Icon19 INCOMING ... Tudor FXD MN23

-



---

I managed to get the original Tudor FXD
a couple of weeks back while in Malaysia.
Had to try a couple of stores and the got
it at the local Tudor list price, which was
roughly 10% below the US list price ...
possibly because of the dollar strength.

My thoughts about it are all good, but also
pretty contradictory. Modern. Old-Style.
Different. Traditional. Busy Bezel. Simple
Design.

Its immediately one of the top faves in my
collection. Love the look. Love the blue.
It feels great on the wrist. Plus No Date
is a plus for me. Its very readable.

To me there is a 'tool-iness + beautiful
+ still modern' feel to the FXD ... like an
old style Rolex / Tudor Sub ...... am
thinking 14060/114060.

Can you tell I really really like it ?

The blue is my fav, and I wish they would have let the mission bezel on the black, but both are beautiful. Congrats.

Beautiful pair.

I think I bought my blue the same day, September 15th, the black was launched.

It might be more available outside of the US ...

I got mine while in Malaysia, and I see from another current Incoming original blue FXD that he got his in Thailand. thread. When I tried at a couple of ADs in LA they had none and seemed rather uninterested in helping me get one.

Not sure if anyone here on the forum has bought in US recently.

Fantastic picture! Difficult to choose between the blue and black dial versions although I think maybe the black.
