#Rolex #Tudor #AET
Tudor allowed customers to try on watches and had a pop up where their new watches could be purchased…learn from your little brother, Rolex.
@@TheBrindleBoxer true - but nothing lasts forever; US, JPN, many of the big EU countries will probably have recessions.
And it would be easy to kill the flipping; buy back 3, 4 ‘new never worn’ sport models on each continent- trace them back to the AD who sold them - pull their allotment and make sure it makes the press. New customers would start getting called.
It was a great idea. Long queues though.
Glad to see the camera operators getting some lens time! Great energy from the guys and the crew! I just hope Tudor gave the guys a pat down before they let them leave 🤣
Adrian kept asking for a rub 🤷🏽??
@@AboutEffingTime had to read this twice for context.
Agreed. They make this stuff happen and nailed it.
@@AboutEffingTime only from you!
This was possibly the best episode yet. I think you have had a bit more than Four Pillars but it definitely lends itself to the best watch content online right now. Really hope you guys go from strength to strength.
That’s too kind Darren 🙌
Thanks so much Darren 🙌🏻
Haha a lot more than four pillars Shiraz
Love the upgraded 41 on jubilee (yes, I said it), but the BB54 is my pick too. Special mention to the new BB36/39/41s also. Great job, Tudor.
I just love the intro… The AET “Ghostbusters” trio, matching jumpsuits, Adrian in his “boring as f*** plain white tee, George in sneakers no one can get or afford and Andrew hoping the boys would stroke his greyless beard! Love this $hit! Great stuff, guys!
Thanks David, the love is mutual !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're all great. As to which is preferable I feel it's often a choice made by the watches you already own - like Adrian said. If you have a lot of plain tool watches you may opt for the bb and its gilt touches and jubilee bracelet though if you already have more modern, 'flashier' divers you may go for the 54 instead for a change.
The BB54 doesn't look too small at all! The debate is ridiculous. It looks perfectly proportioned on your wrist, even seen from distance. Such a nice watch!
Agree EH
Cool. The Ghost Busters reviewing watches🤣
👻 🔫
I tried the 54 today and was blown away, it's amazing, has to be seen in the flesh!

Good to see you Ron
In earlier times, we watched Top Gear for that undefinable chemistry between Jezza/the Hamster/Captain Slow. You guys take this chemistry to the next level! Love it! 😎
Bloody nice comment Jeroen. Super nice to hear.
I’ll stick with my ETA BBR - I much prefer the Rose over the Shield and still enjoy the ‘Smiley’ text. I’ve had it 8 years now, from new, never had it serviced and it’s still running at -2spd. I’d take one of the white GMT’s if they offered the Jubilee Bracelet as an option though - I think it looks fantastic but, I still can’t get on board with the fake rivet bracelets for some reason.
I love the format at 3:47 by showing the watch you're talking about in a big picture and a long sequence and you guys in the small picture. It's far too common that influencers wants to show themselves more than the b-roll / product. So thanks for that and I love the slower (longer videos) format! Keep it up!
🙌 that’s a marcus trick
@@AboutEffingTime Thanks Marcus!
@@ikonane I'm welcome.....er I mean YOURE welcome!!!!
YOU R WELCOME MARCUS. ANY TIME
I love Tudor watches and own a few and I agree with you on 2 great watches and 1 ‘lazy’ launch. To just change the dial colour on the gmt is so frustrating. You know they could have updated the case dimensions and size but chose not to on purpose and hold back that launch for another 1 year or so before they will actually do it.
I too is loving the new Blackbay 54 at 37mm as it is smaller from one Andrew to another 😊
Didnt expect to like the Opaline dial GMT. Tudor KILLED this year
Living the dream, guys! Gotta get that burgundy 41 on jubilee but my AD said it will be a while!
Hey, why do I like watching you guys so much? You guys got some good chemistry! Keep up the great videos.
Preciate ya
Just goes to show you have to see a watch in person. Thought the same thing about the 54; but once I visited the boutique it has much more presence.
I’m still getting the Opaline GMT first… I have a few >15mm watches - no issue. Love the red white and blue (should be brighter though).
