Nothing to be embarrassed about

In this day and age characterized by a public general indifference towards wristwatches - if someone where to comment on the watch, let alone mistake it for a Rolex, don't worry - I would gladly put them on Tudor my friend.

My favourite from Tudor this year the Tudor Black Bay GMT! you can see it on the fabric strap, siena leather and the bracelet. Fresh photos from the press conference New in-house caliber I think is great value for money. The bezel colour was created using...  

Great looking new watch.

You will always feel 'less than' because it's not a Rolex... and looks 'exactly' like one... Anyone who notices your watch will say, 'Nice Rolex' and then feel embarrassed... Oh... Tudor... This type of marketing seems like from another age... when there ... 

Nothing to be embarrassed about

the clasp is totally different the bracelet is totally different The case .. the Tudor is 1 mm bigger, it's lugs are slimmer and it's lugs are bevelled The crown guard ... Rolex has them, Tudor doesn't The Tudors case is slightly thicker The crown, Comple... 

I mean... yes, yes, of course Bruno...

But this is clearly a Rolex 'copy'... is this really arguable? but of course in this community we all know every tiny difference, but... at any rate... just my opinion. I don't understand the excitement -- I personally would feel like I was wearing a wann... 

It is not arguable. How much more can it look like a Rolex GMT of yesteryears?

Obviously us WIS see it in an instance, but normal people will think it is a Rolex. Or a copy of it. Which it is. Is that a bad thing? I don’t know, but personally it would keep nagging me that it isn’t the real deal. The other Black Bays however would no... 

Not really.. 'normal' people would see it as a 'colourful' watch not a Rolex, and definitely not a vintage 1675 for that matter..

In any case I obviously appreciate where their, ahem, inspiration came from. But for a young guy like myself starting to dabble in the fascinating world of horology, I reckon this is a fantastic piece to journey the long road ahead with! Regards

Of course! [nt]

according to Tudor in the press conference

 
 By: christianch : March 26th, 2018-15:57
the blue and red are a combination of the previous black bays. I can confirm that the colour is very different vs. Rolex but let me give you my opinion: a) If money is not an issue some aficionados will probably buy both. The Tudor is very different, thic... 

In my opinion anyone interested should be able to reserve the watch by the AD...low risk

 
 By: christianch : March 26th, 2018-16:18
as no deposit is normally needed. Hope it will come in July but never know ! If I had to bet I think the Rolex GMT would be harder to get..

haha not cranky but you have a point...

 
 By: christianch : March 25th, 2018-03:12
I think to many a Rolex is still far away from the budget so why not capture this market with something high quality yet at a difference price point? This was the idea of Tudor when it started and is still true today. Of course for many Rolex owners what ... 

The live pictures look...
