It would, but given the prices of the in-house watches are gradually creeping up towards whatever point it is that Tudor aspires to sell them at, the 2824 models are a relative bargain, while they still exist. (I say relative, I know they are on the steep side for watches with 2824 movements).
Yup. Better water resistance, too... Would be nice if it used their in-house movement rather than a 2824 tho.
