Yep, that's exactly the one that's missing.

Oh, and the FXD should be added....

Thanks for sharing a wonderful assortment.
Currently I am at four in my roll, but working hard to achieve
a collection such as yours.
However you really should consider a Chrono.....

I'm thinking you like the Black Bays?

LOL great watches all around. I would love to talk to you about the bronze models. Considering adding the "triple B" 43mm slate dial

Very nice.

Although surely you need a BBGMT, Chrono (or two), and another Pelagos to balance out those 58's? Oh, and a Harrods. You definitely need a Harrods...

Mind taking some individual pictures of it? I’ve never seen it in person!
I like the simplicity. I will take and post pictures this evening when I return home.

I really don't plan on wearing them...Maybe a day or two per year. If they get any more wear than that, I will buy a second one to wear and keep the other "mint".

You will note that I have two of one model. That is because I found myself wearing that particular watch a lot, so I bought a second one to wear.

That is the black oxide coated model. It is what caused Tudor to catch my eye. It was the first model I bought.

I am more of an accumulator than an "Expert".

I love the 925 model. The taupe color dial/bezel is perfect.

Out of the Tudors? That is a tough question.

So far, I find myself wearing the black/brown model with strap in the upper right hand. It is the perfect watch when I am wearing flannel/boots.

The gold/silver are for dress, but I have Rolexes for that.

My most recent purchase is the Black Ceramic model. It is an awesome watch. It has a crystal back...and Tudor even black coated the movement! When Tudor comes out with a 100% black out model (think hour markers black instead of white), I am a buyer!

Great questions!

#1. That is a great question...I haven't tried. Truthfully, I am worried about wear on the BB Dark, so I don't wear it.

#2. Because I found myself wearing it a lot. I first bought the model with the bracelet. Since I found myself wearing it with flannel shirts/cowboy boots, I decided to get one with a brown leather strap. It is perfect with that attire.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything here but I don't understand the concept of buying two of the same watch, one to wear and the other to keep in a safe??? This isn't Paul Newman's Daytona ... these are just Tudors. I don't see the value shooting up in the future or anything. What's your angle here?

The sales associated suggested getting a leather strap for the one I owned. The Tudor leather strap was ~$700. With the watch being $3,000 out the door, I decided to pay $2,300 more so I don't have to change straps.

As for having "mint" models. That's what I do with all of my watches. I buy models because I like them. I like to have mint or very close to mint ones in my collection. As I mentioned, if I wear them much, I buy a second one. I only have one duplicate Tudor, but will probably get a second silver one to wear.

I know it doesn't make much sense, but I have the $$$ and it is what I do.

I fear I have become that compulsive, eccentric guy.

If I wear a woman, I would have a house full of cats. Since I am a guy, I have a house/garage full of cars, guns and watches. :) :)

Ha! Fair enough. As a fellow gun enthusiast I can relate. It's not like I take them out to the range every week. Some haven't been fired in years.

I think you can use a Tudor Chrono in that collection.

Wow, I've ever seen so many Tudor in a single collection. Never tried the brand myself, but given Rolex difficulties, could be an alternative. Thing is there's Omega and Breitling coming to mind.

I thought the tread was kinda cool bc you were just passionate about Tudor until you said you keep duplicates of watches you wear often so you have one kept safe in mint condition. Contrary to what anyone on this planet says, accumulating things is not cool will one day leave you feeling VERY empty. Now this thread sounds like you are kinda suffering. I will be thinking about you and hoping for the best. Some good books that I have read and still read are "Man's search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl, "Falling Upward" by Richard Rohr, and the Bible.

This response is not a put down. We all struggle with something in life, and I include myself in that. If this post means nothing to you then maybe it will help someone else.

Peace
