My first, ‘I had the call…’

So today, out of the blue. I got a call from my AD saying that they’ve received their Tudor allocation and would like to offer me a Pelagos FXD which I registered interest in only 2 weeks ago!

I’m collecting it tomorrow.

There’s a reason it only had a two week wait. They’re not that difficult to get

Lately I am more of a Tudor guy cuz at my age, wearing a Tudor made me feel younger. Wearing a G-Shock brings me back to 12yo. That is just too much.

It's a great watch. Not for me since I won't wear nato but I think it's one of the best Tudors
