Seems the short love affair for big heavy thick over the top watches has broken and the pendulum is swinging back the other way. Watch peeps complained for decades that they wanted bigger, thicker watches with a ton of wrist presence. Now everyone wants smaller thinner lighter watches. IMO 14.5mm is not overly thick for a Sports watch and a 39/40mm case diameter is a classic size. We’ve come full circle just like the old school watch experts said we would. Beautiful watch. Been eyeing one but waited for the mania around it to die down. Tons of used on the market for considerable discounts. I guess people couldn’t live with the thickness because everything else about this Tudor BB Pro ticks all the right boxes for a daily driver
I’am a owner of the watch and it’s perfect size on the wrist. It’s perfect not high and think. 8 1/2 inch wrist. Well balance. Everyone should get it. Plus its a good looking watch. Tudor make a white dial look out Rolex. Little sister is climbing on top.
Bought it, and had to return it. The thickness wasn’t an issue, but the top-heavy nature/weight was. It just didn’t feel comfortable on my 6.75” wrist. It almost felt like the weight of the case head was not spread across a wide enough footprint. It tended to stick in one spot on my wrist; I couldn’t easily flick my wrist and get it to slide a bit and move to a new spot. A shame…I loved the look and the finishing!
Lovely watch you have there. I own a Tudor Black Bay 925 with a standard leather strap. It is very light and the movement has Rolex accuracy. I believe that Tudor test/set their chronometer movements to within +4/-2 seconds a day and mine is well within this parameter. Amazing narration by the way, you could do it professionally.
Perfect watch. Have it since it’s launch and never looked back. I would maybe replace it only if Rolex explorer II is offered at 39mm. The current BBPro is a great choice for a modern, good quality GMT piece.
I own this watch as well and tbh I’ve been astounded by the movement. The last time I set it was I think about 2 months ago, and it’s half a second behind! It has been gaining and losing up to around 2 seconds in this time but somehow balances out, wearing it most days, putting it down for 1 or 2 days and winding it by hand if I haven’t worn it for a while. I might be lucky but tbh the timekeeping is better than a Rolex I owned (granted I’ve owned only one and it was a vintage)
Not comparable to Rolex prices 7 years ago my friend, it’s priced just above Longines. Rolex were 2-3 times pricier than Longines 6-7 years ago. Tudor is exactly where they’ve always been in the market, it’s an affordable entry level watch from the Hans Wildorf group.
Thank You Sam, Very Cool.
Thanks!
Great review Sam!
Thanks!

I’m interested to see which affordable watches you may try out.
Might look at getting the Seiko 5 vintage reissue or a 35mm prx. But time will tell

Can you do a giveaway? I've heard that giveaways are very good for channels.
lmao

7 years ago I paid £3,300 for my explorer 2. The prices are comparable
@@jmemphisTXno because a Tudor would have only been £1000
absolutely embarassing that tudor can't make a GMT under 14mm.
