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 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.

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.

Silver, not bad either,
Panda Chrono cool!

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

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.

Tudor is slowly winning the hearts of everyone, forging their own identity and long-term play.

I'm glad I let go of the old BB58, it will be cake to get these now.

What's the point of the silver and gold Blackbay 58's when they both don't come on a bracelet... Lame.
