Haters need not reply...Rocking a new Tudor P01!

[DoxaDavid]

Sometimes you don't find the watch, it finds you! Thanks to TRF, discovered a new toy I didn't know I wanted until I saw it here.

Had no idea the Tudor P01 existed and probably would have gone my whole life without learning about it if not for surfing posts here. It was the thread with a P01 on a steel bracelet that caught my eye.

I like different and especially so with dive watches. Add in a unique history and it had me hooked.

There was a thread where I inquired how a TRF member who had a P01 felt it wore, his wrist size (it's a big watch) and thoughts on it?

Seeing that post, Darren (dmb359) sent me a PM saying he had seen one locally at an AD that evening and would likely be there if I wanted to see it in person. Big shout out and thanks for the tip.

I went down to the AD the next day and they did just unbox a P01 the day before so I got to try it on.

First impressions were it has this old school vintage feel about it which would make sense since it was a prototype made in the late 1960's. Loved the combo with the steel and leather/rubber strap. It was comfortable on the wrist and was at the max I felt fit me with the length at 55mm.

The SA is a real WIS. We chatted about all sort of watches for 20 min while I wore it and then made me a deal I couldn't pass on.

So, my second Tudor has been added to the herd to join the Heritage Chrono.
