Size comparison shots of Sub, SubC, and Tudor BBR

Took these pics a couple of days ago when my new BBR came in, though I share them here for a visual comparison of how these three pieces compare to one another.

I mean, I have the pics, might as well share them, no?

Enjoy!


In the car as I had just picked up the BBR, comparing it to LB I was wearing that day:






Later at home, comparing with SubC as well:








(Note the bluesy has an extra link so weighs a bit more)

Thanks for the pics. So did I understand this correctly? The bluesy despite being two-tone AND having an extra link still weighs less than the Hulk?

Yes, please note it is a 5 digit, so case is lighter and hollow center links.

Great looking trio, and the size/mass comparison is certainly interesting. I didn't realize how much beefier the lugs on the BB were compared to the 5-digit subs

Definitely substantial compared to 5 digit sub. But in a good way.

How does the BBR and SubC compare size wise when wearing on your wrist?

In January I bought a BB S&G and now I really have my sights set on a SubC.

BB Feels about 20 percent larger than SubC in every direction. You also feel the extra weight even though it is only 10% difference. SubC will feel more comfortable, I believe.

thanks for this.
Nice to see the weight too
I like the 3 but once again I think the Tudor is a real bargain. So well made, so nicely finished case and bracelet and all of this for a fraction of the Rolex
