My First TUDOR Revealed! Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale (Review)

- An Unveiling, Discussion and Review of my coveted Tudor Pelagos FXD. A watch that I have always wanted but never thought possible we'd see released. A partnership that is incredibly significant between Tudor and the Marine Nationale (without which the "Snowflake" wouldn't exist) the FXD has changed me as collector. It has been a watch I've obsessed about before, during and after the release and has managed to address everything I have ever wanted from a modern professional dive watch. Just goes to show that there is a watch out there for everyone.

There are times when it feels like a watch was made for you. The FXD definitely stirs up debates so by all means criticise away! My Crit: I would've taken "Pelagos" off the dial. This watch is bespoke enough to be a different property from the family. I'd be very keen to know your thoughts about how they approached the model and the improvements you'd want. Something tells me this is going to be a template for the next generation of Pelagos models we'll be seeing soon (with bracelets, He Valves etc.) ⚓
You are really making me consider this piece. I loved it on the release and I have considered the BB58 Blue so many times. I just have to come to terms with the fixed lugs… which you made a very compelling case for. Great commentary as always!
I have a LHD, and now I think you have sold me on the FXD. I was considering a Blue P, but the Blue on that one was slightly brighter. As you mentioned unique, and far from the flexing hyped watches that us true collectors can actually dream and get within a reasonable budget.
I don't mind that it is a Pelagos, but "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" is really unnecessary knowing that above it, it says CHRONOMETER which says the same in one line😅
This is my expectation as well. That this will be the blueprint for the next gen Pelagos and that’s why I didn’t buy it. Id rather buy it, when it comes out as the new normal pelagos with a bracelet and put it on a strap when i want to. This is like a convertible with no closing roof. It is too limiting.
I bought a BB 58, then this came out. Purpose built and fantastic..tudor is simply the best value out there imho..of course you love it..
Congratulations! I'm proud of you and love your choice of the FXD. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, having spent 21 years sailing around the world on aircraft carriers, battleships and destroyers. Early in my career I was an administrative clerk (yeoman) for a SEAL unit. I remember very clearly Tudor subs being given out as standard issue. I should of snagged one back then, not being able to afford one now - but the name Tudor as stuck in my mind as a quality watch. Military folk just want something to work with little fuss. It's nice to know that Tudor hasn't forgotten that. Enjoy that watch, brother!
If the Commando Hubert uses it, it's by far the best watch.
I was a shallow water sailor (USCG) in the late 70s-early 80s. I remember the first thing I bought when I got on my duty station was a nice watch, a Bulova Accutron. It got lost over the years, though and I should have bought something a little more durable.
Shoes don't get issued Tudor dive watches. What Team were you at?

Congratulations on the Tudor. I think you made a fantastic choice. And thanks for waiting for 5 months to publish this, so we get a true review.
I really wanted to hold back on the review (and unveiling) to let things mull over. And thank you Richard. Gotta say, 5 months on and every day still feels like a pleasure. It's hard to describe but "Cathartic" still feels like the best word ;)
One year on the waitlist in Portland,OR and I just picked up my new FXD. Definitely worth the wait and it looks and feels great on the wrist. The matte blue bezel and titanium are so understated. Completely chill time piece that checks all the boxes and will stand the test of time.

I have liked almost everything about this watch since it’s release. Glad to see you go through it and share your enjoyment of it.
Absolutely brilliant video. I was fortunate to get an MN 21 model and I have loved owning it ever since. The FXD is a special piece and it is brilliant to see someone else enjoying it with such enthusiasm
A wonderful story told with sincerity and care. Thanks!
Spectacular video - accurately sums up my feelings for this watch, and how it fits into my collection. It’s inspired me to downsize and consolidate my collection, and has helped make watch-wearing more meaningful. I’ve had several of the same sentiments you expressed. Well done.
Ah, means a lot Ryan and thank you! It's great to know that I'm the only one who went crazy with this machine 😉 Have a great weekend brother!
For me it about getting a watch I like and will probably be my 1 watch and it's the tudor black bay 58.
Congrats on your FXD - it is a cracking good watch! I tried it on two months ago at my AD when I picked up my 126610LV. Loved the way it fit my 6.75" wrist. Wear it in good health!
