Mike on a bike Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well guys just saw this at Basil and loving it. https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/new-1926/m91550-0002 Now a 39 W/ 100mm water proof and understated , my kinda watch . Now look at the price @ 1800 hundred not going to break the bank. case sizes 28,36,39 and 41 that covers most that want a conservative watch like this. https://gearpatrol.com/2018/03/23/tudor-1926-baselworld-2016/#2 Gotta love it. The 39 for me but you have options! By the way love this opener from worn and wound. March 26, 2018 Words By Allen Farmelo Share this story: We live in a time when rugged-looking tool watches regularly get paired with formal wear, but then again so do wrinkled work boots, gnarly beards, and worn denim—all of which were once blasphemy at the office or cocktail bar. The Tudor 1926 harkens back to that era when, even if you’d just swum the English Channel or scaled The Matterhorn, you shaved and tuxed up for the evening’s affairs. Meanwhile, your wristwatch—of which you owned just one—needed to withstand rugged adventure while looking downright debonair. I call such timepieces dressy tool watches, or DTWs. Although I have many watches like many always looking for the one as I come from humble origins you had "A" watch it told time that was it's purpose. I remember my dad he had a watch "Dad's watch" that was it wore it forever. Could this be it seems to check all the boxes, guess only one way to find out..........

508-Fanatic Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 It's a Tudor dress watch for the masses, I think it'll sell quite well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yes a little dressy but that depends on your choice of model, I think the plain black or white dial give it more flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 No offense. It's nice but... If I liked the looks, I would go for a Hamilton Jazzmaster. Why? Much less $$. Same type of watch. Same basic movement. No $$ going to the Piranhas at RWC. I look at the toot as a $500 watch (imho). I never was much of a toot fan because (to me) they have always had a rlx wannabe vibe. $465 Jazzmaster example: https://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-jazzmaster-mens-watch-h32515135.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Funny you mention Hamilton, I have looked at that one along w/ a few other in that line and almost pulled the trigger for years. Now keep in mind Rolex has been called the best $500 dive watch you can buy let's adjust it to $1000 or 2 these days but you get my drift. Granted toot is a poor mans Rolex per say but I just can not justify an Explorer price tag and the Ranger by toot same movement for a good amount more. So you get a bit more cache with toot rather than Hamilton and I'm sure if I give it 6 months to a year I'll get one on Joma even cheaper.

martijnp Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 It definitely looks good but it actually got a bit of a Hamilton look. For that money just get a Hamilton Jazzmaster for example and save over 1k usd.. I'm, personally, more interested in the new Tudor GMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
