YM that looks like a Sub and TT SD that looks like a Sub

At least the Tudor is a Seiko homage :lol:

I guess you’ve made to the top of the watch world when Tudor does an homage to your work

Hopefully there will be (much) more tomorrow

Are these legit or are they just RPR speculation? RPR has a history of speculating on new releases and then crowing when they happen to get one right.

But this is right before Basel, so maybe these are real.

If so, I am underwhelmed (and, in the case of the Tudor SKX, kind of horrified).

Yeah. That dude comes across as a douche on his IG. Amazing watches though.

And I hope there’s more. I like the YM and the Jubilee Batman. The rest is garbage.

Yuck. RPR is a speculation website, but he sometimes has insider info. Hope these are all just speculation though.

As much as I liked last year's Tudor GMT, that's how much I dislike this one. It's awful.

Apparently, there may be some historical precedence for the Tudor SKX. There are some threads out there about a Rolex or Tudor model 1690 which, depending on what you read, is either a prototype that was developed for the US Navy but never produced, or a hoax.

I'm actually excited to see this new line-up. This means I'll have more money to spend on the boat or golf clubs or really anything other than these watches.

That Tudor “Sub” would actually make sense. From the archives, possibly never produced, deeper rehaut as seen on the teaser IG shot.

I'd just like to see the large black bay with the small black bay's thickness.

That’s the Bucherer Black Bay Bronze Blue Edition, but with a dark leather strap. It’s a SE for the store. No way they are making it regular production.

This one is also from the Rolexpassionreport, we will have to wait until tomorrow (probably) to know for sure... but the pictures look to be from a catalog, and we have seen similar catalog pictures for unreleased Seiko watches in the past.

To your comment, that would suck for Bucherer!

Well, the good news is there won't be any shortage of these and you won't have to beg your AD to sell you one

Honestly, the only thing I like from what RPR has posted is the BLNR on the jubilee, and that's hardly anything innovative. The TT SD looks fine, but the SD isn't supposed to be made with precious metal. The Yacht Master is a meh for me, and the other two Rolex models are ridiculous.

The Tudor stuff is universally boring and/or horrid. At this point, I think Tudor would put snowflake hands on a turd.

Again, assuming the RPR post is accurate.
