Tudor Fastrider

[Dave+63]

I've been looking at these since they were first released. I thought they'd be really popular as they're relatively inexpensive, good quality and have a tie in with Ducati.

Why does no one seem to like them?

Your input would be most appreciated, I don't want to buy a turkey!

Cheers

Unless there's a synergy between the two brands, these sorts of collaborations are typically just marketing spins that often end up alienating potential customers who don't want to link to the second brand.

And in this case, it also looks a bit crap - IMO :P

I must admit the black one on a bracelet looks better. They're cheap though, less than 2 grand for a watch that's under a year old! Says it all really I suppose.

Not sure that 2 grand is "cheap" for a slightly iffy looking 7750-powered chrono... When they stopped using Rolex cases Tudor's went way off track to me - they seem more like a budget brand in their offerings these days.

I like them a lot....Would still like to obtain one soon

I really like the Ducati version, that red just pops





Also the grey version is not so bad. Nice detail also, from racing stripes on the dial to Wankel date corrector. I would have one in my collection!

The silver version looks good to me, not too keen on the ducati red one.

Could be really good if they made the dial a little less busy - I suggest losing the Arabic hours and replacing them with bone white batons, for what it's worth. :) :)

Far too much going on there..... :pukeleft:

Not for everyone, but they are stretching the box in their new offerings

I really like that ... For sub £2K second hand, it's a tempting proposition :)

Tudor did produce one with markers rather than Arabic numerals :) See below ...

I think I prefer the dial with the Arabic numerals!

[Nono]

IMHO, the arabic indexes go far better with the design of the watch. Did i said that i like that "wankel" date corrector?



Love it!!! 8)
