    In this video, I go hands-on with the newly released Tudor Black Bay. Nicknamed the ‘Monochrome’, this new Black Bay builds on the previously reviewed Black Bay burgundy with a more muted design language begging the question, does the world need more black dive watches?

    Hot take: Tudor is not a poor mans Rolex. Rolex has become an expensive Tudor.

  • @parkerholland8451

    I inquired with my AD about this watch the day after its release. 24 hours later, I received a call that it was available and was offered the first one the AD got. I went for the 5-link. I cannot tell you how good this watch is. I've had and still have a number of Rolex models, but this hasn't left my wrist since I bought it. Another thing to note is my AD allowed me to order the rubber strap option, which I should be receiving soon - so I'll basically get to experience 2 variations of this watch with the manufacturers blessing. Forget the "value for money" argument, this watch is more enjoyable to me than ones in my collection that cost twice as much. The price is the least interesting thing about it.

      do you know by any chance if you can order the regular bracelet and get the 5 link? (along with the rubber) and get the trio? Here in Miami they are in a long wait list...

      @parkerholland8451 Před měsícem +2

      @@OswaldoLafee my AD didn’t seem to think Tudor would have a problem selling me any of the other bracelet options. The only challenge is they could not give me a timeline on when I am set to receive it. So it could be in a week or 3 months by the time I get the rubber strap + new clasp. Keeping my fingers crossed it’s sooner

      @@OswaldoLafee also the 5 link is ultra pricy if you buy it from Tudor. It’s over a grand I believe. There are watches on the 5 link on Chrono24 that are over retail but cheaper than a “oyster style” + ordering 5 link from an AD. I love this watch and I hope you guys get a chance to buy it soon!

    From a “no date” sub owner- if this was on the market before I got my sub I probably wouldn’t have a sub. The monochrome no date diver with the 5 link and the T fit is fantastic. I hope they release the navy blue bezel version in this format so I have an excuse to buy one

    I love this watch but since I do have a Rolex Submariner, I decided to buy the burgundy bezel version of this watch. As you said, it does wear completely different from the other Tudor 41mm watches like the old GMT. I had that watch and sold it because it just felt too big for me. It was too thick and top heavy but this watch feels completely different and I actually think it wears smaller than other 41mm watches I have worn. The 5-link "jubilee" bracelet is amazing and the T-fit clasp makes this bracelet even better than the Rolex version. This is a home run for Tudor and if you don't own a Submariner, this is a great watch for less than half the price of a Rolex and you can get it with a jubilee bracelet.

    Im absolutely a fan of it.. I dont own a Tudor, but that will change very soon. I can’t wait to get this watch with the factory rubber strap option. I really like it, I love the clasp too - love everything about it. IT will check the box for a good knock around daily for me whenever I’m doing things that are less than ideal for me to wear my daytona, daydate, etc.. type of watches - but with this Ill still have something on thats very enjoyable, iconic in its own right, and will go well with any outfits/style

    Are we just ignoring the BB58 blue as the perfect modern substitute for the old snowflake dial blue Tudor Submariner? Or the Pelagos 39 as a Submariner/Sea Dweller “hybrid”? I have the ETA Black Bay blue bezel and still have a BB GMT, so I’m a big fan of these watches, but I don’t see a reason to ignore Tudor’s previous models (that are still being sold, no less) to call this second gen Black Bay the new Tudor Sub when the smaller models are far more like the classic Submariners than this is. It looks like an incredible watch, but it’s an evolutionary change from the old Black Bay, which was also very reminiscent of the Submariner to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, I like this a lot, I’m just struggling to see why it’s being considered so revolutionary.

    I own one. IIt is so great in person. Love it. So much so that I took my name off the sub list.

    I wonder if this piece has a place in a collection with a Speedy and Explorer41. Lots of black and grey/silver

    Nothing beats the OG BB58!

    A snowflake dial would have kept the Tudor sub DNA but this is an amazing release as is, the value is insane.

    Looks good, crown guards would have been nice though 👍

      No. It's a vintage looking watch.

    I love this watch. I have had my eye on a Rolex no-date Sub for a while, and as stunning as it is, it is a little too flashy. If Rolex made a flat black version, I'd be all in. This is as close to that as I think it will get.

    So are these watches available worldwide yet?

    New Teddy background dropped. That’s the real news.

    Great Video Teddy, I see this Black Bay as the better Rolex Sub No Date - the Rolex Sub No Date Price in Germany is 9.350 Euros - this Tudor Black Bay 41 with "Oyster-Bracelet" is offered at 4.430 Euros with a great movement at Omega-Standard. This is 47% of the Rolex Price. I still can understand to go for the Rolex, but then you might be crazy enough to take the Tudor as an hommage daily beater ... and avoid scratches at the Rolex. Maybe Rolex/Tudor speculates on the weird watch geek behaviour and spending. Many thanks for the review. Greetings from Germany
