Tudor BEATS Rolex with Best Watch of 2021
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ม.ค. 2022
- The Rolex Daytona is that one watch you’re probably the most sick of hearing about, but even so, its popularity is not unjustified. It is the quintessential sports chronograph, rising from the ashes to become one of the most sought-after watches of all time. It seems nothing can take the fight to Rolex and the Daytona from Omega, Breitling or any other competitor-but what about a watch costing a third of the price from its own junior brand, Tudor? This is: Tudor BEATS Rolex with Best Watch of 2021.

Being a watch person comes down to your heart. Once you love a watch, these comparisons means nothing in the long run. If you buy the alternative, eventually you’ll want the one you originally wanted. Having said that, Rolex never captured my heart. I own a Tudor and am very happy with it. I also own a Panerai cuz of how it captured my heart. Sure, we study the details and appreciate those, but the heart is what it boils down to
So true.
exactly
So true …i own a casioak and love it 😁
True.
The Daytona is a watch I've wanted for years, only recently have i started looking at Tudor. Having picked my chrono panda up a few days ago, I'm more than happy with that, and I can honestly say I'm not bothered about the Daytona anymore
‘Greased eel’ - hard to get hold off. Absolutely funny! Watchfinder keep it up.
Makes me wonder who greased the eel to begin with... maybe it was easier to catch pre-grease. 🤣🤔
To set the record straight, as someone who was involved in “wristwatch” collecting (you had to mention that back then because the majority of watch collectors collected pocket watches), the Zenith Daytona had a waiting list from the moment it was introduced. Premiums were considered absolutely a crazy thing, but they started almost from the beginning of the 16520 launch. The older 4 digit Daytonas were considered old fashioned and it wasn’t really until around 1996/97 that they started selling for more than the Zenith Daytonas. My grail back then was the white dialed Daytona. While I don’t have my earlier Daytonas any longer, my 116500LN Panda is hardly ever off my wrist.
I am glad Tudor came back to the American market. I recently (within 10 years) started to get into watches and fell into the trap of the big 4 "mainstream" US brands (Breitling, Rolex, Omega and Tag) I remember seeing the Tudor bb58 in 2016? and was in love. I like the direction the brand is going as of late and cannot wait to see what else they conjure up.
The date complication tipped me to buying the Tudor chrono. It’s something I use every day, and I miss it every time I wear my BB58 so it was so easy to make the choice on this one. Love the video comparison !! I made the exact same comparison before making the choice to purchase my Tudor Chrono
Lol yeah, that’s what made you want it over the Daytona…
@@986C the price difference is obvious. I'm not denying that fact, but I'm military and the date plays an important roll in my daily activities. I honesty didn't think it would be a big deal until I got the Black Bay 58 Blue without a date and it gets less wrist time than expected. I have a generous collection of watches, but the 58 is the only no date. I learned a lesson about my tastes, but only until after that purchase. I actually chose the reverse panda, what did you choose?
@@Beemerfan Completly agree with you. I bought a Sub no date (my only no date watch) and only then realised how much I needed a watch with a date function. The Sub is a beautiful watch - but similarly to you I don't wear it much now because of the lack of a date function. The Tudor is a beautiful watch. Congrats.
because you dont own one lol
@@yanooo2007 got more than you think bobo. Move along troll
I like the styling of the Tudor reverse panda best for styling and legibility. I think it would be a great watch to wear as an everyday casual.
So...I'm going off topic but I prefer the Zenith Chronomaster Sport. The larger overlapping subdials fill the dial nicely (the Daytona has a wee bit too much empty space IMHO)
3 sub dials, a paragraph, a tachymeter, even more unnecessary text.. how much could you possibly need to look at lol and where exactly could you even fit more shit on that dial? 😂
Simplicity > cluttered dial
@@itskyyuuuu Rolex is so over-rated, just mass produced hype jobs.
The chronomaster sport is the far superior watch in every way except marketing.
@@leemacdonald6533 Rolex is for total knob jobs with zero sophistication.
I like the Tudor, but the Zenith is really nice too…though slightly pricier.
