Absolutely! So many watches that stand out from Tudor. I was looking at the Pelagos 39 with some serious intent before the Monochrome landed. The Pelagos is a modern classic, and is still on the short list.

Pass on both I’m afraid. Love the idea of the YachtMaster, but 40mm is by far the better size. The GMT is simply dull.

Amazing watch!! Afraid I’ve not taken to Squale before seeing your watch, but both the design and the story are a marriage made in heaven. You really should share this with TGV, as he’d go bonkers for this piece.
