What are your thoughts on this new version?

I'm a sucker for bronze so I love it. Think i'll be picking one up later this year to join the others..

NWNL · 20 March 2019, 10:51 PM

I love it!

nick c · 20 March 2019, 10:52 PM

It’s a nice looking bronze.

DramaTurtle · 20 March 2019, 10:55 PM

Probably the best release...

dafuture · 20 March 2019, 11:04 PM

This was one of the few watches of the release I really liked. I'm very curious to see one in person, it could be on my radar now.

Etschell · 20 March 2019, 11:07 PM

43 mm too big for me.

derekhayden · 20 March 2019, 11:11 PM

It's the best looking piece they released this year. I could see picking one up but I don't own the Bucherer as you do so I would pick that one up first. Overall I think my money is safe this year.

madgpol · 20 March 2019, 11:17 PM

Prefer the original bronze

SpeakWithMichael · 20 March 2019, 11:18 PM

Any word on the thickness? 43mm is 1 or 2mm more than I'd like in case diameter, but I love the design. Or is it the same thickness as the blue bronze?

I'd grab the Bucherer first as well. No telling how much longer it'll be in production and I'm sure the new version will be around for a few years and more readily available.

tudorbaja27 · 20 March 2019, 11:22 PM

It's the Bucherer edition brought to the US. Good release

Yep, wish they kept it at same dimensions like the black bay 58.

JayHantz · 20 March 2019, 11:33 PM

I actually like this a lot and it’s probably my favorite Tudor release. Definitely want to see it in person.

encarter13 · 21 March 2019, 12:18 AM

I really like all of the bronze watches. I need to add one to my collection.

DonBateman · 21 March 2019, 12:18 AM

You won't be disappointed..

reddog4063 · 21 March 2019, 01:52 AM

I like the original better, looks amazing all in bronze and beige.

SPMN · 21 March 2019, 01:54 AM

I think it’s beautiful. Would have loved it to be smaller, but it’s stunning.

Absolutely best Tudor release.

Chrono_lando · 21 March 2019, 05:24 AM

Do you think the original will now go up in value? At the minimum it is officially an original classic.

I think it’s their best release this year by a mile. Probably even better than what Rolex did.

A little on the large side but aesthetically it looks great.

SpeakWithMichael · 21 March 2019, 05:38 AM

Here’s another question I have: the Tudor site states this is a bronze-colored PVD coated steel. Will this stand the test of time? Should I be bothered that it’s not a solid bronze case? What else would be important to know about PVD coating? Many thanks.

Has the original been discontinued?

It’s gone from the website so I would say yes

Don’t know where you’re seeing that. The case is solid aluminum bronze and the US site states that.

One can only speculate but I don’t think it will increase too much in value. I don’t think the BBB is on a lot of peoples want list.
