good lume.
good design.

the winding is pretty rough
the bracelet is really bad. couldnt get a fit even with the incremental clasp. so i use nato strap.

overall a good watch.

cant complain i got it for a good price.

Very glad to see in the thread that it’s being repaired as I was worried it was fake based on the complaints.

I had one for a year and it was the smoothest winding of all my watches. And as others said, the date should snap over instantly within a couple minutes of 12:00 (24:00).

I sometimes miss that piece! I recommend trying the Uncle Seiko half link installed directly to the clasp. It may provide a better fit. It improves the articulation a bit as well.

Enjoy!

looks great- but Im concerned for you- a friend got a fake (there are so many now)and his winding was bad and bracelet- mine winds smoothly and the bracelet is far better than my air king and my ranger- hope it all works out- looks good on you regardless

Authenticity is the last thing I check. You can easily see it through the box and papers now registered online.

The first things I check is the condition and the quality. Scratches on crystals is a no for me.

new year new toy

I had one for a while and just didn’t have the wrist to wear it with the thickness but i loved it. I heard this fits on the Tudor ranger bracelet, might be worth looking into. Or, getting a half link. Mine felts extremely rough at first as well, and within a few weeks i remember it feeling very smooth.

I got one when it first came out. Couldn't find any specs on the thickness before I purchased. When I put it on, it is the same as my Tudor GMT but smaller diameter. I felt the GMT was better proportioned (although still thick). What ended the honeymoon was the bezel seemed to scratch easily and the GMT hand was not a vibrant orange, which it appears when photographed, but in person it looked like a dull washed out pumpkin color. I like the pop of orange and this orange was a dud. However, when I see one...I think it is a great looking watch. I would only buy another Tudor if they can make one that is not a wrist biscuit, they are too thick (for me).

Congrats, very cool, I really enjoy my tutor.
You do realize that the NATO strap is supposed to be folded back in on itself correct?
