Rather like the Tudor Opaline GMT But cannot stand the bracelet with rivets still. They could have given the option like on the new Black Bay.

On wrist you dont notice it, whilst on the BB58 it suits its retro vibe. I have tried the Ranger on (sans rivets) and it feels smooth, I've seen someone fit that bracelet to the BB58 and it looks odd - mismatch of styles.

Agree the GMT opaline is modern so have the option.

Now I'd love the T claps to be retro fitted, but also like the shield logo on the OG bracelet

Zenith Pilot 40, looks great.

Shame on the price and the obvious styling queues from elsewhere.....

I was hoping for a new Blue Pelagos ideally, but appears to be conspicuous in its absence.

Gone in house, and now followed the BB S&G line (in design) older BB36 etc discontinued.
Yeah I realise it now uses their group in house kenissi movement but still, 25% increase at once is a lot 😁😁😁

That will be next year I expect or the end of this one.

Tudor's end 1/4 last year delivered some great watches.

There was a render someone created of the Pro but in cream/ white dial. Looked the nuts, especially compared to the GMT just announced.

Maybe doing it in 1 hit, rather then 2-3 a year.

Or slowly clawing into Rolex's old market segment.

39mm will be great, but loose those stars

Not just me then. It's like an Amazon review on the dial

For those of you who are Tudor lovers, are you getting the new BB54?
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-37mm-tudor-black-bay-54

No for me, but would be interested if both the bracelet & rubber can be fitted to the BB58.

I do like the new bezel grip but not the crown (prefer the OG)

Oddly I always likes the idea of the BB58 bezel being ghosted (at least faded gilt on the bezel) but looking the above I prefer the gilt.

I most likely will be purchasing the 'light champagne' bb36 announced at some point.

Of course the watch making the biggest news is the one most won't be able to get. I've been wait listed going on close to 9 years now... 🙄

I think it looks amazing, but unless I fall in love with it on the wrist, it’s too close to my bb58.

This is a great example of a market TH could capture. Imagine releasing a small handful of Heuer 1000 models, slim case, reasonably faithful to original…

Bought my wife's blue BB36 in 2019 new from AD for a little under 2800 euro. I certainly prefer the original blue over the new sunburst and the original oyster over the new jubilee. It's moving away from sporty to dress.

I like it. It's the size of the original Submariner, so it's got that going for it. I don't plan to get it, as I already have the BB58.

Love it, but no, not going to be replacing my BB58
I think they got another winner with this one.

Yes, another Daytona virtually no one will be able to get directly from a dealer. Given the absence of the black in steel, is that discontinued now?

I think it looks ok. It’s only 1mm shorter L2L than the 58 so will be interesting to see how it wears. I suppose if you are desperate for a t-fit and own a 58 you’d need to buy this or get a Ranger bracelet.

but yes, not bad. Best of the releases from Tudor - at least better than the white gmt (which I don’t like at all I’m afraid).

you can configure the Daytona new model with a black dial so it’s not discontinued. Not sure why no pics of it to be honest.
