Say something nice...
…about the Tudor P01.
It is the only current-production sports watch from Rolex or Tudor with a matte submariner dial with painted-on luminous hour markers and red dial text. It has a beautifully brushed case and bezel that screams "useful tool watch" without looking too angular but also without being glittery like a dainty luxury model. In-house movement, 70 hr power reserve. The case is large but ergonomic and hugs the wrist perfectly (granted, not a good fit for people with small wrists). A great bargain for around $4k. I think everyone got butthurt over the p01 because it wasn't a submariner, but now you have the BB58 blue, yet another sub clone. You may not like it, but this is what a future classic looks like: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I tried it on last Feb. The strap is super comfy.

I always liked the matte dial, very familiar to Tudor
But most of all, buyers of this piece are most likely, serious watch enthusiasts |

I wouldn't let my dog wear that watch, but that's why there's multiple styles out there. I can say a positive thing - if you like it, wear it with pride.

The P01 that Mr. Enthusiast 'embellished' I think is awesome.
Not something I real have the time or inclination to do, but cool result. P01's are growing on me, at least something different from The Crown Company. |

I think it looks better on steel bracelet. But saying it’s a future classic is a bold prediction. Kind of like when a commentator states a fifth round draft pick is a future hall of famer. It may happen but does not appear that way from the start.

It is a bold claim for a bold watch. Then again, many "classic" Rolex designs (as well as AP Royal Oaks/ROOs and Patek Nautili) started out being scoffed at and scorned as ugly, overpriced, and/or unpopular, but then slloooowwwwly developed a core group of collectors and enthusiasts who saw its merits while everyone else ignored them until it was unobtanium.

The leather strap alone makes it a complete disaster for me, but I couldn’t care less. I’m never going to buy such a thing.

Say something nice? No problem, you’re absolutely right about the beautiful dial characteristics. Didn’t actually know about those details as I never got past the exterior.
What’s important is that you like it and enjoy it. |
