Just a twist: "Bespoke replica" of the new 41mm Tudor Monochrome?

If take my 16610LV, and remove the LV-insert and replace it with an original LN-insert - and remove the oyster bracelet and fit the 62510H "50" bracelet form my 16710BLRO, the result looks familiar - don't you think?

As a seasoned (and somewhat "fed up") collector: How do you feel about Tudors newest 41mm monochrome release this year?

Thanks. I like the new Tudor release, but it is kinda "chubby" compared to this 20+ year old slim and elegant watch case.

Mr. Padi, being 68 years old, is a reference point - but the rest of us obviously think the Tudor BB 41mm resembles what Rolex used to offer (i.e. a watch case on a user's preferred bracelet).

I don't see it, but to be clear I think your watch looks better. I also share your wish that someone could still get Jubilee and Oyster on demand from Rolex, not to mention bezel inserts!

To my eyes the thing that really holds these back is the bezel edge. It's not as scalloped as your watch let alone the sharp serrations of the 5513, and the design cries out for such a bezel. The newest BB is an improvement on the previous one, in that regard, but it's still not there.

Chubby ain't a problem for me.

You forgot change out the Mercedes hour hand for a snowflake, and then it's still nothing like the Tudor! This must be the first time someone has tried to make a Rolex look more like a Tudor

In all seriousness, I actually think it looks absolutely stunning, and doesn't need to be made to look like anything other than the lovely, unique wrist watch that it is.

I think it loses something in the modification.

Really not for me at all, but admire that you’ve really made it yours to your own taste.

While I LOVE a GMT/ExpII/Daytona on jubilee, not sure I enjoy seeing a Sub on one...
