That orange & black one looks great, pretty unique too, not sure why they didn't lose the 9 & 3 having the dials cut into them looks off
I am leaning to the orange/black one, and yes it looks off with the 9/3 partly cut?
I got it in March 2019 so should be settled in I think.
Update for today, its now about 10 seconds behind, is that about right?

To me that’s a lot, too much, I would need to adjust it almost bi-weekly, it’ll be like 5mins off after a month.
It has become annoying, this is the first time I've measured it, but I have had to keep correcting it.
I will contact my AD, will they be able to sort it themselves or will they return it to Tudor?

you will wear out the gears if you keep adjusting it. I’d would get it checked out.

Does anyone else not bother setting the correct time or date when they actually put their watch on? When ever I bother to wear my day date it usually needs winding, so I'll wind it up to get it sweeping smoothly but never actually bother setting the right time, date or day lol

I don't do it on my Speedmaster as it's a frigging triple date. Takes me ages so never bother unless it's a special occasion lol no idea why I do for those occasions mind.
My ongoing deliberations on what to buy continue.
How do the Christopher Ward Tridents compare to something like the Tag Aquaracer?
Obviously there is a big price gap, but performance and quality wise?
Seems one use Sellita and the other Eta, although both are on par?
Head says get a Trident, heart says the Tag as it's been a brand I've wanted since I was a kid.
I like them both, but don't want to get to the 'I wish I bought' point.

Not an approach I'm familiar with; it's a watch. Maybe you'd be better off with a bracelet?
Why wear a watch if you're not using it for its function - status symbol?
I always set the time and date when I wear mine.
My new DS First Ceramic on a WatchGecko Cordura dive strap.
Bought for a good price from Hour Passion in Portsmouth. Really pleased with the quality of it, wanted to pick up a robust quartz for a daily driver and stumbled upon this.

I just like the way it looks and watching the smooth sweep. If I want to check the time I use my phone
Blasphemy
I would love not to be bothered by it but that's simply not possible lol
Just knowing that I'm wearing my watch and its time/date/moon phase is inaccurate drives me nuts, have to "fix it" asap!

I always set the time, otherwise I wouldn't wear it! 
Either of these
Is that a big crown or are you just happy to see me??
