Unfortunately I’m 50/50 on their MT calibers. I bought a BB58 925 (sterling silver case) earlier this year from an AD. After a month the movement would stop moving while wearing it. Wasn’t an issue with winding. Brought it back and they sent it back to Tudor for review. Tudor confirmed it’s defective and needs parts replaced. They’ve had it since early July. I’ve been told it will be done in December. So after buying a brand new luxury watch and wearing it one month, I’ve had to be without said watch for almost 6 months. The AD said refund or replacement was not possible.

Probably the last Tudor I ever buy.

Yeah, that totally blows! My experience with Tudor has been only positive, and obviously there is a mechanical turkey every once in a while. After owning nine (!) faultless BMW's, my brother bought a 6-series GT and experienced catastrophic engine failure within 12K miles! The dealer sent it back to Munich for BMW to study, and put a new engine in it. The car's been fine since.

Worst new watch experience I ever had was with a Selitta-powered Sinn. The watch was never right, and I finally gave up trying to get Sinn to make it right while avoiding sending it back to Germany. Finally I paid my watchmaker to put an ETA 2836 into it and it was fine. Sold it to a friend and the thing lives to this day...

I swore a vow against Selitta-powered watches after that Sinn, but just recently broke my vow and bought a Laco A-dialed flieger with a manual wind Selitta something or other in it. So far, so good....

Strap is Horween shell in Whiskey if anyone's wondering.

I will look forward to it!

A field watch paired with a Fieldmaster:

This is a fake pairing as I’m not actually carrying my Hunter Camo, but it seemed like good visual pairing.

Perfect!

That Tudor is lovely, I'm sorely tempted to get one, but there are a couple of others on the list as well

What’s on your want list?

A Vertex M100 is at the top, when they get more of them! And a Breitling Shark, a watch I regretted selling as soon as it was gone. Oh and a Seamster 300 Spectre edition, to match my AT Spectre.

Seiko PADI + Wenger Traveler

I have this watch, kinda wish I went with another but I like it because each hour has a number rather then just a mark, anyway my one problem is my wrist size and wearing the strap it’s in the 2nd to last hole, so I was wondering if anyone knows a good band I can swop it out with? It’s supposedly a 18mm..

You should get a nato strap.
