Was so happy for him…Srs picture isn't doing justice. And yes I feel the same about the power reserve. Also that fluid second hand via the spring drive is hnnnnngggg

Should be posting my Aqua Terra in the coming weeks…definitely confirmed through trying on a few more that the AT is the play.

Tried on the below and it was a wrap lol…absolutely love it…looking to purchase late May/early June hopefully

Something like $200-$600 I believe depending on the style

I've tried both and prefer the bracelet…I will probably get a nato strap down the road just for variety. The rubber strap is over $700 or something like that.

Would think this price is correct. Sounds about right.

And weird….the bracelet is pretty nice with the butterfly setup.

I’d personally sell it to a jeweler like DavidSW or crown and caliber. You’ll definitely get less than you would selling it private, but that’s more of a hassle and more risk.

Idk I’ve only sold thru crown and caliber. And both watches they ended up marking up around 2k from what they gave me.

They gave me 11k for a sub they sold for 13k

Gave me 3900 for an aqua terra they listed for 5,500.

They’re making a killing

It appears tudor's release is a blacked out ceramic Black Bay with cream indices - https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watche...m79210cnu-0001

Won't lie, it kinda looks the business. However my bronze taught me that I hate watches that don't have a date function. I was also hoping this ceramic dial had BB58 proportions (39mm), the ceramic is 41mm so it strikes me as one of those pieces have to be worn/seen in person, but at least the strap appears to be tapered.

That said, if they're keeping their chronographs "in the back", i can only imagine how difficult it would be to see one of these in the wild. Priced decently at $4,725, but my i only qualm is that no one was really asking for a tudor ceramic???? A GMT with bb58 proportions, bracelets without faux rivets, a bracelet that tapered. All "wishlist" things i've seen on forums, i've never seen someone ask for fooking ceramic BB

An Apple Watch has as much flex appeal as a Movado IMO for something that isn't a respected mechanical watch

I really think Apple did a number on a lot of these low-end fashion watch brands like Fossil, Movado, etc. No point in buying a $300 watch to try and flex when you can just wear an Apple Watch instead (srs)
