you sir, are the ASMR of watch reviewers. great work again! Tried on the Pro at the AD and the thickness didn't bother me at all. your mileage my vary, but I think it is another excellent release in 2022 for Tudor
Great video as always. I love you perspective and analysis. I would love to get your thoughts and a review of the GO SeaQ panorama date. To me this are a step above a Rolex and stand right with Blancpain FF in quality and execution.
The gmt hand is yellow right not orange? I wish it was more orange sometimes it kind of looks like a faded orange and sometimes it looks like a bright yellow
Superb review as always Sir,,,, good to see you back,,,,, 39mm is great,,,my sweet spot being 34mm-40mm,,, Found that after a few weeks with a DJ2 that looked like “ Big Ben” on my wrist😂,, Hope that Tudor release a Polar Pro,,,,,
Why is Tudor not capable of making its gmt watches thinner ? Gmt is not a big deal complication today.. it probably is the cost, but still, should be able to find a way as Rolex's sister brand
Simple. Rolex doesn’t allow Tudor to cannibalize Rolex revenue. For the same reason every single Tudor watch, despite how good they are, always have 1 massive deal breaker built into the design. Rolex will never allow Tudor to thrive at their best.
@@OperationNonsense yup I've been expressing this view on various websites and totally agree. Tudor can make a better watch than Rolex, but they won't. The shield protects the crown, after all.
I don't get why great brands like Tudor and Omega can't make sports watches which are 11mm thick or less!? It's the one thing preventing me from looking at watches like the Pro.... yes I'm sure it's a very hard thing to do, but I wish they came up with thinner movements. I would even go for a manual wind version of it was 10-11mm... that would be awesome
Ok few things to note here… 11 mm and below are considered dress watch territory or something that Patek or AP would do. Even Rolex timepieces which are considered relatively thin for sports models are between 11.6 to 12.6 mm. I think it’s unrealistic to ask for WR of 300m, in house movement, PR of 70 hours and price range 3 - 7k USD and want a thickness of less than 11mm. I’m no sure about how thick Omega Co-Axial calibres are, but I know that Tudor calibre MT5652 inside the Pro and GMT is relatively thick which explains why the case is thick is well. Norqain, another brand that shares the base Kenissi calibre with Tudor also have thick cases (>14 mm) which shows it’s the thickness of the calibre that’s resulting in thick cases. I think it might to do with cutting R&D and manufacturing cost. It might cost Tudor much more money to produce a thin GMT calibre which will force them to increase the prices of the GMT and Pro lines and as a result encroach on Rolex GMT master ll and Explorer ll lines which is a no go for the Hans Wilsdorf foundation.
For Tudor, I think it has to do with the movement architecture & company relationships. For Tudor to "fix" the GMT movements flaws, it would turn into a 1-1 of the Rolex GMT movement, which would create too much competition between the sister companies. If you look at the current Tudor GMT movement, they are already pretty similar, specifically at the escapement and balance systems (minus the balance wheel material). With Tudors designs coming from classic/vintage Rolex already, to slap a modern Rolex movement in (which typically go for the price of a new Tudor if you try to purchase the movement on its own) would actually diminish the value of Rolex. For Omega, I think it's actually the technology involved. Omega has a pretty complex escapement system that adds some thickness but also drinks power (IE the double barrels). The movement technology is great and incredibly accurate but adds thickness
@@PepRex The submariner has 100M more water resistance than the 58 Tudor will never release a technically superior watch to Rolex. If the Pro was 12mm thick and $4000 USD, it would crush the Explorer 2 value and sales
Glad to have you back!

You’re comparing it to the Rolex explorer in the video, do you mean explorer II?
Do a video on breitling colt
Please do a ranger review?
I havent start watching yet but I already know this watch is just too thick! 😂
Try it on your wrist, you will be shocked how great it wears. Trust me!
@@S_88888 I tried this on a couple of weeks ago at Watches of Switzerland and haven't been able to stop thinking about it...
Looks like a Rolex Explorer imo don’t like either of them. Just not for me. Best reviews though!
Same, the explorer look just doesn't do it for me either. But I still enjoy content on it!

@@PepRex it’s 39mm vs 41mm, 200m vs 300m WR and thickness difference is only 0.4mm (12mm vs 12.4 mm)
@@ZachFrank714 all very interesting points.
My IWC is 11mm thick but then again it's only 60m water resist , so it's a trade off
Way too thick and looks thicker than it is. Tudor messed it up unfortunately. The 58 is still Tudor’s masterpiece 👌🏼
@@PepRex bloody hell that’s exactly what I was thinking 🤔 it looks like a Seiko 🤦🏻♂️
@@PepRex this makes the 39 Pelagos look like a masterpiece.
Try it on your wrist, you will be shocked how great it wears. Trust me!
Too thick, thick af
