Ordered in April and finally here!

I’m so happy to report that my Tudor has finally arrived. I paid in full on April 20 and I got here this week. I personally think this is a fantastic watch. Here’s some thoughts…

I got this on the bracelet, but I honestly don’t like the bracelet. I have a SubC and I think the Rolex Oyster bracelet is just a spoiler. Nothing feels like it does. However, this watch has never met a strap it doesn’t look great on, and as you can see in my pictures below, there’s a flattened area where a nato would slide through the lugs in order to reduce fraying and scratching the leather or nylon - wonderful touch.

I’ve been trying it out on various natos, oem Tudor nylons, and my current favorite, slightly undersized Perlons from Da Luca, and I just think it’s so good. No question that it has heft, but the difference in thickness between this and the GMT is absolutely noticeable.

Anyhow, here are some pics!

Oh man, I put in an order for one about 2 months ago, looks like I'm in for a wait. Although I'm hoping you receiving yours means they're in mass production at this point.

I like the look of it on the black strap with the red stripe - is that the strap that comes with the BB GMT? I may switch out the bracelet on my Chrono for the strap from my GMT.

Great looking watch. I could have bought it in a store in NYC a few months back, but didn’t because it was on strap, not bracelet, but terrific watch especially for the price!

That’s exactly what it is. I like the combo quite a bit.
