That Tudor video is terrible

It's definitely skewed towards the younger crowd (I'm 37 and hate it).

Tudor...nice watches, laughable marketing.

You’re definitely in the “old and grumpy” category now.

Tudor aren’t the overly mature and exclusive company like Rolex, so their advertising doesn’t need to be. Deal with it.

Haha, that might be the only time I've ever been called grumpy...a 1st for everything.

Yes the audio is miserable as far as I’m concerned. Love the watches though!

The copy is dreadful and the choice of narrator shows Tudor doesn’t care what 50 y/o Rolex enthusiasts think. Their target age is 29 now! Let’s watch it again...

WTF? Just bloody awful!

It’s like they hired Burger King’s advertising agency and gave them a fun weekend project. Hilarious!

I’m also 37 and also thought the voice over and style left a lot to be desired. Guess I’m grumpy too, haha.

I thought it was comical. I am just out of my 30’s and find myself in the grumpy club!

Right...and that's not necessarily the best marketing strategy for everything (e.g. luxury goods).

Robust. Precise. So Chic. Was looking for the vomit emoji, but that must be another forum.

it was a great video. Although the last second updates on the other lines felt rushed.

To be clear, this was not a comment on the watches - love the chronos, and I think the 18k Black Bay is lovely (if not a bit overdone by Tudor).

As many of us has already expected, I think Rolex is transitioning the Tudor brand into becoming what Rolex was in the 70's and 80's. So an 18K Black Bay really does make sense. I just wish they offered a bracelet option at least.
