I really, really like it. But the placement of the red bull text is unpleasant.

I'm not quite sure of your meaning. In today's world sponsorship is an integral part of sports from UCI cycle racing, to football, F1 and MotoGP, to sailing. Alinghi has quite a record in the America's Cup and so I see nothing not to like about this FXD edition as compared to other manufacturer's offering (although I recognise that some have a dislike of Red Bull, probably due to the personalities involved in F1). If this edition offers a touch of red, maybe we can look forward to a KTM Racing edition with a splash of orange?

A brand new one on eBay now for RRP, looks like he’s sold a few Tudors in the past, surely he’s losing money on this deal now as I can’t imagine being able to get a discount on these in the shop?
Unless he works for a Tudor dealer and gets them at a massive discount so he’s still making money?
Is that possible?
Hmmmm maybe?
Very tempted to buy it but ideally I’d like to try one on in store first and see it up close, shame my local dealer has no idea when they will get one in.

Until the rehaut was pointed out, I thought the same, had not connected the colours to either RB or the chrono I’d seen previously.
I’d hate to have missed that in the shop & only see it when idly wearing it on my wrist. A non RB version, now I’m with you wanting one of those.

This looks like the Panerai equivalent of the FXD Alinghi?

Plenty on ebay but i'm waiting to see it in the flesh at my local AD's, in hindsght i wish that RD stuff wasnt on it but still a gorgeous watch.
Saw one in the Tudor Boutique in Cribbs last week - really impressed with it! In the flesh the text at the tops not to overpowering. This one was for display, but was told they are fairly easy to get (they had sold one the previous day) They also had a standard FXD in the display window for sale (thats on my wrist now!) Told me they are getting around 1 a month of these (more of the Red Bull) The fact that the Red Bull one is £420 cheaper than the original is a bonus as well!
Nice watch but I couldn’t buy any item with sponsorship by or alignment with Red Bull

Had an email from Ernest Jones over night saying they were available to buy. By the time I saw the email they'd gone. The hunt continues!

If the chronograph version was made in SS I'd happily wear it in spite of the text on the rehaut.
A slim 2 register chrono' is always nice to me.
Just had a message from My AD to say they have one if I fancy it.
If only they hadn't messed up with that rehaut branding!
Viewed both at Goldsmiths last night.
Only really interested in the Chrono as I have an FXD.
I didn't like it at all. Case was already slightly marked, snowflake hour hand way too big obscuring subdials which are not recessed. Looked like a big, busy mess imho of course.
I personally think that the case + bezel insert (black), dial and strap (blue), crown + pushers + bezel edge (titanium), dial + hand + strap accents (red) and branding make both of these very messy designs, lacking in coherence.
At least 1 of these colours or finishes should have been discarded.
£4495!! Come on, just ridiculous.

Jokers, been offered two in the last week. They are very divisive and not that popular.

Try the Tudor Boutique in Cribbs Causeway (Bristol) I brought the original model from them around a month ago (was sitting in the window) They also had the red bull on display, and while deciding on the in stock watch I put my name down for the red bull. They called me early this week to say they had one for me. Turned it down, as prefer the one I have. Was told when I was in there it wasn't a long wait for them.
Their part of WOS (as is Goldsmths) so your spend history will count with them.
Their number is 01179592198
Finally got a call about the chrono today and it’s arriving Thursday. I know they’ll probably be readily available in the near future, but this is now going to be a present to myself for a promotion I recently secured at work. So nice to have it arriving sooner rather than later.
Looks great irrespective of it’s titanium …

Picked mine up last week, much nicer in the flesh and I find the Red Bull branding fairly unobtrusive.

That is looking good,how are you enjoying it so far?
Very good lume,this model is growing on me.
Wish I'd known about this thread and the desperate hunt of some for this watch earlier.
I tried this one on in Westfield Shepherd's Bush on Oct 14th. In the window and for sale there and then. I'd have posted a PSA had I realised. Anyone still looking you never know, it might be worth giving them a call.
I was tempted but the Red Bull branding puts me off unfortunately.
That ones also growing on me.
I wonder whether a non-branded FXD chrono will ever be on the cards, in a more run-of-the-mill titanium case like the rest of the range?
I guess it will, it would be unlike Tudor to come up with a new variation and then not use it for other colour and material choices
Tried on the three hander this week. I found the branding barely noticeable, and liked the colour scheme.
There is a Tudor "roadshow" at the local AD soon, hope to do a side by side for all variations then.
