Well done, Adam! You & your brother will enjoy that memory.

Also, did you check out the operation of the locking bezel? Just wondering how smooth that mechanism works.
Rick [love the avatar],

The lugs are not small but not overly large either. The fit was comfortable on my 7.25" wrist. The beautifully designed robust Tudor clasp and leather/ rubber combo strap worked really well together.

The Heritage Chronograph, Tudor GMT, Pelagos, & P01 bezels, each have different tactile experiences. None are better or worse than the other, just different. The P01 requires the user to remove the watch, lower the strap at the 12:00 lug, press the 3 raised lines on the hood to open it for access to the bidirectional bezel. Then snap back the hood to lock it down. Great for diving cause that baby ain't gonna move. Not quite as convenient if used as a simple timer on the go [something I use often] but not a big deal to facilitate either. The P01 is so unique you can't help but like it's quirkiness.