Great video. I own a recent sub and a bb58. What you said about these 2 definitely resonated with me. But between the bb chrono and the daytona I feel there’s no comparison (to my eye, or in my heart) as the bb chrono is far too thick and bulky to turn me away from my true love (one day, maybe)
It is a good watch but too thick and bulky, tried in AD. Daytona is 2+ mm thinner, Breitling premier chrono is also 1+ mm thinner. If Tudor have 58 chrono in 39/40mm size, 13mm thick, it will be great.
The Daytona is nothing more than Tulip mania. I actually prefer the Zenith. The Tudor is nice with the Breitling movement.
The person who create the b move was also the one who create the movement in the daytona :))
Yup, I'll take the Zenith as well.
You only prefer the Zenith because it was designed to look a lot like the Daytona lol.
@@jimlittle5769 All day long.
@@sylinmino u mean Daytona was designed in 1955 to look like Brietling’s which was from 1941?
So happy that this video was made. I'm in exactly the same situation as Andrew. I bought a BB58 SS gilt and black dial last year. At the same time, I also put my name down on AD list for the BB Chrono Panda Dial, resigned to knowing I'll never afford a Daytona. However I have a small niggling reservation. If/when I get the call, I wonder if I'll unbox the watch and think it's too thick/top heavy. Remaining proportions seem managable but the thickness.. esp compared to the normal BB58 worries me. I have a 6.5" wrist. I also need decide if I sell my BB58 and put the cash towards the Chrono or, do I have a need for both.... too many decisions. Loved the video. Keep up the amazing work. The open mic sessions with Tom are so refreshing!! 👌
IMO
1. I feel that the Tudor Chronograph is much more a "Mens" watch compared to the Daytona which fits small-mid wrist.
2. The price tag of the Daytona does not make sense at all (even if you can get itat retail)
3. The 2 sub dials is so much nicer compared to the 3 sub dials of the Daytona.
4. The Daytona will definitely always look newer in years to come compared to the Tudor Chronograph due to the ceramic bezel (but if you like patina, that's a different story)
Wholly disagree on Point 2 if you're talking retail. Can you even name a single other chronograph in that price range or below that even comes close to the Daytona?
- The Speedy Moonwatch is not ceramic, no precious metal in the SS version, not as accurate, smaller power reserve, shorter service interval, way worse bracelet, and it's thicker and bigger.
- Seamaster Chronos are all ridiculously big it's insane.
- The Zenith CMS has worse service interval, worse bracelet, worse PR, is thicker and bigger, and doesn't have screwdown pushers for WR.
- The Grand Seiko sports chronos are all ridiculously enormous and super thick and have worse bracelets
- Breitling Navitimer is not nearly as nice in the finishing or specs.
- And then even looking above its price, the AP Chronos don't even match the Daytona's sports specs.
Current market value for the Daytona is stupid, but do not sleep on retail value of it because it's still unmatched.
Your first point is absurd.
@@sylinmino I'm not sure what you meant by sleep on retail value, like someone would be sleeping while his phone is ringing of the hook with ADs calling him and trying to sell him a Daytona at retail. What spaceship did you come with again?
@@sylinmino Yes, I can name all of thise that you posted as better than the Daytona. You really pulled some obscure BS out of your ass to justify how overpriced the Daytona is. Service intervals? Bad PR?! Screw down pushers? C'mon, like the Daytona if you want but it's overpriced and mediocre at best. Trying to sell it as superior is...well...like the BS you posted.
@@chazzcombs I didn't pull that out of my ass. The Zenith has a 60 hour PR, the Daytona 70 hours. The Zenith has a 2-3 year service interval, the Daytona a 10 year service interval. The Zenith is 13.6mm thick, the Daytona a bit over 12mm.
I'm pulling these numbers from the official brands.
An interesting video matched perfectly with that dry humour, "not just talking out of my downstairs mouth", new keyboard on order.
I feel the same way about the Tudor BB GMT. I like the fact that it’s cheaper. But I also love the retro aesthetic over the current Rolex GMT Master 2
Another brilliant video with journal-like commentary that may even exceed the fantastic videography. Thanks and 👍🏼
Date instead of a third dial makes the Tudor a much better wearable option than the Daytona. Besides, in my personal opinion its cleaner and overall a much better looking watch.
Agree, hence why I got one :) also availability haha
I prefer the Tudor for two reasons:
1. The bicompax design of the Tudor just looks far more clean and not as busy as a watch that has 3 sub dials, like the Rolex Daytona.
