I do think the new BB is a lovely piece if you want a Sub-vibe that will attract less attention. I would have both for different occasions. Add in the METAS certification and it becomes compelling.
Have to agree, the BB does feel a bit smaller....

Wonderful. Congrats. I tried the Jubilee version today and loved it. It was not available for sale...

Great comparison photos, thanks. I plan on checking this one out, on my 6.75” wrist, I find the Rolex Sub 41 too big and blingy and the five digits on the small side

Congrats to the OP and Hunter. Nice watch. I might be able to wear that. Looks great on the Jubilee. My AD is also a Tudor AD. Next time I go, I’ll check it out.

Great photos Rolexnabzy - illustrates the point very well.

I do think that Tudor really got it right with this new case and the design will attract many more to the brand who would have been previously put off by the old model chunky case size.

I stopped by my AD yesterday and they had the new Black Bay watches for display, not purchase right now. Very nice but I doubt it will be a purchase for me. The black and white color always appeals to me but my Pelagos does the job for me and I like the size better. I could see how the watch would appeal to many and if I was a younger collector without deep pockets it could be the one, instead of a Submariner. It is all fun and it was nice to see the new watches.
