I got mine with ALL the stickers, the factory carry case coffin (which are now cardboard not plastic) and even the bag that states the watch must be registered before handing over to the customer! This is a STUNNING watch, people complain about the thickness... its the only thing... and its not even that thick! It wears very well, not as nice as the 58, but very close! The reference to the Steve McQueen explorer is very valid, the main reason I wanted one as I'll never be able to afford the original... an no shame in that thought. Its made by the mothership... thats good enough for me.
Wow that's great - Your AD are looking after you! I totally agree it wears great even compared to the BB58 - Tudor have done a clever job hiding the height by chamfering the bottom of the case so it sits in your wrist as opposed to just plonked on top. This watch is a bargain compared to the explorers and every other Swiss watch circa the £3k mark. A watch to be worn and enjoyed rather than sat in a safe 🤣 Let me know if you ever put it on a strap - Would be glad to see what works for it. Enjoy wearing it and thanks for watching!
@@wristshotter7832 for you to allow the AD to remove anything from YOUR watch shows, one how desperately you need the watch and two what else are you prepared to suffer through to get one TUDOR does not have anything to do with Rolex anymore, at all, they are not a sister company They only thing that Tudor has to do with Rolex is that 70years ago the founder of Rolex started Tudor and used off the shelf parts in some Tudors the crown,the case,and parts of the straps, so please stop with all the ROLEX rubbish

Tried this on with the hybrid leather strap on a 6.7” wrist and it was fine. The thickness was not an issue for me. Anybody contemplating the purchase of this just needs to go see one in the flesh and try it on.
Great review and comparison! I've got the same BB58 and in two days I may pick up the Pro as well. The AD called me because they just received one. The plan is to compare it 'in the flesh' with the BB58 and to see whether it has enough distinction and added value next to the BB58. In fact that's what you've done here already. Thanks! Big chance I'll buy the Pro.
Wow that's awesome - I think they have only just started being delivered to the UK. I think demand is already far outstripping supply as the piece is one of their best releases to date. Have you tried it out on any straps? If so how does it wear? Thanks for watching!
Hey Robert, they're starting to come through more now and quite a few are available on the preowned market like ebay for less than list. Have you got one since?
This watch is nothing less than incredible. I don't get the thick discussion. It's size it perfect and the most comfortable watch I own. I have 15 watches and this is by far the most comfortable. It's the only watch I want to wear now I love it so much.
Hey James, thanks for watching and commenting! I agree I think the size and thickness is absolutely fine 👌 I've recently put mine on a jubilee and I'm loving it - It's super comfy now! Check out my vid on it. 15 is a great collection - What other pieces do you have?
What’s the size of your Tudor Pro man ? It looks bigger on your 7 inch wrist man ! I’ve tried the new 39 mm Tudor Pro and think it’s smaller man ! Have a 6.75 inch’s wrist
Hey Dude, it's 39mm as well. My videos are generally quite close up so the watches do look a little bigger. Also wrists despite measurements can look different - Some are boney and others fatter so it's always a little deceiving giving a wrist measurement. It's a similar thing with watches - Some 42mm wear like a 41mm and vice versa - It's often the dial size and colour that dictates how big a watch looks on your wrist - An MM300 which is 44mm doesn't look like it due the small dial which is also black. My SMP300 42mm looks huge on my wrist with a white dial, I've changed the bracelet to a Forstner bullet with a nice taper which has helped reduce the size of it. Same with the BB Pro, I've put a jubilee on it and it now articulates better around my wrist. Also case profile - Slab sides make a watch look bigger as well. The list is never ending lol. Hope this helps :)

Should buy a camera man ! Love it should buy it but was on for the “Pepsi “ by the way man bit unprofessional putting the manual’s , warranty etc on top of the watch man ! It should be on bottom were the watch sit’s , mine had all the stickers only the one on the Cristal was removed, guess got buy that one but only next year! Paid 4.440€ brand new some gifts 🎁 no discount them AD at least have nice Tudor gifts even gave me a Wolf case 💯👌
Hey Jedi, hmmm... You might but I'd recommend considering fitting an aftermarket jubilee as that will reduce the heft of it and might improve the balance. It's not a cheap watch, so I'd suggest before taking the plunge trying one on from a local AD as they're readily available. The BB54 would definitely work with your wrist if that helps and works really well. Another fine piece I'd recommend for a 6"+ wrist are the Zenith El Primero A384 reeditions - Amazing watch and works well on 6" - 7.25" wrists. Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the measurements!!!. I was looking exaclty for that comparison!! :)

Hey Jasja - Thanks for watching and for your kind words. How did you get on at the AD? Did you find them different enough? Did you take the plunge? 😎
I took the plunge!
fully agree with the thickness points of yours. I (too) had doubts firsts until I tried it with the bracelet.
Great video 👍 I have the 2 liner Pelagos and BB58 blue so this was a great comparison for me
I just bough my black bay chrono panda, but this black bay pro is so attractive. I like the vintage style and the yellow gmt hand 😊 great watch 👍
I got mine two months ago ,l love this watch

I had the nato one , and I don’t find it thick
Very good review! Would love to own one of these however I’m sure that there will be long waiting lists at the AD’s.
Hey Robert, they're starting to come through more now and quite a few are available on the preowned market like ebay for less than list. Have you got one since?
I just wish they would stop these damn fake riveted bracelets

I’ve got one on it’s way to me I think Tudor really did the 1655 justice with this one why got all the details right
What do you think about the Pro’s female end link not dropping down like on the 58?
Also the sub takes a lot of its dial design elements from the early blancpains

How much heavier is the BB Pro vs 58 please? Thanks!
It’s relative but the pro is understandably more top heavy imho.
Should buy a camera man !

I have a 6 inch wrist, do you think i can pull this off?