2. Its not a Rolex, and therefore I take pride in NOT being part of the throngs of people who are striving for a Rolex just for the sake of owning a Rolex.
Isnt a Tudor a Rolex
@@fmcdomer yes, but without the cult
@@callmedru Exactly.
@@callmedru But that's exactly what Rolex wants 'normies' to do: they won't even let you buy a Rolex so you'll inflate the "poor man's Rolex" prices next...
It's a trap!
Edited to add: I just now learned in these comments that people will actually sit on a waiting list for Tudors now?????? What is wrong with people?
Please never change the soundtrack in your videos. Paired with your voice and the macros this is pure ASMR
I love the cleaner look of the Tudor without the crown guards, didn't see the crown guards on the Daytona for ages but once I saw them they bother me way more than they should!
Oh yeah that is so true.
Completely agree
Holy Fuck, what have you done?
Don't really get the crown guard on a chronograph, as surely the pushers would take the brunt of any bash? (Not saying that's a good thing but just no point in the crown guard)
I actually prefer the look of the crown guards, and it bothers me that Tudor doesn't use them
I think the locking pushers spoil the look of both of them. I also think it interesting that the layout of the Tudor resembles that of the more recent Omegas, with two sub-dials plus date window at 6. The Tudor is the thinking man`s Daytona, imo. Long live Omega, the thinking man`s Rolex.
The Tudor is just a stunning watch! I’ve wanted a Daytona for many years… but when this was launched I got straight on the phone to my AD to get me one…. Got my Panda the first week it was launched! Yes it’s a little thicker than I’d ideally like… but I’ll live with it. The Daytona to now just too hyped… I’m not a fan of the ceramic bezel either! The Baytona has won me over, my itch for a Daytona has gone!
Tudor watches are probably the nicest every day watch on the market. They look great and are not out of reach for enthusiasts that ACTUALLY wear their watches in every day use. I do. Hamilton's take a beating look great and you can HAVE one... Tudor is up there but so are you dude if you like it you have class and still down to earth personality. Love it!!
As much as I LOVE my Daytona, it spends more time in the watch box than on my wrist. I wore it for a few months when my Explorer II was at the watchmaker due to a seal failing and water getting into it, and I didn’t realize how much I relied on my watch for the date complication. I can’t tell you how many times I looked at my wrist while wearing the Daytona only to get more and more upset with the date not being there like on my Explorer. The Rainbow Daytona has always been my grail watch, but after spending more time with the Daytona on my wrist I am rethinking that. This Tudor might be a good choice as a Daytona replacement.
Zenith Chronometer Original or Tudor Chrono? What is better buy? Thanks
I like both watches a lot but own just the Tudor. Loving it despite the absence of a glide lock system on the bracelet.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be perfectly happy with a Daytona; however, for a sport chronograph I think Zenith does it best.
100% zenith is just now starting tog Er the respect from the wider marker of collections that they deserve but they are amazing at what they do both in terms of quality and innovation
Totally agree..much better movement all around!
What’s the cost of the Zenith tho
@@drkesrf 10 stacks
Certainly from a technical perspective!
I love both watches they have different details that outstand each other. Thank you for this video. 👌
The case shape and thickness of the Daytona makes it so so so wearable. I love omega and they technically have better chronographs in the newer two register chronos that they have, but they’re just so big in diameter and thick in height. So for me the Daytona still wins. It took me years to get a panda at retail but I am so glad I waited and did not settle. (The zenith came close but still so freaking thick!)
Finally someone actually talking sense, unlike the usual “Rolex is overpriced wah wah wah”... the simple fact is Rolex does cases and bracelets better than anyone, and that will always be a big deal.
I think the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport is much thinner than the zenith of old but it's still a bit thicker than the Daytona so you're right, nothing wears as good as the daytona. I think the new zenith chronomaster sport looks better than the Daytona but ill always choose fit and how a piece wears over everything else and there just isnt anything that wears like the Daytona.
I find it so odd that nobody talks about the thickness. Feels like a hunk of rock and is begging to be rammed into doors and walls.
