Yeah but then you have to wind and set it with your left hand which I would find annoying I think

Either way I don't see it being a destro watch. Seems like a very small niche play and not Rolex like.

It's so incredibly more comfortable, and I literally have never once wanted to operate the crown when a watch is on my wrist. It's very strange that the "standard" watch configuration is so much worse for the vast majority of wearers.

It's not that strange. Winding and setting a watch when off the wrist is easier with the crown on the right hand side for right-handed users. It is for me anyway...I just tried it.

This kind of hype, suspense, and marketing.

This better be a new watch or a BB that will knock our collective socks off.

I think it's all familiarity, since I'm better winding with my right hand despite being nominally left handed. The only time it's somewhat difficult is when my Daytona's pushers are screwed down too tight. Then, it can be hard to break them.

I've heard that the crown to fist orientation is due to the large crown hand crankers of old, being regularly wound while on the wrist

I always tend to get all wrapped up in the new releases Tudor does because their value is excellent IMHO. The last one (BB Bronze) I passed on initially as my AD has a VIP that is local and he assured me he could get me another one when I wanted one. I have bought a red BB and a THC blue since then. Not really felt the need to scratch the bronze itch as of yet, but I did just sell my other bronze diver. I did pick up the black BB ETA after some time as I was afraid they would dry up. And they have.

Thought I would need a blue Pelagos but the dial text had had me content with my 2 line ETA.

I am not sure about how I would feel about an another solid color dial/bezel combo. No matter what it was, if the dictionary remained.

lots of eagle-eye fans here pointed out the square in the teaser matches the square on the Pelagos page. I think this calls for a photoshop. Here, done by yours truly:

I mean, interesting but I definitely don't need it if thats the case.

I've never had that problem. Are you wearing the watch slightly snug and above (the elbow side) the wrist bone?

Yowza! Try matching that to an outfit

Care to do a black Pelagos with burgundy bezel insert a la BB red?

[sholzer]

I like the coke bezel gmt pelagos idea

[Romeojk]

A Pelagos black dial with some red lettering and made for us southpaws (although I'm not sure if I am even interested in the crown there). What did I win?

Snug, yes. And above the wrist bone, yes. My wrist is of average size but very flat. This has never been a big problem for me. But I do notice it certain days with certain pieces more than others. Used to really notice it with my bronze diver as it would leave a little green spot when I wore it.

This is how I wear my watches.

Sure! Why not?

Very Black-Bay-esque.

[illusionest]

but, let's face it, this is what we REALLY want (hear that, Rolex, Tudor?).





.....and everyone on the forums be like:



p.s. its HIGHLY unlikely this would ever happen obviously. It would step on batman GMT's toes.

Do that red/blue and they wouldn't be able to make them fast enough!
