Tudor OnlyWatch 2017

http://www.onlywatch.com/the-watches/tudor/

I'm not sure about the LHD crown but I love the dial colour.

This year the watch comes with a trip to Tudor HQ.

I would take this any day at the estimated price $4600-5700. Not sure where they got that from I'm sure many people would pay that just for the factory trip.

What do you think??

Tudor is turning into a one trick pony. They have so many derivatives of the BB that even Omega is starting to get impressed.

This made me chuckle but it's not like rolex doesn't have 1000 iterations of the date just and dd.

It's true. Most of those are good though. Something Omega and, increasingly, Tudor can't really claim.

What's next Tudor, a destro DLC BB with a blue bezel and a date?! Sign me up Maybe a bronze one in 41mm for Basel 2019.

I'm mostly joking, but their designs are getting incredibly derivative and uninteresting. When they released the Heritage chrono, BB, and Pelagos in quick succession it seemed like they had their finger on the pulse of modern watchmaking.

Now after the Ranger, North flag, 36mm no-bezel BB, and endless variants on the BB and Pelagos theme... they seem to have lost the magic. At least for me.

I agree with the general sentiment that they are overdoing it by remaking essentially the same watch over and over but about the DJ's being good... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I still like my blue pelagos. Not a huge fan of the bb series.

I dont understand this comment. I count 36 variations of the Daytona, I am not even going to attempt to count the number of variations of the Datejust, it mus tbe over 100. I think there are 8 Submariners. I think there are 8 or 9 variations of the Black Bay.

That's really nice. The final price of this will make the Bucherer boutique edition Heritage Black Bay Bronze Blue look like the bargain of the century. I wonder if it will surpass last year's piece.

I like the watch. Like the green and bronze combo. But it is a bit unoriginal for a only watch auction. So what is everyone's guess as to what if this makes it to production, like the BB black only watch?? The destro bronzo or the green dial and bezel??

I like the blue Pelagos too. It's too big for me, but still a cool summer watch. I think it's crazy that Tudor doesn't sell a watch using the 16610 mid case fitted with a modern Tudor bracelet and clasp. A new 79190 would be an instant buy for me, first on the list, type of watch.

It's beautiful and will sell for more than I can afford. Very worthy cause.
I want one.

Bought a BB Bronze a few weeks back at harrods, I really enjoy the watch in a chunky simple way vs the detail of my Rolex, it would be comical against the precise detail of my old Patek if I still had it. The Tudor is my weekend knock around and beach watch.

Definitely will make the blue edition look like a bargain plus the trip to Tudor is all expenses paid I can see this easily going for 50k+ but not the 375k that the BB1 went for as that was Tudor's first OnlyWatch plus I believe it was sold before the other BBs came out as opposed to this which is a modification of a current model (but might be wrong).
