Like it!

tkerrmd · 24 July 2014, 12:05 PM

Nice

Charles1977 · 24 July 2014, 12:10 PM

Never liked the looks of Tudor watches but this one I really like.

correct: the spring bars are fitted thru a small sleeve in the fabric: so the watch can only sit in one position. Or you can just pull the bars out and use the strap as a simple pull-thru raf.

Nycturbovr6 · 24 July 2014, 02:17 PM

Looks very nice!

bdex75 · 24 July 2014, 02:58 PM

Very nice. For the $ it probably cannot be beat. Especially with 2 band/strap options.

I looked at one and could not pull the trigger due to the lack of a date function, but that is just me being, well, me. Same reason that I have passed on a plethora of SS Daytonas at MSRP or below.

If the EXP I had lume like that it would be far more enticing to me. Very nice.

Friar · 24 July 2014, 03:13 PM

Is the lume superlumanova? Is it blue and long lasting?

Rolexpharm · 24 July 2014, 08:37 PM

Looks like Tudor's take on the Explorer

As a weekend watch I won't miss the date too much. I just ordered this strap for it. Similar color to the option Tudor sells. Triple threat with the camo and bracelet.

It is super. It's green. And it lasts a very long time.

Can't wait to see pics of it in that strap

herbalt · 25 July 2014, 04:53 AM

That is really great on the NATO (and the bracelet). The Tudor NATOS are amazing. Does anyone know where they source them? Are there NATOs out there of similar weave quality?

J Faure in France: they are jacquard weave experts: suppliers to the Vatican. I wonder if the pope has a jacquard nato?

Fantastic to see the Ranger has arrived at the ADs.

Looking forward to trying one on.
I think the Ranger and Black Bay Blue will be my future purchases list.

mjclark32 · 25 July 2014, 10:32 PM

Nice, congrats!

Deyn Man · 26 July 2014, 12:16 AM

Thanks for the lume shot!
Man! Can't wait to see this in the metal!!!!!!!!

igwt · 26 July 2014, 02:31 AM

97% positive this will be my next purchase, Thank you for uploading photos....

quick question though...... did it bother you that the watch doesn't have an end link when on metal strap and that weird space between lugs?

but not a big problem since i will wear it mostly with nato or rubber strap...

Just want to know your view regarding the above mention...

Thanks

Old Expat Beast · 26 July 2014, 08:28 PM

Couldn't believe my eyes today when I saw one of these for sale secondhand already in a local dealer's here. If any HK members are interested it's in Noble Watch in Sino Plaza for HK$18,000 or so (forget the exact price). Steel bracelet and camo.

A lot of people seem to take issue with it. I'd say it was on the list of reasons I wanted it. The gap isn't that large. The tube styling gives it it's vintage appeal. For example, I put the same bracelet on a black bay and the gap is far too wide. My guess is that is what people are thinking it will look like. Until you see it on your wrist...trust that Tudor got this right.

The gap just isn't that big.

Rags · 27 July 2014, 12:56 AM

Looks better on the nato & I hate natos. Tudor messed up with the bracelet.

Old Expat Beast · 11 August 2014, 01:27 PM

OP already has this up for sale???

Singslinger · 11 August 2014, 07:11 PM

I recently attended the official launch of this watch in S'pore and was very impressed with it. A handsome watch for sure - and very attractively priced at around US$3,000.