The Tudor has a killer utilitarian/toolish look that puts the flashy Daytona to shame. I wish it was 40mm wide by 13mm thick, but I hope to soon find out how it wears since I'm currently waiting for my panda and obviously the AD did not have one for me to try on before I ordered it. I do agree with you that the previous generation of rolexes (5 digit) are better than the 6 digit references, I have owned 2 subs, and the combination of ceramic bezels and beefier cases on the new ones turns me off. If I could afford the Daytona I would probably go for a black dial/steel bezel, and the fist thing I would do is have the polished center links, bezel and lug hoods brushed. I hate the polished flashy parts that scream "look at me".
Totally agree on the non-flashy aspect, I told my local AD that I would have the polish buffed out , they told me I would invalidate the warranty on the whole watch! Also if I swapped the strap… crazy!
@@Dan-wq8id I would do whatever the f@ck I want to do with my watch. They can bite me. Plenty of good local watcmakers that can service my watches 🤷♂️
Wanted a Daytona since Rubens Barrichello won Sao Paolo Grand Prix, and it's been a hard model to get for well over 3 decades. Tudor is a tremendous value for a B01 for 2K less than Breitling but it's thick like Omega's chrono, the Daytona 4130 is slim and sits perfectly snug on the wrist. Other chronos are very nice but Daytona is an icon.
I find it funny that a ton of people criticize the Hamilton Panda for being thick, while the Tudor Panda gets praised, albeit having a very similar thickness.
@@RCrescente I have both, Tudor BB chrono wears better than Intramatic. Period.
This is an awesome production. Everything from concept to production leaves me wanting more. It's a channel above all others for content which informs and entertains.
I recently bought a Tudor Heritage chrono, the one with the orange and blue subdials. It's a great watch and I find I reach for it more often than I do for my Daytona. It's a more causal watch whereas my steel and gold Daytona is more dressier. But the Daytona runs longer and is easy more accurate. I do like this Tudor with its retro style, it's just too big for me. Nice review.
I am one of those who like the snowflake hands of Tudor, but my only problem with this watch is exactly how the snowflake hour hand obscures the sub dials when passing over them to a degree that annoys me a little bit.
Still an excellent watch no doubt.
Know what you mean, that snowflake hand is cool but a little clumpy.
Rendering its complication all but useless.
I am with you guys, I had it for 3 months and it was a love-hate relationship. The snowflake hand covers a lot of real estate. Is heavy and thick as a Sea dweller. I don't know what to say about the bracelet and clasp, don't want to beat the watch down, it just didn't work for me. I replaced it with the new Speed Master 3861 Sapphire and I love it.
I'll wait a few more years and see if they trim some of the weigh, add that new quick adjustment clasp that they used on the BB Bronze.
About the Daytona, I believe we would all buy one at retail, but I can't convince myself to pay over retail for it. Just my take, but to those who decide to do it. Enjoy with good health and love.
I own the Tudor and really love it . But the Daytona just pips it for me aesthetically. However you just can’t get one a rrp and I’ll never pay more than that . All that said , I certainly didn’t buy the Tudor as an alternative to the Daytona I actually bought it as an alternative to the breitling b01 which is also on my radar . Just can’t afford it yet 🤷♂️
I own the Tudor and it's a nice watch, it wouldn't work for someone with small wrists but it's a lovely watch none the less. I'd buy a daytona at RRP but the chance of that are zero and if I was going to spend £30k + I'd want a Patek or AP.
Rolex are nice but the hype is completely insane, there are so many better pieces than a boring three-hand Rolex
Had my heart set on a daytona but given that it was the same price as a brand new panda AP chrono i ended up going for that. Glad i did, not cos its now more than double the value but, cos it's an absolutely stunning watch.
Good points Largecock.
Patek for 30k?
@@kaytlancoates6816 Lots of Pateks cost less than $30k
I love this narrative. Funny, cool AF and informing. More please!
I would totally buy the tudor if it had a ceramic bezel. I dont like watches without date and the movement on the tudor is a breitling B01 which is a supreme movement. but they do it on purpose by not giving the tudor a ceramic bezel.
You can literally get the insert and swap it. Any basic watchmaker can make that switch for you.
@@stevenwang7850 you don't buy a 6k Chrono and swap pieces
@@stevenwang7850 are you crazy? why would I ruin a luxury watch by putting an non original after market part
@@VulgarRage The flip side of the comment quoted is that you can purchase the OEM aluminum insert and have your damaged one replaced for little cost.
