Can't see them doing yet another BB variation, perhaps it'll be a variation from one of the other newer watches they make? I'd really like to see a new Tudor chrono on the Pelagos style.

They should focus on making their cases a bit thinner. They are far too thick for me.

My AD here in Sydney knows nothing. North America only release? That would be a bummer...

Overall, they're not really any thicker than their Rolex counterparts, it's just that the convex caseback of the Rolex allows for a thinner mid-case that sits with a gap between the mid-case and the wrist. It looks thicker, without the illusion given by a convex caseback, but I prefer the Tudors' flat caseback for comfort on the wrist.

This. IMO the Rolex cases are a bit goofy when compared to others, especially like the ceramic Seadweller. It's like the whole thing is balanced on a wobbly ball.

I picked up an ETA Black Bay because, as stated, the flat case back makes them a joy to wear and I've yet to be able to find a new model at retail to try on. The nearest Tudor AD said they can't get any of the new ones in until they burn through their (extensive) stock of previous gen.

I too agree with Adam and the flat case backs. They just wear better. And are way more comfortable to me. I don't think that the cases are any thicker.

And your AD should go right thru those ETA BB's once they are a little more scarce.

I am liking that black shield. Anyone know what the cost is for one? Or if any TS are selling them and for what price point? I wouldn't mind picking one up to wear for work. Very stealthy watch!

Yes sir. As good of a TS as they come. $3600 is a fair deal too.

I don't know of any new ones off the top. Not sure if my AD has one or not. But MSRP on this piece is $4950 if I remember right. Think one would be lucky to get to the low $4000's. Colts game is always a good time. We will be down at Lucas Oil Saturday for a cheerleading competition.

I'm hoping from the clues on their Instagram, bragging on their dive watch heritage, that they're releasing something in the 39-40mm size. Maybe something similar to the original Tudor Submariner. My first "Good" watch was a Blue Snowflake Submariner, Like the one in my profile pic, about 30 years ago. I wish I had never sold it. I don't think it will actually be called "Submariner" because Parent Company Rolex probably wouldn't allow it. But those original proportions, to me, are WAY better than the newer Ceramic Subs.

A quick search shows the 94010 as a prominent diver in the company's past. Can anyone else think of other left crowners which have any historical significance for the company?

That's gorgeous. Need one.

Don't want a Destro model though.

As I said before, this style dial, in 39-40mm? I would be STUPID Happy. Especially if it's all blue.
