Congratulations - I am also patiently waiting for the call. A watch that catches many itches!
Having a Tudor start to 2023.
Following my find a few weeks ago of my 79220b which I’d been looking for for a while they say watches can be like buses. Wait for a while then they all come at once. Well I wasn’t expecting the call I had from my AD on Friday saying that my FXD had arriv...
Congrats
Congrats in securing this beauty. Is it a MN23? I'm still expecting mine to be delivered: the waiting is getting difficult to handle after 6 months now...
I know it can be frustrating.
I’m sure you will get your call from the AD soon. Yes mine was a MN23 which I was surprised at as it was so early in 2023 delivered. I guess they have a cut off in 2022 production when they become 23’s. I was told there were no more MN22’s available anywh...
Thank you Nico.
It takes a lot to excite me these days. All the craziness and hype of some brands has always bored me stupid. Tudor are innovative, daring and achievable. What more do you want???? M.
I like the watch but I think the term "fixed spring bars" is a contradiction in terms
Do you mean you can only use a NATO strap or one that folds around a pin which is fixed in place? Or are the straps retained by the pin which is pressed in from one side and retained by friction? Or is the pin screwed into place? I can't tell from the pho...
Here is a picture of case back.
Fixed spring bars mean fixed. Yes none removable. Only Nato style straps will fit. So like the Rolex 5513/5517 Mil sub where they were welded into the case for the MOD. Hope that clears it up. M. ...
Thanks, that clarifies what I wondered about
There are many ways to retain straps but some variations (like this one) demand a certain kind of strap... You could put a leather one on and rivet it, or use a special screw instead of a rivet, like this: . But the NATO is probably the favored solution a...
very nice watch from Tudor, congratulations
I was very close to picking one up at my AD last year but I had to admit to myself that I would always reach for the blue BB 58 out of my box when opting for a blue Tudor so I finally declined. Enjoy it in great health!
BB58 blue also a lovely watch.
The blues are very similar. Slightly more pastel blue on the FXD. M.
I know what you mean.
It ticks lots of boxes for me. I look forward to seeing yours soon. Hope the wait isn’t too long. M.
Couldn't agree with you more!
I've had mine for over a year now and still can't get enough of it, for all the reasons you say here! ...
That’s good to hear.
I completely understand your feelings. I think this might get a lot of my time for a while. I’ll let you know in a year just how much. Cheers. Miles.
