The S&G is a great watch although each time I hear about I can't help but think about Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme!!! Congratulations; waiting to see the official wrist shots!!!

Thank you all for kind words! I must confess that I've been dismissing tudor for a very long time. What may have been a "poor man's rolex" for some it was a homage to a sub and other models to me. I am also a sucker for in-house movement. However I think tudor has come long way in establishing their own image and s&g is a good example imo.
I'm sure some will disagree with me, but this is my story and I stick to it.
Without further ado, I present some wrist shots:






Naturally I couldn't resist to put this baby on a timegrapher. Starting with boring face up:


Not too shabby at all. I usually don't care that much about daily rate as I do about positional deviation. This mechanical marvels never seize to amaze me.
Crown down:



And crown up before I run off to work:



Granted my inexpensive timegrapher has accuracy to 1s, but this mt5612 ispretty impressive. It's officially the most accurate and precise movement in my modest collection, including Rolex. Time will tell how it does long term, but I'm very happy with the purchase for now. Its been on my wrist for 15 hours and still on point. You did good, Tudor.

Nice couple! Been debating between aged strap and bracelet, but glad that I went with bracelet. May buy the strap later one to change things up.

Congrats! I decided on the strap, as the bracelet is not for me and really wanted something on leather in this case. Nevertheless looks great on both, enjoy!

I just put my Nato on my BB last night. Had the bracelet on for some time so decided to change it up. MUCH lighter obviously and honestly I kind of like the look better. I always go back to the bracelet at some point but the BB looks as good as any watch on a nato.

Beautiful watch! Congratulations. I tried it on at the AD and it looked really nice in the store. Does the brushing on the gold bracelet change it's appearance in natural light?

I agree about Tudor no longer being a poor man's Rolex. It seems like they've really created their own identity over the past few years and have taken some really interesting risks in design. I don't think they've all been hits, but everything they're doing seems to be very...enthusiastic, for lack of a better word. I think that kind of culture will serve Tudor well.

Yes. Looks even better ;) I definitely like brushed gold better than polished.
