Man, that’s hot!! But it’s also such a mainstream look that it doesn’t keep with Tudor’s born to date philosophy, so I wonder if we’ll ever see it in production

nice watch...only slight hiccup is that the snowflake hand is a tad blocking the subdials...Rolex would not have overlooked this

The Black Bay in blue, red, or black - ETA or in house, the previous Black Bay chrono, the BB32/36/41, Pelagos are all pretty much main stream.

I know. That whole "dare" thing seems to stand in Tudor's own way. That is the really annoying part.

Then again, people asked for a black bezel on the first Black Bay and then it came out. And then people people complained about the watch being to big and they came out with the 58 (however with another stupid "twist" being the golden lettering on the black bezel. )

....So we may never see the AWESOME BB Chrono "red Panda", while there is a small chance that we will.

The problem for me personally is, that now after they released the TT, and that I now know how the "red Panda" could and would look like, I can't go back to the regular BB Chrono, which I really liked in the beginning.

A weird mind f**k: They came out with a watch I was just about ready to buy. Then they came out with a watch I would not buy but that, at the same time, showed me what I really wanted (the "red Panda"), so now the watch I originally wanted to buy does not satisfy my anymore.

Lets pray to the Gods of Tudor that they read/hear our opinions and wishes and bring us the "red Panda" in 2020.

Oh no, no, I fully believe this or a similar variant was thought of. The real question is how could they think to release what they did.

I can handle a retarded idea or design. The process of that over time will refine an idea or product. What kills me is when a retarded idea gets traction up the food chain and a bunch of people sign off on it - Think Pontiac Aztec.

Looks good too, even though I don't mind the snow flakes. By now they are iconic too.

Would have been potentially the hottest watch of the year. What a perfect combination.

This would be a way to redeem themselves.

Some changes:

1. No snowflake hands on a Chrono
2. No rivets
3. BB58 size and thickness

Then, we'll consider looking past BW2019

That’s what I want. I don’t know why it’s so hard for Tudor. I don’t want a P01, I want that.

WTH this makes me so bummed about Tudor's releases this year. OP's pics look SICK! It's almost like Tudor wants to have a sub-par design.

Sigh. Cool pics and nice work though!

Tudor needs to do this if they want to stay in business.....make it a collectible game like Rolex....When it's limited...and increase in value....it will attract flippers and flippers to play the game.

Going in the line as MinMay Tudor could very much add value to its brand by producing the watches we want. The issue though will be if Rolex lets them.
