Not sure why you view that as anything negative I was basing that on the fact Tudor chose Jay Chou as the ambassador and called him the king of Asian pop in their Instagram post. They have also mentioned in the past the more dressy lines sell much better in the markets in Asia.

It goes back to the insinuation that Asia = bad taste (which this definitely falls under). Similar to me as an Asian saying this looks like something for Republicans with mullets.

I didn’t take your comment as negative since Tudor is clearly targeting the Asian market. Nothing wrong with that, and one can recognize the marketing focus while liking or disliking the watch itself.

For instance, look at the way that Omega is marketing the Railmaster. Is it pure coincidence that the chosen model for the watch happens to be a young millennial?

Marketing is highly scripted; nothing is accidental.

I think my comment about the watches intended market probably got conflated with all the other negative comments about the watch

I was just pointing out it the intended market and not making any judgement on the watch’s particular style.

This

The Asian and North American markets are probably their largest export markets, entirely feasible for products to be designed for each. The forum members seem to be mostly NA, thus the overwhelming negative comments on the aesthetics.

Should the watch be 44mm, raw steel, and Bruce Springsteen was the introduction ambassador, it would targeted marketing ........................

Have to agree with this!

But here’s the inside scoop!

Head of sales N America: well sir we are doing well on most models but our dealers are demanding more SS Daytonas and Skydwellers for their customers.

DuFour: wait what? they are demanding!! The next dealer that demands anything- make them buy 100k of those new cases and mirrors we just designed and if they complain again then pull their line damnit!

Exec #1: but sir, we....

DuFour: you shut up!!! who the hell drank my scotch?

Head of Sales:sir, now might not be the best time to mention it but we have 28,500 units of the green Submariner in our inventory

Exec #2: actually there another 10,000 units as well in our other facility

DuFour: WHAT!! Why are we selling some many subs with the black and blue bezel and we cant give away the green?

long pause......

Young exec: Mr DuFour, we don't have a submariner with a black and blue bezel. I think you are you referring to the GMT Master II one of which have a black and blue bezel, we call it the BLNR. its sales have been excellent!

Exec #2 Whispers- tell Nancy to bring in the scotch quick...

Head of Sales: sir, he mis-spoke but in regards to the green submariner we should....

DuFour: SILENCE!!!! Heres what we're doing! float a rumor that we are dropping that ugly green sub AND also float one that we are jacking up all the prices again on ALL units! Those morons in North America will be crawling in the dealers begging for that thing in 6 months. Also, stop supplying them with all the cheap stuff until we get rid of all the old stuff! that means no subs, no GRTs, that boat watch, all of em AND, AND, IF one more Daytona or Skydweller leaves this building, not one of you will see an 8 figure bonus, I swear it!!

Exec #2- whispers- brilliance, absolute brilliance

Exec #3- but sir in all do respect, our dealers have obligations to our customers and this cutback could have negative effects and.....

DuFour: YOURE FIRED! Shut up and get out!!!! they are lucky to even be allowed to sell our pieces. They will get what we say they will get!!!!

Head of Sales NA: Gentlemen, we have a job to do! Ill call the wearhouse and stop the current shipments and notify them of changes. Ill take care of the rumors, Ill start with that Rolex Forum and go from there.

DuFour: well boys that should do it!! what time is out tee time by the way?
oh, meeting adjourned.........
