Love how you think it's 100% traditional looking at first, but then there

Looks essentially the same as about 4 bazillion micros out there. Pretty uninspired, I must say.

Not bad at all but at $6500=7500 USD too pricey for that SW300...

Nice looking watch. Obscene, bordering on criminal price though. :snooty:

On the other hand, while I get calling the LE "Blue Shark" because it's blue and everyone likes sharks, did they have to print that immediately above a silhouette of an ORANGE shark?
The buyers of this watch isn't that "aware' Henry :mrgreen:

The more I look at it the more it reminds me of an $8-$1000 micro, not a $7500 luxury brand.
Is that a $30 mesh bracelet I see as well? That’s what micros do when they don’t want to pay for tooling for a bracelet.

Finishing, chamfers and casework certainly seems well above $1k micro’s but I would definitely prefer an Aquatimer at less $$. I hate the plates they are screwing to some of these LE’s.

The value Tudor gives with its it’s in house movements (Silicon balance spring, 70 hr PR, etc...) I. Sub $4k watches makes models with mildly worked over ETA’s at double the cost hard to swallow.
==============
Exactly, 5K for an Omega diver, even 7500 for a Rolex no date sub c- that said, if you are going to buy it (better get a discount) and keep then fine, but be prepared to lose your shirt on re-sell.

WTF did I stumble upon?...

I do dig the black gilt dial though.
