So gorgeous! At a loss for words man!

Thank you @davito and @Anesthetist !

bravo @babyknight
-
Gorgeous @babyknight Could I bother you for a side on picture while on the wrist so I could get a feel for the thickness of the case? Only if you have the chance, of course.

Thank you @madmonday
Sure @Qinhan, here's quick photo with my cellphone - not the best quality but hopefully you get the idea. As with I think most vintage Rolex/Tudor from this era, it's really not that thick especially compared to the modern pieces. It has enough presence to be a sports watch without being overbearing.
-
Thanks @Qinhan , yes I definitely am! It was not a model I was specifically looking for but when I saw the condition of it I moved very quickly - it's a relatively rare model (only produced for a short space of time) and I know enough to know that one doesn't see them in this condition very often at all.
The dealer I bought it from actually just got it from Japan and had it in the US for a couple of days before I was able to snag it.
As with all my vintage pieces, they will be occasional wears rather than daily wears. I wouldn't wear it with a suit but with anything else it goes great.

I love it when I see Babyknight has posted in this thread. Always quality pieces!
@Flash Let me know if I can be of any help with info on copping a Tudor in HK. I'm not sure if you want a Black Bay or vintage. The BB you can get cheaper over here than the UK (particularly if you know an ''auntie'' who works for a watch chain like me, hehe). Retail for the BB with bracelet is HKD 26,800. Vintage Tudor subs are not common - I mostly see the Big Block chronos - but the Vintage Concept has a few for big boy prices… www.thevintageconcept.com

According to aBlogToWatch, Tudor are going to be releasing a new piece at Basel with their first in house movement. It'll be called the North Flag, and feature a COSC rated movement with a silicon mainspring and a 70 hour power reserve.

That's going to be a nice one. I hate the non-standard lugs, though. Part of the fun of owning a watch is swapping straps to change the look, and they've effectively killed that option.

I agree but looks cool. Kinda Seiko Landmasterish.

Found this and wondering if it is too good to be true ?

This is my back up option eventually :
