    New arrival and SOTC 2020

    I should probably put these pictures into the grouped threads, but given the new arrival and comparison to the Seamaster Ti, I thought I'd do my own thread. Plus, I've not done an SOTC for years.

    Have been after a Tudor all year and finally bit the bullet a couple of days ago and used a 10% off Earnest Jones voucher that we had from somewhere. I don't think it was supposed to work for purchases of their high end watches, but online.....it did!

    Arrived at lunchtime today. I love it. Super beefy and more chunky than a Submariner, it has a lot of heft! The red writing and bezel triangle give it a real nice lift, and under my 10x loupe, I must say, the quality of finish is superb. I'd like to get a red or black Black Bay bezel insert fitted to it, if I can source one.

    Interestingly, it feels bigger on the wrist than the Omega Seamaster Titanium, despite being a little smaller. Both quite similar watches on paper, but very different to wear! Comparison photo below.













    Heres the SOTC December 2020. Just the Yachtmaster 37mm in for my wife and the new Tudor for me. Oh, and a Timex beater to replace a Casio G-Shock.

    Very nice indeed, congratulations and good work getting the discount to go through.

    Love the titanium Seamaster, one of my favourite modern Seamasters.

    Great collection you have there.

    Great collection and a very nice addition. If I've got a choice I'll have the 35th anniversary Speedmaster.

    Great choice. I’ve had my BB Steel for a year and I still love it!

    Nice collection and also love the titanium Seamaster.

    I seem to prefer divers with bezels that match the case so think this is nicer than the standard black bays. Nice collection as well, a good balance with old and new. Enjoy!

    Oh. That one got sent back. Decided it’s too similar to the Seamaster Ti and nowhere near as comfy to wear.

    Looking to add a Tudor GMT and/or a Yachtmaster 16622.

    Have thought about this Tudor often. Might have to try out one.

    I really like that with the steel bezel.
    Does this one have the ETA movement?