Aaaahhh, you may have found the one watch that could be your ONLY watch! Amazing video, review, and message you have sent to the watch community. CONGRATULATIONS on obtaining such an outstanding piece. Every time you release a video like this my head swivels from my target like a dog seeing a squirrel. The FXD might, just might, take me off target. I also respect the tee shirt you sported in the video. Very appropriate. Semper Fidelis!
Thank you as always Reed! This message really made me smile 😉
Duuuuude!!!! Been waiting for this forever! Thanks so much 🍻🍻🍻
Fantastic review! I always love your style of reviewing watches - a perfect mixture of history & critique.
Awesome. The passion was evident. Thanks for the detailed thought process and initial impressions. Hope it last forever and goes with you on many adventures.
Amazing review and lovely to hear how passionate you are about it. Enjoy!
This is an awesome watch, greatly summarized by your vid. Well done!
Congratulations! Glad you are enjoying the piece!
Congratulations. Stunning purchase. Brilliant addition.
Your commentary is pure poetry. Second to none, amongst your YT colleagues. Thank You.
Rock on! Glad this piece has brought you so much joy.
Awesome video and watch 💙 I have got goosebumps when you did the bezel action 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks a million! Ah, it's hard to catch the bezel action properly but it has this buttery-ness to it too... Gotta love our Tudors 😉
A brilliant review of a fantastic watch. Nice keeper tip too. Thanks ID !
And I hope you're getting so much enjoyment out of yours too brother. Thank you as always!! 🥃
This personal take is just so great and makes this even more exciting!
It's no biased in the slightest 😆 Thank you Bongo!
Congrats - lovely watch and it’s always so good to hear about a watch enthusiast connecting with a watch so much, they don’t really look at others. A testament to your connection - wear it in good health!
Appreciate it as always Jizzy and thank you! I try my utmost not to watch other watch related channels just to bring across that approach (trying not to be a reviewer) 😉 Thank you brother!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on the FXD. I have been looking for one since day one and like you I’ve had my name down with 3 ADs in the UK and not even had a sniff. This week I was away on holiday and went to look in a jewellers window while my wife was in another shop and noticed one in their window. Well, that watch is now mine and I can’t be happier. I also have a blue Pelagos and happy with that but this one is incredible. I can’t argue with anything you’ve said. You have a new sub 👍
Great video. Really enjoyed your journey. I'm also obsessed with the FXD.
What a fantastic video! Great stuff 👏🏽
Why there aren't 1m subscribers to this channel is beyond me. I'm an Architect/Designer (and a watch enthusiast). Everything you perceive is spot on. We look at things around us with the same lens. Well done and thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing. Everyone will catch on eventually catch up.
I'm happy every time I see a post of any sort that someone finds an FXD. I've wanted one so bad! Enjoy it in good health.
Congratulations for this review. I agree 100% with all your comments. The FXD is definitely made for me as well. It is my fourth pelagos and also my favorite !
Gah! It’s such an amazing watch!!! I know my husband really wants one of these. They just wear so well on the wrist. Very cool watch and big congrats on the Tudor purchase! 💙✨✨✨💙
This the best vid on the FXD. Thank you for making it .
I have one of these on order from my local A.D and I can't wait to collect it. Keep up with the awesome videos, you do an excellent job analyzing these watches and their designs.
That was an EPIC review. Just class
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with this beautiful timepiece. I am picking up my FDX this afternoon, and your video has greatly validated my choice to join you and the many other fortunate enthusiasts who sport a Pelagos FDX.
Absolutely love your passion for this watch. It shines through!
Ah, the passion is infectious and the hobby has to be enjoyed. I think it's because this piece really does feel like a big milestone, y'know? Hard to describe... my brain is still trying to work it out 😆 Thank you brother!
Great video for a awesome watch (still #1 on my first luxury tool watch list
). Stunning work and thanks for sharing 👏🏻🤘🏻
Congrats IDGuy! I can't say I'm surprised you picked this one. Its a great watch and I'm sure it will serve you well!
Your FXD is like my Damasko DS-30, its just always up to be worn and crushes it every time.
It was an obvious choice going with the FXD, right? 😆 (I'm too predictable) But thanks a million Nef!! Have a great start to your weekend!
Great video. One of the best reviews I have come across for the FXD.
