The one watch I am desparate to try on! I went to all the tudor places in Hong Kong as tudor is pretty well represented there and no one seemed to know when the watch was due. I thought end of july. I am wondering if the negative Basel reaction coupled with production problems has delayed release? Or is it another watch that never was?
Perhaps it really was a joke ?
My local ad said they were expecting them in october

ADs should have demonstration models available to try on? I tried one on in my AD in July. Have to say they look better in the flesh then they do in the pics. I actually quite liked it.
Oh wow, I will keep waiting
Good to know they are being released. I will keep an eye out

I hope that an oyster bracelet could be altered to fit it, then it would look perfect
Ive been waiting to see these as I quite like the odd/different design.
I thought it was absolutely awful at the time - I have to admit I actually don't mind it now. Though I haven't seen one in the metal. I think it was just disappointment that it wasn't the sub everyone thought it was going to be (even though I wasn't particularly interested in a sub anyway!).Quote:

I am gonna keep a look out, although the back bay steel looks a bit like it from a distance

The original looked so much meaner... with those double holes on the lugs and the really thick domed acrylic. About as prototype as it gets.
Yes the original has a more chunky look and the dial and bezel looks less spaced out. However I still want to see it in the flesh
If anybody sees one of these in store anywhere on their travels please let me know as I would like one of these.
So the reason why I think it won this abomination won a GPHG prize - the Ming watch which was a main competitor won one of the main prizes - 'Revelation' and a watch cannot win 2 awards at GPHG - a fact not well publicised. At a guess Ming topped of the 'Challenge' category as well but because of this silly rule, whoever came second in the voting takes the prize.....Quote:

Someone has posted on TRF that there is a waiting list of 200+ at Harrods which I have no reason to challenge but nevertheless find incredible even thought the win in the "Challenge" category this year at GPHG will have raised the profile of this piece. It is not going to appeal to everyone that's for sure but in my watch box full of divers it is a breath of fresh air and fun to wear as well as being strangely comfortable.

Sorry Ben, saw it at Schiphol airport. Very distinctive, the crown position especially. It was €3082, for reference.Quote:

I was initially horrified by it but I have to say the more videos I see the more I think it's not as terrible as it initially looked.
The best thing about the dial is the absence of jumbo white gold framed lume plot surrounds and no faux patina!Quote:

You are absolutely right there.Quote:

I’d love to see one in the flesh Jon. Is it local, in the Midlands?
Starting to like these..gods knows why !
I made a trip to an AD a couple of weeks ago thinking they would probably have one in stock judging by the general reaction to them. However, they haven’t had one yet which I thought was strange considering it was showcased so long ago. I am really intrigued by it, just hope it looks as good in the flesh.
Yes mate.Quote:

A tool watch with a very pure vintage inspired dial, no silly aged patina, a stunning build quality and a genuine heritage.
Now mounted on a tropic using the stock deployant
