Honestly think both the pink or flamingo look great on men or women. I have tried on that model in the navy and liked the fit. I would buy either of the new colors, but pretty tricky to find. Just think fun alternative colors for a watch. I like pretty neutral clothing so the splash of color is perfect.

Congratulations!!

I personally love my Tudor’s. I daily my pink Tudor Chrono and would love to pick up this new Flamingo Blue as well. The size and feel on the wrist is far better than numbers might suggest. It is very legible. The 5-link bracelet and T-fit clasp are comfortable, stylish and easy to get a great fit. It doesn’t wear or look like my Rolex’s and to me that’s a good thing. Splash of color is a great alternative and to me it’s enough but not too much which I tend to wear with just about anything. I also like having the date complication.

I look forward to seeing more incomings and pictures.

This is my beach beater and initially I really liked the new Tudor Flamingo (apart from size, sorry slim wrists) but realised that the dial color is a very close match. I'm sure the wife will be, "why have you bought the same watch?"

I will be visiting a Boutique to compare both in the flesh.

Another gaudy color on a too thick Chrono pretending to be "rare"...

Side by side, I prefer the pink. Think I'll see if the price of the pink drops in the next 6 months.

lol, every1 entitled to an opinion. I’ll take the other side though. It is thick but the jub is a wonderful counterbalance on wrist. I want this one so I can have the bird set

It was called the Seafoam Green Chronograph originally, before the Flamingo Blue.

It looks a little different in that picture than in the release photos, a slightly darker shade than the Rolex turquoise. I am waiting on a pink, that’s my preference.

My AD advises availability should be similar to the Pink so a bit of of patience required but not unobtainable as Tudor don't want that.

Subtle it ain't but in a monochrome watch box it brings some spectacular playful contrast!
