How was the show?!? We were out of town, such bad timing! Ivan is such a nice guy!

It's such a special watch, and the color of the silver really sets off so well against the lovely taupe/grey - thanks for posting! TBH, I think a bracelet would detract from the case and color, and that a strap is a better compliment, no offense. I paired it with this grey suede strap from Veblenist (https://veblenist.com/products/space-grey-suede-watch-strap) , since the stock leather band is both too stiff and sorta odd, and that seems like such a better match, IMHO. Once could really go for a wild color/texture, like a burgundy or crocodile, or like a roughout fuzzy suede - so many options!

Some folks will hate that it tarnishes and gets an uneven patina, and/or that the silver is soft and isn't as durable as steel...but that's all part of the beautiful character of this piece. I love that Tudor made this oddball dress diver, even if/especially because it's impractical and less durable. :)

A sneaky snipe! I saw the same thing, too. Ha! Well, it looks nice, and we'll see in a few hours! :)

I love this grey, and it has a very subtle sparkle to the texture. It's cool and out of the ordinary, from a storied brand that you don't see often. I have one of their Marine watches in the same case, and can confirm it's really great, comfortable, and a good value. That onion crown is chef's kiss!

Nope, looks awesome! Loving that red for something a little off the beaten path!
