Synchronicity

When you "hang" around watch forums long enough people start getting watches at the same time.


I can definitely relate to Robin's new Black Bay Black and GMT-Master II BLNR arrivals.

FedEx just delivered my first modern Tudor:

Tudor North Flag

Pardon the tags and stickers are still on the watch.  It's been in my possession less than an hour smile

A new watch from the House of Wilsdorf and not just new colorways Jocke ;-)

- First Tudor in-house movement (cal. MT5621) w/ 70 hr power reserve
- First Tudor (and probably first Rolex product) with power reserve on the dial
- First Tudor with a see-through sapphire caseback
- Ceramic ring around the bezel
- Integrated bracelet (last seen on the Oysterquartz, 1530 Date, and Ranger II)

Congratulations on your new acquisition and I hope you get to enjoy it for a long time! Have been repeatedly tempted by the watch, felt somewhat unsure after trying it on but it may still be my first Tudor. So I would be very interested in your ownership ... 

I got hooked on this Tudor the first time I saw the news about its release!

It'll be interesting to review this one after a few months of wear. Here are some more pics. Excuse all the dust in the shots ...  

I spotted that particular watch too

It\'s all I can do to hold off buying one. But I must until I reduce the 100+ inventory I already have. Please let me know how you like it. Cazalea PS - I hadn\'t noticed the integrated bracelet (what no strap!?)

Congratulations!

This watch is designed to be used in extreme conditions. It surely will serve you well in everyday life. Wear it in good health.

Thanks Luis.

Definitely the North Flag is in the lineage of the Explorer, Explorer II, Ranger,and Ranger II for extreme alpine and polar conditions.

Perfect timing ! :)

Another Rolex/Tudor incoming! Congrats the Tudor North Flag has many first for Tudor. A great tool watch which is really robust and well built. Recently Tudor seems to be on a rampage! A brand to watch out for imho Cheers Robin

Agree ! I heard...

Tudor was the third brand Rolex had set up and it succeeded. It seems there were 2 Brands before that didn\'t make it Not sure how true is that though

The other watch line in the Rolex family is Cellini

They still need to work on that one, although they have started to come out with some interesting models the last few years.
