Not a big collector here. But I ordered a BB58 about 3 years ago. Waited patiently untill I got the call from the dealer about a year ago. When I went there they had the white panda chrono there as well. After wearing it for a few minutes I ordered one and am waiting again....
I didn’t expect to ever buy a Tudor but the reverse panda was one of the most beautiful watches I’d ever seen. Had to get it :) Teddy this video was great! Incredible script, insight and b-roll.
@R A no it's not. That's what someone who doesn't know what they are talking about or has eaten for breakfast all the marketing Rolex has done and has an enlarged ego. By the way I have multiple Rolex watches and I don't see Tudor as the poor man's watch. I have this new Tudor on order too. You should be happy that people can all enjoy different brands at different price points without dusting off that ever so original phrase you posted.
@R A Got news for you bro, Tudor is putting out some of the most gorgeous watches over the last few years...poor man's Rolex? I think not....that's quite a pretentious thought process.
Teddy the best part of your videos is your ability to look at brands the are in a price range most people can afford. Your reviews of such brands like Tudor, IWC, Hamilton, Grand Seiko etc that are overlooked because of higher end brands. Even when you shopped with Mr Wonderful you looked at some excellent choices at affordable prices. Because of your reviews I purchased a Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT and love this watch. Keep up the great work.
Agree. I own a DateJust I bought new in 1992 and wore everyday for 25+ years. I love this watch Teddy is reviewing here and tracked one down last week. It’s a major home run if you have a larger wrist IMHO.
My assumption of someone that buys a Rolex these days is that they bought on the secondary market because ADs don't sell any diver rolexes in their retail stores anymore.
Picked up the Reverse Panda 2 days ago. That’s my wrist beautifully, and really is a stunning time peace. And then two days, it has gained only one second.That’s pretty damn good accuracy so far!
Measurements, lots of talk of measurements on this one, remember thickness is at the max point in the centre of the domed crystal, it's nowhere near as big to wear as the measurements suggest because the bezel rises to the crystal and the crystal rises to the shoulder then the centre. Compared to a Pelagos it feels petite.
I purchased the Panda the day after release date. I was so fortunate since they only had one at the retailer that was sent by Tudor. Couldn’t be happier. Don’t tell my wife 😂
@@anabohueles2243 Congrats Ana! Best watch under €5’000?! I would rather say best watch under any price point! Why would anyone spend more (usually at least double the price) if you can get this beauty for such a reasonable price with that outstanding package it offers?! This is both a fantastic emotional and rational decision at once.
Picked one up yesterday in white! Beautiful watch and exactly what my collection needed. I have a modern Rolex and this thing 100% matches the build quality. I have a small/medium wrist and it sits very nicely too!
This is the best video I have seen on these new chronos. I personally would go with the black dial version. I think this watch offers a relatively fair value for the money.
Great video! I actually got to play with the black dial at my local AD today. While I really like the way they look and think the B01 movement is magnificent, its a big, thick watch that probably won’t be for folks with smaller wrists. If this was a 40mm / 13mm thick piece, it would be a perfect watch and I would probably buy one.
This is probably my favorite release from W&W 2021. The black dial is very nice, super legible. Considering the specs the price is pretty good in my opinion.
Great choice! I got one of these myself and it’s a stunner! The silver subcounters match elegantly with the stainless steel case and bracelet. Both versions are extremely nice but I prefer the reverse Panda even a bit more.
I really like the new loom of this watch. I think these two are going to be good sellers for Tudor. I am thinking of purchasing the white panda, it is stunning. I think the reduction in case thickness was a great move by Tudor.
Had a Tudor BB purchased in 2010, didn't get too much wrist time subsequently traded in and purchased a Planet Ocean. This one I do like along with the Zenith Chronograph.
A great review Teddy, I didn't realize I needed (yet) another chronograph until Tudor released these. My head says go for the reverse Panda for its instant readability and better depth with the more obvious dished sub dials but my heart is looking at the Panda. Decisions.... decisions... money.... money. I think I need to sleep on any purchase decision a while.
Bought the Panda version and I fell in love with it right away. I think it was a great piece and would consider it the baby brother of the Daytona. I was lucky to get it since the dealer was only sent one Panda.
As someone who wears the Black Blue Blue 41, I welcome and applaud the reduction in thickness in this release. My only regret is waiting a few days to learn more about this watch before talking to my AD... now I wait for my panda. Thanks for a solid hands-on look at this watch.
Great video. I love the standard panda version of this watch! I have the same size wrist as you, so the size is pushing it, but I have an ETA Black Bay red from 2015 and feel that I actually pull it off fine. This time around, though, I've given my wallet a bit of a break and just bought the Hamilton Intra Matic Chrono, which is also a stunner at less than half the price. Though not in the same league, there is something about the Hammy that pulled me in and keeps me staring at it. For this year's Tudor releases, I have my eye on the silver dial Black Bay 36, which is also pulling me in and would fit my wrist perfectly.
