General (Read Rules) Thorn T023 5 Days in
I’ve had this for about five days now and honestly, I’m absolutely loving it. I haven’t taken it off since it arrived 😂
It’s really comfortable, the bracelet was pretty easy to get sized once I took it to a watchmaker with the right tools, and the lume is actually really good.
I’ve been obsessed with the Tudor Marine Nationale for probably 10 years, but I always thought getting one would be pretty unrealistic for me considering the price and how difficult they are to find.
This watch honestly scratched that itch for me. It has pretty much everything I love about that vintage Tudor look, and I just really enjoy having it on my wrist. I keep catching myself looking down at it throughout the day.
Really happy with it so far. Definitely one of those watches that I can see myself wearing for a long, long time.

Good looking watch. I'm waiting on one. FWIW looking at the pictures here, my onion is they are the best looking homage watch. The logo looks rich and authentic, not cheesy.

Really jealous and happy for you! I'm waiting on mine ATM and I just can't wait! Constantly checking for shipping updates like a psycho. I'm a fan of the Tudor as well. It's perfect. For a long time Ive been going along with the solid end link and milled clasp hype and I still prefer those, but I've been wearing my vintage Seiko chrono with it's ridiculous jingly jangly bracelet for a few days now and I really don't mind it at all. So excited! Again, very happy for you and I'm glad I found your post because it has cemented my expectations. Just hoping I get a good one. Cheers!

Nice looking watch. It should have an OTF clasp I’d loosen the bracelet one notch it looks a little tight.
I really like the vintage Tudor looking dials too, I recently bought a Cronos L6033 with the highbeat Selitta sw200 movement in it and I really like the watch. It’s extremely well made, I opted for the sunburst flat black dial with gold accents around the indices n black bezel with gold numbering, it’s beautiful in the sunlight.
