For me the strap colour looks good with the blue but not the green numbers etc. Could also be because the strap looks vintage while the dial is modern/sporty - overall it's not a combination I'd wear (hopefully you were looking for opinions :lol:)

I certainly do want opinions, and I think you have voiced my concerns!

It does look better in the flesh than in the photo, but it is not singing to me. I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Haven't worn this in a while, should probably go on the block since I need to move a few.

Looks great. The new P's are starting to look really good to me. Especially the cream one. Shame they got rid of the rota click, removing the minute ring would have made a cleaner dial and kept the rotating bezel.
Cheers for that. The new "P"s are lovely with the sword hands, and they have also removed the nibbled numerals. I agree that they could have removed the minute track.

I must admit, I do love my original P. :lol:

How are you getting on with your Z?

When I grabbed todays P from the Bremont box, I saw my Z lying in there and thought... "God that looks good". I shall wear her tomorrow!

@smegwina. Loving my Z. Wear it at least half the week or more most weeks. Or when I wear another watch at work during the day. I get home and put the Z on. Love the velcro strap. After a dunk in some water it really suppled up. Saving up for the MBII white and praying it'll be my last watch for a long time.

Another gorgeous Tudor. It is fascinating to see how your collection has matured over the last few years!

They both look a bit galactically interstellar if I may say so :lol:

^^^^ Steve I would keep the one on the left, because unless I am mistaken, the one on the right doesn't actually work. The hands and date look stuck. :)

What others did you try on?
