    This just popped up on ABTW. Seems to be the case. A fair few variations too.

    Roman numerals are always a 'No' from me.

    The price is right, the blue is beautiful but the bezel lets it down.

    I think this is a step up from the Glamour and other dressier Tudor range to date. Ooodles of size, material and dial options make this quite a large range, but the insistence on Roman numerals may distance some buyers.
    The 38mm date only in blue with full numerals is the pick of the bunch for me.
    Attractive prices too, i think these will sell well

    Sure it’ll appeal to many.

    For me it had three big flaws/things I’ve always disliked of any brand:

    Fluted bezel. Reminds me of seedy middle-aged men in the 1970s, so a no from me
    Roman numerals
    The Citizen-style PCLs

    This news has made my day 🙌🏽 - I’m looking to buy one of these in the next few months and was dreading the thought of going grey market

    It seems to be taking a fair amount of negativity from certain quarters. Many are asking that if Tudor wants to be seen as a stand alone brand then why have they produced a cheap down ETA version of Rolex Datejust and daydate.

    It appears from the images coming out to be a fairly attractive piece but it will undoubtedly draw many unfavourable comparison to the more illustrious Datejusts etc.

    Would be interested but the integrated bracelet and getting it to fit properly makes it a no.

    I quite like these.

    Blue dial in 38mm would be rather nice. Not a fan of Roman Numerals, and to my surprise I quite like the idea of the diamond indices (normally not a fan). Also like the nods to the old engine-turned bezels & Oysterquartz-style case.

    Good price too. ETA movements have never turned me off, so I don’t mind that either.

    It’s looks terrible to me.
