    What would open my wallet would be a refresh if the Ranger to something resembling the 7966 date as below enabled by the BB58 movement.

    I would love a GMT in the 58 case but can’t see it for a couple of years. Interested to see what they bring out.

    As others have said, I'd love a 58 GMT or maybe an update to the 36.

    A (red writing) Ranger II, and some sports models without snow flake hands would see some of my cash.
    It's just a matter of time...

    A date complication for the BB 36. The blue dial is lovely.

    Would love to see the GMT with a silver or white dial, sort of a Pan Am with snowflake hands!

    Can't see them doing anything with the gmt or 58 line. They're only a year old, plenty of life before needing a revamp.

    Pelagos update (gmt?) and/or heritage Chrono update.

    It would be great to see a smaller version of the Pelagos one day.

    Agreed. Same for the BB36/41.

    I think this is possible as well... a slight design tweak perhaps, and the use of the Brietling/Tudor integrated chronograph rather than the current ETA modular one.

    A 36mm Ranger would be great.

    Oh man I hope this happens.
    Blue & black bezel to coincide with Rolex BLNR discontinuation maybe?

    If they produce a 39mm version of the gmt already I’ll eat my hat.

    I can’t see a smaller Pelagos either, that’s the professional level tool divers watch of the line up and I really can’t see that being shrunk down for the desk divers.

    In reality it’ll just be different colours for the BB58.

    I said it before but (this would cover the “shrink the Pelagos brigade”) what they need to do is produce a 40mm snowflake Submariner. I’d be selling my Pelagos for that!

    I really hope they bring back the Tudor sub!

    Where would that fit into their current lineup though?

    Maybe it would fit very nicely in a Non-Heritage range :)

    Check this video out (at 14 seconds).

    Does this mean the Submariner classic case will make a return, huh?

    I’m sure people will be happy if that variant does and I’m sure it will now with the inclusion in the video but it’s a shame it’s the merc hand version IMO.

    Guess I’ll be waiting til 2020 for the snowflake sub. I’m surprised they didn’t go with the snowflake though given it’s huge value increase in the last couple of years. The merc hand sub is a bit more low key and less valuable, you’d think they’d be all over a snowflake version cash cow.

  29. #79
    The snowflake is a vintage/heritage look. Tudor need to look to the future, with some elements of DNA from the past.

    Personally, I have enough snowflake hand Tudors to last me. So I'm very much looking forward to straight or Mercedes hand dive models!

    That particular sub isn’t looking to the future, it’s still an old model they’d be reproducing. It’s purely a selfish choice that I’d prefer the snowflake. Merc hands are Rolex and I don’t particularly like the dial markers. Like them or loathe them snowflake details are very much Tudor, if I wanted a merc handed Rolex copy there’s a million and one to choose from.

    Best bit about Tudor is they produce watches which don’t look too much to the future. Rolex are the ones that do that, I don’t aspire to own any modern Rolex and it’d be a sad day for me if Tudor decided to look to the future too much.

    Either way it’s still an interesting watch and it’s great lovers of that model will get to buy one at decent money.

    I just love the blue snowflake and to be able to buy one at circa £2500 would be so good. The vintage ones are wildly out of control.

    If my memory serves correctly Tudor have posted pictures of this prototype sub before. I can't find the original link now, but a quick google search links to the following reddit page:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/com...dor_prototype/

    I would be surprised if Tudor do a close re-release. My guess would be adding colour options to the BB58.

    Red bezel BB58 with a date perhaps - without the cyclops because that’s very much a Rolex design signature now.

    The Tudor designer mentioned something special was coming this year...

    in a video I watched before about 2018 releases, he said at the end that his favourite was coming in 2019! Perhaps it's a sub? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjcEVJvYg_8

    Instagram post from Tudor this morning (see what they wrote below pic), I’m still hopeful...

    Note the #snowflake50

    #snowflake50 would seem to indicate that whatever is coming will feature snowflake hands (no mercedes).

    Indeed. I just hope it’s the dial and hands and they’re making a snowflake sub.

    I’d be happy with a blue BB58 but it may be too early for that

    I like the look of these Tudors a lot! I hope they keep the case thickness around 11mm and some sort of microadjust on the bracelet and it will be a winner for sure.

    Maybe some kind of BB 'limited or 'special' with another variation of dial/insert. Maybe another date model? Hopefully with the under bevels on the mid-case as per the GMT - this makes quite a difference in look and (subjectively) feel.

    Genius

    Thinner cases and micro adjustment would be great. They have a lot of potential in their back catalogue, but I do think they need another current diver watch, rather than heritage, alongside their Pelagos. Otherwise it's a little like the Moon Watch. That said, Omega seem to be milking and benefiting from that marketing extravaganza quite well.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Can't help thinking that a sub would be too close in design to the BB58, especially as it was only released last year. Possibly we'll see a BB58 with different colours and/or square markers. That said, I bought a 58, so a sub is probably on its way.

    I think that they have made a rod for their own back, with the BB getting (and keeping) round indices, and the Pelagos keeping the square indices.
    Perhaps there will be a mini Pelagos (ie smaller than the current model but modern). But I cannot see them issuing retro (ie BB range) sub with square indices, it will blur their model lines too much.
    But a Pelagos 58 would still be great.

    It could be pure 80’s sub case and that wouldn’t be like a BB58 really. I think Tudor would clear up if they produced a crown guard, 40mm sub case again.

    No reason why Tudor couldn't do a true limited edition though.

    BB58 in another colour, a smaller pelagos would be awesome
