I said I quite liked the RO but I don't like the ROO.

They just need to put down some screws 馃榿

It isn't just that it looks like an ROO, it is just so tasteless and completely lacking a coherent design.

Welcome to the world of Zenith Royal Oak...

What is it with these Brands just ripping off other brands lately?
Is there no creativity left?

I guess leadership teams in these companies don't allow anyone to be daring or creative. Based on market research they know what sells and try to stay within that recipe.

Only 42%? So what are you complaining about?
I know, I should shut the f蠀ck up. If only my income would have increased with 42% in the same three years...

Favourite release for me. 2021 Explorer 2. So refreshing to see a complete change in design, bringing it bang up to date with the times. Makes the previous one look trash.

If it ain't broke, then don't fix it I guess.

I think the criticism doesn't apply for Rolex either way since they are doing their own designs, not copying what others do that sell well.

I think what Rolex is doing is so admirable. Creating true timeless classics that will live through many generations.

I have to say the white dial (panda) is looking pretty good in this video. Back on the fence again.
The video is entirely in German, I don't speak a word, but it has nice close ups of live wrist shots.
I like both, but I think the black one would be the one to get.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you crack me up. Do you really think that you are going to notice a 0.35mm difference?
If it's just the 0.35 difference, no. But it's actually down almost a full mm from the 15.3mm thickness of the previous BB Chrono, which was even thicker than the standard BB. Also, the standard BB has a kind of slab like shape to the side of its case, but this new chrono's case geometry is supposedly fully reworked. So I'm hoping the overall effect will be a slimmer feeling watch.
I really like the new Tudor Chrono Panda, but still worried about its size and thickness. However, it does seem like Tudor has implemented some tricks (like seating the movement lower) to make the watch seem slimmer than its 14.4mm thickness. Compared to the 11.9mm thick BB58 in this pic, it doesn't look that bad. (Pic credit to mallen161081)

Will need to try one on the wrist before making a final judgment.

I'm waiting to hear back from local AD to get a time to go in and try it on also. Once I'm there I will send you some pics on the wrist.
I'm still leaning towards the black dial.

This must be the only watch forum where the AP Black Panther hasn't been discussed. So here it goes 馃槈

I guess it's no stupider than any other ficitional character, like James Bond for example.
