No lollipop unless it gets Mercedes hour hand

But why change this hand lay out? IMO it should be left the way it is.

Why Not? Tudor Black Bay 58 PuristSPro Edition
By: Joepny : March 23rd, 2018-17:49
Two little tweaks made to the new Black Bay 58 and it becomes a perfect Tudor heritage diving watch. I mean it's a damn nice original to start with as Nico said in his thread (39mm x 11.9mm case, beveled lugs, gilt writing everywhere). The addition of the...

What if
By: Gelato Monster : March 25th, 2018-04:04
We add full minute/second military ring like 5517?
The Black Bay is a strange mix-match
By: Joepny : March 26th, 2018-12:49
I think the circular hour markers are taken from the 1950's Tudor submariners which were using parts from Rolex and those also used the Rolex Mercedes hour hand/lollipop seconds hands for the most part. There was an exception with pencil hands. The snowfl...
Oh Thank You!
By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2018-01:34
I suggested the Mercedes hour hand and lollipop second hand too! The standard "pencil" hands will work with the lollipop second hand. But the snowflake hour hand won't work with the lollipop second hand.
yes the Orologi & Passioni one
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-03:58
I liked it. Iām not Italian though and Tudor has no great legacy in Italy so the wording in Italian is a novelty.
That's nice!
By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2018-01:35
But we need to do something different! And I'm dying for the lollipop second hand, which looks better with a hand that isn't the snowflake hour hand.
Awesome idea.
By: Rhyzen : March 23rd, 2018-22:20
I'm definitely in if this comes true.
my fav release this bw
By: keks : March 23rd, 2018-22:38
well... for a PuristS edition I would definitely be in!
Yes and no
By: Bruno.M1 : March 24th, 2018-00:44
without the rose They must keep this for the eta movements, keep this unique for these pieces Give these eta rose pieces the chance to get special and collectible overtime That aside.... Iām interested On the other hand... I wish Tudor would not accept al...
well I think Tudorās revitalization started about 6-7? years ago
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-04:30
It has not been long that Tudor came back to the world with very good modern watches. So I think all these āspecial editionā watches with retailers & enthusiast communities have been part of their strategy to build their business. I am sure it will become...
Actually

Isnā There a black bay edition for harrods?
yes
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-10:07
there was Harrodās green bezel one. Bucherer had the blue bezel bronze case. I am really surprised that there was no special version in North America with any of the big Tudor ADs here. perhaps there was and it was not publicized.
Why not?
By: VMM : March 24th, 2018-02:49
Love the extra red on the dial, I think it looks much better than the original. I really like the original, but I'm not sure if I would buy it, let's wait to se how it feels on my wrist. I guess if it could be made Ć la carte, we could end up with a very ...
Definitely, Iām up for this...
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 24th, 2018-03:55
Great idea. Hope that Tudor wants to play ball. Can we have it on a bracelet and NATO band that reflects the special edition.
If itās of any help...
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 24th, 2018-04:41
I will order more than one if we donāt reach the total needed to make the project happen.
Good man! š
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-06:45
I have ideas to prevent behavior that is not truly long-term passion for a special project watch. I remember the Vacheron Hodinkee chronograph made 1 year ago that was ludicrously flipped by 4 buyers after about 3 months; that was out of like 35 total wat...
I like this idea .
By: Steve58 : April 14th, 2018-01:29
I believe the 1st year warranty idea is solid
If the watch fund allows and the group allows
By: Gelato Monster : March 24th, 2018-11:37
It would be very very nice to purchase more than one of such limited edition to be passed on or gifted to family or the closest of friends.
Cool, that would be fantastic!
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-12:27
I typically think when you have a wait-list and there's a queue of people who say they want something, you have to expect that 10-20% will change their minds for some reason. If we have 60 people on PuristSPro who say that they want to buy this special co...
Would love this....
By: chris7509 : March 24th, 2018-04:42
It would look really nice .... I am interested +1 !!!
Hehe...I think it will be a good list of special requests š
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-06:50
The first big steps are to get PuristSPro management (Bill, Anthony, MTF, ThomasM) to green light the project. Then perhaps find a PuristSPro moderator with Tudor knowledge (Nicolas or Miranda or Baron or DrStrong) who can manage the project. Then finding...
I think Nicolas asked for that too
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-06:54
The wish list grows: -Tudor rose logo on dial -red writing for 200m:660ft text -faded/ghost bezel -red seconds hand -lollipop seconds hand -drilled lugs -special PuristSPro engraving on caseback
Yes! [nt]
By: FlyingSnoopy : March 24th, 2018-08:23
yes I remember the Only Watch unique piece
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-10:11
Crazy price! I think it will be very difficult to convince Tudor to do anything that gets close to that unique piece. I bet Tudor wants to keep that unique piece design separate. Like the lollipop seconds hand that a few members have on the wish list, I t...
We have 20 PuristS expressed interest. We need more!
By: Joepny : March 24th, 2018-10:26
PuristSPro management and Tudor management will not be convinced by 20 guys. Iām pretty sure that is a cold hard fact. We really need 60-70 people with serious interest. Updated wish list: -Tudor rose logo on dial -red writing for 200m:660ft text -faded/g...
I'd buy one

