I know that it’s very popular right now. But do you think it’ll stand the test of time?Personally I think it looks great, especially if you don’t take things too seriously.
Is it now to "miami fc" or cycling team? I am a bit confused. The watch is lovely, for sure. I might get one as well.
Interesting for sure and daring to be fair which is what I love about Tudor. They do put their Balls on the block and I admire that. Others are so predictable. Depends on production run I guess if it will stand the test of time but either way as a Chrono lover I do genuinely like it as I like pink and it is a perfect summer beach watch. Just nice to wear a watch and enjoy that not everyone will be wearing. Thank you for your thoughts. M.
My take on it is Miami more than anything else and to be associated with David Beckham who to be fair has made Tudor Cooler than they would otherwise have been IMO. I for one would love to be as cool as David Beckham 😎😎 M.
I’ve liked this chrono since its release, albeit the size is a bit too much for me. This dial makes it super fun, and less serious. A shame the date wheel wasn’t pink or black. Small issue, one could still live it though! Enjoy this one.
however, too bright for me although I like pink in general. Best pink dial for me is the Rolex OP in candy pink - my wife has got one in 36 and I'd have one too if it would have come in 41
