Tudor Date-Day: a valuable acquisition.

[Shade]

Hi everyone, been away for duty for some time, and I'm back. Met up with a friend, ended up with something special.



Tudor always intrigued me, they are rich with history, the "son" of Rolex, yet not much attention are given that they deserve. They have proven to create some very significant watches in the past, and today - to be honest, their designs excites me more than their "father".

By no means I'm generalizing, it all comes down to personal taste. I'm sure there are others who enjoys Rolex's new releases much more than I do.


Back to my story - I met a friend for coffee, and he suddenly said to me "I got a watch from a trade that I'd like to sell, perhaps you can find someone who'd be interested in it?". He then produces this Tudor Date-Day... and it instantly won me heart. Without hesitation I said "Yes, I just found someone who'll buy it - me".

I like almost everything about the watch, the dial is clean and glossy black, with arabic numbers, "ranger" styled hand, and the famed day-date bother, the date-day. Hahaha.. I just had to say that.

It somehow exhudes a "military" look with this clean dial, and I think it's great for legibility. The size and feel is just the same with it's counterpart from Rolex, except this one is in steel.

The only thing that I would change, is the length of the hands, I think it's slightly short, but others may have a different opinion on it.

For the price I got it? At $700, I think it's a no brainer.
