I agree.....Tudor definitely knocked it out of the park with this one! I've never been so excited, or have wanted a specific model of Tudor more than this Pro. The 925 was exciting for me when they released it, but this one I really want! Especially for the price, it's a lotta watch for the money. Looks good on ya and great to see you're fully enjoying that beauty!

GW44 · 14 August 2022, 03:18 AM

Love mine too, great little watch.

A lot of nonsense spoken about how “it’s too thick”, which it is not, as it’s beautiful on the wrist.

PBJ1925 · 14 August 2022, 03:57 AM

Looks great. Love the value prop on these.

AF_Rob · 14 August 2022, 03:58 AM

Such a great watch! Love the vintage design elements Tudor puts in their pieces.

Cracking watch and looks great on you. I love mine too. I agree, Tudor knocked it out the park with this (and the ranger which I have just picked up!)

stevestil · 14 August 2022, 10:31 PM

thank you all!

a great watch for the money and the thickness is definitely nowhere near as much of an issue as some others have made it out to be. i don’t even notice it when it’s on and to be honest quite like the added weight

Very nice.

Rocky Hockey · 14 August 2022, 10:55 PM

My BB Pro experience has been quite the same. Such a handsome watch. The perfect travel watch - GMT function, 200m resistance, brushed case and under the radar good looks.

I used to wear my 116710LN on the job and travel with my well-worn 16570. This BB Pro has been a one stop solution since it’s acquisition. I know Tudor is not Rolex but this one punches well above its weight class. Never have I been as excited about a new release.

I work hard for my money and this BB Pro acknowledges that and wants to do the same.

To all the BB Pro owners out there - Enjoy!!

Looks amazing. Waiting until they release one with Polar Dial.

Good looking watch.

NachoNeal · 15 August 2022, 12:13 AM

Awesome watch.

Solo118 · 15 August 2022, 12:20 AM

The BB Pro is such an amazing watch, beautiful vintage vibes and a size that anybody can wear. I also absolutely love the Rolex inspired clasp. I just do not love the rivets on the bracelet.

Reikolexguy · 15 August 2022, 12:44 AM

Indeed. The BB PRO is one of the best value propositions in the industry.

Lu.. · 15 August 2022, 04:49 PM

I love mine....to mirror comments in here, the thickness concerns are really overblown....have taken it with me whenever I travel....

doogan · 15 August 2022, 05:23 PM

I think this looks great. Keen to try one on to test the thickness out.

BiG JeEzY · 15 August 2022, 05:30 PM

What doesn't get mentioned enough about this watch which I really love is how Tudor did not use any white gold on the hands. The hands are completely white and orange which makes them stand out beautifully against the black dial. It gives a perfect contrast and makes it easily legible.

Compared to the black dial Explorer II which uses white gold on the hands surrounding the lume material. While it looks nice, the hands sometimes blend into the dial rather than stand out against it. Especially the second hand where the lume is only the dot. Sometimes its hard to see the second hand under certain lighting. On the Tudor, the second hand is immediately distinguishable.

thecrownprince · 15 August 2022, 05:39 PM

As much as I want to love this watch it’s just too thick for me. But I do appreciate where Tudor is going with this.

Guys I'm jealous... Still waiting for the call and it's getting long on the tooth.

The only minus point with the watch is this. It's not about thickness. Let's say you traveling from home to another time zone. You can quickly set to local time with the jumping hour setting, but then, how do you keep track of home time with a non-rotating bezel? On my GMT I always set the GMT hand to UTC+0 and rotate the bezel as needed for the 2nd timezone. Thought?

I do wish it was a bit thinner but as others have said it's not that big of a deal and it's a great watch honestly, especially for the price.

Driver8 · 16 August 2022, 12:04 AM

I've only tried one on (so I don't own one myself), but I have to say I think it's the best modern Tudor out there. Personally I didn't find it too thick at all, and the new clasp is fantastic. I absolutely love it.

The GMT should always be set to your home time. That way you jump the hour hand to your local destination. The bezel is really there to track a third time zone.
