These are cool, but I would not purchase it with the Red Bull branding on the rehaut. A bit too cheesy unless you were super into that team and sport. The collab branding should have gone on the caseback, if anywhere.
I’m with you (and I am a big Tudor fanboy - 3 and counting) - love the look but I’m not a water enthusiast so the fix lugs are a no for me too. Love the red seconds hand. Imagine this with removable lugs and a matching carbon bracelet and a blue rubber strap. Easy buy.
Haha. On a more serious note - I kind of agree. You don't want to lose the watch when diving. When sailing ...much more chance of getting caught in stuff moving on the boat. That's why it's kinda pointless having the military style designed dive FXD as a sailing watch!
Interesting point about the watch getting caught in the rigging. It seems highly unlikely that would happen, but if it did, wouldn't the velcro give way? The other benefit of the velcro is that it is super easy to release it one-handed since you don't have to fiddle with a tang buckle. These watches seem very utilitarian.
No doubt there will be long waiting lists and prices above retail on the secondary market ...but honestly, these models just don't come close to the original Tudor FXD. I'm a dive watch purist and these new models just seem a bit too gimmicky ...too "pop" - which is exactly the opposite of what the solid pure FXD is supposed to represent. Colours and aesthetics - the original FXD is just the best.
Definitely a collab - Red Bull and Alinghi on the rehaut. I’d like to see the carbon composite (assuming it holds up) used on a new BB. And like the red seconds hand. A touch of red (tip or the flake) on the seconds hand of one BB would be a nice add.
Tudor's movements are nice... I can't seem to like carbon cases. I find them interesting and I am interested but I find I don't want one. Looks very nice though. Also I do like the pump pushers, not the screw down pushers that really do stop you wanting to use the chromo.
42 for tudor wears smaller?? I would say it's the opposite. my OG pelagos 42 sits like a hockey puck on my wrist because of the slab side and thickness.
5k for a Chrono without sub seconds between 10 and 2. " I'd like to tell you your lap time, but I can't because I bought this over priced plastic POS". The Subswatch.
Haha! Yeah! He is def grabbing for content. The FXD is designed to serve a specific purpose. It does not need to fit under a cuff nor does it need a bracelet. 😂
I couldn’t care less about who the watch sponsors. I hate the strap. I don’t want any strap that goes under the watch. I do like the case. I have a Tudor. I have no desire to buy another.
Not a fan of the new release vs the MN version in 21,22, & 23. This should have been a military issue line of watches. Instead they did yacht racing. Oh umm well ok whatever. Pass

It says Master Chronometer on that movement, not COSC.
7:35 this is where things turned really dark really quick 😂

Tudor FXD, for when you are dying to keep hold of your watch 😂
Idk, speak for yourself boys but as a Navy Seal I need my watch…no I’m just kidding 😀
Great haircut and thanks for the good laugh with your comment about getting caught in the rigging and going down with the watch 😂
That strap option is my biggest refrain for buying it. Not only it is thicker but also looks several times very cheap. Just my opinion
The shaved head is way better than the weird porcupine hair you had before.
Thanks

Agreed. Don't like underpass straps. Fixed springbars suck.
Awesome hair cut John P!
I like it except for the red bull branding
Adding the red to the dial is a nice touch. I wonder if salt water will destroy the strap or make the color fade prematurely.
No way do I want 'Red Bull' written on my watch, and the missing sub second markers on the Chrono are simply bizarre!
I agree. Screw in bars a la Panerai makes more sense.

I'm with you there Phino...
Great perspective. Thank you.

Because everyone hates this today it will be a good investment for tomorrow. It will be limited and and few will be sold
Looking good….i just went skin fade for the summer too.
Love the new Haircut 😛
New hair suits you well
Thank you
To many other nicer options at that PP. do like how you threw in “Rolex Family” maybe to make it more appealing?
I like them but the fixed lugs would be an adjustment. Your hair looks good! I cut mine that short not by choice…
Tudor's movements are nice... I can't seem to like carbon cases. I find them interesting and I am interested but I find I don't want one. Looks very nice though. Also I do like the pump pushers, not the screw down pushers that really do stop you wanting to use the chromo.
Love the Color scheme, but fixed bars and black case are not for me.
That chrono looks VERY much like the older zenith rainbow chronograph

Then your wrist is too small for it. Try the BB54.
There is nothing hockey puck about the Pelagos lol
The BB Pro could be described as that, but not the Pelagos.
South Florida weather temp 84, feels like 94, humidity 88% John P, blazer 😂
I wish they would engrave the Rehault on all Tudor’s
good new look, just like you escaped from rehab

Sorry man sounds like you’re just winging it and not really knowledgeable on watches in general. Thanks for the vid

I thought it was Teddy again. I swear I can't tell these two guys apart.
Yeah I understand but it just not tickle my pickle
Is it just me, or John P himself doesn't sound very convinced that he really likes it. He seems to be really struggling to find words.

Those lugs are unfortunate. That’s the only thing I dislike about these.
At the same time that's one of the main reason why the FXD is so popular. I love it.
And the problem is its cheap crap case and strap for the money thats it right there
Lol, coming from people who can’t pronounce any loanword remotely correctly unless the loanword is from French.
Doxa is a microbrand? LMAO WTF dude?
Awful, diver for racing?
Yacht racing, so water resistance is important
Not a fan of this new release. A chronograph on a GMT? Ridiculous.
These will flop for sure.
Ummm....🤔
“Chronograph on a GMT …”
Go back to sleep. 😊
