So I think we can all agree that Tudor have outdone Rolex this year! The question remains, which Tudor offering are we most excited by/itching to buy?

Personally the Black Bay is top of my list

Dan2010 · 8 March 2012, 12:55 AM

Black Bay for sure.

Jason71 · 8 March 2012, 12:55 AM

Definitely the Black Bay. I will be purchasing one of those from my good friend DavidSW. However, I might need to get both at some point in the future. I need to see the Pelagos in person though to decide for sure on it.

Speed · 8 March 2012, 12:55 AM

Love that Red one :-)

I imagine he's going to have a lot of similar requests!

Now I just need to find myself a way of getting one in the UK.

Well, I learned my lesson with the DSSD and paid a premium for that one getting it when it was still in VERY high demand after Basel. I will try my best to be patient on this one and wait until I can get a fair deal. I have a feeling that this one may command a premium for QUITE SOME TIME after it starts trickling into the market.

Al1988 · 8 March 2012, 01:12 AM

I have a feeling it'll be at least a year before I see the Black Bay on my wrist

These TUDORs will be priced around $4 large, is it right ??

1675-David · 8 March 2012, 01:17 AM

Black Bay

I've heard that they will be about EUR 3k so somewhere around the $4k mark seems right.

nowzen · 8 March 2012, 01:19 AM

I'd like the Black Bay if it had a black bezel.
Interesting they restored the rose.

jdc · 8 March 2012, 01:34 AM

Tudor lover here but I would have to say neither. The Pelagos has the best dial, snowflake with matching hands, good bracelet but at 42mm is too large for me and I don't like titanium. If it was 40mm and steel I think it would be a winner.
Don't get the Black Bay at all, the dial and hands seem a mismatch in design, hands being 70's snowflake and dial an earlier 60's mix. Bezel looks odd in that colour.

dukerules · 8 March 2012, 01:35 AM

I initially was drawn more to the Pelagos, but I think I simply love both of them. Very excited about these two releases, to me up there with anything Rolex/Tudor has put out in the last few years.

mjclark32 · 8 March 2012, 01:37 AM

Black bay is a beauty

I do agree with regards to perhaps being consistent with either snowflake features or the classic mercedes hands but that is where our agreement ends. I'm a big fan of everything else on the Black Bay

osjd · 8 March 2012, 02:40 AM

Black Bay, loved it.
But Pelagos has ceramic bezel, titanium case, 500m WR.

HL65 · 8 March 2012, 02:42 AM

Black Bay all the way!

Dan Pierce · 8 March 2012, 02:46 AM

Really like both, not sure if either will be in my future. But then, I said the same about the THC.

dP

salem65 · 8 March 2012, 03:00 AM

I held off on my purchase of a Breitling SOH to see what would come out at Basel. Glad I did after seeing the Black Bay. I love the look of it on the fabric strap, and the red bezel is exactly what I have been wanting.

rfknauss · 8 March 2012, 03:01 AM

Black Bay!

erikscollectables · 8 March 2012, 03:08 AM

Love them both but the Black Bay is the first Tudor I am thinking about really buying. I love the vintage look without the practical disadvantages for daily wear.

Engi · 8 March 2012, 03:08 AM

The Black Bay is really nice, it is growing on me ... I'm torn between the BB and the Heritage Chrono ...

Ciao

Baronrojo · 8 March 2012, 03:16 AM

These are VERY nice!! Black Bay definitely joining the stable. I wanted a Snowflake but was afraid of all the fakes...this will quench my thirst.

dddrees · 8 March 2012, 03:21 AM

Black Bay gets my vote.

Grumpy Badger · 8 March 2012, 03:25 AM

Black Bay for me all day every day (and twice on a Sunday!)

I might have to take the Long-haired General on a romantic weekend to Paris or Geneva!

(winning brownie points and just happening to bag a new watch at the same time!

~JJ · 8 March 2012, 03:29 AM

I was saving my first post for a special event... just got off the phone with a surprised ad in Canada... who hadn't even seen images of the new Tudor models yet. I was able to place my name first on the list for their first shipment (w/ small deposit), which is expected to be between Aug-Oct (based on previous releases) and they won't have pricing available until early next week. Is it wrong to be this hungry for a new piece, when I only got my explorer 3 months ago? hmmm

capote · 8 March 2012, 03:34 AM

BB is truly different. I bet it looks awesome on the wrist. If it is priced at EUR 3000 as suggested above, its even better. The other one I'm not too into. What is the point with these deep sea divers anyway?

sierra11b · 8 March 2012, 04:18 AM

I really like both but LOVE the Pelagos. It has completely cured my craving for SubC.

I think it's so well thought-out, aggressive yet pays homage to the original nicely, and hope the TI will finally make the weight of a bigger diver more approachable to a guy like me that likes smaller watches.

Where do I sign?!
