Kite and travel watch
Thought I would buy a 124060 to use as a kite and travel watch. However when I saw this year releases, I really liked the new BB Pro. Couldn’t resist when I tried it on yesterday at my AD.

I like the vintage look of the watch delivered in a modern way. I really like the bracelet (even the « faux » rivets!) and its microadjustable clasp that will allow easy adjustments to wear the watch over my different wetsuits.

I think it adds more diversity to my collection than a second Sub.

For your purpose the bracelet makes sense. 5 spots to fill in the box. What are you thinking might go there?

Actually only 3 spots to fill. My wife has a DJ36 and a YM… I’m done for a while but I would like to fill my spots with…

People make too much of the faux rivets. No one makes any comments over the color of the lume green vs blue, or PCL vs no PCL, or smooth vs fluted bezel on the DJ-simply style differences and the addition of the rivets does not take away from the functionality. Its a great watch and in my opinion nicer than anything Rolex has released in many years.

Tudor nails this and the Pro is a great example. Congrats & enjoy!

Love the watch, and seeing you using as intended! I windsurf for many years, always wearing my watch. Spend a week in Outer Banks (Avon) every spring since 1990.
