[GolfJunkie]

Just saw this release on Tudors instagram page. Says they’re available exclusively at Tudor Boutiques.

Thanks for sharing, looks awesome. The only thing that holds me back is the thickness

That looks awesome! If I hadn't gotten over my thing for Chronos I would be running out and trying to get one. Now it would just bug me to have a movement with complications that I would never use.

Not saying it’s all about the money, but at about a third the cost of a Daytona.

Looks great. I will be getting one at some point. Hopefully sooner than later.

[Bill2e]

Wow - that’s nice

[Dan Pierce]

Wow, that's a stunner. Very nice.

Looks ok but personally think Longines did it better

I really like this piece. I would just have liked them to decrease the size.

Like with thickness caveat

[MikeMWatchFan]

Just saw this as well. So will this be rarer than the pink one?

[scheneider]

nice , Tudor is killin it

[Gooswyn]

It looks nicer than the pink one (IMO), unfortunately it’s only available at Tudor exclusive boutique on some countries.

Looks very nice, thanks for sharing Eric. Tudor has definitely upped their game.

[Lightsped]

Looks quite good. Anyone notice the red tip second hand and red text on dial. Nice colors on this one. Also the five link band. This will be a winner!

[EL Diablo]

Looks very nice... I am interested in picking up a Tudor.
Anyone know if you can walk into a boutique and buy one? or are these going to be treated like the pink one?

Yes, pretty good!

I just found the lug-to-lug measurement: 49.8 mm. This might be a tad long for some wrists, but, hey, there is no rule that all watches have to fit all wrists!

[thrift]

Looks solid and nice dial. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Trouble15]

Looks good! Would like to see it in person.

[Mr Ben]

Yet another very nice watch from Tudor.

Fortunately not quite enough to tease my credit card out…

Nice Thank you for posting the specs here

[Easy E]

I like it!

[davek35]

I like it, too!!

[samson66]

Looks terrific! I would have to get over my aversion to screw down pushers. But other than that it's a winner

[slus]

That's a really nice colorway and Tudor's "5 link" (Jubilee) with the T Fit clasp is impressive on any watch they have matched it with

[samson66]

...but I have to say I wish Tudor would have put standard hands on this one. I don't have a problem with snowflake hands in general, but on this model the hour hand winds up obscuring the subdials more than it needs too. A regular hour hand, like a Speedy, would work so much better here.

Well as you can see from the picture, it's potentially eight minutes or eight seconds of uncertainty.

It's been nearly a decade with the current chronograph design and it appears that the legibility issue continues where the chronograph utility is concerned. It would make a lot of sense if Tudor could revert to their more chronograph suitable stick hands of their big block chronograph model days or some form of hour hand that doesn't obscure either of the subdials so significantly during timing.

Like many others above said, its too thick / is thick. The thing just seems bloated to me. I wonder how many of these releases we see before they give us smaller proportions.
