      Lovely watch there Ddtrash.

      Incidentally, for all you Tudor fans, the Heritage Black Bay won the Revival Prize in the 2013 Grand Prix d'Horologerie de Geneve. That puts it in amongst some pretty exalted company. Oh, and the Habring2 Pilot's Watch I posted above got the Petite Aiguille gong.

      More over at Hodinkee.

        Although all the new Tudor models look good, (a surprise for me, as I'm not a fan of Rolex styling, generally speaking) I think the Heritage Chrono Blue is the cream of the crop.  That's just a sexy watch.

          It is nice to see Tudor come from out of the shadow of the parent company.  The new designs are very nice and work well as pieces in their own right.  They suffered for years from the image of being the "poor mans Rolex".

          I love the fact that the Pelagos dive watch is the first titanium case watch that a Rolex group brand has commercially attempted.  Looks like Tudor may be the new proving ground for Rolex group technologies and materials.

          With the new designs it looks like Tudor is fashioning it's own identity.

          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

            I'm glad the Black Bay won. I've had mine for about six months and love the thing. In about a week I'm going to pop it on the fabric strap it came with while we are on vacation.

              ...With the new designs it looks like Tudor is fashioning it's own identity.

              I agree with you on Tudor's perception issue and the direction of their new designs, and I hope you're right about them forging a new identity.  Like I said, I like all of their new models; I'd like to see more good things from them.

                    Just been watching the Sotherby's Red Auction. I had half an eye on a customised Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox with a red dial.

                    But it got up to $200K, and that was a bit too rich for me! :o

                    I saw the watch when it was on display at Sotherby's in London, and it was a nice looking piece. Had it gone for the estimate ($10K to $15K), it would have been a good buy.

                      I've tired of watches that only exist in, and can only document the passage of time in, this dimension, so for my next timepiece I'm looking for something with little more flexibility…

                      Think it, be it.

                        I have that. I bought it in 2026.

                                  Pink Mille Miglia spotted in Watches of Switzerland yesterday. I'm not sure if it's completely tasteless or rather cool.

                                  And a Doctor Who themed diving watch by the Orange Watch Company. More at aBlogToWatch.

                                    Your first thought re the MM was correct 🙂

                                          Just got back from Nassau, what a watch lovers Mecca. Almost bought another Tudor but my ever present and realistic wife talked me down.
