Long time lurker in this section. New leather strap this morning for the skx009 as I found the original rubber strap too uncomfortable

What's the strap? I've currently got my 7002-7009 on a very homemade suede leather strap which looks pretty similar to yours, but it would be good to have something slightly less scruffy (but still with a bit of a distressed look to it).
Thanks,

Just picked up this lovely little Tudor Pelagos to use as an everyday watch smile

My first Tudor. Feels very nice, a good weight to it considering it is a Titanium case and strap. I've had Breitlings with Titanium straps before that always felt a bit 'cheap'.

Long time lurker. I received this from Lorne last week after deliberating for about 2 years!

I know it's a cliche but photos really don't do it justice.
(Particularly this one!)

Nice, After Inheriting my first proper watch, A Rolex and joining the Rolex forum, I have become a Tudor fan quickly.

Hopefully getting the Tudor Black Bay GMT (Pepsi) later in the year, tempted to get a normal Black Bay in the mean time for everyday use as the Rolex needs servicing.

I’ve been lurking around these too for about that length of time and am sorely tempted. I rather like the ethos of well designed and built tool watch that flies beneath the radar.

This page is on a roll for me today after the one just above!

This blancpain is a super watch. I was excited when they came out in this smaller size vs the rather large mainstream version. My wrists aren’t up to wearing the regular on but this looks much better imho.

Out of interest, where did you get it as there seem to be very few around? The only ones I’ve seen on the market have been on the second hand market overseas. If I could see one on the flesh in London, and it was actually for sale, I’d be sorely tempted.

Had to send this off to Rolex recently and just got it back yesterday. God I've missed wearing it!

When I bought mine I thought I was being clever avoiding the 'common' divers and other sports watches. hehe

Pelagos back on. The way the dial is VERY blue in sun light yet almost navy/royal blue in darker light is lovely.
