Itβs a poor manβs sub but still superior in prestige than the omega seamaster

A community for watch & horology discussion.
I dno about that. I actually prefer this to the sub and find it much more charming.
Same.
Sure the Sub costs more but the BB is a different kind of diver. Vintage tool vs modern flash. Probably different buyers. But Iβd argue the Seamaster is more prestigious and luxurious than the BB.
Too thick and doesn't have a date complication.
Thick?? It's very slim for a diver. The 41 is thick tho. I prefer no date don't need it and cba setting the date lol
It's 11,9mm thick. That's not a lot!
Nice! My wife just gave me the same watch for our anniversary. It's such a great looking watch. From a purely aesthetic standpoint it's my favorite.
Woah what a generous gift from your wife! Gz on the anniversary π Mine too, it is just perfect for me. Love the vintage vibe. Next up is probably a chevron strap from crown and buckle. The OEM is rly nice, but it's like 250 euro lol
Thanks, it was our 9th anniversary and she's the best.
I agree with you, the vintage look it was drew me in but I'm keeping mine on steel. Most of my collection is field watches with NATO or leather straps so I need a little variety. I may get tempted to throw it on the Hudson from Threaded Leather just to see how it looks. I have the Supreme NATO from Crown & Buckle and it's a great strap; I don't think you'll be disappointed with the chevron.
Unpopular Opinion: The BB looks better than the Submariner. Red bezel on Jubilee and the Harrodβs are just sublime!
I totally agree. I wouldn't even want the sub tbh. But the opaline gmt in 39 would be pretty nice
I also like the look of the large crown without the guards.
Dogshit opinion. Thick and chunky, ugly ass hands. Why do you even need to constantly compare it to Rolex anyway? Every goddamn Tudor post is this self delusion like you're trying to convince yourself
Chillax my guy. The new BB is less chunky but fair enough. And why Rolex? Because itβs THE standard for divers. Simple as that. Also letβs be real, some people see Tudor as the poor manβs Rolex which doesnβt do Tudor justice. But regarding your last sentence, you are unfortunately not wrong.
Imagine getting this bent out of shape about a comp between Rolex and Tudor, as if that's a weird thing to happen. Are you a Rolex owner that wants all Tudor owners to know that they're not as good as you, or are you so insecure you feel the need to pipe up with your own dogshit opinion when you don't even have a horse in the race? Either way you don't need to go out of your way to be a douchebag
it really has become what the sub once was
We could maybe have this discussion if they had kept the old rose logo (which was one of the all time greats) but the shield just looks like this face :D
This is indeed a very unique angle. Thanks for the photo
Best looking watch of the past 25 years imo.
