Good evening!

I have a GMT Master II that I bought new in 2015 and have been looking for a second nice watch since. For my recent 15th wedding anniversary I decided to buy me and my missus watches (time is one of the modern gifts).

I got her a nice Tudor ladies automatic and got myself the Black Shield. I wanted a chrono and am a huge Ducati fan (I currently own 2, one that is all black, like the watch).

Looking to add one more to my small collection that's outside the Rolex world.

Sweet. Wear it in good health!

Keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down!

sickened1 · 23 January 2020, 12:30 PM

Congrats.

kieselguhr · 23 January 2020, 12:34 PM

Ohh wow. Very rare to see the black shield on here! How do you like it?

watchwatcher · 23 January 2020, 12:47 PM

Love the black shield! Is that the factory strap?

bumbershoot · 23 January 2020, 12:50 PM

That would work so well for my job... Kinda stealth.

Should look bad to the bone when riding the all black Ducati. Congrats!

I love it! I wanted a chrono but have tiny wrists so have steered clear. This fits alright, a bit smaller than the Daytona (which I could never afford anyway). I love the fact its ceramic also. I work in the military and stopped wearing my GMT because I kept knocking it and was worried the stainless steel would be scratched. This should hold up much better.

It is, but I really wanted the Alcantera(sp?) strap, alas they did not have one.

franktehtank · 24 January 2020, 04:18 AM

There's something about these Tudor's that I find unconventionally charming. Nice pick up!

Director EDTF · 24 January 2020, 04:50 AM

Enjoy!

Maxy · 24 January 2020, 04:53 AM

Different choice and one which very few people will take! Congrats!

That’s awesome. Would be nice if they expanded this line instead of going with the black bay chrono. Can you imagine a ceramic case, ceramic bracelet, and B01 movement black shield?

That would be awesome. My local dealer had the red version with the leather strap also. I liked it but wanted something that was more neutral.

I think I actually prefer the one you have pictured.

If still interested, though, perhaps the AD could order one for you? Mine ordered me the leather strap for my GMT which came on bracelet. One of the perks of buying Tudor these days...you don't have to play by Rolex quasi-nazi silly rules.

Love your bike!
