love at first sight!

guys seriously, I've never ever loved a watch sooo much at first sight as I do this new Tudor Grantour...it is sooooo pretty...150m water-resist and so sporty+elegant, it is just perfect...I LOVE it so thought I'd share with you...I guess its still not available but I dont know exactly...there is also a chrono version and although I dont like chronos so much, but I even liked its chrono..man I dig this watch

That's a stunner. Just please add a rotating bezel.

This bezel font is the same one that has caused so much polarization of opinions (majority negative) with the new Breitling Chronomat B01.

Looks like a new trend is emerging.

Yes, that is a good looking watch!

I expect to try out the Grantour and the new Hydro 1200 a week or two from now (if deliveries to AD goes according to plan).

I've already seen the new Hydro II chrono - and that is a good looking watch as well.

Best,

A

Congratulations. That's a great looking watch. And, it's also some very nice photography-- did you do it?

It's not a bad looking watch, but I just can't get with Tudor. Maybe that will change when I have all the Rolexes I want.

I'm not saying Tudor is like the Tito or Marlon Jackson of the Rolex family, but at the most it's Jermaine. The public doesn't want to hear Jermaine Jackson sing, even though he can sing. The public wants Michael Jackson because it only wants the best.

I know there are a lot of Tudor fans here, but there is a left tail for every distribution.

A 912 is still a fine car and some might argue handles better than its bigger brother.

This is one nice looking watch. I can't find a price for one though. What is the 'ballpark' figure for one of these watches?

The band reminds me of the leather on a steering wheel. Nice.