Great options from Tudor! Breitling announced some great offering from their Premier Heritage line! The Premier B09 Chronograph 40 looks great with the pistachio green dial. I look forced to seeing a review 👍 Keep up the great work!
Just got the panda. I also have a white 116500. Love both! My only Tudor, probably won’t buy another. This watch called to me though. Your videos are beautiful. Love them. Thank you so much!
I asked my AD about the Panda today and he told me that I am the first person to ask about this watch in that particular store. He is going to let me know when it comes in. I was considering the Omega Speedmaster Racing co axial, but the Tudor is very similar and at about approximately $2000 cheaper I think I'll buy it. If I get buyers remorse I'll just sell it on and recoup my investment.
Question for anyone familiar with this watch: Does the large second hand ever stop and have to be restarted or will it run continuously as long as the watch has power. I only ask because I have a couple of chronographs that stop at noon on the hour and you have to press the 2 o clock button to restart it.
Ok... I WANT TO LOVE THESE - and in theory I do! I love the way they look, I love the dials, I love the thickness..... BUT it's much too big to wear! I'll wear some bigger watches as well! But just that weeeee bit too big! Looks amazing in photos though! So freaking sporty.
I bought a black bay chrono last March & simply love the look of the watch. I tried various watches including Rolex Omega etc but Tudor style was allot better
Both are beautiful watches. However, for me the Panda’s white hands and dial doesn’t make it the easiest watch for glancing the time. Also the snowflake hour hand can obscure the chronograph’s sub dials, making them impossible to read.
I got one of the very first ones when they came out, with leather strap. Amazing accuracy: +0.20 sec/day with chronometer engaged ( I like the long second hand to run). Strap lasted only 2 years, but local strap maker made a stronger and nicer looking one using the original clasp for about 75% less than the Tudor original one. Great watch, and a bargain actually.
Thanks Teddy, good review! I recently got a S&G version of this watch and it's an absolute treat to wear (same exact case dimensions). The movement is running +/- 1 sec per day after the couple of days break-in period. An under-the radar Daytona cousin with the same or better specs and quality from the same brand family, only with Date! for 1/6th the market price of its older cousin! Go figure...
Was going to get a Rolex for my 50th been sometime since I had a nice watch. After visiting my local AD I was taken back I had to register my interest etc and go on a list to obtain a watch. I watched a video when these were released and ordered one straight away love this watch looks and feels fantastic. Also ordered the new Zerowest H1 watch which I'm super excited to receive worth searching for a video to watch on these bad boys limited number available also can't wait to get it.
While using chronograph function, when I reset it, sometimes the minute chrono hand stops at 1 min. mark instead of 0 mark. And sometimes while starting chrono, the min. chrono hand moves to 1 min. mark straightaway when chrono is started. Is this a common issue? Any suggestions for this problem or it needs Service Centre attention?
How does the Chronograph work? It looks like the 3 o’clock dial goes to 45. Does this mean that it only times up to 45 minutes? This seems strange when other Chronographs such as Breitlings time up to 12 hours.
i bought the black one at retail price. i think i have been buying too many watches. just January, i bought a rolex datejust 41 blue fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet. and last year bought a Ball Icebreaker Arabic. This one is truly value for money with excellent quality and power reserve of 80 hours.
I’m so compelled by this watch that I’m almost reconsidering aspiring to it instead of a speedy as my grail watch. I love my Tudor black bay so much I wouldn’t mind adding another to the collection.
Got mine on order , not sure how long I have to wait as the AD didn’t want to over promise, but he said the orders were flying in , just goes to show if you hit the right spot the watch public jump on it , well done Tudor , I went for the panda 🐼
I have an odd question, and maybe naive, but I've never owned one of these. If the running chronograph goes beyond the 45 marker does it continue to run? Just want to know for timing events beyond 45 minutes. For example 15 = 60 minutes, etc.
Always find it surprising how many watch brands treat typography like an afterthought. Seems they have used Myriad and Arial, two of the default computer system fonts. It’s not hard to do better. IWC also started to replace their Helvetica numerals with custom ones on the Mark 18.
Not a big collector here. But I ordered a BB58 about 3 years ago. Waited patiently untill I got the call from the dealer about a year ago. When I went there they had the white panda chrono there as well. After wearing it for a few minutes I ordered one and am waiting again....
I picked up the panda today as my first luxury time piece and I am so so happy with it. Tudor are flying!!
how is it after a year?
@@sahilkhurana_ I still absolutely love it and it still looks brand new!!
I'm thinking of buying it. I find that its a bit big though. Is it worth it it is a bloody beautiful watch
Depends on how big you're wrist is. Mine are small but the Panda looks so good,it feels substantial.
Definitely a home run for Tudor. I'm leaning toward the black dial.
I tried it on and it's so damn nice
I didn’t expect to ever buy a Tudor but the reverse panda was one of the most beautiful watches I’d ever seen. Had to get it :) Teddy this video was great! Incredible script, insight and b-roll.
Thanks for the comment, Chris! Enjoy the new watch buddy! Great choice!
Is the reverse panda the white or black face
@R A no it's not. That's what someone who doesn't know what they are talking about or has eaten for breakfast all the marketing Rolex has done and has an enlarged ego.

