Game, set, match, Tudor!
What a beautiful chrono!
Ever since Tudor came back strong a couple of years ago, I had been longing to see them go back to their roots and history. I am glad they did because it is a knockout!
As for Rolex, those three models leave me with a somewhat bitter aftertaste, but we will have to wait to see them in the flesh.
Thanks for posting, Jeff.
Cheers,

Rolex Baselworld 2010 ...here we go...
sorry, I don't know who to credit for the pictures... the Tudor look very nice ! This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2010-03-17 08:57:06 This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2010-03-26 01:41:11...
Wow, the Tudor Chrono is a winner!
No surprises for the new Sub, except on the first pic, maybe... What is it? Gold or SS? The new Explo seems to be bigger...40 mm? But I'm ok with it, I fear ...worst. BUT THE TUDOR.... WOOOOOOOOOW! I appreciate a lot the way they stay close to the origina...
I agree the tudor is stunning!
I've read the price will be CHF 4,000 and they will be available from June. I've read conflicting reports about whether they are 40 or 42mm.
So it is a bargain
I still have to know what movement is used for this Chrono and its size, but it may really be my next one.... Best, and thanks for the information. Nicolas
So.....
which one are you going to choose? black or grey dial? certainly very tempting..... cheers
With a diameter of 42 mm, I first have to see it in the flesh...
I hope that it will still have a balance look, even with such a big case! If the volumes are ok, then I would go on the grey dial. Best, Nicolas
Explorer
From what I can tell from the available information, the new Explorer is: model number 214270 case diameter 39 mm movement cal 3132 (Parachrom hairspring/Paraflex shock protection) crown Twinlock Does the minute hand in the photo above look strangely shor...
The stimated prize for...
the Tudor is aroung 2750 euros. Not bad at all for a impressive watch, hermano! Best Emilio
Not bad? Impressive!
An interesting price tag for such a watch... Thanks for the information, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Yes the Tudor is the winner!!!!!!!!!!
I take the black one I have already 2 grey one's Cheers, Bas.nl...
Funny, when I see it, I can't resist thinking about the ..1655!
They both are so seventies! It is really nice to see this kind of watches in 2010. Best, my lucky friend. Nicolas
The Tudor...
Looks the pick of the bunch for me. Not sure i am a buyer...actually prefer the vintage one you posted though. Can't wait to get there...catching the 830am plane tomorrow!
loving the new Tudor Monte Carlo re-edition
it's officially called the Heritage Chrono. here are some press-kit pics taken from the web. looks almost identical to the original except for: 1.) no lug holes on the case 2.) no cyclops 3.) knurled bezel, crown and pushers 4.) slightly different bracele...
Thanks for sharing these press files pics, 150.
I'm more and more intrigued by this watch... Thaks for pointing out the differences between the modern and the vintage. It looks very colse to the original, tough, and have a superb presence. Hope that the real exeprience won't be deceiving. Best, Nicolas
It looks great...
....but I have a personal problem with reeditions, as I always prefer the original ;-) The original ad was also cool... This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2010-03-17 13:52:07...
I'm lovin that 'do on that dood....
I'm going to show it to my barber...bring back them 70s.... ;-)
The Tudor.....
looks perfect with this nato strap..... thanks for the photos.... cheers
What movement is in the Tudor chrono...?
Is it chorometer-rated (COSC, of course) like the Daytona? I've heard that Tudor's are not available in the USA anymore, true or not? Looks like Rolex is taking a cue from Omega and other watch lines going with grey dials and updates. The green sub is a g...
Fantastic looking Monte Carlo...thanks for the posting
I would really like to get one of these new ones as well as decent original...who wouldn't? cheers
Hey now!
Do I see a vintage Tudor re-edition in this post?! Vintage re-edition=Daos' sweet spot! That's a good-looking piece of metal! So, Jeff, will all the new Rolex Subs have ceramic bezels in colors matching their dials? Cheers, Daos
Tudor is stunning...
...especially with that 'nato' strap. No surprises with the black sub and explorer but the green sub?! I really don't know how I feel about this at all!!
Thank you....
the tudor looks very interesting..... the new subs loook bigger but the size of the bracelet seems to remain the same...... cheers
Like on the 2007 GMT...
Actually, my guess is that the size didn't change, but I'm still waiting for some infos... Best, Nicolas
I don't know, PP...I'm still waiting for some informations, BUT
It makes me think to the thicker volume of the GMT... To be confirmed. But I'm not crazily in love with the new Sub... Lucky me! Best, Nicolas
There seems to be....
a difference in the size in relation to the bracelet.... we shall see... cheers
Another vote for Tudor ...
Thanks for this. I haven't been excited about a new Rolex for a long time, but this Tudor re-issue looks great. I always assumed I would be getting Speedmasters for my boys' 18th bithdays, but the Tudor Heritage Chrono looks like it might a viable alterna...
you can attach a cyclops...
andrew, you can actually attach a cyclops if you want to. the one's on the GMT's, Subs, etc. are just glued on. if you google it, you will find threads that show you how to remove the cyclops. they also explain how it is attached. i'm sure you can easily ...
Thanks for the suggestion ...
I have enough trouble putting protective films on mobile phones and Nintendo game screens (LOL), so I am not sure I would be attempting to modify a new watch. Still, it's an interesting idea and good to know it can be done. Andrew
Game, set, match, Tudor!

"New" Explorer looks great to me
I read on the website that it has a 39 mm case so that will do. There were quite some comments on the 36 mm case being to small, so this will satisfy a few customers. I have to say that I choose the II over the I for one reason because of its size. I love...
Oversized watches
My only problem with the trend of oversized watches is,you only get a bigger case. The watch movement always remains the same size. This is like the oversized packaging supermarkets use(a con) to give you the impression you are getting more for your money...
And also just wanting to find out
What are production numbers like and are they considered limited/special editions?
