A bit too on the nose. I would have implemented the pink more artistically.

Maybe a pink degrade dial, like the fume dial on the latest bronze diver? Or pink in the subdials, or pink hands? Just a flat pink dial cheapens it, IMO. Makes it look like giveaway promotional merchandise.

It’s not to my taste but “different

courses for different horses!” I’m sure some will like it and I applaud Tudor for stepping out.