I'd like to live in a world where "most people can afford" a Tudor or an IWC.
I hate that most watch newbies think that people who buys Tudor means that they can't afford a Rolex.
This watch is simply stunning.
Agree. I own a DateJust I bought new in 1992 and wore everyday for 25+ years. I love this watch Teddy is reviewing here and tracked one down last week. It’s a major home run if you have a larger wrist IMHO.
I think it’s funny when people assume this, only to realize later my collection is valued over $2 million with several 6 figure pieces.
My assumption of someone that buys a Rolex these days is that they bought on the secondary market because ADs don't sell any diver rolexes in their retail stores anymore.
Spot on. I bought the Tudor panda at the same time as I bought a DJ41. The panda is sexy beast of a watch. I absolutely love it.
I own vintage Rolexes and I love that Tudor is sporting the style that made Rolex Professional Series the watches they were in the 70’s,80’s and 90’s.
Picked up the Reverse Panda 2 days ago. That’s my wrist beautifully, and really is a stunning time peace. And then two days, it has gained only one second.That’s pretty damn good accuracy so far!
You're one of the few that has the accurate measurements for this new model. Subscribed. Always great content.
Measurements, lots of talk of measurements on this one, remember thickness is at the max point in the centre of the domed crystal, it's nowhere near as big to wear as the measurements suggest because the bezel rises to the crystal and the crystal rises to the shoulder then the centre.

