Good morning gents. I just bought my 1st Tudor, used, from Jomashop. I have purchased from them before and this one checked all the boxes. JS stated it was from 2023, so my question is, have there been any variants to the LHD model either before or after mine? And to be clear, I don’t have it yet, it’s still with UPS.

What I pointed out, seller of this watch (who is on a different platform) stated about half the watches on C24 presented the same way.

if you don’t immediately see it, look down. 3570.50, circa mid 2000s. I also own one, so I saw it right off.

Good morning gents,
I have the itch for a new watch and have been considering the current 44mm SMP chronograph. Shown below is my current 42mm 300m. The 44’s LTL is +3mm larger, and I think that may be too big for me. I am about a 6.75-7” wrist. T...

Good morning gents,
I have the itch for a new watch and have been considering the current 44mm SMP chronograph. Shown below is my current 42mm 300m. The 44’s LTL is +3mm larger, and I think that may be too big for me. I am about a 6.75-7” wrist. Thoughts? I think if I get the 44, the bracelet won’t have any curvature, it’ll just go straight down after leaving the lugs.

The family and I are headed to the Keys next month, and while I know there isn’t an AD there, is there a place you recommend I visit? Preferences are the current no-date Sub or Sea-Dweller 43mm.

This is likely dumb, but everything else being equal, if you have identical watches, identically spec’d and equipped, is there a reason the older watch would be less valuable than the more current? Looking at a 43mm SD, seller has two 126600, the above scenario exists and the older is 10% less expensive. Is there something missing?

Good evening folks. I’ve had my Ocean One Vintage Red for about a month. I have no idea if it’s an ETA 2824-2 or the SW 200, élaboré movement. But either way, I am new to Steinhart and am curious how often you wind yours. I havnt been, due to postings I have seen about wearing out the movement. I wear it daily for about 10 hours, but it’s not keeping the accuracy I would expect. What are you doing with yours?

So…. I am on the list at the local AD for a no-date sub. I stopped by yesterday and they confirmed I can expect to wait until 2027. Ok….

However this just came available locally, but I do not know the seller. A mid-2000s 14060m. Just the watch and no mention…

Good Saturday afternoon gentlemen. Topic is pretty self explanatory. Am on the ‘interest’ list at my local AD for a no-date Rolex sub, but in the meantime am considering a Tudor. Am retired military and prefer tool watches. All three of the ones mentioned in the title are appealing but the specs on the US Navy inspired FXD are more in line with my intent, and I do like the subtle red print.
Anyone here have experience with all three? How available are strap options on the FXD?
