It's an extremely unattractive watch. The case looks cheap and the blacked out dial with loud markers is garish. Clearly Rolex wanted to get into the ceramic watch game with a cheap and "youthful" watch - too bad it's just ugly.

The new blue THC is stunning. Tudor really have captured that vintage feel with this one. Just a pity they didnt put a date bubble on it.

All in all I like what Tudor is doing these days and glad to see their return to US sales. I agree with others that some models do nothing for me but others I really admire. I think that Black Shield really shines with the leather strap with red stitching but I could not see myself wearing something that bold.

Not impress with Tudor this year. I think they did a better job with their diver watch last year!

I must say that they hit me right in the center with blue Heritage Chrono!
Awesome, simply awesome, and my personal favorite among Heritage models.

I don`t like PVD watches, so new Fastrider does n`t work for me, but nonetheless I think that it`s very beautiful and well done watch.

Another good year for Tudor, although I think that last year`s Black Bay and Pelagos could easily outshone this year`s offerings.