Got my reverse panda a day after they released it. Never gotten a watch so fast
My local AD also had a reverse Panda the day after release, but I passed it on since I want the Panda so still waiting...
I ordered a panda yesterday, best watch under 5000€ in my opinion, can't wait to put it on😻
I purchased the Panda the day after release date. I was so fortunate since they only had one at the retailer that was sent by Tudor. Couldn’t be happier. Don’t tell my wife 😂
Congrats man! Beautiful timepiece!
@@anabohueles2243 Congrats Ana! Best watch under €5’000?! I would rather say best watch under any price point!

My wrist is small but it wears fine. Very satisfying

Relatively fair value for money? I’d rather say exceptional value for money! Anything nearly comparable cost at least 3’000 bucks more!
Great video! I actually got to play with the black dial at my local AD today. While I really like the way they look and think the B01 movement is magnificent, its a big, thick watch that probably won’t be for folks with smaller wrists.

This is probably my favorite release from W&W 2021. The black dial is very nice, super legible. Considering the specs the price is pretty good in my opinion.
The black dial is a gorgeous timepiece! It’s simply sensational!
Already have my chrono panda. Ad called me the day after she received it. It’s even nicer in person
Wow thats great! congrats you must be a high value customer. My AD said it'll be at least a 6 month wait but most likely a year.
I think I would go with the reverse black dial Panda just for legibility.
Great choice! I got one of these myself and it’s a stunner! The silver subcounters match elegantly with the stainless steel case and bracelet. Both versions are extremely nice but I prefer the reverse Panda even a bit more.
No one using watches to tell time anymore noob
My fav watch channel talking about my fav watch of W&W 2021! Outstanding!😁👌
Picked mine Reverse Panda on 4/11. Really impressive watch. Great video.
4:11 I came here for the wrist shots. Wasn't disappointed! Thanks Ted.
Picked up my panda today at the AD so hyped man. Thanks for your videos!
How can you take chronographic measurements when the snowflake covers the subdial?
I have a Black Bay Chrono it is just an awesome watch. Glad to see Tudor continuing to excel.
Watch givaway form link doesnt allow you to fill in??

If this watch had a clear back / display case, it’s would be perfect 😍
Is that crystal zoom and distorting near the boundaries normal in other watches at certain angles?
Does the seconds hand is vibrating or is it the vedio?
My head says get the black dial reverse panda for legibility, but my heart will always desire the white dial panda.
Great options from Tudor! Breitling announced some great offering from their Premier Heritage line! The Premier B09 Chronograph 40 looks great with the pistachio green dial. I look forced to seeing a review 👍 Keep up the great work!
Just got the panda. I also have a white 116500. Love both! My only Tudor, probably won’t buy another. This watch called to me though.
Your videos are beautiful. Love them. Thank you so much!
Hi , could you guys give me some opinion of choosing this one or zenith chronomaster sport, which one do you prefer?
Excellent review as usual Teddy, I prefer the black dial too 😍
BB Chronos or Speedmaster?
I asked my AD about the Panda today and he told me that I am the first person to ask about this watch in that particular store. He is going to let me know when it comes in. I was considering the Omega Speedmaster Racing co axial, but the Tudor is very similar and at about approximately $2000 cheaper I think I'll buy it.

Is the white dial a full lume? It ought to be a fully lumed dial with black hands and black indices .
Question for anyone familiar with this watch: Does the large second hand ever stop and have to be restarted or will it run continuously as long as the watch has power. I only ask because I have a couple of chronographs that stop at noon on the hour and you have to press the 2 o clock button to restart it.

