i'd say BBPro is more understated because the general public doesn't know Tudor watches

The Exp2 16570, even though its older, is recognized as a Rolex these days. Bracelet and cyclops. That said the Exp2 is still one of the more understated Rolex watches but if compared to the BBPro - i think BBPro wins in that dept

Great pics! I picked one up this week on the rubber strap. Love it so far. Thickness seems like a non issue in my 7 inch wrist. Looks really good on a variety of straps.

Love mine. It’s been on my wrist for three weeks , not something I can do with my Rolex. Extremely comfortable on the rubber strap. I’ve ordered a bracelet for it, looking forward to seeing how it fits. Very light on the rubber strap. The thickness of the watch is of no concern ,particularly on a 39 mm case, just the right amount of heft where you actually feel like you’re wearing a tool watch.

Enjoy yours OP!

The BB pro is a great watch, got mine on the rubber strap. Talked to my A.D. and added the braclet for 850.00 worth it, the rubber strap is great on this watch.

$850 for bracelet….. does that means $500 for the “rubber” strap?
I might pick up oem rubber just to have handy

Looks absolutely stunning, nice watch.

What camera did you use to photo it? The quality looks nice on the close-ups.

This has quickly become my favorite daily as well. I tried going back to my 114060 and Polar, the two other watches that I tend to wear as my daily most often, and found that I really missed the "Pro." I love the doming of the crystal, which gives it a completely different, and more interesting IMO, look than my dozen or so modern Rolex's. The "monobloc" lumed hour markers look great, and as mentioned the lume is amazing. It wears large for a 39mm, and has some wrist presence, a bit like a 16600 SD. I think the spring-loaded clasp adjustment is a better execution or this feature than my Subs, and just feels more refined. The accuracy is off the charts, equal to my best Rolex's. If I had to nitpick, I could probably live without the faux-rivets on the bracelet, and maybe a couple millimeters thinner would work (at the expense of the Tudor signature "slab side" case however). It really is the piece I've been hoping to see from this group for a long time, and ultimately could be the watch that ironically makes me lose a bit of interest in this hobby. I suppose that's what being satisfied feels like!

Not sure on the rubber strap cost.... but wears great on both.

According to Rolex service centres and my AD (who asked Tudor) the bracelet is not available to purchase separately yet? Have you actually received it, or just ordered it?
