Tudor is exciting and retro inspired innovative but I never seem to be able to pull the trigger

Couldn't-wouldn't consider a Tudor-Omega first any day.

Would like to see more bb 58 iterations

Would also like to see gmt in different bezel colors

Tudor is good and close to becoming great with a couple of more release

Hear! Hear! I love my Pelagos LHD and it is taking considerable willpower to not pull the trigger on that GMT. Need to slow my roll a bit.

I prefer older Rolex references. The Tudors remind me more of my 5 digit references than the newer Rolex models do. Tudors rock!

I find myself looking more and more at their vintage subs, but simply cannot justify dropping that amount of coin on a vintage Tudor.
Totally agree

I wear a 14060 M on a nato as a weekly work watch so it is also a tool - it shows me the time and this one is +/- 0 sec/day.

But most of my watches can do this to my knock off time requirements.

So all watches are tool watches to me.

Ps. Your Tudor BB and Pelagos are not diving watches.

The bezel markings don’t comply with the ISO Standards for a ‘diver’.

You would need to buy a DSSD or one of the new SD’s to own a ‘diver’.

Why do you think Rolex has added the correct minute bezel markers to these models?
Could you elaboeate on the minute markers?

Requires a minute marker at each bezel minute line.

Sd4k = iso
Seiko MM300 = iso

Without 60 marks it's not up to par.

I know the BB58 is a start but I hope that Tudor makes thinner watches. Their existing line (except the BB58) is FAR too thick. Just too clunky.

Seriously, that's my ONLY issue. Same with the IWC Portuguese 7 day. Really want that watch but far too thick

I understand and respect that some love Tudor, however, I’m not a fan. To be fair I don’t know much about the brand, mostly because I’m not interested. I don’t like the flat finish look of the bezel, hands, and face.

A refreshingly reasonable critique.