Just got the call from my AD!!! Picking it up tomorrow!!!!
Is the back covered? Also, are the bands a quick change?
I bought a black bay chrono last March & simply love the look of the watch. I tried various watches including Rolex Omega etc but Tudor style was allot better
The reverse Panda looks better. Will get that one. Thanks for the video.
I have the Panda, its a matter of preference. The Pandas have been all the rage & harder to find in general. I want both,I'm greedy!
would the BB Chrono bracelet fit the Tudor GMT?
Isane bokeh in the b-roll, which lens are you using?
Really love the black one. Hope to get one eventually.
Would you get this over the ck2998 LE?
I feel like the panda markers and hands should’ve been boldly outlined in black for legibility and contrast, how did they overlook that??
Thx Teddy. Could you do a comparison with Hamilton's Intra-Matic?
Both are beautiful watches. However, for me the Panda’s white hands and dial doesn’t make it the easiest watch for glancing the time. Also the snowflake hour hand can obscure the chronograph’s sub dials, making them impossible to read.

Good video ! Can someone have the name of the song at the begining ? Thank you !
Great overview and detailed analysis. I wonder your thoughts on how it compares to the Zenith chrono (i.e. Zaytona)?
How much does it weigh on the bracelet?
Black dial chrono and the bb58 1st release model on a nato strap is the perfect colection. Those 2 are all u need...
I was a little upset with the second markers that wasnt aligned at some shots! 🤣 great video and great explanation of the watch !
Love my new chronograph 🐼. Waited 6 months for AD to call me. As Teddy mentioned, stopwatch has firm click to start, stop, & reset.
I saw this is a shop window yesterday and was caught my eye instantly.
Reminds me a lot of the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph, but £2.5k cheaper!
Probably the nicest looking Tudor
would you buy this or wait a little longer for a 40mm airking teddy?
I ordered the Panda dial. Can't wait!
Thanks Teddy, good review! I recently got a S&G version of this watch and it's an absolute treat to wear (same exact case dimensions).

Sorry what’s a S&G version? Interested because sounds like cheaper…
As usual a superb review ..thanks you for that !
Is it heavy?I owned the regular BB not chrono and sold it after 1 month because the weight isn’t comfortable for wearing all day
Great viedeo👍i am missing the anti reflective glass☹️
That Panda is my new grail... although I'd prefer a ceramic bezel insert.
I bought the 925 BB. Waiting patiently for it to arrive at the AD
Great choice! Got to try it on when I picked up my Chrono.
The panda is definitely the better looking watch imo. Wasn’t going to get a Tudor but I just might now
The pink version is amazing
Was going to get a Rolex for my 50th been sometime since I had a nice watch. After visiting my local AD I was taken back I had to register my interest etc and go on a list to obtain a watch.

You know the Certina DS Blue Ribbon Chronograph? So sad that it's not in the Certina website anymore.
Got mine on order , not sure how long I have to wait as the AD didn’t want to over promise, but he said the orders were flying in , just goes to show if you hit the right spot the watch public jump on it , well done Tudor , I went for the panda 🐼
The best Tudors I have ever seen....but Longines offers a column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch at an even better price...
6.75 inch wrist here. Not happy w the 22mm lug width. Had they kept the 20mm this would have been a much more versatile watch.
Well done as always!
I like it. Just wish it was a little smaller
The panda 🐼 makes a very good looking summer piece 👌
Just scooped the reverse. Stoked. Gonna be the new daily driver. Can’t wait.
Bought my panda today and love it. Wears ok on my 7” wrist
The new silver black bay is favourite , the case colour is really eye catching.
gorgeous 2 year allocation wait
Great info on the height!
I have an odd question, and maybe naive, but I've never owned one of these. If the running chronograph goes beyond the 45 marker does it continue to run? Just want to know for timing events beyond 45 minutes. For example 15 = 60 minutes, etc.
Beautiful watches, great video. Thanks!
Immediately loved it. Ordered the white face panda.
will they be available ad ADs? Surely not.
Have to preorder this. Getting mine in dec.
Same time with my hd8xx
Always find it surprising how many watch brands treat typography like an afterthought. Seems they have used Myriad and Arial, two of the default computer system fonts. It’s not hard to do better. IWC also started to replace their Helvetica numerals with custom ones on the Mark 18.
What a beauty! I got a question to other watch maniacs though. This or Tag Monaco (cal 02)?
