First Tudor

[richardlo]

Got my first Tudor today. I am fairly impressed. Having owned a Sub years ago which ended up being stolen. Then getting a DJ, Explorer II, Speedmaster, I wasnt thinking of getting another. When the monochrome showed up it piqued my interest for some reason. Tudors never interested me the BB58 with the vintage look didnt appeal to me, the Pelagos I liked in photos but didnt like when seeing it in person.
Tried on the BB monochrome and was sold, having a price 1/3 of a Sub with a metas movement was a no brainer for me. I like the metas certification, the look and 41mm is right and despite people saying a Rolex is more comfortable than a Tudor I dont feel it. It feels as weighty and comfortable as a Sub imo. I am not a fan of the rivets but as others have pointed out once its on the wrist you dont even realize they are there. The adjustable clasp is fantastic EVERY Rolex and Tudor should incorporate this, on the fly extend is such a nice feature. There are subtle differences but this model really is a Submariner substitute for those that dont want to wait or spend the money for a Sub, hope Rolex doesnt read this and make Tudor change it up or pull the model in the future.
