Ah ha. I see, you're one of those compulsive watch collectors. I've been warned to stay away from crazy people like you... you are so going to be staring at your wrists over the next few days.

Unwrapped sized and looking good; the whiter hands are barely noticable, no worse so than any other TBBs posted on this thread. Very pleased indeed, classy piece going to get its maiden outing tomorrow.

Breitling Chrono Evo also excellent, vanilla scent on rubber strap an unexpected brucey-bonus; only problem is YOU HAVE TO CUT THE STRAP TO SIZE YOURSELF! YIKES

Special thanks to Ryan for an unrivalled awesome service; 7 days from payment to delivery, only 3 days in shipping via DHL!

Will post pics of TBB out and about in tomorrow's promised good weather.

Hmmm, what next; TBB blue and Explorer I when released maybe?

Real review will need to wait, but the summary is that the bezel and crown feel more generic gen than any other rep I have had. I don't have a gen Tudor to compare it to but it feels similar to my gen SMP.
Overall finishes are a step above reps as well in the brushing and clasp feel.

Thanks for sharing ...The V1 i had was nice feeling also...So i'm glad to hear they didn't change that!...Looks like they fixed the pimple on top of the insert too!

Am beginning to think that Tudor is the Maserati to the Rolex Ferrari; same components bin, equally as capable but much less brash!

No way Jose! This watch totally rocks; the greenish lume against the rose gold hands is totally unique.

Haven't been able to stop looking at it today! Got bored in traffic:

I'd seriously consider trading my gen Datejust for a gen TBB

Very happy, very happy indeed

Hey. Your watch looks just like mine! I hope we don't show up at the same party ... I'll be embarrassed.

Been talking back and fourth with Lucy, and she is standing firm that her friend is telling her it is V2. Here are some QCs: what do you guys think?

that still looks like a V1, at best V1.5, but not what they claim as the V2.

The pearl cup is still to thick a profile.

I know. And it seems like such a simple thing to fix! But in all of the pics people post, it's always the first (and usually only) wrong thing I notice.

I'm surprised I don't see any kind of easy simple mods being done by people on the forums.

But the pearl placement on Azurax's pictures looks quite good.

I love it. It´s a wonderful where classic meets modern vintage watch. And it´s got a fantastic quality feel to it. Can´t stop wearing it. And it feels even better on a strap.