Great video! I feel the same way about my FXD. I’m insane and track how much I wear my watches. Since I got it I’ve worn it more than double the next most worn watch. As you said, it always wants to be worn and is never a wrong choice.
Such a heartwarming review as I share the same passion for The FXD , it's a phenomenal timepiece, its the final Tudor watch I'm after for the collection. I can truly understand how one can bond to this watch as I did the second I tried on the exhibition piece at my AD , the piece stirred me on an emotional level as well. It's a keeper! Where it in good health IDGuy !
Ah Reuven, I'll be holding thumbs that you receive the call soon. It's truly a gem... never asking for attention, just built for a purpose (and manages to be great in the interim) 😉 Thank you brother 🥃
@@ID-Guy I still never got the call from my AD too but finally found an FXD locally this week , boy am I so pleased I jumped on it. Its beyond a dream wearing it now as I type this comment, A grail Tudor piece that will never leave my collection!
Happy for you !! Want one !!
I walked into my AD about a month back and the FXD was sitting in the case! Yep just sitting there! I put it on my wrist and walked around my AD for about 2 hours deciding whether I wanted to buy it or not, crazy I know! I fell in love with the entire watch and decided it had to come home with me, and I have no regrets since this watch is a great dive watch and I love the light weight. I love it so much that I keep buying different straps for it lol. Thank you for a great video!
Absolutely love this watch. Just received my Pelagos FXD and what a watch. Lightwieght, highly legible and an absolute stunning piece. Agree with all your comments. This is one of the most refined tool watches ever made. You have to look at it in the flesh to truly appreciate the FXD.
Bravo Boet! The FXD is an absolute beauty of a Watch. I tried one on before opting to buy my P01 instead. I knew that I had my heart set on the P01 since it’s release and was caught in a conundrum when I saw the FXD. I didn’t want to get involved in another’collectable’ Watch after Tudor had put the date on the caseback.
It really is a stunning piece though. I wasn’t that impressed with the Velcro strap that it came with as it felt a bit wobbly on the wrist. I didn’t really think about using different straps but, you’re correct, the FXD is a true strap monster and I think is probably better on other NATO straps like you are using.
The Pelagos line is a great range of watches. One of the real tool Watches produced by Tudor who I believe are the ‘Tool Watch’ arm of Rolex as opposed to being jewellery like Rolex has now become. I don’t think that the association with the Marine Nationale should make the FXD a range in itself. It obviously came from the Pelagos family (the French Navy probably used those too) so, I believe that ‘Pelagos’ belongs on the dial. It’s a bit like saying that a Mil Sub shouldn’t have ‘Submariner’ on the dial I feel.
I knew that you wanted a ‘22’ model for some reason and now I know why, your birthdate. What a special touch to bond with the Watch even more. Congratulations on the acquisition my friend and you did the right thing in leaving it for a few months before doing your review. That makes it a true review from experience. You’ve got the FXD on my mind again now (lol). I may have to see if I can try on another.
Great video as always my friend. ✊

@@juniorjohnson5961 👊
Thanks a million for the message Thomas! Ah, it's one of those occasions that I'm so glad to have been able to share on the channel. Like you and your P01, it just goes to show that there is a model out there for all of us (and Tudors underrated gems are something else) Have a great weekend brother! 🥃
It's almost entirely because I happened to stumble upon your predictions and renderings video a week before it was released that I was lucky enough to get an M.N. 21, and some luck that my AD contact remembered me texting her before it was officially out "if this is real, I need it".
I won't deny that the flip value tempted me at one point, but I cannot express how glad I am that I kept it. It's nearly perfect as an everyday wear, but still works as that "special" piece, or travel watch because it can fly so far under the radar, while still giving me that flex factor that may or may not be compensating for something.
So, thanks to you, and your videos, coming to me at the right time for having landed me a 21, and glad you got one.
Awesome ! Besides such a comprehensive review it is so cool to see you or anyone for that matter find the time piece that they can bond with both in form and function but at such a visceral level. How often is a loved time piece still watch a balance sheet ?
Always some trade off or acceptance of some detail or function. You have found with this Tudor an actual extension of yourself , needs, image , performance
contentment...no need to hunt anymore.
Bravo! Wear it always in good health. Don't ever part with it. As it ages and gains the scars of use, they are yours alone to share with it.
