So I have the Tudor Black and Blue and while I think the Black is nice, the urge is just not there as I prefer having some colors. I wondered if they will release any new colors and what could it be? So I used the gilt dial from the Red and put on some colors.

Brown

Light Blue

Green

So any chance of new colors in the near future? Might not be from the above.

Danny83 · 12 January 2016, 11:55 PM

That brown one would be nice

Old Expat Beast · 12 January 2016, 11:57 PM

Brown looks great.

mikelcch · 13 January 2016, 12:04 AM

I was also surprised brown looks good. And I think light blue with gilt dial looks fine as well.

HogwldFLTR · 13 January 2016, 12:16 AM

All three look good; makes for a nice pallet of choices.

nick c · 13 January 2016, 12:48 AM

Blue and green

Luap1976 · 13 January 2016, 12:53 AM

Green and light blue winners

Maxy · 13 January 2016, 01:08 AM

I think they should stop it at current 3 - Black, Blue and Red.

bkertzer89 · 13 January 2016, 01:09 AM

Orange?

Etschell · 13 January 2016, 01:10 AM

green would be best but with the non vintage dial.

mikelcch · 13 January 2016, 01:34 AM

Yes I agree too. It's based on the Heritage line and these are the classic colors but then again they might say they found a faded bezel turned X color and now they're reissuing it...who knows.. That's how the Red came about..

lmcgbaj · 13 January 2016, 01:39 AM

I think 3 colors is plenty already. They should concentrate on having an in-house movement on that watch, same like Pelagos.

I'd get the green one in a heartbeat.

Chadridv · 13 January 2016, 06:23 AM

i know this is blasphemous to say, but I never took the 50th anniversary LV, but for some reason on the BB with leather, that green looks great.

Duke84 · 13 January 2016, 07:32 AM

The brown one looks nice.

mikelcch · 13 January 2016, 07:51 AM

...So here it is. Amateur work, I'm not very good at this as I'm just using an app.

Having done all this, I hope there are no other colors added to the range. Sort of cheapens the range I feel.

Also, since the bezel are aluminium is there a chance the bezel could fade just like the old Rolex bezels? Any ways to accelerate the process?

Looks good!
I would put the orange bezel on the black bay blue dial not the rose gold one

SemperFi · 13 January 2016, 08:52 AM

The brown looks great with the gilt dial.

The brown might be nice!

mike · 13 January 2016, 12:05 PM

The Brown does look nice. Green won't happen-Rolex will see to that.

Yeah, green is probably a Rolex color and they wouldn't want to compete with each other. But then again they allowed the Black Bay black vs. the Sub and Pelagos Blue vs. Blue Sub in terms of colors (everything else aside) so there's probably a very, very small chance. Could be a different shade vs. LV/LVC.

Anyway that's just a guess because I really hope they stop issuing new colors. In fact I hope they will discontinue the BB range and create new in-house and a totally new range

Blackdog · 13 January 2016, 09:11 PM

I certainly hope they stop at the three they already have.

The red is now a classic in it's own right. Lot's of personality.
Never cared for the blue, myself. Too cold looking.
The black was, well, predictable. But we know it works well. Kinda makes the blue unnecessary...

But more colors ? Please don't ! That's diluting the appeal of the model too much. This is becoming too Michael Kors already...

The in-house movement would be a nice touch. Or a date version maybe.

A GMT version, on the other hand..... Make it a Pepsi or a Coke and get ready to sell thousands !

Sublovin · 13 January 2016, 10:13 PM

I say leave it alone. To be honest I would prefer they cut back to only two colors as is. This is supposed to be a utilitarian type watch you don't want to make it to fashiony.

Personally I'm a bit more indifferent about this watch, however I totally get what you're saying and felt the exact same way about the 2015 fast rider series with all those different colors. Remind me of swatch or something.

pinkelle21 · 13 January 2016, 11:53 PM

I like the green, but also think 3 colors is enough😎

Make that brown a brass insert and with a bit of patina it would look amazing ;)
