    Sorry, I don't have anything witty to say about the expansion of the BB range, but I am wondering which movement they'll have used to get the 45 minute chrono register?

    think they missed the boat with this chrono it shouldn't have round indices and those hands,much prefer the old Big Block chrono

    It's in house and not modular, so that bodes well for the future. Don't like the design though :(

    That snow flake hand does not work.. surley you need a thin hand so as to not obscure so much of the sub dials?

    Yes, but Tudor is a fashion brand now. Function is low on the list of priorities.

    Don't understand why they had to use snowflake hands, it blocks the subdials. It's a real shame considering its on a brand new inhouse movement.

    Will be interesting to see how much hype HODINKEE give it. Positive spin because it's Tudor.

  16. #166
    Standby for an almost panda dial next year, then the PVD version. I think the loss of David Cerrato is leading to a lack of ideas and direction over at Tudor, which is a bit of a shame as I love my Blackbay. And that denim strap is flipping horrible.

    They whored up the Black Bay line in every way possible: bronze case, larger size, numeral dial, and now, a franken looking chronograph...

    Whatever the design, the innards gives some hope of interesting stuff going forward

    I actually like the Chrono on the strap and would prefer it to non ceramic Daytona

    Those guts could eventually end up in all of of Tudor's Chrono's, creating a kind of "reboot" of its chronograph models.

    That Tudor is utterly fugly, a total Omega rip off.

    While I don't like Omega per say, I would buy one everyday of the week instead of that thing.

    I don't mind the look of the Tudor chrono on the strap. Bit big though.

    Interesting that the new steel black bay with a date is still 41mm . I though it was going to be a steel version of the bronze. That must still be to come.

    Supposedly in house and integrated. Kudos for that. Dogshit for every other part of the watch.

    It's the chronograph for the person who doesn't use a chronograph at 3 or 9 o'clock.

    There's something going on with Tudor and it's not good. This BB looks a little better than the chrono though...

    I think this looks alright, but it feels like Tudor is moving back towards the sort of designs that failed for them last time around (thinking hydronaut era)

    Where are you guys tracking the new releases?

    Agreed btw, the new chrono looks godawful on the bracelet although I must admit it's less awful on the strap. Either way snowflake hands on a chrono are a terrible choice...

    New Oris Chronoris, I kinda like this one and the 39mm case means it will wear ok.

    That new Railmaster is weak. Very disappointing.

    I think that is the LE, at least two more versions are going to be released according to a post on the omega wus forum.

    One of the non-LE RMs has a lollipop hand and 2 stick (non-broad arrow) hands.

    The other non-LE has a silver/gray kind of vertical brushed dial (avail on NATO).

    I get companies making new watches that are a nod to the past, but I don't get them also thinking they have to make the watch look like it has "aged".

    2017 TAG Heuer Autavia

    Other than the hint of faux lume, to me this is an outstanding release.

    Nice Autavia - I like that, and better imo than Omega's efforts (so far).

    You can't track the minutes between the 5min intervals?

    Confused too: assume the right hand sub-dial is minutes, same as a Speedy. In that case, the markers between 0-5 are showing 2.5 mins and between 10-20 are showing at 7.5 minutes etc.

    Lovely, gives the Speedy Tuesday a good run for its money. Slight shame about the faux lume which seems to be becoming the new standard though.

    What is the case size? [EDIT] 42MM. Same as the Speedy but I suspect this might wear a little larger.

    What's also ridiculous is that when the prototype was given to a bunch of people to play with a few months ago, none of them reported it either. Will be interesting to see shots of the actual watches at the fair.
