Tudor Heritage -- Am I Missing Something?
Reading right now the 2010/2011 Tudor brochure/book graciously mailed to me by Alan (Alcan). At page 17, in discussing the Tudor Heritage, it says "The dial, which comes in grey, black or black-and-grey"....
Is it just me, or does that imply THREE dial choices, rather than what I think is the standard belief here, just the primarily grey dial (with black around the sub dials) OR primarily black (with grey around the sub dials.) Maybe I just can't read Tudor/Rolex.... |

Tudor language can sometimes be hard to read.

Yes, it certainly does imply 3 choices but there's only 2 (at least for the HC).

Funny
Goes on to say, at page 20, "The Tudor Heritage Chrono models illustrated in this catalogue represent the entire collection. Other dial and bracelet conbinations are available." Man, love the watch and all, but Tudor might want to hire a proofreader.... |

Probably one of those "language" things. You know, it's like they have a different word for everything!

That would make for a tricky time picking out a new watch.
That's like buying a car, and reading that it comes in red, blue, black, and other colors. What other colors? |

I believe it was a mistake in proof reading and it should of said it comes in black and grey or grey and black. I too have the catalog and when you check their web site it only shows two choices!!!

It's a proofreading error. It was supposed to say, 'in gray-and-black or black-and-gray'. A misplaced comma.
