Introducing: The 2015 Tudor Fastrider Black Shield
Tudor has just introduced the latest version of its Fastrider Chronograph, which is a part of its ongoing partnership with Ducati. The newest version of the Fastrider Chronograph Black Shield breaks somewhat with earlier incarnations of the Fastrider in offering a matte black treatment of the ceramic case and bezel, and was inspired by Ducati's new XDiavel, which has been described as "a cruiser with the spirit of a superbike." The partnership between Ducati and Tudor began in 2011. 1 OF 4 Ducati XDiavel, 1262 cc V-twin, belt drive, 156 bhp, new for 2015. 2 OF 4 As with previous Fastrider Black Shield models, the big technical asset being sent into the field here is the ceramic case (the original Fastriders were steel). The case is an injection molded monobloc (one piece) construction and it's being used here for its almost complete impervious to scratches. Tudor will offer the watch at $4,925 (both rubber or leather strap) by special order f

Omega vs IWC
Which would you buy? Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra or IWC Pilot Mark XVII? Both comparable in price, performance & style albeit technically one is a diver and the other a pilot's watch.

SMP purchase
With The Rolex Forum down for a couple days; I had it in my head that I was missing a Seamaster. The white dial is flashy! Should be delivered Fri or Sat.

Patek Packaging
I haven't been privileged to own a patek yet, but was wondering after browsing the for sale section about the packagingin some pics I see a little burgundy cardboard box with a see thru window, and on some pics I see a nice wooden box, are they packaged differently by model ?

Heartbreak with SD43
So after waiting 6 months to get my hands on my first new Rolex (normally a vintage Sub guy) it finally arrived, a brand spanking new SD43. After trying every micro adjustment and combination of number of link etc, I have come to the decision that it's just not comfortable for me. It is a seriously beautiful watch, but for my 7 inch wrist it just seems too heavy and not ideal for the daily watch that I was hoping for. I guess its back to Vintage for me. Sometimes you gotta know when to fold em.
