After a pause, he went on: If you were a young watch reporter in the late 1970s, you didn't know much, but you did know one thing. You knew that the trusty tick-tock, which had had a good 400-year run, was doomed. You knew that because everybody in the industry told you so.

Does anyone have this? Could you post some pictures? I think this is the one I want, but the only pictures I've seen online are of the face of the watch (amazon, alan furman). If you have this particular reference, do you like it? I like the markers better than the 2264.50, but how do the skeleton hands work for you?Thanks in advance- Chris

Incoming...a first diver's and a first Tudor!
Not that I go diving. I don't even know how to swim. But I think would be great for Florida- soon to be home!This is what someone would call an impulse buy. But love it. My first Tudor and pretty impressed by the qaulity. Being the sister company, the box design is the same as Rolex! The snowflake hands might take a while getting used to. But the bronze case and the leather strap looks and feels awesome! Gives it that vintage look. The brown bezel is great. The inner case ring has this copper sublte copper tone to it, which makes it unique. The quality of the watch is comparable to the Rolex. Except it doesn't has those little things. Overall a great watch and value for money and something completely different. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
