Tudor North Flag - new Tudor?

[Der Amf]

Ah - gotcha. Do you know what grade?

Lots of helpful info in the quote box that I went and googled for you

[edit: does this mean we're so used to ignoring the contents of quote boxes that contain posts we've already read that we never bother to check what's in them? If so, I'm going to stop using them...]

I've read they use Top grade, plus their own modifications.

Do you know what grade?

[Fantasio]

Ouch, I din't notice that either...

Have to say that I still don't really see the need for PRs, especially on a watch with a 70h reserve

I'm beginning to feel the opposite: I can't see the point of an auto that *doesn't* have a PR.

-Hi, I'm an auto and I'm running *smug expression*

-Great, for how much longer?

-Woudn't you like to know?! *even yet more smug expression*

But, like Geoff, not keen on them on the dial, and think they're better safely out of harm's way on the back

Power reserve indicator on the dial, sapphire case back, date and proprietary lugs (= no strap choices). It seems that Tudor had acess to my confidential "not want list".

I'm sure my wallet is safe.

The case and integrated bracelet look nice. It makes me think of a modernized OysterQuartz. The dial, while reminiscent of the Ranger II posted above looks more like a boutique watch dial with that power reserve. I just saw a photo of the Helson Gauge PR the other day and have the image of that PR stuck in my head.

[Perseus]

Is their really a market for a watch that looks like the Tudor Ranger but costs nearly twice as much?

I don't like the lugs, power reserve or paying around twice as much for an in-house movement.

[Der Amf]

Let's just hope it actually IS a new in house movement and not just a 8215 with an extra blah blah blah

[Nokie]

Ok, but nothing too special to me.

Saw the leaked ad Elsewhere. Case is 40mm
