True - I got carried away

This will be on my list, if it’s a decent size not over 40mm, and not thick like a hockey puck. Still hoping for BB Gmt around 38 would be the perfect scenario.

My instinct tells me this is a Tudor Milsub, along with mil hands hands that are neither mercedes or snowflake style. The crystal distortion of the rehaut looks very similar to a Milsub as well. That's the new take Tudor is referring to perhaps

A sword handed 79190 remake would be...

The picture seems to indicate the lack of a cyclops. I would think you would see a small reflection in the top of the dome. Too bad, really.

It could be a no date.

Considering how hard Tudor tried to differentiate the bracelets on many Tudors from Rolex with the rivet style, I don't think the cyclops is coming. Would be cool though

If you look at Tudor's other teaser of the safe, you will see the dial on the safe set to "53"

If you look at the triangle, it’s just as tall as the rehaut. If you look at your Sub, the triangle is much taller than the rehaut. This teaser in the shadows could be something as big as DSSD and very likely on snowflake but maybe lower depth rating.

Whoa, that would kill. I’d also go for a 3-6-9 dial. The only one they make is the BB Bronze, which is quite large at 43mm... they are pretty hot on the vintage market right now, as well.

If they did it right at 40-41mm and 12-12.5mm thick and with sword hands...hell I'd sell the sub

Perhaps add a 3, 6, 9 as Jon mentions above and since Tudor hides those markers in the teaser and that gets a you a 3-6-9 Tudor Milsub...

I'd buy for sure, especially if on a nato

I hope not. A shrunken Sub? The trend is to go bigger, not smaller.

OTOH I think it would be great if they brought back the mini-sub! (for wifey)

Duuuuuude, I would sell my soul for that. Actually, that’s gone already. I would sell my kid for that.

So I have a good idea this is the inspiration (Tudor 7923 and perhaps the one of a kind BB One) for the new Tudor Submariner. Check out the rehaut, crystal, and hands.

This is the myth they reference...I now wonder if a 3-6-9 dial is the new twist.

But one thing for sure is the safe dial is set to "53" aka the year of the first Rolex Sub.

Perhaps better shows the crystal similarities here and the NATO may make it look close to what Tudor could release

I consider the BB58 a heritage style piece....I think this would be a hybrid or modern piece with full modern Submariner water resistance and perhaps 3-6-9 dial and Pelagos clasp. Crown guards potentially as well since this release I think will be a modern tool release. Lastly, stick hands or MilSub hands would be my best guess and price premium over the BB58

Hands be damned w/o crown guards IMO still closer to BB58 then a Tudor Sub...Keeping fingers crossed.

Yes, I'm surely hoping for crown guards as well and a true Submariner more along the Pelagos modern line than the BB heritage/homage line. Fingers crossed

I realize this is a stretch, and my Photoshop Kung Fu is not strong like the south sea, but the image attached is a crop and levels only hack on the IG image (screen grab). If you look in the red circle, the blacked out part seems to disagree with highlights around it. Again, I know this is weak, but it seems like that has been manipulated to hide something...maybe a cyclops!!!!

Yes this was confirmed on another thread- there are areas of the watch which have been purposely blacked out with black squares in photoshop. Obviously trying to hide something, I think most likely an attempt to not answer the question of snowflake or Mercedes hour hands...

Yes they know what we are like and there is an awful lot of detail in the shadows

I doubt it will be a cyclops

But I reckon it’s probablg Mercedes hands

As much as I’d love a Tudor snowflake sub - i think this is a move away from the black bay line which is traditionally snowflake

This will be a Mercedes hand sub. I’m sure they will use the no date in house movement from the 58

Very well could be a cyclops. I'd be inclined to think 3-6-9 dial more than cyclops because of the Rolex signature design feature nowadays. Going to get good at Basel this year

Hopefully the Idiots don’t ruin it with Round lume plots on the Dial and Snowflake Hands...Whoever thought that was a good Idea needs help.
