Well in the list of racing certainties that was a nailed on reaction! :)

It ticked many of your “favourite” boxes:
Dive watch.Tudor. Snowflake hands. Bronze. :lol:
Apologies, Neil, my reaction was a bit blunt and your analysis excellent! :lol: (You missed out brown dials)

Wasn't too keen on that particular AT either!

Wouldn't bother me, Richard. I have one Speedmaster and that's enough for me. Same as one swimming watch, one rectangular Cartier, one single hander, one true GMT, and so on. As I've mentioned in a few threads recently, I'm trying to avoid replication.

Not a fan, as is, on the bracelet. Something of a brown lump to these eyes.
Stick it on a black strap - rubber, leather, textile, whatever, and we are getting somewhere.
Personally a black bezel insert to give it some crispness. Like a C60 Trident Bronze Ombre, I guess :) Love that but it's too big!

I really like it, I've asked Watches of Switzerland to call me when they have it in stock, so looking forward to that.
The clasp is a much needed improvement.

Yes, went there today, to register my interest in the No date Submariner.
Need to buy a readily available Rolex to get on that list though, so put in for the 41mm Oyster Perpetual and added the Tudor also.

Fingers crossed, I came across as a genuine buyer, and will get the call.

I didn't come across a specific Tudor dealer in there, im sure, there was one in the past.
Although I didn't find the Omega store on my first walk around. So I probably missed the Tudor store too.

^^^ Steve the boutique is at unit 1105 and is run by WOS. It is the only location in the UK where customers will be able to buy the watch, even though it is not an LE model.

I have often thought that an OP would be a decent call as a “one watch” candidate, particularly since the movement and bracelet were upgraded last year. :thumbup:

Hope you don’t have a long wait.

I scored one of these in Rome last week, actually. Love it. The clasp is indeed almost identical to my 114060 Sub. Was concerned it would be too much bronze on the wrist, but the smaller size makes it work. Fortunately, if one prefers a strap, a NATO is included with bronze furniture.

^^^^ Top notch purchase. :clap: :clap:

A query though. The colour of the Bronze looks to be different between the Case and Bracelet links.

Is it, or is it a trick of the light and/or finish?

It's a trick of the light--for now at least, they match.

Snowflake hands simply don't do it for me.. the hour hand is bulky and totally mismatched to the more elegant minute hand. Also bronze finish applied to watches always makes me think that they are stained and grubby.. No doubt this would.be outside my budget anyway but I think this one is for the hard core Tudor fans, more than for those looking for a cheaper Submariner alternative.

Before I grew to love the snowflake hour hand, I too hated it (or at least didn’t like it).

In not a lot of time, my views changed. Here’s what went through my mind:

It’s iconic - exuding the essence of Tudor.
It has bags of lume. You never forget it’s there.
The contrast between the snowflake and the sleek minute hand is obvious and I suspect deliberate - they each have different purposes, so why do they need to match.

I made such an about-turn that I ended up buying the GMT.

I love it, how are you finding the upgraded clasp ?

Now I've got old eyes, I found the hands are by far the most legible of any I've seen.
It will be interesting to see how the bronze changes over time.
I thought the added 3,6,9 numerals might put me off, but they look great, much better than the ones on the Omega 300, which are too near the center of the dial.
Nice pick up.
