Just got this beauty in and am loving it! Wasn't thrilled with the rep bracelet that it came on as the safety clasp would not stay shut so I swapped in a heavier bracelet from an old kenneth cole watch. It actually doesn't look too bad on there and adds some pretty signficant weight to the thing.

Hey guys - got this one from Toro - a TD on some of the other sites but not mentioned much here from what I've seen. He's great to work with - very responsive to emails and questions and sends tons of pics of anything you want, assuming he can get it. Only thing I recommend is opt for the more expensive EMS shipping option. I went cheapie on the regular china post and it took almost a month to get to the U.S. EMS is like a week tops to your door. If you want more specifics PM me and I'll forward them along since he is technically not a TD here I think but am not sure. Oh and the iPhone pics above do not do this thing justice - much more impressive in the flesh!

Awesome watch, that is No 1 on my "next" purchases list . I assume that is the quartz? Watch Eden has this one, as well as the black and white dial versions. I like the grey dial as well, it looks more traditional Tudor and more unique in a sea of black dialed watches. Nice!

Yup - It's a quartz so the chrono actually works well which is nice. Watch Eden was my first stop but was informed that they were out of stock and wouldn't have them again for several months (this was back in December though). I agree the grey dial is a great complement to the traditional workplace watch parade - you stand out but not too much!

Very nice, congrats! You should try and get a replacement bracelet or clasp.

Although this watch is so wrong on so many levels it's still a great watch on it's own merits! If we only had a correct clasp I would feel much better but it doesn't keep me from wearing mine. It is my "go-to" watch when I will be away from home for more than a day or two. Being powered by a Miyota OS1 movement it keeps exceptional time in the year I've had it!

I settled on the "Black" one.

JMB, awesome pics. I must admit that black dial looking great. I'm going to have a hard time making up my mind. Would you mind revealing what dealer it came from. Have you opened it up to see that movement? Thx

What a pity about the too shiny sub dials. that's a deal breaker for me and I love this watch.

TB - The watch is wrong on so many other details this didn't really matter to me. I just look at it as a fairly neat watch on it's own merits plus over on this side of the pond (with no Tudor dealers) I feel the possibility of bumping into anyone who would know the difference is minimal.

Maybe - I had my parts guy snag them off taobao.com (sort of a Chinese looking fleabay site) for me. The samples I received contained a Miyota OS1 movement. I received these before any of the various forum TDs started carrying them. I reviewed it here:
