I think the P01 is a sleeper. Once people see it in person, it will take off in popularity. Takes the retro craze to a new level!

Why do harsh? Sure, you don't like it. Don't think I'd buy either but there's no golden rule on dates and price wise just look at any mech watch.

Well it's a column wheel with vertical clutch and a silicone balance spring, so not sure how much cheaper to go

They’re masculine watches. They definitely have that rugged and tough look.

It's very important the bezel doesn't move so they know how long it takes to pull a shipwrecked sailor out of the drink.

The PO1 is hideous, but it's *so* ugly that it's starting to grown on me a little. At least, it's one of the few Basel releases so far that's staying with me.

I do actually like that bb Chrono but not the bund which is possible to remove so no issue there. Need to see it in person though. That being said the retail price is in Rolex territory so not sure I’d stump that for a Tudor. Might just keep hanging on for the SS Sky D or go for a TT Daytona to be honest

I like them because along with Rolex's releases, they freed up a big chunk of my 2019 WIS budget for a whole bunch of Seikos...

I personally like the look of both watches. List price is a little high, but it definitely leaves room to be discounted.

IMHO.

The PO1 is a monstrosity in my eyes. So no I dint like it

The SG Chrono I like better than their 1st BB chrono. It does look cool but at that price point I think it's priced a bit high. I'd rather get OP or Exp 1 or a bit more for the new DJ36

I like the 1st one, but gold is just too ghetto for me. I don't want the bling bling effect....

It would be so simple to hit the right nerve but Tudor has to have a "twist" and "dare". I am so over it. Why can't they give me a steel Chrono with a black bezel and light sub-dials? That would be the new icon of 2019. But no. They have to offer the Chrono with gold which I would never ever buy.

I have very few actual LOLs. Thank you.

This would have stolen the show.

My question: what does the po1 bezel measure? My ancient YM measure minutes. This measures hours? I don’t get it.

I share the same opinion. The P01 could be nice, but the strap and the way they did it, ruin it for me.

Considering how hard it is to get a ceramic Daytona I think this particular model would catch the eye of many collectors in waiting.

I will say, the P01 has grown on me; I can't wait to try it on in the store.

If you multiply by five, you can convert to minutes, but I'm not sure if that's what's intended. I don't see what use an hour scale would be. The Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre edition has the same bezel scale, and I never understood it, either.

I like the chronograph. The "Commando" not so much. Kinda looks like a Seiko 007. Wouldn't buy either one.
