    Not a fan of the screw down pushers but otherwise looks nice and balanced. A little sterile looking but it could just be the contrast from this picture

    Eek, not feeling that at all, but it's hard to put my finger on it.

    The overall design looks pretty good, but the bracelet and the addition of the snowflake hour and that particular crown would stop me from considering it. Then again they probably don't want to encroach too much into Daytona territory.

    I think if they had flatter pushers and maybe used the Snowflake style in the chrono hand it would look better.

    too me all of the different geometric shapes on the dial seem to fight with each other for attention, vs complement each other.

    i think it is a rip-off of a DSOM/Omega in general. not bad looking but very busy nonetheless.

    Rolex Marketing Head (RMH): Hey we need a "Daytona" in the Tudor line!! It needs to have aspects of both brands.

    Tudor Brand manager 1 (TBM) 1:Hey let's use snowflakes for hands! That shows its a Tudor!

    TBM2: Hey let's use the old Daytona bezel!

    RMH: No, can't be the Daytona Bezel!

    TBM2: Ok lets modernize it and make it not as attractive!

    TBM3: Hmm needs to be more Daytona, lets put on screw down pushers!

    TBM4: Collectors love red text lets put a single line of red text on it!

    TBM5: Hey we need to make it funky looking, lets put some plates on the sides of the bracelets to give it a cool tech industrial feel!

    RMH : Guys is not looking Rolex enough...

    TBM6: Ohh ok lets use submariner style hour markers!



    Foo: Congrats you made a modern boring watch, a watch with little soul and no balance... I shall call it the Pontiac Aztec of watches.

    Actually doesn't look nearly as bad there! The real story though: in-house chronograph movement? :eek:

    What I wouldn't give for them to use that in the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue... fingers crossed I guess.

    Definitely looks better on the Instagram posts. Can't decide if I like it or not.

    Looks better in the pictures, esp the bezel. I still stand by the Submariner style hour markers are a bad choice for the watch.

    im not a fan. feels like they are trying to appeal to vintage Daytona fans and it just looks like a mish mosh.