Ceramic overrated. Ruins the tool aspect and doesn’t patina. It’s also more expensive to replace. Embraces the scratches
Really tempted with the Tudor and its beautiful, but will still go for the Grand Seiko Winter. More unique, and I will never ever think "oh what if I had a Daytona!?"
"Hands"...great writing yet again! Some very funny metaphors and similes going on in that word play! Am really looking forward to your reviews/assessments of some of the less common brands like Bovet! Keep up the GREAT work!
This is an awesome looking watch and one that I plan on getting at some point in time, I was able to get a Rolex this year though and wouldn’t change it up for any Tudor
You explain the unexplainable so well! Can't really explain why the daytona is so beloved but you somehow did! Why do I love rossa corsa red? Idk. I just do!
Golly, I truly do look forward to your stellar presentations & yes I would like to have this Tudor. I like Tudor watches although I’m upset about the date issue with the Pepsi GMT. Thanks & stay safe!
P.S. greased eel 😂
Fortunately, I believe they've fixed the date issue on the GMT. I believe any watch newer than 2020 doesn't have the issue. I've had my eye in the GMT..the only Tudor I have so far is this BB chrono, which is a magnificent watch.
What’s with the date @6:11?
Between 28 & 29 at what one would assume is 10:08pm.
Thank you for this video! I just bought this Tudor!! Love it!
This video is incredible! I love the subtle humor used in it. Actually had me laughing out loud....top notch all around.
These guys are personally responsible for my watch addiction. I came here wanting one watch, I left wanting every watch. Well I never actually left.
Great video as always. BBGMT is on my shopping list 😍
Is this panda variant a stark white like the Daytona or is it more of a Creme? And is the lume the same color as the Tudor pelagos?
The Tudor has me drooling...It looks like the first vintage Daytona. That does it for me.
I had a Tudor Chrono Steel and Gold. It was a great watch.
The Daytona is over rated and crazy. If the secondary market price for a Daytona was at it's retail price, the vast majority of Daytona fanboys would forget about it
If you’re issue is the size and thickness of this Tudor chrono. You may want to check out the Tudor Prince Tiger chrono, a very comfortable 40mm and thinner case size. Still obtainable and affordable. Have one with white dial and three full black sub dials. Also have the other two watches in your review and enjoy them all equally.
Man I love the Tudor BB Chrono. Such a fantastic watch. It's just waaaaay too big and chunky for me! I wish I could pull the Tudor off
You could wear the Daytona, that’s a girly watch 🤣😂🤣😂 😘
Ouch!! I'm going start calling you the "Rolex Killer"! First GS is better and now Tudor. If I could get my hands on a NEW Rolex for MSRP I'd probably buy it just to say I had one. In all fairness Rolex builds a great watch but so does Tudor, GS, Omega, Carl F Bucherer, ya had to throw CFB in there, and many more.
When's Paul's rebuttal coming out?!? Great stuff! Thanks
I love the Daytona,, I have a Tudor prince Chrono Panda dial ( non tiger) that I love .. i still dislike the snowflake hands on the newer Tudor pieces.. great vid brother
Have you noticed the stuttering of the chrono hand of the Tudor in section 6:00 till 6:02? Is that normal?
Thank you for the review
Che modello di tudor è ?
Great video. Just managed to get the black dial reverse panda version and over the moon. What a watch for the money!
Being the proud owner of a BB GMT you know the answer to the question.
If the Tutor had a 12 hour counter it would be absolutely perfect. I don’t understand why only a 45 minute sub dial.
Thankfully I don't need to worry about which one I'll get ever since I found some guy's Daytona in an airport
I’m looking forward for your review of the GP aston martin limited edition laureato chrono review. pls do as there’s no in depth review in you tube so far.
I'm currently on a waiting list for the Tudor and it's been 6 months. We'll see how much longer it takes. Wish me luck
Good luck !!! I was wait listed for 1.5 until I just recently got my Rolex OP 41
@@WatchUnwindthanks! I'll need it. you waited only 1.5 months for your OP? That's amazing if that's the case.

@@WatchUnwind damn thats a long wait. Im sure your sooooo stoked about getting it. Congrats!
