Why no love for the BB58 clasp? I find it to be great

The inner bar is too long, the micro adjustment might as well be non existent and requires a tool of some sort to adjust, no half link, and the quality just isn’t there for a $4K watch. If you used Rolex, Omega, or Breitling clasps then the Tudor is just a let down.

But the Tudor is less than half the price of a rolex so I expect the disparity.

Other watchmakers in the same price point and even less have better clasps. Even Tudor has a better clasp (Pelagos). I’ve seen better clasps on $1K watches. Being half the price of Rolex has nothing to do with it, and I’m not sure why Rolex is the only thing that everyone seems to compare a Tudor to like everyone with one wants to think they have a Rolex on their arm.

The clasp blows and that’s about all there is to it.

This is a win for Tudor. I think they nailed it. Can’t wait to see these in person.

I like the chrono in its appearance, but still a thick thick case.
Sterling Silver BB58... I didn't see that coming. I'm not sure if there is any advantage to having 'silver' as a material other than it being a precious metal at a more cost affordable price than white gold.
The BB58 solid gold...on a leather strap or cloth strap it doesn't really do it for me. If I was in the market for yellow gold, I'd want a Rolex.
Anyway, all options and a little more interesting than Rolex's releases this year.

I’m a huge fan of the two 58s...but the explorer re-emerging in 36mm is likely to be a real crowd-pleaser. The rest of Rolex was decidedly meh to me.

I am a buyer for the two Chronographs and possibly the Gold BB 58 once I see it in person.

I want to like that white dial BB Chrono so bad but to me it just looks off, the markers just appear to blend into the dial too much, hopefully some better images come out.

The black dial one looks amazing.

Silver, not bad either,
Panda Chrono cool!

Tudor had a better release, Rolex not bad, but more on subtle side as expected.
