Those hands do a great job at blocking the subdials.

I agree. The snowflake hand is out of place.

It's not to my taste

Doesn't matter because the snowflake hour hand probably blocks that too.

It is on Hodinkee.

Those hands are a joke on the Sub dial.

If I wanted an Omega I would buy one, not a Tudor rip off.

It's like the Sub and Daytona had a child, but with the Speedmaster as a potential parent.

Riveted bracelet is kinda cool.

Here from Hodinkee:



And here from Tudors instagram:



I've perceived no love for it so far.

Is it 40mm? I hope so.

Black bay chrono...
So is it a diving watch or a chrono?
Black bay is the divers line.
This has a tachymeter...

Bunch of left over parts from previous Black Bay runs, mix em up in a bowl, and you get that.

Yikes. Let's wait to see what else comes out of the Geneva factories. C

I don't have much interest in chronographs so I'd probably never buy one. But I don't think it looks bad at all.

Disagree guys. I think this is a homerun. Want to see more of the metal bracelet detail but I for one love it.

Is that why it's called 'Big Block'?

One last thought on this. I am so used to seeing those hands on my BB, with a second hand that also has a (what do I call this?) lume indicator, can't get used to the tach indicator hand on this watch.
