I got that email today too. This is the first Tudor watch I've seen that I would legitimately say I prefer over the Rolex version (Explorer 2). 40 mm is perfect as 42 is too big for many and 39 is too small for many. Cleaner bezel than the Explorer 2, and it's only .2mm thicker. The BB Pro is waaaaay too fat. |

I bought the old version a month and a half ago. I half joked to the guy at the shop when I sent it in to the RSC that now that I had one they would reissue it. I still prefer the looks of the old one, but I like that this one is thinner and the GMT. Overall I'd say this was a quality release. The timing is typical of my luck though. My old lady will shit a kitten if I buy a new one before the old one is even back from service though. I should ask the guy at the dealer if he can order the micro-adjust clasp and if it is compatible with the old bracelet. The lack of micro-adjust is my only beef with the old model to be honest. |

Great specs. I really like it. The only thing i dont like is the hard edge at the lugs. But that is just me being a contrarian. Being integrated lugs, it would be cool with a Tudor rubber bracelet. Attached File |

I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.

They must have done a lot of things smarter than you if you find 5k to be a lot of money and they don't. So who's the fool? As for an integrated rubber strap, I agree, that would be very nice. |
