Here's a real life picture:

Much worse. However, I like that they were totally consistent with yellow treatment. They should have done all the text in yellow as well.

On edit - it would also be much better if it was just

It's a real disappointment after the build up. I was kinda hoping Tudor might have a GMT on deck.

@T-ball - A date wheel that only shows red on Sunday? Think it through, I'll wait.....
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

They're saving that for the special "U2' edition to be launched at BaselWorld 2017. You heard it here first...

Awful, looks like super lumonova was defective and it yellowed in the sun.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

I have to admit, that pic looks pretty good. I'm not giving up my 2 liner for it, but it's not half bad.

They should have gone full-on dumb, with a PR in red and added the BB crown.

Anyone here know the dimensions? Especially the height? I assume it's the same case as the Gen II which I believe is thicker than Gen I.
only accurate watches are interesting

I think so. But one thing I like about Tudor divers is most the time their casebacks are very flat. Unlike Rolex.

Get it from the 19- and 20-year old chilluns, they dig me more when I use it.

Again with the new guy? :banghead:

I prefer the warmer Panerai fake vintage lume over the Tudor Golden Shower Pelagos. Your 372 and 422 look much nicer.

They're starting to show up on TRF. Some pictures look horrible. Other's look nice.
