So I went to Tudor's official website to compare pictures with various TD's for a potential purchase of a Black Bay 'Black' when I noticed that they change the logo on the dial from the 'Rose' to the 'Shield' to match the 2 new colours. I personally think the 'Rose' fit the whole heritage theme of the Black Bay line. What do you guys think of this change? EDIT: I also find it weird that they kept the 'Rose' on the crown. Would've been more acceptable if they changed it to the 'Shield' too.

it is ok. I prefer the rose and the curve text but the bigger issue is the rivet bracelet.

The rose is more romantic, but It's a stunner either way.

The new text/logo detracts from the vintage feel IMO

I like the new logo, as I prefer symmetry.

I wonder is a v5 is in planning...

The rivets aren't real rivets like those u would see on vintage pieces. They are just holders on the top of each links and at the links where it's removable it'll be screws. The original rivet bracelets were prolly a pain in the ass to remove..

I prefer the rose to the shield on the BB as it's a heritage piece after all.

PITA does not cover the start of it. A special tool is required to remove a link by unbending the center of the link that wraps around the one next to it. Not an easy process and one that takes time and skill to do neatly.

Not feeling the rivet or the shield look at all. The "Dark" version also seems to have a PVD coated Ranger Bracelet as it has no SEL.

Not a fan of the switch to the shield. The rose is the symbol of the Tudor family which is who Tudor was named after.
