I just got mine from an AD and I absolutely love it. The case back sinks into my wrist which makes it feel thinner, the t slot bracelet is amazing and the watch is sooooo pretty.
I was about to pick up a GS SBGN003, but this BBPRO has me reconsidering. The 9F yields a much thinner watch, but I'm struggling spending that much on a quartz reference. Maybe I need to try this Tudor before buying the GS.
I bought one as soon as it came out. It's the same thickness as my Tudor Black Bay Ceramic. I was aware of the dimensions when I bought it but was willing to give it a try. It's not too thick for me on my 18.5 CM wrist, and the watch is not too heavy either. Great movement, great clasp, great look. I have to keep it... it's on the cusp but on the comfortable side.
I have 17cm wrist and a great collection spanning from 39mm to 42mm (including the BB58), all below 48mm lug to lug and all above 9/10 on the “wrist presence satisfaction” scale. I thought this watch would wear thick but tried it at the AD and it wears amazing, I didn’t notice the thickness at all. I almost bought it but I have the Explorer II 16570 and if felt redundant. Nice footage, it looks flawless on you.
Great watch ! looking forward to your full review, insterested to hear how it feels on wrist after a few days. Also would like to see it next to the ranger :-)
I tried one in my ad and really for me the thickness is not an issue if u think about it the glass add like 1or 2 mm and so the case back and the case back disappears when u have it on so what shows on hand is probably 12 or 13mm which is fine…
Mate I love your channel. This review is great. Loving the whole style of the channel to be fair. Keep it up and your channel will grow massively in the future. Good luck and thanks.
@@backintimewatches I'm being serious mate. I always go back to your reviews while I'm saving for my next watch. The new Speedy review you done was great. The passion in the video was great. I'm gonna love this BBPro video while I'm saving for one now ha. All the best. Enjoy the rest of your week. Carl
It's way more balanced than the GMT. I weighed up (pun intended) the two and Pro wore so much nicer. I wanted to like the GMT more, I really did. Pro doesen't leave my wrist at all.
Great review, thanks! Tried the BB Pro at a local AD. I have smaller wrists than you, but the Pro felt oddly proportioned compared to the 42mm S&G that I was wearing. I still love the looks, though, and perhaps I'll get over it! The solution is a 16570, but, man still so expensive.
I felt the same when i tried it on at my local AD. That being said. You seem to have a larger wrist than me and I think the watch fits you really well. I think you should keep it. 100%
I think it looks great on your wrist and I tried it on at my AD and I think I’m going to pull the trigger and pick it up I love the large size. I own a Breitling Superocean Steelfish XL 45mm x 16mm thick and heavy as hell.
Wow what a stunning watch. I love everything about the design, apart from the thickness. I would love them to make this exact watch in the BB58 Case (ofc without the GMT Movement then, but maybe with a yellow seconds hand?) I doubt that will ever happen though. By the way, did you see that San Martin already made a Homage of this watch? it comes with a 12.5mm thickness but with vintage yellow lume (which I don’t like at all)
Actually this looks perfect on your wrist. I advise you to wear it for some weeks and decide. No point in going with the thickness discussion. It is what it is. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
I am laughing over here I appreciate your honesty and candor about it not being your first impressions glad to see you post I hadn't seen anything in a while if you get time check out my homage battle and let me know what you think
Looks so nice in pictures but the thickness really ruined it for me. It's a shame, I love old explorers but they feels almost half as thick in comparison.
I tried one on with hybrid strap , bought and returned, strap no that comfortable at all, watch dimension on straps looks disproportional, maybe if would have kept it if were on a bracelet.
Sorry you feel that way. Well, there are a lot of watch channels out there without any tattoos so I bet you’ll find some great content either way 👍 But thanks for watching and commenting 😊🙏

Looks perfect on your wrist imo!

I think Tudor nailed the aesthetic of this watch.

I'm still waiting for mine, but I had one on my wrist several times and it felt good!

It looks fantastic, my issue isn't the thickness , the fixed bezel is my issue .

Yeah, the 16570 is almost unobtainable 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching 🙏

This looks amazing, would love to try it on. Seems perfect on your wrist as well!
Thanks for another great video :)

It's 39mm😂
nice! It is thick, but not anything extreme like I thought when I saw the specs for first time. Looks fine in the flesh.

If you only could keep one of watch: The Speedmaster or this, which would you choose? Sjukt bra kanal btw!
Beautiful watch!
Thank you for your take on the BB Pro. Did you sell the previous watches that you bought from the AD for the same/higher/lower price?
What size is your wrist?? Looks awesome!!!
Love your videos. Btw, it's "without further ado" ;-)

Looks like money on your wrist, really classy look Bro, I love i
I love the looks, I just dont like the proportions. Would prefer 42mm for this thickness.
This or ranger?! I have a BB
Den är grym! Använder min Rolex Deepsea varje dag. Stör mig inte på tjockleken :)

Between this and Pepsi GMT, which one would you recommend?
Go with what you prefer most ☺️ after all it is going to be your Watch
Two time zones is plenty to track.
Absolutely 👍
Thickness is an issue indeed. It’s maybe not TOO think in its own, but combined with the small 39mm case I geel it is too thick for me
I tried one on with hybrid strap , bought and returned, strap no that comfortable at all, watch dimension on straps looks disproportional, maybe if would have kept it if were on a bracelet.
Don’t force it…..get an explorer 2
The tattoos are distracting with that watch, or any watch for that matter.
Sorry you feel that way. Well, there are a lot of watch channels out there without any tattoos so I bet you’ll find some great content either way 👍
But thanks for watching and commenting 😊🙏
@@backintimewatches it’s not the tats. No problem there.., it’s just distracting looking at a watch with all that colorful ink in the back ground lol.
lol boy its not thick beast . it look fit your average wrist
Don’t know how average 20cm wrist is but thank you my friend 😊
