Agree, otherwise it is a pretty good looking watch

A wannabe RO bracelet with a wannabe DD dial. Sorry but not a fan. Tudor nails design with some other stuff but this is really, really poor like some intern was trying to make a name for his or herself but failed (but it still somehow made production )

Bezel and bracelet looks like the cheaper end of the Seiko brand to me.

I prefer engine turned bezels over fluted in ss.
Never liked roman numeral dials.
Looking forward to different dial options.

Case and bracelet look great. Dial look awful

Overall, the watch is pretty nice for the price. A real retro vibe if that’s what one is looking for. But I feel like the movement is a bit small for the case, judging by the date window placement.

Why? At least with a proven ETA you get solid and reliable performance that’s easy and relatively cheap to service.

With Tudor’s “in-house” movements, you get stuck dates, an unproven track record and expensive servicing, assuming you keep it beyond the warranty period.

Well said buddy..
I won’t be buying one but think it’s a nice watch for what it is.

Couldn’t agree more. If it’s a tool watch, ETA is a great movement, easily serviceable with a proven track record. Unless the watch has a transparent caseback, in-house is so over exaggerated on a $3k watch.

I think it looks pretty nice in these shots, especially for a €2000 Tudor. But yeah, they could've done the Roman numerals a lot better around the date and day. It's less of an issue with the diamond dial.

Not my cup of tea. I don’t like the flat lug area between the bezel and the bracelet. Looks dated.

I really like it.

I would like to know if the gold on the two tone version is capped or solid.

The website doesn't indicate.

Mmmmh, not sure. I don't like fluted bezels and that looks kind of similar. Would have to see it in real life to decide one way or another.

The Roman numerals, the turned engine and the polished links are not appealing to me. What is awful IMO, is the rounded edge of the case. Why would you make such an ugly curve .

Is this real or fake. Numerals cut off, bezel must be made to look Frankenstein.

Up there w the P01, this is amongst the ugliest tudors produced , IMO. It’s ashame Tudor can’t find success when anything other than a black bay.

I don’t think that picture does this watch justice or maybe I just prefer the full Roman dial versus diamonds...Other pictures I’ve seen look much nicer especially for the price.

I dislike Roman numerals which is a dealbreaker for me. Besides that it’s nice.
