Perhaps the best Tudor/Rolex offering this year: Black Bay Steel 41mm

[harambeestar]

The added date is a huge win for the BB IMO. That was one of the big reasons I preferred the Pelagos to the BB, but now I'm torn!!

I really do like the date feature. I seem to use the date function all the time. I'm glad to see it

and THIS ...

This might just be my first gold colored watch when the reps arrive, it looks amazing

 

[elchino]

Does anyone have any news if factories are planning to rep any of these models?

 

[efthimis]

About the TT I have read that only the SEL will be solid gold, the other links would be gold wrapped but even if brushed more than once it will not be wiped off so steel will make its appearance... let's hope it is repped soon and hopefully done nicely

Am I the only one who can't stand steel bezels?
I'll admit this Tudor more or less pulls it off but generally speaking metal bezels just look "cheap" to me.

Daytona's seem to pull it off as well so does this chrono ... personal preference and sure your not the only one, maybe just one of the few

Angus posted a teaser pic .. ZF new Black Bay bracelet is coming ..maybe the rest with it

i cant stand the ceramic ones..and I know I'm not the only one

I just saw Angus's teaser pic yesterday and I hope they come soon!

I simply must have this watch!

Part of me sold my Bronze Bay because there was no date feature. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the dateless look but it's just for the added practicality (and I have a one watch policy).

But with this now...

I really dont get the date thing ... just dont. In today's day and age does any single person not have their smartphone with them and calendar, date,weather etc ... do you ever really need to know the date urgently?

And ultimately it ruins the aesthetic of the dial ... it always is just there .. out of balance , hanging there on its own .. alone

Why would anyone want a GMT? Can't they just do simple arithmetic?
Chronograph? It's called counting, learn to do it!
And Moonphase?? pssh just look up at the sky already...
I mean why even wear a watch at all? :harhar:




On a halfway serious note I agree. Date windows tend to mess with a watch's symmetry. But time and time again I keep avoiding watches because they "just" tell time! Someone help me...

Read some Zen books, do some yoga, meditate ..you want more when just time is more than enough

Anyone has pictures on how to size the rivet bracelet? I've read about it from a couple of places but I'm having a hard time picturing it and my sources have all just been assumptions.

Hey mate the pic not showing for some reason...
I wish they will come up with a nice wrapped TT [emoji869]

This 100%

You don't need to know the date unless you're signing something. Anything else you'll either be on your mobile or desktop device.

What dicks me off about a date window the most? Those beautiful re-issues TAG are digging up from the Heuer archives and then f*cking up with a date. The Autavia? F*cked with that date on the second dial - why, why, why?

'But our customers want a date complication' ... fml.

Not only that but regardless of the manufacturer, the date is usually in some random generic font which is not used anywhere else on the watch. Almost always looks like a mistake / afterthought imho.

C'mon factories..give us the most beautiful watch of SIHH2017 !!!

 

[Hinclimincli]

Love the new Tudors, but 41mm isn't my cup of tea, slightly on the big segment for me.

...the Black Bay 36, though. With that curved text. Plain old school pure tool watch. Omfg.

 

[exrazile]

I'm really digging this watch. Any idea when the gen is actually available? In other news, Tudor prices seem to be going up...
