The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[Texasmade]

Imagine that you're a high-roller eager to show off this watch to your Redbar buddies. Then you get to the meetup and see a middle-class Manhattanite wearing the same watch. Oh, the shame.

But at least you drove up to the meatup in a blue 911 GT3 with a modified exhaust to be extra loud to announce you're arriving!

Edited the original post to emphasize how low-class this guy is.

The 41mm BB shows how well Tudor understands the market.
They have the 39mm models for the small-wrist nerds who talk about watches all day on forums.
And now they have the 41mm model that looks exactly like the Submariner* for the regular people who want a normal looking modern watch.
*fugly handset notwithstanding

For that matter, I would prefer a real reissue of their Submariner rather than a frankenBBsub with (indeed) their inevitable « snow flake » hands that I find hideous.
And the gold model? Antinomic for Tudor who started as a working class Rolex.

Pretty disappointed with the new releases from all brands, at least the ones I could buy. Only eventually interested with the « Bruce Wayne » GMT.

I like the stuff Tudor has done recently (classic designs, trending down in size, actually being available to buy), but I can't get over how much I hate the snowflake hand.

If they ever ditched it in favor of a sword hands (a la the MilSub) I'd be all over Tudor like @mossrockss is with Omega

I was close to buy a BB54 last year, but finally didn’t because… those. Too bad because like you I like their stuff.
I was hoping for a smaller size Ranger, a Tudor model that hasn’t snowflakes, but not yet. (Might be released in 36 or 37mm later this year).

While I certainly understand personal preference, I still find it odd that the snowflake hand is so polarizing.

I really like all of these too

Of ones you listed I love the titanium Yachtmaster, and I've never been interested in that model before until they offered it in that metal. I would have loved to see Rolex unveil something else in titanium, like the new GMT with the black and gray bezel, rather than simply adding one more steel model.

The gold Overseas with green dial looks nice, but some how as other's mentioned it already feels like they were a year or so late to the green dial party. Plus, I can't help but wonder if it would look better with yellow gold, or a less rose colored gold. Perhaps if they did something like the "Sand gold" that AP recently unveiled.

I thought this was a meme until....

My personal favourite, so far, is the platinum Santos Dumont with the carnelian dial.

Oh, and the hands and indices are counter-clockwise!
