·Meh. One of the things I really like on the BB58 is the gilt dial, so these white dials don't really do it for me......

·I'd love to see a blue one, but the ultimate killer would be a 58 GMT.

·I like the green as well, although I don’t like the red accents on dial and bezel. Gilt there would be nice!

·I rather they fix the crown tube and make the hour hand less comically large. rinse and repeat is not exactly thinking outside the box for tudor. the black bay line is highly derivative.

·The Harrods one is a Black Bay but not a 58. As the 58 model has become more popular I wouldn’t be shocked if this was the year they finally pulled the plug on the full size Tudor Harrods. But the 58 is a night and day difference as a watch.

·Rolex Submariner I understand. Tudor Submariner, what's the point ? Might as well get an Omega Seamaster or save for a real Sub. Not trying to offend anyone, but how can Tudor be perceived as a serious standalone brand when all they do is copy Rolex but never try to beat Rolex? At least at Omega they "try" to make better watches than Rolex and in some regards they do. Tudor don't even service the movements of their modern watches, they replace the whole movement at service with a refurbished one. In turn, they will refurbish the movement they removed from your watch, refurbish it, and put it in someone else's watch at service. If Tudor do not preserve the integrity of their watches, collectors should stay away from that brand in my opinion.
Perhaps.....just perhaps....someone doesn’t have the budget for a Rolex sub but they love the craftsmanship and still want to own, so why shame them for going w the Tudor offering?
Just my two cents, but I think that is clearly one of the reasons for the Tudor offering.

·In the same price range there are much better options. Besides, wearing a Tudor goes against rule #7 of watch collecting.
What's rule #7 of watchmaking?
I like the Tudor lineup, especially the new 58s. I think different enough from the Rolex sub and have their own personality and character. These are great value for the money - and now moving to in-house movements.

Now, movement quality-wise, that’s an interesting conversation. I don’t know my Omega history well enough but when did they switch from a modified ETA to in-house, distinct movements in the SM’s? Tudor also recently made this switch. While Omega is clearly a few years ahead, to me it looks like both are doing the same thing, no?

·According to the 100 rules of watch collecting, not watchmaking.
Rule #007: Would James Bond ever wear this brand? If the answer is yes, then it's worth collecting. If no, then it's not.
Examples:
Would James Bond ever wear Rolex ? Yes, he already has
Would James Bond ever wear Omega ? Yes, he currently does
Would James Bond ever wear Patek ? for sure
Would James Bond ever wear Zenith ? he might
Would James Bond ever wear Breitling ? he might
Would James Bond ever wear AP ? for sure
Would James Bond ever wear Tudor ? NEVER !
