Am i the only one who likes these two tudors ?

the more i look at em, the more i like em...

maybe its the videos on the Tudor site for these two new models... but they seem more of cool tool watches vs the jewelry-like appearances of the new Rolex models

i never really liked the Bund type strap, but it really works well on this chrono...
and the P01, although not for everyone, the design really grows on u

anyone else like em or do u all think these two new Tudor releases are fail ?

pics for u guys from tudor site

I'm thinking you have clinical Basel Shock Syndrome, BSS. Maybe not enough sleep, too much TRF anxiety from the last 24 hrs. You need rest, maybe some hydration. You can recover if you take it easy. Trust me, that's my screen name.

Most of these are nearly nice watches.

The BB Chrono S&G is beautiful but at $6,000 it's a joke that it doesn't even have real 18k gold components. That's gold plate you see there.

The P01 has a great looking dial and bezel and primary case, but the endlinks and abomination of a bracelet are hideous. I'm hoping they just make it into a regular watch because otherwise I really like it.

Plenty of folks like the chrono.

The P01 will be gopping no matter how many times I see it. In fact I’m going to book in with an ophthalmologist tomorrow because there’s a risk I might’ve developed malignant eye cancer from seeing it.

The chrono is quite ok.
P01 sends me a strong late 60s - early 70s vibe. Not for me.

If you like those two you really are suffering from BSS! I was expecting better from Rolex and Tudor.

I actually like both watches - the chrono more so. Neither are on my immediate buy list however.

I read the gold parts were solid except the crown was capped.

Somebody sarcastically wrote that the Tudor P01 and AP’s 11:59 would be the perfect two watch collection, made me chuckle

black bay already sounds like a pirate watch so this watch is full on Goonies. The "Sloth"

I can't get past the connected crown guard & lug on the P01. I guess I can live with the rotating bezel that displays hours (why not minutes?) but that crown guard/lug situation is just a disaster.

Also, why is a diver on leather?

I like 'em fine, but I wouldn't buy either. The P01 probably won't be anyone's first watch, or even a second or third, but I can see someone with a bunch of watches enjoying it for it's retro vibes.

I think folks are just frustrated that Tudor could easily have released watches to scratch a more mainstream itch and they just chose not to. A Red BB58 is literally just a new aluminum insert, for example. We aren't getting it for no reason than that Tudor didn't want to give it to us (yet, at least). It's hard not to feel like Tudor is holding back.

Great advertising strategy. Like the ugly dog at the pound. You feel so bad for it you just have to take it home. You didn't really want it as you have four dogs already, but if you didn't take it, then it was getting put down.

guilt selling

It is, but they don't say anything about the leather being suitable for use in water. From the website:

"The strap developed for the Black Bay P01 model is a rubber base with 'snowflake' motif on the back, finished with a brown leather trim. In the spirit of the period prototype, mobile satin-brushed steel attachments connect the strap to the watch case."

The bezel, pushers and first links are all solid gold..
