tudor has the pelagos with a non rivet. but then the complaint is the watch is too light in weight.

there will always be a complaint which is just fine by me. everyone has an opinion and that is what makes us all different.

there are people who see tudor as junk. i mean we get a thread a week on a movement issue with the GMT but when the all mighty 3235 has issues people dont start abandoning their buying strategy on those models. i agree i would never want to buy a watch with a known movement issue but the standard is much different from many posters when it comes to tudor vs rolex. these posters dont value tudor as a brand. it is a shame but again we are all different. i see tudor as what rolex cannot be and perhaps that is why i appreciate them.

You mention “there will always be a complaint which is just fine by me” and then proceed on a rant complaining about others peoples complaints. So which is it, fine by you or you triggered by different strokes?

I like the watch. Wish the gilt dial had carried over. The dimensions of the BB58 line are absolutely fantastic.

Ah gotcha. Good analogy and makes sense that I’m not a huge faux-tina fan either

It’s a decent watch, maybe I’ll pick one up at some point on a nato...problem solved

I feel like you’ll get burned out of the black bay after a 3rd one.

Definitely. I like the variation of the blue and black. So the blue would have to go. But I also like the other differences between these two models (size, movement, bracelet) and am leaning toward passing on the new blue one and keeping the ETA.
