Rolex made the 16570 at 12mm over 20yrs ago…seems like Tudor could do similar.

Nobody buying a Tudor is not going to not want a Rolex later.

For example you can't tell me it costs more to make a non-rivet bracelet than a rivet one, yet they took away the non-rivet bracelet for almost all their models. Or make a pelagos in SS rather titanium.

Even cheaper brands can do thinner movements and Tudor proven they can with the bb58 which costs the same.
Thank you, fully agree on those two points.
- Tudor can make a great fully milled bracelet on par with rolex, just look at Pelagos.
- Titanium is marketed as being superior but we all know it's not. It lacks luster and it is relatively soft.

They're deliberate decisions to move the brand down-market.