Thanks! Nice review! Glad you enjoy the bond created with your Pelagos. I have and LHD, which in a way, it's also an special and different Pelagos and I do love every bit of it. It may be the piece I use mor often (also given I use it right hand whilst using another one in my left wrist). Definately considering getting one FXD.
I’m so happy for you. The watch is fortunate to be worn by someone like you. Excellent video.👍
Damn, this one's deep Eddy. Thank you sir, sincerely 🥃
I can fully relate… my first luxury watch was an omega seamaster that I bought specifically for scuba diving a long time ago. I never had a thing for Tudor, the FXD originally passed me by during its release, it wasn’t until a few months ago I even realised it existed and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since… I got to try one on and immediately fel in love with it. I’m still waiting for the call from my AD but for me it’s worth the wait
I have a black Pelagos, now I need the FXD. Brilliant Video !
Glad you love it! My pelagos (non FXD) is easily my favourite diver and potentially favourite watch right now
Congrats again brother! So happy for you 🙌🏻 great vid as always.
You're a Legend T and thank you! It's amazing how a watch can just change your entire perspective on things... 5 months in and it's still a honeymoon 🥃
@@ID-Guy I am so glad to hear that. Genuinely thrilled for you! I'm personally in a bad place with watches right now. Very frustrated with the dealers, hobby and community overall. Maybe that new Mark XX will snap me out of my funk!
cheers bud and congrats! wear in good health and Godspeed!
What a class video. Great work mate. Love it
Great vid and discussion - cheers !
Great video love your comments at the end the whole video is fantastic great watch great channel
What a great, no-nonsense review! I had my eye on the BB Pro. I believe I'm going to try and find a FXD. I love the fixed lugs, too! Thank you!
A great review that is like a confessional at the church of horology. Love the points about design and full circle history with the Marine Nationale. One can image the stories and history these timepieces will make.
Nicely done. I could tell when you did your predictions video, that this would be something that you would scourer the earth for. Congratulations that you finally have it in hand, rather on the wrist. This was something I experienced when I saw your Sinn U50 & Sinn design videos. I hardly take mine off now, expect to rotate my collection every now & then. Wear in good health! 👍
Excellent as always.
I feel exactly the same about this watch, put my name down last December, eventually picked it up in June. Love the way it sits on the wrist and the Lume is insane 👍
It's amazing how a watch like this can have such an impact! Ah, we're a part of the secret club Anthony 😉
What a treat, your channel is really outstanding. I hadn’t consider this watch until now. The proportions seemed chunky for 17cm wrist, but you make compelling arguments.
No sir, it was an honor being taught by you. These videos are almost a form of couples therapy with the hobby, that teaches me to just calm down and enjoy, although sometimes it just wants me to have a ludicrous amount of money to experiment all of those pieces jajaja. But jokes aside thank you, by the middle of the video I had to reach out and grab my DSPH200M and look at it, because when you talked about your FXD, it just reminded me of it on a sentimental level. Again thank you for this amazing channel, and for teaching us about watches in an amazing way. Hope the lives will come back soon. Cheers
This watch really speaks to me too. I'm not really into Tudor or Pelagos..... but this watch, the dial, the color, the pure, simple functionality of it all. It will be a splinter in my mind until the day I buy it.
Nice one! So glad you've found a watch that meets your needs. A practical, no fuss addition to the collection. And that Seamaster 300 Trilogy looks amazing on the NATO!
I waited for this watch's release with great anticipation, even had my name down with an AD beforehand. When it arrived I couldn't put it above the "Lefty" Pelagos which I also had my eye on so I got that. All the Pelagos models are underrated. The BB58 in all its iterations is a great watch but the "size" thing after the chunky Black Bay (still a great watch for me) hyped it up enormously. We're all different. I'm sure you picked the right one for you.
The Pelagos has always been that "yeah, this is the one watch that sums up the modern brand perfectly" to me. Seeing this collab and all the care that was put into it... just nailed it. And I feel the same about the BB's. They're great talking points, well sized and extremely popular, but the Pelagos family is Sub-Zero. Hope you're loving your LHD (It's a cracker!) 🥃
Congratulations @IDGuy. Your FXD is my Planet Ocean 2500. Glad to hear that you might downsize the collection...less is more is the way to go. Cheers from the Mountain West in Montana. 👍⌚🌲⛰️🥃🍷🦌🦬🐻
Wow, I really appreciate your thoroughness and honesty for acquiring this piece (major congrats, by the way 👍). Just as yourself, there's something about mil-spec watches that gets me buzzin' with excitement; form, function, purpose...I like tools that do what they're designed to do.
