Tudor Fastrider Black Shield

[Orchardab]

Evening All,

I would like to get a chronograph.
I have seen the Tudor Black Shield and like the look of it.
Does anyone on here have one?
What sort of price should I be looking to pay?

I had a look at one a while back and liked it in the flesh. The strap wasn't great, but that is easily changed.

I got to 20% off with my AD without much hassle but ended up not going through with it.

Black Shield is discontinued now so if any AD has stock, shoud be discounted from retail price.

I have had mine since release and love it.

That’s the one I like the look of.

The gold one was always the least popular. The red was by far the most popular and followed by the white.

I got mine on the beige alcantara strap but ordered the black rubber strap from them as well.

Being ceramic case, it's extremely tough. Have zero marks on mine except for a bit of wear on the black PVD coated clasp and crown where it meets the top of my hand.

I like the way you can wear something so premium yet flies way under the radar. Not something I can say with a Rolex nowadays.

I bought the Black n Red in December love it.
Had a few issues when it arrived with the PVD but all fixed by Mr Rolex

I can see some PVD wear on the crown. Mine is the same but the wear is on the underside where it touches the skin of the hand. It shouldn't wear out this quickly if its Brand New.

What were the PVD issues?
