So I was asking about the 2894-2 on another forum and loving how balanced it looks...here's a new arrival with the 7753.
Shout out to Mark aka drster - he's an absolute legend.
Brand new piece. Been eyeing it since it came out coupla years ago...
so what is it...?

good presentation box: not too big...just the way I like it

why not the heritage chrono?
i think black is way cooler :)

the clasp and buckle system is very smooth

very comfortable rubber strap...smooth but not isofrane smooth..so it shapes nicely on the wrist
sexy beast: 150m WR, screw down crown

quite stealthy...not legible enough in certain lights..lume is sadly lacking
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150514_232911_resize_zpsvci3waty.jpg) (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/qrchandc26/media/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150514_232911_resize_zpsvci3waty.jpg.html)
The Fastrider Black Shield measures 42mm wide and its case is made from nearly scratch-proof injected ceramic.
The case is a monobloc, meaning it is made from a single piece and not a series of pieces mounted to a sub-frame, this allows forthe entire case structure to be fashioned in ceramic.
Tudor says this technical know-how is an extension of the knowledge they developed for the ceramic bezel used on their Pelagos diver.

that being said...very very well built piece...i have to say the j12 ceramic feels slicker though.
super well balanced dial

slightly annoying that the lugs are 24mm...good fun diamond detail at on the seconds timer hand
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150514_202908_resize_zpssob4kmu8.jpg)
wth? a sunburst matt dial???
quite pretty..still 2 minds about it..will take more pics tomorrow

*daytime photos added
good looking piece
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_090033_resize_zpshhwp2lcs.jpg) (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/qrchandc26/media/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_090033_resize_zpshhwp2lcs.jpg.html)
its a daytona-lite at a much lower price point?
bigger futuristic case, funky hands, killer dial design elements, deadly color combo
whats not to like (apart from the lume...)

the clasp uses the ball bearing system...its super smooth
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085856_resize_zpsql0brf5s.jpg) (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/qrchandc26/media/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085856_resize_zpsql0brf5s.jpg.html)
nice detail on the rubber strap back to keep it sliding about?
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085845_resize_zpssadx5aiw.jpg) (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/qrchandc26/media/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085845_resize_zpssadx5aiw.jpg.html)
quick change date valve

side profile a bit boring (spoilt by the GSes)
the concentric rings on the subdials are killa
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085819_resize_zpsymgt8xz0.jpg) (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/qrchandc26/media/Tudor%20Fastrider%20Blackshield/20150515_085819_resize_zpsymgt8xz0.jpg.html)

This is one of my favourite watch. But i love the black and bronze more. Do you find it easy to read in low light environment?

Yes and no..the lume is pretty useless although can still tell time in the dark..
In low light its the facet-ed hands thats relatively reflective.
Like a GS in low light conditions if u may.
