路Good on Tudor for releasing a METAS certified ceramic watch at an excellent price point. I love competition

If you look at what parts of this watch are ceramic, it's the mid-case and the bezel insert. The bezel, crown, and case back are steel with PVD coating. When that coating wears, you are going to have a nice shiny deep black mid case, and parts that look worn...
why 41mm?
tudor already has a black, black bay that nobody is knocking down doors to get. they prolly used parts from that watch on this as well.
have to say i don't like the text on the bottom of the dial as well. master chronometer stretches way to far on both sides. and did we really need for it to say black bay? this kills the symmetry imo
I think it is indeed quite a smart move from Tudor & Rolex with this METAS. It seems that Omega is attacking Rolex brand, while Tudor is now attacking Omega directly creating a new front and possibly putting Omega in a tricky spot.
On a purely esthetical point of view, I don't really see why it is not OK to put BB and Master Chrono texts on the dial - i see lot's of these on Omega, Rolex and Tudor - so for me hard to understand why this one is different?
Another point for me is the caseback - i think this really differentiates this piece and i like it a lot.
