Its aesthetics don't look appealing. The sub dials are to small, for the BIG SNOWFLAKE. Tudor should stick to classics like the Montecarlo, with in house movement.

Snowflake hand is a poor choice but then I don't like the skeletal hands on the SMP either. Overall looks pretty good there.

If only this new piece of junk was brought out a few years ago and your watch was tonight's leak. Then we could all say 'normal service has been resumed'.

I think this is where the Omega reference comes from. Frankly, Omega did it better.

Glad I'm not the only one not a fan. Saw this, and thought it was like a watch from the 80's, vintage but not in a good way.

Looks okay on the brown leather, but just seems like a such a mis-mash of styles and elements and something about it just makes it feel dated.

I like this, I wonder if the diameter is smaller. This would be KILLER at 38mm

The snowflake hand makes no sense. Think about this vs. a Speedy (because they'll both be around the same price prob.) No one would buy this.

I also thought of the '57 speedy when I saw it, but the speedy looks much, much better, imo.

It's not for me but maybe someone will enjoy it. Much rather have a heritage chrono with in house.

Anyone think they will drop the movement in the THC?

Yeah...if I was in the market for a chrono, this one would do it for me.

Passorama.

The clash of round plots and snowflake hand is a turnoff...as is the date at 6 o'clock.

Woof
