Ha! Beat me to the punch.

While the size is great and I’m sure many are thrilled by the news of the newfound wearability, that FXD style dial kills any depth the other models in the line up possess.

Happy with my original 2 liner but happy for others that have been waiting for another size.

I don't know about this one. I like the size, and the T-fit clasp although it's not as sexy as the full size Pelagos clasp. But, if I was gonna go for a no date diver from Tudor, I think I'd almost rather go with a BB58. At 39mm, steel vs titanium seems less relevant to me.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Must have. Can’t wait to see it. Already texted my AD. Sadly Tudor didn’t deliver it yet.


Ideally would be 40mm but dang it’s 98% perfect.
All Titanium. No date. Tfit clasp. Red accent. 11.8mm thick ImageImage

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Nice. Adding to the list of Tudor's I'd like to try someday.

+1 on that. 2 line > 4 line > FXD dial

Damnit, just when I was done buying new watches, Tudor went and made the perfect dive watch. I personally find this superior in every way to the Rolex Sub. There are two watches that I was really hoping would be built... a smaller Pelagos and a U50 Pro... and now they both exist. This will compliment my U50 Pro perfectly. Even less than 12mm thick.

Tudor has made my exit watch.

Damn the hits just keep coming! I have a 2 liner that I still love so not sure I will go for this at least not for quite a while. I want the FXD first!

This thing is about perfect though, Ti, T-fit, great size, and no-date I mean that is perfect!

Perfect!!!! The only reason I currently don't own a BB is that the hands (snowflake) don't match round plots. This is the right size and properly configured.

So cool Lance, the more variations the merrier right?! ;) :)

Yup, have to agree, Tudor seems to be all about perfection when you think
about it. ..Want to thank you for the look, as well as report !!!

Wait, but those aren't the original hands. You threw me off for a minute.

Yes I had the LHD a couple years back. I liked it but thought it would be perfect if they slimmed it down a bit.

I’m having second thoughts… Satin Sun Ray dial and bezel doesn’t really sound good. Maybe if I was a chick…

All original. Tudor made a brief run of round marker snowflake subs. I was lucky enough to score one all original with receipt from a jeweler in Switzerland. I stupidly sold it to Wu, who sold it maybe a year ago to someone. Don’t know who, he wouldn’t tell me.

Agree.
Satin sunray dials have scared me away from certain Seiko… not sure about this one unless I see it in person. I really wish it was matte. Would match the classic aesthetics.
