's a great distraction to just stare at it while at work. The watch is as nice as any I own. It keeps perfect time loses 2 seconds a week. 70 hour power reserve is spot on. Lasts a weekend plus without a wind. I just finally secured the leather with deployant I love the integrated bracelet but I think the only negative I have with the NF is strap options really don't exist. Someone needs to create a NF set of straps. My money is waiting. I think the North Flag is the most under appreciated watch out there and to be honest I love being part of the "exclusive NF club". Happy for it to continue to fly under the radar. Not to mention it's a bargain to purchase.

The manager at my AD wears a North Flag and loves it.

Tudor North Flag-The best kept watch secret!!

Was just thinking that last week when I was in the AD and I saw them sitting in the case all lonely.

Great watch but your only negative point is what has kept me from owning this one. Aaron from Combat Straps is the first one that comes to mind but that will get expensive quickly to build a nice collection of options.

Try Artisan Strap Company as well. They have done some good custom work for me.

It is a huge negative. I don't have the talents to make a strap but how hard is it-I mean it's been quite a while and straps options still don't exist. The leather btw is fantastic. I've also seen the Pelagos strap used successfully. My hunch is that as soon as a strap collection exists the NF will grow in popularity big time.

x2 a lot of people have asked me about my North Flag. Most people in Asia are familiar with the look of a Sub or Royal Oak, but the NF has a very different vibe

Mmmm pictures , that's better . Like the look of the NF ,& as another strap option I think the Pelagos Rubber will fit directly into the end links ,with no adjustment .

The Seiko diver is lovely by the way.

Had lunch last week with forum member Herb (hsfrank) and his wife. He was wearing his new NF and I got to see it up close and personal. Very impressive watch.

Tried a NF and Black Bay on at the same time, although I went home with the BB, the North Flag is next up. I love the look and feel of the NF.
