ha ha .... a kid sounding voice trying to be hip and presenting technical information. I just cannot connect. I also wonder if the age profile they think they are targeting really bothers with the technical stuff.

I tucked into some avocado toast while wearing my favorite onesie. It's a great commercial.

The French would spell it diamètre, with a grave accent over the first e.

I'm on a waiting list for an FPJ Chronomètre Bleu and if it ever comes through I'll pronounce it properly and and spell it like that. But I'm not going to say a Tudor chrono has a 41mm diamètre case, because that would be silly.
OK, but it's not a typo. For whatever reason Tudor marketers chose to spell it that way.

Rolex adds in the 50s were about going diving, hiking, discovering the world... It had presence and was challenging the audience to actually "dare". Without litterally using the word, the same one that Tudor forces to their adds today.

Tudor video says to this new generation of self-entitled hipsters to keep on consuming and jump in a plane. Or to vlog. Or to show it on instagram. And to play to be someone important without having achieved anything substantial.

Yes grumpy and yes "it was better before". It just is!

But this is our world today....

100% agree, turns me off to the whole brand. I miss the old Rolex packaging, it was showing you the adventures you could have with your new watch, now it’s just so boring and bland. I just bought a new sub, there are no pictures of diving anywhere on the booklets, it’s a diver watch!