Love the Cole Pennington handshake at the top of the vid 😂 classic moment 🤜🤛
You can't fake this shit hah
It is utterly amazing how you guys are able to put smiles on our faces. Cornucopia of empathy that you are, oh you... :)) Cheers from Basel
Great episode! So much energy and fun while still being watch geeky. Also a great freshening up of your format, length etc. Thanks!
We're trying new stuff Eric, thanks for noticing
The new Black Bay will be a Nato Magnet for me !! I have too many Natos and i want to throw all of them on it !!!!
“ I feel like there's a FLEX happening to my right! " - Andrew 😂😂😂
💪🏼 🍆
All of them. Glad to get George's stamp of approval!!
That was a fun episode to watch. What's cool is that with all the fun and jokes you guys still brought good info about the watches and most important what you feel about each new model.
Boom - thank you
The refined BB41 is my pick and the BB54 is great for someone with 6.5 inch wrist or small. Now everyone can get a BB and be Stylin’ & Profilin’ in a Tudor!
I’m picking up my BB54 on Saturday and am very pleased. I’ve tried it on my 6.5 inch wrist and love it. I’ve always worn 36-38mm watches. I prefer the understated utilitarian look. It’s special but doesn’t need to compensate with being large to draw attention and seem special. I like it in the same way I like a basic black or silver Porsche over an orange lambo.
Love how Andrew poshes up the Tudor pronunciation Tudooorrrr 😂
Strayaaa
Ditch the shield & embrace the rose. If they wanna do vintage they need to do it right.
Keep posting content, you've just made my Friday!
😘
This Tudor Black Bay 54 in blue (hopefully next year release for the anniversary in 2024) and my Tudor Ranger would be the perfect tandem. Both COSC certified and both with the T-Fit. Perfect tandem indeed.
Once Tudor puts the jubille bracelet on the 54 which will get rid of the fake rivets, adds a date and gets METAS certified...Im sold!
I don't think the 54 is too small, but I still prefer the 58 sizing and the gilt bezel with the red triangle. When they release the 58 with the T-Fit clasp, that's the one I'll get.
great episode!
For me the star is the bb 31……41 line, at long last they have rounded case sides which I love so much.
I am in for the 39 in blue.
Great video guys 😊😊😊
Great comment 👍🏻
That was a fun intro. How is it that Adrian picked the most exciting watch? I truly want to try the BB54 on, but I personally find the BB58 on the edge of what I like in a dive watch size, so I'm afraid I'm just not getting the 37mm love. Disclaimer: 7.25" wrist & 6'7" height. I do understand the love for it being thin though. I would say the Opalin BB GMT was (and that loosk great), but it's only a simple dial change. I wonder if we'll get a refreshed Black Bay 58 with a thinner side case profile next year. 🤔
“If I blindfolded you, and you felt this….” Classic spice.
🌶️
@@AboutEffingTime hey I think you have someone trying to scam your commenters with “prizes” if they pay the postage in advance.
Loved this video - Got me even more closer to getting my first Tudor
These unhinged episodes are the best
This video was more fun than the usual stuff.
Really fun one!
An unapologetic Tudor fanboy here! Loving the new releases this year but for me last years releases - especially the black bay pro where in my opinion more exciting.
If I didn’t already have a 58 then the 54 may have been tempting, but the 41 with the burgundy bezel is so cool. Just need to find one to try on, they’re rarer than rocking horse poop at the moment. Hopefully get a chance in the next month or so.
Such great content. The trio is getting better and better. I especially loved that Adrian was giving the group a hard time about being the only one to see the new Tudor factory.
🙄
I agree with Adrian. Already called my AD.
☎️
Taking the piss out of one another. Differentiates About Effin Time from every other watch channel. Great stuff.
Our motto
Is the casework steel a different colour and brushing that bracelet on the new BB58? Looks like it
You guys are awesome! Love watching! The black bay '54 is top drawer!
You are
IDK if this is a UK thing, but George should be in Guinness World Records for saying "for me" and "that for me" every 2 seconds. I started using it in my life now and I'm American.
