New member here! Recently picked up my first Tudor and I’m really happy with it! Decided to go with the in-house over the ETA version.

It came on the leather strap, but I switched it out for a Strapcode bracelet for the summer. I’m also thinking about adding either a Rubber B or Everest to change the look.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Rolex family, albeit a distant cousin! Hopefully, I can add a Sub (no date) to the mix in the future.

Congrats, welcome aboard

Watch looks great. The in-house movement from Tudor is so accurate it's scary. Good choice

I'd like to hear more about that bracelet. I have a GMT on rubber and wouldn't mind picking up a part-time bracelet for use in the hot months. What do you think of it? How is the fit and finish? Can you post more pics with the bracelet for me if you get a chance?

Very nice first watch
I love the red and the dial is superb

Thanks! The Strapcode is actually very nice. It’s by no means Rolex or Tudor quality at at fraction of the price, but it’s fine for a temporary summer solution until I go back to the Tudor leather strap in the fall.

If it wasn’t so thick I’d definitely add one to my collection!

Good feedback. Looks great. For ~$100 it is hard to go wrong with it. I may add one of these. I love the leather strap the best but can't wear it in the heart of the summer due to sweat damage to the strap.

Thanks! It’s very good for the price. I really like the look of the leather band, too, but I’m at the beach this week and the heat of a South Carolina summer would do quite a number on that leather band.

I usually buy on the bracelet, but I got such a good deal on this BB that it was hard to turn down!
