Nice watch.

So Tudor makes rivet bracelets because Rolex used to? OK... that doesn't change my opinion. Rolex stopped making them...

The Rolex bracelet actually had functioning rivets on their bracelets. The Tudor knock-offs are simply cosmetic. It would be nice if Tudor actually tried to stand on its own two feet independent of Rolex. But I suspect they will keep making cheap copies of old Rolex watches, and Tudor owners will keep telling everybody willing to listen, “it’s a Rolex”.

Sorry to keep posting this non-Tudor, non-Rolex but I think it perfectly illustrates just how far off the B.B. design elements are...

Zero photoshop or image tuning btw. Straight off an iPhone 8 camera. No filters, absolutely nothing.

Well... not quite.

It’s big (39mm) and if you’ve ever seen the original at 36 it appears tiny.

-no cyclops as you point out
-domed crystal vs proud flat
-sub bezel assembly vs flatter GMT (carryover from Kingston)
-aluminum insert vs Bakelite (or modern equivalent like acrylic or sapphire)
-slightly chunkier crown
-gilt hands and gilt dial (although mine pictured is a custom with silver hands)
-notched end links vs the older no-notch
-24 hr hand arrow is bigger
