Nice! Did you have to modify it to work with fixed lugs?

That's what I initially thought, that it was an Erika, but I'm wearing one at the moment and the clasp is different. It's not an NDC or a Watch Steward either...

That's nice - which strap is that?

I picked up my replacement Tudor strap last Friday, which was a nice surprise regarding the speed of delivery, so if anyone is after the shorter Tudor strap they seem to be in stock at the moment.

A quick update on this. My AD got back to me on Friday and have confirmed that they'll be exchanging my strap for a new replacement, which is a nice surprise result. They've ordered one but there's...

The velcro is fine when new, it's just as it ages it becomes less reliable. I'm still waiting to hear what Tudor say, I'll hopefully get some feedback tomorrow.

At £60 they're not that much cheaper than an Erika's at £70, plus as the Erika's is made to your size there's no flappy ends or trimming them yourself. Plus there are more colour options!

On this subject, I've had my FXD around 12 months now and I ordered the shorter Tudor fabric strap on the day of collection. The strap turned up a couple of months later at the end of May, so 9...

Or being a new shop it had no preferred customer or waiting list?

Tudor bracelets aren't great in my experience, and the whole fixed lugs design is of course the very essence of the Pelagos FXD.

It's a fabulous piece of kit just as it is and it's my exit watch.

There are loads for sale, and more appear to be coming through to ADs at the moment. Over RRP prices can't be sustained IMHO so don't pay over the odds would be my advice.

Definitely buy one...

You can also buy a shorter version of the Tudor velcro strap. A medium comes with the watch, but it's also available in short and long.

I now have the short, after a couple of months wait, and...

I've had mine a couple of months and I still find it as fabulous as the first day I got it. It's currently on an older silver NATO while I wait for the shorter OEM strap to be delivered (ordered...

I think they knew all along. It's a marketing dream taken out of the Rolex/Omega/Porsche/etc notebook.

It seems like it may potentially be a low production watch rather than low at first before supplies increase, but who knows for sure?

They still seem to be scarce. One watch per AD per quarter seems to be the current supply rate?

Got the call yesterday, watch #2 at my AD and the first M.N.22 they'd received after the initial M.N.21 last December.

Best watch in the world for me, bar none, and the watch I've been waiting for...

Cheers - trickling through then!

It's not as simple as that I'm afraid. Marketing is a huge influence now on products, and supplying less than is demanded can work wonders.

See Rolex steels sports watches and Porsche GT products.

I know they've been delivered to other countries, I wasn't sure about the UK though...

Exactly the same here, although I didn't get the new financial year info. Just we haven't had any more since the one and only example they received late last year.

I've not heard about/seen any...

Nice one, and congrats :chuncky:

Prestons in Wilmslow per chance, given your Cheshire location?
