The Black day is a vintage style but the Pelagos is a DSSD alternative option.

I really like the new titanium case and bracelet with ceramic bezel and luminescence, that's probably why Tudor is coming back with a big 1-2 punch to the luxury brother Rolex.

I've added a Poll to make this thread more interesting.

I personally think 7 is fantastic.

The black Bay has some really nice elements to it but I wish the crown was a bit fatter. Will have to see some real life pics but still its quite interesting to see. Coming completely out of left field.

Tudor models really impressed me.

Have yet to own a Tudor although I've come close, but ater seeing the new ones I know I will be getting the Black Diver.

The new smooth bezel SS DJ II is a 9.

When the white roman dial arrives it will be a 10.

The funny thing is the Tudor Heritage "Black Bay" isn't even black

as of right now, the one that pulls hardest is the DJII smooth bezel, though i wouldn't probably get one due to fears of the scratches on the bezel.

#6 is really very nice....not sure if it's "for me", but, it is pretty.
