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
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
wth? a sunburst matt dial???
quite pretty..still 2 minds about it..will take more pics tomorrow
*daytime photos added
good looking piece
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
nice detail on the rubber strap back to keep it sliding about?
quick change date valve
side profile a bit boring (spoilt by the GSes)
the concentric rings on the subdials are killa

thought i'd change it up a bit - a bracelet guy i am indeed
