Tudor Black Bay Pro - thinking about adding it
Current collection
126610LV Cermit 126711CHNR Rootbeer 125710BLRO Pepsi Omega Seamaster 300m Blue on Rubber Thinking about adding the Black bay Pro on bracelet as a more of a travel/gym watch that is a little less flashy than all my ceramic pieces. For those of you who have it..what do you think? Also if I add the hybrid leather/rubber strap afterwards, anyone know how much that costs? |

I did the same. Nice watch and doesn’t attract attention.

I’m having the same thought. Might add the Pelagos 39. I really like everything about it. Just need to pull the trigger.

I'd say it is my most retro watch, more so than my BB58. It looks like it has sat in the sun for months. I love it!

Bought mine the first day it was on the market and decided on the hybrid band as something different from all my bracelet watches. It was the right choice for me.

I've had mine for two months and I still absolutely love it, I wear it everyday, it never comes off. It's got just the right amount of everything. And no it's not too thick at all. It's also not a thin watch though.

I like it but don't love it. Seems like a watch you may get bored of over time. But I agree would make for a nice travel/gym watch.
I really like the new white dial GMT. Has a little more spark to it. |

I had 2 different Explorer 2s go through my hands, 1 white and 1 black, plus I used to have an IWC UTC. The problem I have with these watches is while I love the true GMT functionality - I couldn't actually interact with the feature meaningfully on a day to day basis. This would be solved with a rotating GMT bezel.

Latest addition to my small collection. Love it! I bought it to wear as a kite and travel watch. Perfect readability in the action. I really like micro adjustable clasp that allows perfect fit over my different wetsuits.

You seem to be able to afford the range above given your previous acquisitions...I don't see why not adding an Explorer II, which is in the same spirit, not flashy either, and simply better on all fronts ??
Nice watch otherwise the BB Pro, the value for money is good, but it's a little too thick (Tudor's fault, but this seems to be corrected on the latest '23 releases)...in your place, I would wait a bit to see if they will also wake up on this one and the Chronos.

Also find the Black Bay Pro somehow nice and retro. From my point of view, it should have had the new Ranger's strap, with no rivets on the sides. Then it would be a hit for me.

I wish these no-surround markers were still the norm on Rolex and Tudor sports watches. They look so much better.