James Bond would be proud 😉. Cheers 🍺
Ah, it's so good Fresh and thank you! Sometimes there's a watch out there that manages to do the trick 😉 Really hope you're keeping well brother and have a phenomenal weekend!
What a review, I believe you may have just pushed me over the line to try and secure an FXD as I’ve been on the fence for a while, comparing to the traditional Pelagos and most recently to the 39. Many thanks, brilliant review on the details that matter.
As a fan of tudor, but not an owner yet, I've been thinking which model would be the best for me for years. And now, I think I finally got the answer today. The FXD is indeed a modern interpretation of Tudor's watch making based on MN partnership. Born to be tactical, functional, and robust. I couldn't but fall in love with the mariage between function and design. Thank you for the great review and finding the values of FXD.
The Commando Hubert's divers are the best of the Marine Nationale.
Believe me they are very strong and this Pelagos FXD is an incredible tool watch !
They are another level. No names, no faces, just dedicated professionals 😉⚓
Heartfelt epic review.
Well, looks like we really are watch brothers. I’ve owned this watch for months and it is my favorite watch. It is the best functional diver I have ever owned.
This is the watch I’ve been waiting for for so long.
Rich!! Ah, this is fantastic! Just goes to show that Tudor can bring out a belter if they want to 😉 I hope your Sea-Dweller still gets some love from time to time BUT this machine has that "can do" attitude every time it's on. Hope you're well, y'legend 🥃
This is by far my favourite tudor!! congrats bro, I love what youve done with the nato with a clasp. Ive never seen that before.
Excellent review - passionate yet objective.
I deliberately left this to view when I had the time as I always appreciate the content. I just love the enthusiasm you have for this watch and while it’s not one I would have considered buying, this video has changed that! All the aspects you pointed out make me look at this watch differently. The journey you have been on is brilliant and it’s been great to follow so I look forward to the next chapters!
Ps, the ‘57 is still the daddy! 😉👍
Congrats. I once owned the Pelagos LHD. It was the watch I could buy at retail & bought it on a whim. After owning & wearing it for a while I realised how well designed & functional it was. The perfect diver. A genuine tool watch. Loved the bracelet, the luminous bezel, snowflake hands with square markers & the titanium construction. Everything better than the Submariner. But then I always wanted a 40mm pre-ceramic Sea-Dweller, and so I sold it to buy the Rolex. Now after watching your video I want to get back into Tudor. The LHD had a unique number on the caseback. I miss my Pelagos. It had an early issue number in the 1000's. At least the warranty card has my name on it. Hopefully I'll find that watch in future. I'll buy it back.
Your self-discipline in waiting 5 months to show off this beauty is pretty damn impressive, but all the better for us, so we get not only the full story of how you got it, but how you really feel about it after a significant period of ownership. Glad you decided to just go ahead and buy one after being constantly disappointed with the usual AD nonsense. I had to chuckle when you said this might disappoint some of us who might have guessed you got a different model...i think they maybe they forget that this is for YOU and not for anyone else. Given the way you presented it today I think anyone, even someone new to the channel can see why "it's the watch for you" Congrats on this handsome watch and wear it in good health ...I'm really happy to know that the Seamaster still holds a special place for you. Fantastic episode !
I had an email sent to me about 8 months after I showed interest. It was even in an AD from a different country - I am thinking about getting it. My thrill has reduced over that period and other pieces came to my mind but now watching your video and enthusiasm about that watch I think that my initial feeling was worth it and I shall consider it again! Thank you, great video!
As someone who can drool over a CWC or Vietnam era Hamilton while ignoring a Daytona, this video sums up my thoughts on the FXD very nicely. It’s just disappointing they’re being released in such short supply, but I guess that’s the way the watch industry works at the mo.
