Ninja Is a trend setter?!

I stopped into my local AD for their watch fair and saw this. I texted the Fat Ninja was suddenly compelled to buy it.

I honestly have to admit I was dead wrong, it’s actually pretty cool in person.

A trend setter like John Mayer

That’s awesome though, friends can be like that!

Congrats!

Congratulations! I want to see what it looks like in person before I reserve judgement. Regardless, do enjoy your new watch!

It looks great brother... glad you picked it up! I keep playing with the locking mechanism....

Not only do I think it’s cool but it’s a little piece of history :)

I now know 3 people other than me that bought a P-01. I doubt they are making 1000’s of these. Get them while you can.

My wife said this is the only watch of mine that actually appears to be a tool watch :)

The Tudor rep was there and told me a bunch about the history of the watch and how they decided to make it. I’d like to see them come out with some other straps.

The only trend-setter named Ninja is a Fortnite streamer on Mixer.

Is it me, the camera angle, the focal length of the lens, or does that date window look a bit wonky?

It's a nice looking watch; far a field from the traditional Rolex/Tudor offering!!!

I too like that watch. Gotta respect a proper tool watch in the age of watch jewelry.

There's something about the area between the lugs (not sure of the term) that just looks like it covers way too much real estate to me.

I admit I don't know much about Tudors or anything about this watch and what the history is.

Corpulent Ninja is the John Mayer of TRF. And that watch looks like a 1970's Seiko, which means it looks cool.
