39mm t fit clasp. Yep love it. Best release from the crown or shield imo.

I can’t find the thickness of this watch listed? Is it the same case as a BB58?

Old Expat Beast · 30 March 2022, 04:54 PM

Best release from Rolex/Tudor for a while. Hope they fixed the date issue once and for all.

gomperzz · 30 March 2022, 04:55 PM

I honestly do not get why people are enamored by the sports models with very large crowns without a guard. I feel like it's impractical, but also less aesthetically pleasing.

kieselguhr · 30 March 2022, 04:56 PM

Holy cow!!!

Tudor did not disappoint at all!!!

David001 · 30 March 2022, 04:58 PM

Really nice.
I feel like Rolex have lost the plot and Tudor have overtaken them in terms of style.

Lol-x · 30 March 2022, 04:58 PM

I really like this model, reminiscent somewhat of a vintage Rolex 1655 EXII in design but obviously very different

glamorama · 30 March 2022, 04:59 PM

This might be my first Tudor! If it fits anything like a Rolex Explorer II 16570 in feeling on wrist.

It's a new smaller crown...

Srct · 30 March 2022, 05:00 PM

Best release from Tudor this year - though not much competition!

DCheeta · 30 March 2022, 05:01 PM

This is awesome! Best Wilsdorf release of the year. I might be buying my first Tudor this year.

Lol-x · 30 March 2022, 05:09 PM

Love the crown on this watch, it looks like the same style of Rolex with the big serrations (not the usual Black Bay style).
Love the vintage look of the hour markers without any white gold surrounds, and the riveted bracelet is cool too!!!

ThePalletFork · 30 March 2022, 05:09 PM

Wow looks nice to me!

Kyle3130 · 30 March 2022, 05:11 PM

Those damn fake rivets still kill it for me. Not a fan of yellow either. You almost got me Tudor.

Retlas · 30 March 2022, 05:13 PM

this is sweeet

Best release from Rolex/Tudor. I know the rivets kill me too. Not sure how I feel about the fauxtina. But I dig the watch.

Just because the crown is new and smaller doesn't negate my original statement. The crown on the new BB pro is still very large to come without a guard IMO.

I think it could be with a taller rear caseback.

D007 · 30 March 2022, 05:22 PM

Love the yellow hand. Hope its not as thick as the black bay gmt, but since they have the same movement thats probably the case. Need to see in person to reserve final judgment, but so far this looks like the most exciting release from tudor / rolex for me personally. Very cool watch.

baamvino · 30 March 2022, 05:22 PM

Amazing watch

danwang0520 · 30 March 2022, 05:22 PM

this looks nice.........i like it

SuinBruin · 30 March 2022, 05:24 PM

Nice retro ExpII vibes. I like the more aggressive knurling on the crown compared to the BB GMT. Still dislike the faux rivets on the bracelet, & not wild about the fauxtina on the lume & 24 hour hand. The lack of surrounds on the lume is kind of cool, though. As I already have the BB GMT I won't be buying this one, but of all the Rolex & Tudor releases, this is the winner IMO.

Lamontsanders · 30 March 2022, 05:24 PM

That’s a good looking watch.

Don't know yet doesn't look overly thick from this.

Jfullm42 · 30 March 2022, 05:24 PM

100% Agreed, already messaged my AD! The Explorer 2 we wanted last year from Rolex imo. Can't wait!

Hindsight · 30 March 2022, 05:25 PM

I was not expecting a fixed steel bezel, but I dig it.

Lamontsanders · 30 March 2022, 05:28 PM

14.6 mm thick

the dark knight · 30 March 2022, 05:30 PM

Hoping to see some wrist shots soon. The thickness seems slightly reduced from the BB GMT, but to me it still looks 14mm-ish. Combined with a 39mm diameter, this could end up looking and wearing like an Omega Planet Ocean hockey puck.

If the dimensions matched the BB58 this would obviously be the most popular release of the year.

That's disappointing if true, isn't that exactly the same thickness as the BB GMT?

If so the reduced diameter is only going to cause a hockey puck look.

SuinBruin · 30 March 2022, 05:33 PM

Yep, the thickness is the obvious achilles heel. The Explorer II is 12.5 mm -- Rolex has to keep some advantage over the little brother.
