That’s a nice dial!

 

Seiko releasing ice colored dials soon. What's a collector to do? Other than just stop.. Help me Mom

 

The 3rd one would be my choice here > > >, the light fume style really works for me Seiko doing what is does well, dials and cases

 

I’m considering a new purchase as I have a bit of money to commemorate a long service award. I’d have to put my own money to it, but considering options in the sub 3k price bracket.

 

I have to say it’s hard to displace Tudor in terms of s propositionin this price bracket…. Really hard

 

Can only tell you that now when I finally have a Tudor, I am wondering why I didn't buy one a long time ago. Amazing value for money and a wonderful experience on wrist

 

Any particular model you're considering? @TonyStark

 

Not to mention the movement. My BB58 is the most accurate watch I own, along with my Rolex Sub ref 14060m. Both are less than +1 sec/day. The Rolex technology in the Tudor movement is quite evident to me, as the distinctive sound is exactly the same when I put them next to my ear.

 

Yup mine is running isch +1 sec per day.

Worth mentioning too though with many complaining or expressing concerns about the H02, mine runs about 1,5+ per day so I am very happy with that too. Dont need Rolex tech to run well

 

My H02 is all over the place; sometimes seems fairly accurate at perhaps < +3secs/day and at other times seems more like +12secs/day. I guess the average is around +6 secs.

Interestingly, my most accurate mechanical TAG Heuer is my 90s Monaco with a Selitta movement. It's much better compared to my C12 Monaco Gulf or C11 McQueen.

Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw with TAG Heuer. But from what I've seen of Rolex/Tudor, the accuracy results are more consistent.

 

Yes you have experience with more mechanical TAGs than me and I have never owned a Roooolex so wouldn't know about that. I might have been lucky with my TAGs, my H01 was also very precise. I dont bother much about precison though, as long as its not crazy off.

 

My most accurate Tag is the Monza Calibre 17.
It's running at +1sec a day. Crazy good.

 

Does anyone own a Tudor that isn't a Black Bay?

 

I don't own a Tudor, is that also good?

 

Just back from an evening of watch browsing.

I was quite surprised that the Rolex AD had quite a few pieces to show. But these were not for sale. Rolex is now supplying ADs with "Exhibition Only" watches, since I suppose it looks bad that their display cases are always empty. These pieces can not be sold, as the movements are rendered inoperable by Rolex. The sales guy told me that even their master tech can't get them to work, it requires some "magic" part that only Rolex can supply.


The JLC Polaris keeps grabbing my attention, though I'd probably opt for something from Omega, given the price of the JLC.


Last but not least, I got to see the new Night Diver Aquaracer. I really liked it. But I feel it's just a tad too big for my wrist's comfort zone.

 

I visited a Rolex AD here in Texas a few days ago. Not a single one was for sale, not even on the women's side. All the display cushions were empty, incredible. I was there a year ago and at least they had some "common" Oysters and Datejusts and lotsa ladies watches. It looks pathetic, wish I'da taken a few pics of the emptiness. But that wouldn't be much fun

 

Night diver looks so sharp. Did you find that the rubber makes it wear bigger? It does look as if the shape of the strap extends the lug width quite a bit

 

I don't think it's the rubber strap, just the overall size of the case that's slightly bigger than I'd like. But it's not bad at all.

The strap is not fitted to my wrist in the pic, it's just dangling open. It actually wears very nicely when I pull the strap tightly around my wrist.

 

+1 (on the vote of confidence of Calibre17, not +1 s/d)

 

So Tudor...before or after Breitling now...?