@@Alex_Fung yeah man long time coming!!!
I have a 1973 Tudor Montecarlo Homeplate. It’s well worn as my father bought it in Europe in that year. I only wear it to the nicest restaurants and wear my Deepsea or Datejust 41 for everything else.
Great comparison! I’ve been waiting on the Tudor since June. I hope I get that call soon!
(I don’t want to go grey)
I ended up going Grey..the AD'S suggested I "develop a relationship" to establish my position on the wait list..I left and immediately found one on the Grey market, yes it was over retail, but I've been enjoying it since June! Good luck..its definitely a worthy watch!!
People wait for Tudors???????? Are you people serious?
@@pistonburner6448 Yeah it's crazy! I tried multiple ADs about the Chrono and was given the same response each time: we will put your name down. I have a little history with a local AD so I'm hoping I'll get one from them soon. I guess just aren't many coming in or they're all going to bigger spenders.
Seems nuts but it appears to be the way it is for now.
For reference purposes, does anyone know the circumference of Watchfinder's wrist?
Good review and great images. If offered at the same price, I'd pick the Daytona between the two shown here. Conversely, if the Tudor BB58 and Rolex Submariner (current iteration) were offered at the same price, I'd take the Tudor... comparing to the previous Sub, that would be a tough call but would likely go to the older Sub.
Great reviewer, storyteller and VOICE. A joy to watch these videos.
8:14 i own the 41mm bought it last year for my 30th anniversary, I totally agree with you that its too crisp and too shiny almost industrial when its new but if you wear it every like i do it will become more beautiful getting scratches and dents on everyday use, i hate to baby my watch and i will never polish it
Pls do a best chronograph money can buy in term of build, accuracy and price. My bet is the new zenith chronomaster sport el primero will come out on top, above a datograph
Guys please, get a Nivada Grenchen! I'm in love with those reissues.
I managed to get my hands on a Tudor panda after a 5 month wait. The AD must’ve liked me as they said it was the only one they’d seen! For me it beats the Daytona. A note about wrist size, I have very small wrists for a dude, but I have decent arm muscles and it looks great. So I kinda think all the wrist size stuff is nonsensical, it’s the arm size that makes the difference.
6:15 what's up with the date wheel there!?
I have been on the waitlist for this Tudor since it was released. They don't seem any more available than the Daytona.
Did you pay full retail price at front? Or just a deposit?
I would take an El Primero over either. But I also prefer a little more personality. I would probably go for the Tudor Heritage in Blue before the Black Bay Chrono.
Thanks, Watchfinder, nice video. Even if I could afford it, man I need the date function, Daytona would be out. Breitling Premier, Blackbay Chrono, Zenith Chronomaster Sport.
That Tudor Chronograph is probably my favorite Tudor watch along with the GMT
Would love to hear your thoughts about the Blancpain Air Command Limited Edition
I'll take the Tudor: same appreciation for high-end design and build (hey, movement was designed by Breitling, which works for me) with much less of the markup.
The watchmaker who create the movement b01 is the same person that create the movement in the daytona, just so you know
@@minhkhoinguyen88 So in the end, they're all related enough that it makes more sense to get a B01 or a MT5813 if panache isn't the goal.
@@brrrrr9999 yes , but the tudor is too thick for my liking, and bezel is aluminum, you can see how rolex as the company intent to reduce quality of tudor so that we never have the same watch as the daytona eventhough they can do us better, they look down on us, thats why I am now hate rolex and stay away from them although I started my watch hobby as a rolex collector, so stupid business practise by rolex, there are so many better brands now to buy when I start to look away from rolex and see the beauty of jlc, moser, grand seiko, vacheron
As a past owner of two Daytona's, I perfectly comfortable stating that the watch is hideous. Virtually illegible in all but the best lighting conditions, and only useful for banging in fence posts.
Are you bitter because you sold them before the prices went up?
@@TheRausing1 ...you mean last month?
