    Yes it does!
    And a bargain to boot. A friend of mine has just spent considerably more on a Steinhart GMT, which although very nice (I have the Ti version) has an "office" movement. I'd be interested in how it wears at 38mm.

    Hmm 38mm with 20mm lug width can't see that working for me.

    That is a properly good-looking watch - design-wise I prefer it to the humble, mundane offerings with which Tudor and Rolex attempt to compete!

    38mm with a thickness of 15mm… that’s very chunky.

    Dang, I know that the ~2mm is for the crystal but I do wish it were thinner.

    Same with the Commander, although it did wear better than the dimensions suggest.

    This looks amazing, I love this watch! It’s probably the light, and assume it’s black, but the bezel on vintage white dial looks blue? Will register my details to find out about store opening although I understand it’s very hard to actually secure an order, cracking watch Eddie

    Fingers crossed.

    How did everyone get on?
    I got a confirmation of order at 2.01.25, having had to confirm shopify with text, and a mastercard code with text.
    So a white one will be on its way to me soon I hope. Order 944*

    Bagged a white one.

    No thanks to Barclays verification via app and my phone in a different room.

    I ordered the vintage white despite being on a train and using the wifi. Even typed in my cc details but no verification required!

    Disappointing that it doesn’t include “Great Britain” at 6 like the Everests

    If anyone has waif like wrists that could post a few side profile shots that would be marvellous.

    I second this request. People thought the Tudor GMT was thick. I think part of the charm of having a small diameter watch is also the thinness. If a watch is too thick, it's better to be balanced with a bigger diameter. People are going back to the joys of a perfectly dimensioned watch and how it looks on one's own wrist. Thanks.

    That's lovely. I know that it'll be at least a couple of weeks before you decide to part with it :-) but when you do I'd be very interested...

    It's not surprising though, given how hard it seems to be to buy from TF these days...

    The blued hands compliment the bezel colour really well.

    At least yours has arrived. My order says “unfulfilled” so I’ve no idea when I’ll receive mine. Card payment has been authorised but not taken yet

    I went for the white, I have a lot of dark dialled watches, the white looks great and appropriately summery for the perfect travel watch. I will try and get some prfile shots, and try a few strap options. I have a hunch it'll look great on a sand canvas.

    Mines still at "unfulfilled" status.

    I wonder if they sold a lot of these?

    Looking forward to some more arrival pics whilst waiting.

    I have an Ivory white Joseph Bonnie tropic which might work pretty well, looking forward to experimenting
