Looks good to me.

Sublovin 16 November 2017 10:46 AM

Like it. They did a similar thing with Panerai and I liked that as well

Lol-x 16 November 2017 10:58 AM

I don't care what it costs, I'm buying this watch!!!
It will be a big seller, I'm confident of that.
The yellow gold hands and accents with the stainless steel case and rivet style bracelet is really nice.

Just seen this on insta too.

I’m in London early December.

If it really is Harrod's green then that would be quite something.

Canook 16 November 2017 11:58 AM

im going to be the odd one out here and say no..... sorry doesnt do anything for me. I had a BBR and it was a nice watch (i also have a Hulk and a Kermit) but nothing to scream about. The green on this is not catching me as my hulk and kermit does..... i personally think it will blow over and wont be a stand out after a while.

The way Tudor are marketing themselves now id say this will be the sign of things to come with unique editions from them to stay fresh and in your face


OK ill go put my flame suit on and brace myself....go! lol!

GolfJunkie 16 November 2017 12:37 PM

Really like the green text and the green tip on the second hand

Certainly not the response expected from a guy with a Hulk avatar and two green watches, but hey...I imagine you have had your fill at this point :rofl:

jw0n 16 November 2017 01:33 PM

I like it, but hate the idea of so many BB variants. Too many, too soon and risk going down the path of Omega and Panerai with several LEs every year.

douglasf13 16 November 2017 01:38 PM

Green usually isn’t my thing in a watch, but I think it’s done quite a bit better here than in the two green Rolex Subs.

Same here. I felt nothing for the hulk submariner but this green black bay I really like.

yeah the green on the BBG just doesnt float my boat.... and thats a good thing for all you guys wanting one.... im 1 less person you have to compete with to get one hahahahaha!

MATCH1969 16 November 2017 04:41 PM

Really nice :thumbsup:

Stevec14 16 November 2017 05:08 PM

I think it looks good. Hopefully they will limit the numbers. I might give them a call and see what the scoop is. Either way, wont replace my Kermit though.....:thumbsup:

BreezyMan 16 November 2017 05:25 PM

Wow tudor brings the heat again this is like a modern tudor Kermit!
Did anyone else notice it’s ft first on the dial kinda strange don’t they use the metric system across the pond? They really would do well with this as a standard production. Take my money now please

osamu 16 November 2017 06:37 PM

This is pretty nice. If I were in a place to buy a BB and if this were readily available, would make a tough choice between all the variants.

HK Islandboy 16 November 2017 07:50 PM

I like the green a lot. I’m not so fussy about the colours on the dial though

emersm 16 November 2017 07:54 PM

If it only had a date. :thumbsup:

swatty 16 November 2017 07:57 PM

interesting

Yes Sir, 1 a piece for each of us :twit: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I wish....those grey market money grabbers will be grabbing cash hand over fist when these babies come on the market. :crying: I'm only joking, there is nothing wrong with that, but maybe this model will be very unpopular and they will be almost paying customers to take them off their hands. :twit:
Its always a demand and supply equation that dictates pricing.

The green submariner will still nevertheless be my go to watch, all time favorite. I do like to have a date feature.

well, this is the UK we are talking about, so the green alternative to the Hulk will sell like hotcakes. This is probably the largest delivery of SS watches from Rolex/Tudor in quite some time :chuckle:

Yes it was a Pam 745 with a blue dial. I passed on that one

rudestew 16 November 2017 09:57 PM

I pop in every now and then as the branded stuff comes about and only advertised in the broadsheets , problem is Tom Fords next door and i do my lot in there and Harrods would be bad for my health especially the champagne bar .

airchitect 16 November 2017 10:11 PM

From what I just saw in my handy dandy google search they’re only doing a run of 100.....for now. Wouldn’t be shocked to see it pop up at Basel. Otherwise DavidSW will have one for $9500 in a few months🤦*♂️

if thats true, i would question the point. Obviously they were going to sell out at some point but if they passed the display case all together its odd. Generally i would think a Store/AD exclusive is to get traffic in the door (not that harrods has that problem) but in any case you can't really use the "exclusive" release to advertise the fact you have them if they are all sold. :thinking:

"Come to Harrods we had an exclusive Tudor release, sort of"
