Just bought a Tudor 23010. I had written a brief review

*Pardon the photo qualities as I'm using my company's camera and is not familiar with the settings

Just bought a Tudor Classic series yesterday from Wisma Atria, All Watches. Always been interested in Tudor watches after I gotten my Monarch Chronograph 15900 locally. The quality & finishing does not lose out to its older brother, Rolex. Pricewise, much affordable and servicing is hassle free as it runs on mostly ETA2824 (21010) & ETA2834 (for 23010 Date.Day).

There are a few variants of this 23010 and I personally like this variant best, with the Mosa dial.

Size of watch is 39mm excl crown & 42 incl of crown.

21mm lugwidth and it tapers down to 17mm.

A simple case design with strong thick lugs hence making the watch 'look' bigger when worn on wrist. Fixed fluted bezel with polished & matte finishing. Mixed reviews on the wide fluted bezel design, some are ok with it, some finds it ugly. I guess this is a characteristic which differentiates Tudor from Rolex's fluted bezel.

Date.Day snaps perfectly upon 12:00, screwdown crown and it's a 100m rated watch.

Bracelet is a typical Tudor 5 links oyster style which comprises of both polish & brushed finishes. Brushed finishing on both ends & polished in the centre 3 links. I like how bracelet finishing, not too bling but when worn under the sun, the polished parts will reflect beautifully without looking too gaudy.

A standard Tudor shield signed flip-lock casp, SEL with solid links.

On with the pics

one never gets bored by the unique dial texture

the wide fluted bezel




signed Tudor Shield crown, on the case, there is an 'indent' design which makes it looks like the bezel can be rotated, I guess it's purely an aesthetic function else the side of the case will look too plain.

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and I strongly recommend a WIS to at least try a Tudor once, not just for their Black Bay or Pelagos range but their underrated Classic series. The Glamour series might not speak to everyone (including myself) but the Classic series is definitely a good alternative if you're looking for a nice dress watch but yet, not commonly found on any other people's wrist. I really hope most people will dismiss the 'comparison' between a Tudor & a Rolex

I see your silver Moza is making some waves here. I'll present my black dial DD soon to share. Tudor DD, fascinating piece.

There are plenty of generic ETA Movement watches, with day-date functions, that cost way less than the Tudor DD.

But if you want the words "day-date" on a dial officially, without paying 35k for a Rollie, the Tudor is as good as it gets.
