And I have to say I love it. I’m a fan of the colour pink and Salmon but understand it’s not for everyone.
Tudor say that’s good as they won’t make many. Ummmmmm time will tell if that is true or not. What do you guys think about the numbers on this Porky chronograph from Tudor ? Whilst the 5 link bracelet is good I think I will be putting the oyster style on soon.

This is a very interesting release from Tudor.

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.

I agree..

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.
