I ordered mine 13 months ago and finally got to pick it up few weeks ago. Great Summer time watch. I think it feels even more comfortable than the Black Bay Blue ETA on bracelet. Congrats. I know you’ll enjoy it.

In your case, it probably makes sense to wait. I hope the Daytona comes through for you
Tudor is just killing it right now. There is no downside to getting one. I might eventually get one. I have pretty much everything else from them, including hydronauts, lol

I used to hate Tudor with the snow flake hands but the BB58 blue won me over and I purchased it.

And now I got the reverse panda. Living what Tudor is doing at Theo et and I hope to get the Bb Pro

Congrats! The attention to detail on this dial and value for the $$$ is hard to beat! The wait list for this piece is 100+ at my AD.

Nice, congrats! Looks good.

And for those keeping score at home, that’s an actual “panda” dial. ;-)

Thanks very much. Yep, there was a waiting list at my AD and I wasn’t on it, but they sold it to me as was in the right place at the right time. Very lucky, for sure. And agreed, the attention to detail is great. For the price, I think these are quite hard to beat

Congrats on the black - looks great on you. I think the black is lovely too, and I can definitely see that one in my future in the leather strap.

I can thoroughly recommend the BB Pro also. I have one on the nato and like it more than I ever thought I would. Tudor are making some great watches at affordable price points right now

I also often wonder why Tudors are so thick in general. I assume it's because of its movement and not a design choice. This chrono uses a Breitling movement, so it's thinner, at least my assumption.
I actually don’t know. What I can say is the half mm or so they have shaved off makes a real difference with this. I used to own quite a number of 41mm black bays and sold them all as they were quite hefty and tall. This still has the heft, but the tallness is much less of an issue, and actually looks like it’s in proportion.

Given the L2L, I think if this was a lot thinner it would look a bit odd. It’s also one of the first tudors where I’ve managed to dial the bracelet in just right so the watch is comfortable with minimal movement. Makes a real difference.

One thing to note is this wears beautifully compared to some I have owned in the past. The caseback sinks into the wrist so it wears far thinner than I wound have imagined and is super comfortable.