You and me both Timothy. We're much more driven to appreciate the watches that were actual tools with hundreds of testimonials instead of what is essentially a fashion watch in comparison 😆It is sad that these have been brought out in smaller batches. BUT something that came to mind is that it allows them to keep the QC top notch too. No movement stoppages / crown issues and all the other things that plague a lot of BB's (which is a plus) ;)
Always look forward to your videos.
Means a lot Chris. Sometimes it feels like you're talking into a void but man, these comments have weight. Thank you brother 🥃
@@ID-Guy I tried making videos on here, but never really felt like I got it right. The videos you make look, and feel like you put a lot of pride into your channel. If you ever find yourself in Denver Colorado, the first rounds on me!
Wow! That is an excellent choice! Bravo!
Thank you Alvin, you legend 🥃
Very nice video, i have the black pelagos with the in house movement and it get's by far the most wristtime. It's really something special!
Congratulations on your first Tudor, ID! Having also just bought my first Tudor, I can understand your pleasure in the accuracy, value, fit and finish that this company offers. However, have to agree with Allen Farmelo of Hodinkee (excellent hands-on article, BTW) that the functionality of the bezel would be improved by marking all of the “fives”. KR, Si.
Awesome Review. Stunning time piece. Never get rid of this one. Wear it in good health. Cheers from The Netherlands!
Thanks a million Albert! And roger that! This piece ain't going anywhere 😉
Just got it. Incredible watch.
I missed out on a Pelagos which was om display in Watches of Switzerland in Heathrow T3. That was a few years ago when Duty Free was still available. Good video. Thanks for upload.
Congratulations,, that is truly a great watch,, thank you so much for showing us this one,
A "grail" doesn't have to be vastly expensive, it just has to tick all the boxes,,, ✅👍
I just got an FXD (black) yesterday. It’s so good! Thanks for making me pay attention to this watch.
Congratulations on this beauty
Enjoy, as I know you are and will. A wonderful piece. On my shortlist. I can see why you love it so much.
It's been an obsession since day one Graham. Hard to put into words... but wow... there are pieces out there that are made for us. And thank you! It's a watch I'd highly recommend (as you can probably tell) 😆
Welcome to the Tudor club! I’m wearing my BB GMT with jubilee bracelet 👍🏻
Great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience! I’m so happy you enjoy the watch!
Wanted to confirm your theory. Bought the black pelagos 6 years ago to commemorate a work promotion. It was my first “proper” watch. Added a speedmaster, tudor gmt and a skydweller as well as few beater watches since… the Pelagos still gets 95% wrist time. I want to wear the others, but i just naturally gravitate towards the Pele. It traveled with me all over the world and never once failed me technically, practicaly, visually nor in any other way.
Love the Pelagos testimonial Matty 😉 Ah, it's so good knowing that there are watches like these that just keep trucking on (with very little fanfare relatively speaking) Thank you so much for the comment and for taking the time to watch the clip! 🥃
Great purchase ID, this piece has your name all over it!
Me too.
However, I’ve been on 4 waiting lists since December ‘21 after being guaranteed I’d wait no long than 4-5 months.
Seriously considering the grey market.
Enjoy !!!
congratulations, it's a stunning watch. It will become a life long friend that will never let you down.
Thank you Rich. Really is amazing how a watch can manage to make such an impact (when it feels right) 😉
Great video! I am fortunate enough to own the MN21 version which was the only one my AD received last year. It’s been on the wrist a lot (found myself wearing it more than my 126710BLRO which I didn’t expect) and I am just looking at the watch all the time. Been living on the rubber strap this summer. Just a home run of a watch from Tudor. I plan on giving it to my son (born 2021) when he is old enough to appreciate watches.
Great review, reminded me why I want this watch too. I feel your pain about availability, I'm also on a waiting list. Seems they are difficult to get all over the world, certainly here in Australia, but I have every faith in my AD that I'll get one this year. Cheers.
Spot on with all the details and opinions , in the future Tudor will get it's true praise for these watches .
Thank you Lewis. I reckon these are still very underrated today (with the Black Bay mania going on) but man, the Pelagos always has been their under-the-radar series... this new model definitely doesn't disappoint 😉
Love the watch, love your passion for it. Wear it in good health, young man.
What a great video. Thanks for sharing your story. I want to see and try this Pelagos FXD very badly but I don't think that my AD even got one. Anyway congrats on finding your watch :)