So have we - CRYYYYYY - Andrew & Adrian
for me your amazing hahah
Loved this episode. Great camaraderie between the 3. Great watches as well with a tough choice. I’d side with Captain Boring. But which one……. Now there are 2! 😂😂
Great video guys. I have a feeling that when an updated BB58 is released, hopefully this year, it will be the talk of the town. Tudor basically did exactly what I was hoping for on the 58 but in a smaller size. So if Tudor does update the 58 with the goodie’s that we see on the 54 it’s really going to be hard to compete with Tudor. You’ll have a diver for everyone basically. And at a price point in the low $4K range, good luck competition. ..
Quite right. Strategic.
Since my father told me long ago, wishing is the only thing that’s free. So I say all three! If had to choose one. It would be the 54. It’s just near to Tudor perfection.
Great Episode boys loving the content i've only started going down the rabbit hole with watches and i'm proud to say that the new BB Burgandy is what i have on order. BTW how long before the watch winders are coming out would love to get one.
Loved the episode! I would have to try the watches on myself but I feel like the BB54 would be my choice. I wanna visit an AD soon, when the time is right the BB54 would probably be my first luxury watch purchase. With a 6.5 inch wrist I would love a small diver.
I 100% need that Captain Boring/Team Boring Member T-shirt!!! Would wear it loudly and proudly along with the Tudor BB54 I desperately want.
Dare to dream - t shirt coming soon, look out for it.
You guys are better and better each episode! Top class. For the Tudor, I ordered BB 54 and sold my Ranger, I went crazy with this new release. But regarding GMT, lazy update, at least they could have include T-fit in this release.
Have you tried the 58?
Brilliant show yet again guys! I’m with Adrian in choosing the new BB41 on the (don’t say) Jubilee bracelet. But if I didn’t own the 58 already, I’d be down at the AD asking for a 54 without delay. Add in the new BB 31-41 range and Tudor had another show-stopping year 💪🏻
Love my bb 41 burgundy. My 1st Swiss watch. Gonna get a whole Tudor collection
My next watch will be definitely Tudor.
P.s. great work lads - very entertaining episode 😀
Possibly overserved or overtired. Love the BB54 but bought a BB58 a month ago. Liking the Burgundy/claret on jubilee though !! 👌
I tried on the new BB54 this week. I have really skinny wrists at 17.5cm, so I assumed the 54 would be perfect for me, but I actually preferred the 58 on my wrist so I’ve bought the black dial on the bracelet.
For me I liked the fact the 58 looked more of a statement on my wrist compared the 54.
Loved the experience of wearing them all and buying my most expensive watch to date in my collection.
Adrian’s content has been a big part of my recently started watch collection journey, and now have Casioak all metal, Casioak clear case with the iridescent glass, Hamilton Khaki black ceramic, Hamilton Cooper aviator, Tag Carerera 39mm and now a BB58 (also go my eye on a Christopher Ward Saphire Dial)
Really loving having a modest watch collection that to me feels pretty varied 👍
Good man Golf Guy
Man Tudor is on such a roll. They're like the Porsche of watches at the moment. Who cares if there are 900 versions of the 911/Black Bay? They're all awesome!
Another cracking video...keep 'em coming please!!
Hi! Would you recommend the Tudor blackbay heritage (burgundy) or iwc mark xx ?
I really hope that Tudor releases an oyster-style Bombay model with alpha hands and cream dial with full Arabics and a date, a classy GADA watch that is slightly more sporty than the 1926 (think of a Tenzig Norgay Datejust re-issue but with tudors ruggedness)
Andrew.....that "54" looks FIRE on your wrist!!! I completely get the hype surrounding this model.
Thanks Tara, see you in therapy tonight!
I am with Adrian, 41 mm Blackbay for me, anything less than 40 mm is for ladies or small people/ men.....
I love the BB Burgundy. Rolls nicely from the tongue and gives you an edge on the wrist with that red bezel.
The Metas certification is the cherry on top. 😎🍷
Amazing content, joy to watch 😂
The BB54 for the win. I've requested one. Hopefully not a long wait
Thanks gents!!
I seem to have very similar watch choices to Adrian - have at least 3 of same watches and love the burgundy jubilee!!!!!