Perhaps there is a touch of deja vu in this presentation -when I purchased my Tudor Submariner 76100 in the early '80's I remember looking at the Tudor 9420 (oyster case, date complication, automatic winding) and the Rolex Daytona ( manual wind watch with no date complication). The Tudor used a variation of the Valjoux 7750 while the Daytona used a Rolex modified Valjoux 727 (and adjusted to 3 positions?) . I recall the salesperson wondering out loud why the Rolex demanded such a premium (must have let his guard down as we were "talking watches" :^) ). The Tudor was rated pressure proof to 50M while the Daytona had been upgraded a few years prior (circa 1980) to 100m (from 50m I recall). As these were "drivers" or industrial engineer's watches the pressure rating seemed perfectly adequate.... The automatic movement Daytona arrived in the late '80s still without the date complication
I am a lucky owner of a Tudor BB Chrono panda. I will say, there are so many people out there who will never actually USE their expensive timepieces. Sure, they wear it for show, and there's nothing wrong with that...to each their own. I, on the other hand, am constantly checking the time, using the chrono, etc. It's part of what I do during the day for work and in my free time/hobbies.(I don't typically use my phone for that like many others might.) However, after wearing my BB Chrono for long periods of time, I've realized I could never own a Daytona. The date function puts the BB Chrono leaps ahead of a Daytona IMO. I'm reminded how essential the date function is, when I swap to a different watch in my rotation that doesn't have a date window. Not to say that watches without are worse or better. But, when it comes to the BB Chrono vs Daytona and all factors considered, I'd have to agree that the BB Chrono easily takes the cake on this one.
Excellent video, well fimed, narrated & edited.. makes me want the Tudor really bad now.
Terrific review. I bought the Tudor with the nato strap which is out of this world and makes the watch lighter and more comfortable. Not a huge fan of the Tudor bracelet and faux rivets. If only all Tudors came wit the new Pelagos or Ranger bracelet!
Trash talking rolex in a severe way in one video, then trying to sell rolex in the next video. Very bold indeed😂

Sadly the Tudor BB chrono is WAY to thicc.
Is the camera playing tricks on our eyes or is there a lot of flutter in that seconds hand? I mean a lot more than most. Those gears could be tighter or maybe its a camera frame rate issue?
I’ve owned the Tudor, picked it up 2 weeks after release. Very nice watch but wears large, I sold it for a £400 loss after 4 months.
I like the way he talks about these. Its so serious and professional how he explains as how the comet a size of Jupiter is headed towards the earth and he explains how Nasa managed to destroy with there latest ' Comet destroying Laser'
Great watches. I hope Tudor does not move to waiting lists on these. Also: is it my imagination but I seem to be seeing a slight judder every few seconds in the micro shots of the sweeping seconds hand?. Good vid. Keep at it!
The BB Chrono has a date...just saying.
I have this chrono and it is a magnificent watch. It does have a few flaws...the snowflake does cover the chrono dial...and you need to unscrew the pushers before you use the chrono...so the later solved the former for me...I just don't use the chrono very often.
The lack of a ceramic bezel...well, only because I don't want to scratch it.
The highly polished sides make it a scratch magnet...notice WF didn't show the sides!
The lack of a quick adjust bracelet.
The nearly impossible access from AD's, as this has been sold out immediately and has been so for well over a year and sells for about $2 above list.
Other than these few issues, the watch is nearly perfect. The distortion on the dial from the crystal is magnificent! The shallow dial shows off the hands much better...the timelesswatch channel does a wonderful job of showing this off. The dial luster is captivating in all light, but when sun hits the dial...wow..like fireworks!!! It wears awesome and is a joy to take a random glance at throughout the day.
Tudor for me stick the Daytona where the sun don’t shine 😊
Managed to get the non ceramic as it was getting discontinued, at a discount price. Got both metal and leather bracelet with the NATO they give with the watch. It's one of my fave watches to wear. I still want a Daytona tho no stopping on that one.
I got it in the same manner. Nobody will comment on this though. People hate the steel bezel version. Even at a discount we would lose if we sold. Nobody wants them now that there's Daytona knock offs.
But owning bb58
I realize it’s crown is slippery when winding
Hopefully it can be improved
I just got my Tudor Chronograph white dial. It’s a really nice piece.
The only Daytona I'm interested in is the platinum with the ice blue dial and the chestnut bezel. I'm a sucker for platinum.
What a rant....and it was WONDERFUL.
I wish I liked the hands on The Black Bay series. Great video!
Love that dial. Reminds me of some Zeniths from the mid 00s.
