I had a chance to buy one of these about 10 years ago but passed. Soon after an El Primero that I wanted came and I bought that. These Tudor dials have gone up in price but watch collecting is not about that.

It's a nice mouvement, what surprised me and this is probably because my personal preference, the mouvement hasn't got a hacking function. The dial is absolutely stunning and wow the hour hands, they are lovely. Hold on you are telling me Tudor/Rolex is using an outsourced of the shelf ETA mouvement? Oh yes the Black Bays used an ERA to didn't they and are in fact more expensive the the newer once with the in house movements.

When I called them the other day for a sponsorship for a Tombola I am planning this year for our Charity, they gave me the same email address and I requested a sponsorship from each of them separately but only got one response back so they are defenerey one and the same. I don't know but I wonder if Tudor is Rolexes Comunite Urban because Rolex is a charity and Tudor a business. Although both are owned by Wilsdorf

Great work! That Tudor is gorgeous! Any reason why at 14:22 where you cut to use the staking tool it's just frames of your pad and hammering in the background? Doesn't cut back until you are smoothing the hole.

@@FrenchWatchCollector I know you also wipe the brooch (I hope I'm spelling that correctly (broach?)) between strokes, and the white cloth would wipe off black, which had to come from the watch. At the very least, it keeps you from contaminating the next pivot hole.