Oh and bonus for me - I could see myself in the background as you walked in to the Tudor stand on the Saturday of W&W’s.. saw you all working hard all weekend!! Keep up the great work 🙏👍
Say hi next time Ian
@@AboutEffingTime thanks chaps - I did in the end.. literally the end!! Adrian was dashing for his flight on the Sunday.. I grabbed a picture with George and Andrew and got a tick tick MF - about effing time note book!! Was great meeting you and seeing you guys thrive!! Cheers!!!!
I love the opaline GMT: wasn’t that fussed about it until I saw it in an AD’s window: it’s bloody gorgeous…and I instantly knew I had a problem..so I bought it & it’s my watch for Christmas this year. My wife already has the original black dial version & id been waiting for Tudor to do something else with it, beyond the root beer.
That was a tuff one Andrew….😂😂😂
The watch looks great on your wrist, Andrew. 🥳 Beautiful 54. Definitely get one.
Preciate!
now that i got the confirmation that METAS is coming to all blackbay product line, the moment that gets to blackbay 54 line, its over. im getting it. it will be my ultimate workhorse watch
I'm really happy to see Tudor going smaller and thinner with the BB54. I've owned the 41mm and 39mm BBs but always pined after a smaller diver. So good.
Any news from Tudor and their Harrods cooperation?
Will they continue with the BB heritage model (41mm) or will they move to the BB58 or to the BB54?
In my opinion I’d love to see and I’d definitely get, a Tudor Pelagos 39 Harrods edition (green bezel).
Class content right here! Really enjoyed the BB54, looks so nice (as per usual, getting rid of the faux rivets would make it even better, but looks great nonetheless)! I absolutely love the jubilee bracelet on a datejust, a day-date, maybe a GMT (although I'd rather have the oyster) but still unsure about the combination with the BB, maybe the perception changes with a blue or black bezel, but here looks a bit too busy to me.
I just love the white gmt… but I have yet to see them in the flesh…
I’d go for BB54. Definitely
Great Episode ❤
Thanks Mr B
My pick is the BB 54! Bring on the big old smaller sizes!
As soon as I saw that GMT with the opaline dial, I WANT one. The METAS Black Bay is cool as well! As for the 54? I rather the 58 because it has more character, but I guess I have to see the watch in person to figure that out, so for me the GMT is the real winner here
I Just got the new BB36 in blue on jubilee absolutely love it
🙌
I'm instantly drawn to the red bezel Black Bay 41 on the Jubilee bracelet, but it would be way too big for my 6.25" wrist. I can see me buying the 54 and having it as my every day wear watch.
This was great!!!
Thank you thank you
My pick goes to BB 58 and the GMT in second place
Imagine if they did the gmt with that jubilee and t clasp…. 😍
Yeah, surely I’ll go buy a vintage with the 20+ grand I don’t have. I love the 54, especially as someone with super tiny wrist
Gents give me a four sided coin! I’d be absolutely stoked with any of them!🤣🤤😍👍🏼
True this, even the GMT is actually pretty smoking if you have a decent wrist.
There are two watches from Tudor that I am highly interested in from their recent releases. A smaller size watch suits me better. Therefore, the BB54 and BB 36mm are the watches sparking my interest. The challenge for me will remain, do I desire to wait for a 36mm Rolex Explorer or purchase a BB54 / BB36? I could get both Tudors for the price of a new Explorer. Decisions, decisions...
great vid lads! and there's noooo way! Andrew doesn't dye his Beard!
I DONT DYE MY BEARD 💯
But Andrew. Why do you keep asking me to pick up man dye from the chemist.
The Black Bay 54 gets my vote!
I’d take the white dial GMT with the 5 link-bracelet of the new BB41. Btw., can you exchange the bracelets between the new 41 and the GMT? It’s a shame Tudor still sells the GMT only with the old BB-bracelets without a T-Fit clasp…
I think I am just stupid, but I can't find the AET watch winder on Wolfs or your website. Just in case ... maybe a link in the describtion?
It’s coming - we shot a little early - we’ll let you know
@@AboutEffingTime thats the spirit.
Another great episode, thanks team! You all looked tired as hell but when you love what you do, it matters little. Also, I feel like two seasons of your working together has been an ongoing therapy session for Andrew to come to terms with smaller watches not equating to a lack of masculinity 😊
Breakthroughs all round
Red bezel on the 54 would be killer.
