I just could not help it - Tudor Heritage Black Bay

I wanted to wait for the leather strap option, I even had my AD hold one for me as soon as they start shipping. But waiting sucks, so I pulled the trigger.

Very nice! I'm waiting for the leather. Since we don't have Tudor in the US I am "safe" of the impulse buy option.
Congrats

"waiting sucks"....love it.

IMHO, you made the right call. surely sourcing the leather strap is much cheaper after the fact then buying the strap from the outset and sourcing the bracelet later.

congrats!!

By this time next year, we should have them back in the US. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Congrats!

Beaglehusky- do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?
I'm heading to Norway via Thailand at the end of the year to visit my in-laws and wondering where is the best place to get it
Tusen takk

You made the right decision. You'll want the bracelet option. Strap(s) will be easy later.

Man that wears big. looks great.