I heard a podcast from Dean Delray when Russell Kelly was interviewed. So I was going to hit up Dean Delrayās IG account to see if he could help get in touch with Tudor management before I saw your post. Letās make this dream into reality!

By: DonQuijones : March 24th, 2018-19:20
I've been watching from the sidelines for a while. Naturally my first post has to be in support of this quixotic idea!
I'm in too!
By: jpd : March 25th, 2018-08:41
preferably with a bezel slightly fading to grey (as Nico had mentioned) and a lollipop second hand would also be great... But ne that as it may: count me in on this please! Best, Jan
Haha yes.

The new two tone is also nice! Feels weird that Iāve (regained) strong feelings for modern Rolex... š¤
Great idea!

I'm in but I have a more "radical" design
By: reintitan : March 25th, 2018-11:16
which I don't think Tudor will go for: Change the circular hour markers into square hour markers for a full Snowflake dial and hands.
Good idea!
By: Arie - Mr Orange : March 25th, 2018-11:24
I guess I would be in.
Yes!

If pencil hands confirmed - I am in...
By: chronos-lorien : March 27th, 2018-02:44
I think this is a matter of proper communication with Tudor. The pencil hands (like on the Only Watch ed) should not be a problem for the manufacturer to be installed on small series (at least technically). Lets try!
Iām sure making pencil hands in itself for Tudor is not a problem
By: Joepny : March 27th, 2018-04:44
The bigger challenge is their Tudor design code and what image they will allow any of their production watches to have and how it impacts assembly of the watch, even if for a small special order. If you look at all the special Black Bay watches that were ...
Iām in too!
By: cfn : March 28th, 2018-07:11
I would love to own such a watch, if possible. I am a recent convert to Tudor after having purchased a Black Bay Bronze Blue here in Copenhagen. Claus
No, it is still early
By: Joepny : March 27th, 2018-06:49
BaselWorld is just officially ending today March 27. I have not heard from Tudor officially, but it is probably because they are focused on BaselWorld. So I guess the Tudor managers will want to have a recovery period after BaselWorld and then perhaps we ...

I would buy something like that straightaway. It would remind me so much my father's 5508 it was stolen from me many years ago! Size, lungs, bracelet! Tudor often broadens watch lines! Sorry, my idea goes in a completely different direction. ...
A sort of monochromatic one
By: Joepny : March 29th, 2018-05:23
Well, it might be too subdued for most. But you never know what Tudor will do in the future. I think Tudor will make other commercial versions of the BB58 over the next year after the first release will be out in July. It makes sense for their business wh...
