I would say good deal, maybe not great. Doesn't seem hard to find in the sales section here.

Congrats on the new watch!

Not hard to find.

Do you want to own it?

US retail price is $3975 so not a good deal, way less on grey market.

I like the watch itself's style and presence but feel like Tudor made a huge error by using aluminum/bronze alloy which doesn't patina like the more commonly used CuSn8 alloy. That's what all of the big players such as Panerai use for their bronze pieces.
