My Favorite Baselworld 2014 release??? (Tudor Wins again)

[Tudor Fan]

The more I look at it, the more I realize just how right they've got it.

The color of the bezel is just perfect. In many lighting situations it will look black but it isn't. And I like that the dial is NOT blue also. The snowflake hands on the round hour markers are also quite genius. The watch has an overall timeless Sub appearance but the hands immediately give it a distinct 'Tudor' recognition, that is all about understatement. And as I have a large wrist I love the size too, bigger than a Rolex Sub.

I love my burgundy BB with it's gold, gild and the chocolate dial. It is a stunningly beautiful warm combination. So sophisticated it is almost a dress watch. I don't see me parting with that one.

But the blue one - oh boy - I am very tempted.... The quintessential understated Submariner. Thank good I have six month to think about it, before it is available.

couldnt agree more. That blue makes for the perfect daily wear. Plus Tudor was smart enough to keep chamfer edges.

I can't decide which I like more, but do agree I wish they went with the square plots and a blue dial.

I had the maroon BB twice and sold them. kinda like this blue combi more. as usual hated the crown tube still. maybe it will be a keeper this time :)

I love this and think Im going to have to pick it up. The color of the silver and dark blue are phenomenal. The only thing besides being a little thick that bothers me about the black bays is the cheap feeling bezel action. Why in this day and age cant they do what they did 30 years ago with a nice bezel action?

In the beginning I thought the crown tube would bother me but it doesn't. On the arm (v. super magnified and lit photos) it is very subtle. The blue will be even more so.

The chamfers are great and the hight goes with the overall size and does not exceed the hight of a big block.

I do have to say that because of the hight it looks best on the steel bracelet with it's proper end-links. I wear mine on a lot of Natos but always go back to the bracelet after a few days.....

I mean look at that:

I found one more great picture (on the net) that illustrates that heritage aspect:
