Still loving the Diamond Royal

When the Tudor Royal Day Date was announced, I was most excited for the two tone diamond dial version. I had to wait for this particular model to become available, but when I got it 2.5 years ago, I was over the moon. And the excitement hasn't worn off.

At the time, it was between this one and a TT Datejust. Since it arrived, I have never looked back. I know it's not everyone's cup o' tea, but I love it. I definitely made the right call.

I grabbed a couple of photos of it on the wrist today:

Nice!

I like that the diamonds are there but not overpowering.
Amount of gold is not overwhelming.
No cyclops
I like that the III and the date are both at the 3 position.

Looks well worn, enjoy!

Yes, it gets regular wear from me - at least once a week.

I like the integration of the bracelet and pseudo jubilee. About 20 years ago I had an affluent greek friend who refused to wear Rolex and would only buy Tudor. He said they were lower key and suited his personality better. He had a sub.

Lovely watch Bill, congrats! I'd like a blue dial in stainless if the right deal came along.

Cool watch Bill. I love how the diamonds are set against a matte dial, not something one sees often and really lets the diamonds stand out.

Gorgeous! Hard to beat a two tone watch with a black dial IMO

Thanks, all.

One of the great things about this watch is that almost nobody knows what it is when they see it.
