Looks like a condom to keep your Sub dry.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
It has a cyclops, so I'm sad.
Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
I saw an enhanced image on TRF and it appears to be a sports model too. I'll say either a revised or larger SD or a colored dial Sub.matt.wu wrote:It has a cyclops, so I'm sad.
I guess we can hope for a Sub-c with a revised lug profile like the SD4k.
I really wanted to see a modern Milsub type watch, but I'm surely not in the target demographic.
Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
I really hope they didn't put a cyclops on a new/anniversary version of the SD.

I think it's an up sized Turn o Graph.
Has anyone seen the awful Tudor BB Chronograph? It looks like ass.

May or may not be real. But it's real ugly.
On edit: It's looking more real

That bezel doesn't look like a diver to me. It does, however, appear to have very very faint fluting showing through. I think it's a TOG.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
Wtf is up with Tudor asking someone to delete a pic that looks like it is directly from their catalogue? I'd tell them to pound sand. And that looks pretty awful if that is the final version.
You give respect, you'll get respect - you just don't know your place.

I don't hate it. I do think the fake rivet bracelet is beyond stupid.
Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
snowflake hand chronograph seems awkward.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
That snowflake hand is ridiculous on a chronograph. It blocks almost an entire sub dial. Ditch the stupid bracelet and snowflake hand, call it something else - OK. It also has the 45min counter, just like the current not in house chrono so it might not even have an in house movement going for it.
It's getting more and more clear that Tudor somehow lucked into a couple decent designs and can't figure out where to go from there.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
While I don't love everything about it, I don't think that BB Chrono is bad.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
It could be worse. It could also be better.
Also curious if it's actually a ToG. I'm probably in the minority, but I've always like those.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
Even at $2200 I think it would be a nicely built lower cost watch. That crown though.

The '57 style case is 40mm correct?

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
Snowflake hands suck on that chrono, and square or rectangle markers would have looked better than round markers.
Other than that, I like it. I would probably be interested if Tudor changes the hands.

Re: Rolex Basel Teaser (IG)
I think that it's the FOIS style case, which I think people call 40mm. It's the same size as the regular Speedy Pro but it doesn't have the extended case/crown guards. If this has a plastic crystal it's going to fly out of dealers.
A couple years of shitty sales seems to have been the kick in the ass that Omega needed.
