Just got this panda dial black bay chrono from my AD tonight. A beautiful and care free daily watch, resemble the PN daytona.
Watched the new oo7 movie with wife and this new watch.
Have a great weekend ahead, Everyone.

Best, Henry.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Black Bay Chrono's size and thickness are likely dictated by the integrated MT movement and chronograph modules. A significant reduction in size would probably require a new movement development or a shift to manual winding.
The black dial version of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is also highly regarded and enjoyed by collectors, with some expressing interest in adding the white panda dial variant to their collection.
There is a desire among collectors for Tudor to release a 39mm version of the Black Bay Chrono, suggesting a preference for a more compact case size.

Thanks, Lanky. The movie is quite good, though a bit long (2hr 50min). A good conclusion of the oo7 series played by Craig.

Thanks!

The critics are raving, so I figured that I’d. The penultimate one was also long.

Thank you, Nico. Wish it were housed in a 39 or 40mm smaller and slimmer case..... and without date. That's why I picked the white one, the date is less conspicuous than the black one.

But I do like the black bezel insert and pandal dial very much.
