Doesn’t suit me, unfortunately. I think the CHNR is an entirely different animal.
However, it seems to more closely resemble the vintage Rolex rootbeer in terms of color.

I really like it - great combination with the colours and the yellow gold.
Awesome value for the money.

I like it. I prefer the brushed centre links it has more than the PCL’s on my 126711.

For some strange reason the bracelet looks cheap. Not a fan of these piece.

Fake rivets, capped gold links and really just another Rolex copy as they try to cash in on hard to obtain Rolex pieces. Hard No for me.

I'm a fan, but it still has the same problem as the BB Chrono S&G that I had my eye on a few years back: both have gold capped bracelets instead of solid gold. I get why Tudor does it, but regardless is a downside imo.

I would pass, it might be more attractive if the dial is brown.

Kind of dig it, though the fake rivets continue to be quite unnecessary.

Tudor going into the Rolex back-catalog and producing pieces that are attainable, relatively affordable, and have the vintage look is a big win for them.

How do you know what kind of gold this is. Plated, solid, spray paint?

The crown is capped gold, not solid gold.

Yea Alexander on watchadvisor just did a hands on today. He’s very thorough on his review.

Gold weight wise not a big difference but I do not like capped crowns. Had a capped crown watch before and the cap popped right off. Imagine that.

Not a fan of the new Tudor Rootbeer; it's just okay I will say that I really like my Tudor GMT.

You know I thinks okay. It makes sense why they made. They have a BB gmt and a bb two tone. Plus it’s a take on the vintage root beer. I wouldn’t wear it personally but it’s not bad.

I like it on the nato strap but I find Tudor’s two-tone bracelet centre links too yellow, too matt and evidently insubstantial (as very helpfully shown in the photo of the capped centre link in the thread above).

I do understand that this approach keeps the price point in check but if Tudor’s desire is to move upmarket I would have preferred solid brushed gold centre links using the (subtle but substantial, in my opinion) brushed gold from the 18ct BB58 Green case. This would have given a very obvious step up from the stainless steel GMT.

Equally, all BB41s really ought to be getting the T-fit clasp although once again, keeping the price point in check appears to be high on Tudor’s agenda.

It's crazy how much better it looks on the strap, at least to my eye.
