Best Tudor Dive Watch? Visiting The NYC Store: Pelagos 39 vs Black Bay Monochrome & My Submariner

Подробнее о видео

When I began talking about watches on YouTube a decade ago, Tudor had just returned to the USA market, and I became hooked. Now I'm back in NYC, so I had to visit their boutique in the trendy Meatpacking district. After being one of the first watch channels to buy the first generations of ETA and rose printed dial Black Bay divers, I turned my back to new releases from the rebellious younger brother of Rolex. Instead, I turned my attention to their underrated and richly varied array of vintage offerings, like Prince Dates, Ranger, and Date-Day models, and eventually fell in love with various versions of their highly revered Submariners. Fast forward our calendar complications to today. Is it time to give their new divers another chance? In this video I compare my current Tudor Submariner 79090 to their latest Black Bay incarnations, along with the more compact Pelagos 39, to see if they have finally made their best divers yet...and if they're good enough to convince me to upgrade. What do you think about the watches in this video? Are they worth it? Or are they still a downgrade and just more of the same charmless, cookie cutter copies, made to squeeze the last drop of milk out of an ever emaciated cash cow? Let me know in the comments what floats your boat, or alternatively sinks it, when it comes to all things Tudor.
