John has an incredible collection, but still pales in comparison to a lot of the collectors on the RM subsection.

in other news, just got this for my trip to the bahamas with my (now) fiance

[MetroBrah]

about $2500 to spend

what would you guys do? used omega Seamaster or get two watches say a Longines Hydroconquest and Sinn 556?

Omega Speedmaster reduced Michael Schumacher and the Sinn 556 imo. That way you have the versatile do everything watch and a special edition chronograph to alternate. Not a huge hydroconquest fan tbf

Whichever option includes the watch you like the most.

Congrats, that's a very polarizing piece to say the least. I think I need to see one in person.

It’s going to be an LE, as the p-02, 03, etc will be released every two years as per the original.

Plus it’s only $4k it’s not like buying a $150k hublot :///

I say definitely the one nicer watch, but that's just my philosophy overall: 1 nice thing vs several lesser ones. Also look into Dekla, in-house German dials and cases with hardened options for far less than Sinn:

Not a bad price at all...considering you cant get an oyster anymore.

I have jubilee so it would have been redundant

[twovalvekid]

Yup. I have seen yours in a good view and i think i'd like either or. Im a fan of blue so as soon as i saw it i knew i wanted one at some point.

Enforcer is the only i've seen who's wrists that tudor hasn't looked gigantic on

Crew. I like the tool/explore watch vibe of this one. I couldn't pull it off but i dig it.

Visual context helps. I simply don't take good "wrist shots". A woman's datejust would look large on my wrist because of how thin my joints are, but in the context of my whole frame I think I get away with my 43mm Tudor comfortably. The P01 enforcer is rocking is a 42mm.

Can you stop posting this *******.

Now I don't know if i like that or the leather strap better.

[MetroBrah]

Haven't seen too many Certina ITT but newest add

Like always maxing out a company matched 401k contribution. You always opt for the bracelet configuration when feasible knowing you can always get a leather strap. Trying to find a bracelet after the fact is ass.

This is especially the case when the bracelet configuration is brand new 33% off retail. 4800 for that watch bnib is a retarded deal. Wish it had been that price a month ago, I wouldn’t be wearing this bronze

Good point. Already know it looks good on the leather.

I really don't like two tone watches but this one works. I can't really pinpoint what it is but maybe the black dial and bezel combo with the gold sub dials. If that bezel was gold or SS I'd probably hate it. It just works and I really like the retro look Tudor is going for.

Agree/10. I dunno what it is. When i first walked into my AD last july they had a SS/YG Daytona that i tried on. It...didn't work...in my opinion. Only gold im really a fan of is RG because it just doesn't seem as....Cartel-ish?

[W1LLW]

I saw the Tudor 2tone Chrono in the same shop I saw the 2tone Daytona so I was able to walk back and forth between the cases to compare what I liked and didn’t like about both. The Tudor is visually more appealing for a variety of reasons:

- The color of the gold itself. Rolex uses that traditional King Midas-esque YELLOW yellow gold. The Tudor uses a noticeably darker “honey” gold color. Makes it look a bit more conservative and less “cartel-is” as twovalve put it.

- The amount of gold used. As was just pointed out, Rolex actually does the entire bezel in gold while the Tudor keeps the bezel black and merely sprinkles in the gold on the tachymeter indicators

- Tudor uses 2 registers in their chrono, while the Daytona uses 3. In some configs of the Daytona (panda, platinum/icyblue-dial) it looks cool. In other color configs, it’s just too much going on.


I’ve never seen a two-tone watch that I’ve been interested in, but I think the darker color of gold on the Tudor and it’s sparse use on the bezel/dial is what is making this one seem so smart.

[twovalvekid]

You hit the nail on the head with the king midas yellow gold. The tudor looks much more....aged?...and bronze.

Im all about under-statement, so i guess that's why i think what i do.

[BigRangs]

That same color combo works here on the Daytona. This configuration gets nicer and nicer the more I see it.

[W1LLW]

Popped into a rando cartier dealer to try on the white version of the santos since it's friday and fuk it why not. news to me, the blue version only comes in that large case size, i could of sworn it was also offered in medium but guess not.

I share the same sentiments of other people who have tried on this watch. The large seems too large and the medium seems too small. Between the two I prefer the medium as something to potentially wear with a sport coat or something like that. That said i'd have to see how i liked it compared to an oyster perpetual or smoothe bezel datejust with jubilee bracelet.

SMALL





LARGE

yup that's it. Replace the gold bezel with the darker one and it looks considerably nicer.

[W1LLW]

Wowwwwwwwwww. No way in hell brands wait 8 or 9 months to debut watches that were meant for spring release though right????

[twovalvekid]

So....it's a good time to go into my AD and ask about a BLNR? lol

I couldnt imagine brands waiting that long. Time to...home release.

And holy sausage fingers will.

[Venom08]

Well they just cancelled the Geneva Motor Show too which blows.
