You suspect they’re hinting at releasing something the community actually wants? Hopefully, after all 2018 Tudor release did happen.

Same here. Look forward to Tudor’s new release more so than Rolex. They had a string of hits since 2010 but seem to have doubled down on their Black Bay line. Unfortunate because they have other model lines that could use some attention. Understandable because the BB line is their biggest money maker.

I sure like my wife’s Tudor S & G Chrono.

If its not one of the following patience probably wont have been a virtue:

BB58 no date GMT

BB GMT with working, reliable date wheel or no date

Big Block reissue

Sub reissue (snowflake)

Reworked Ranger or North Flag - both of which have untapped potential

Sadly they won't reissue a Tudor big block or small block, apparently Rolex discontinued them because they looked and were so similar to Rolex, they ate in to their big brothers sales. Oyster bracelets, big block cases, sapphire and similar dials. Much better IMO than many of the modern Rolex, Imagine if they released a Panda 79260 for under $5k?

Nothing sad about that as I would rather they revisit the “Home Plate” and “Monte Carlo” Tudor Heritage Chronograph line. It would be fitting as it is the 50th anniversary.


(From Tudor)

Hopefully they release updated versions with bezel options as were available originally.

Me personally find this Chronograph design infinitely more interesting than the Tudor Oysterdate/Prince Chronograph

I’m betting we see a new Monte Carlo with a new movement etc...

Could not agree more. Between a big block reissue or a Daytona I would take the big block and it’s not close. All tool, actually legible, no bling, and about 5k.
