rolexmaniac88 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 NOW they're talking!!! :thumbsupsmileyanim: WHAT IS THIS ? IS IT NEW ? I WANT IT BADDDDDDDDDDD COME ON GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS !
rolexmaniac88 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 wow. I just decided to buy a new tudor. this is definitely the best "new" model I have seen the last years. EUR 2.800,00 estimated sales price. I totally agree. Can you confirm the price or you just guessed? The only thing to make me truly happy would be to be able to choose the bezel. Maybe a stainless steel one, or something like a tachymetre...
rolexmaniac88 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Bad news for some, good for others: it is supposed to be 42mm. For me, i don't know how my tiny wrist will quite respond to that. I loved the understated looks of a 38-40mm Daytona. Well, maybe 42 is a stretch i could cross. I'm so psyched about this (you probably guessed with the raffle of posts i just wrote). Does anybody know when it should be out? GOSH I LOVE IT. By-Tor, marsupilami, LHOOQ you've just made my day!
marsupilami Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 it should be out in mid june. price 4000,oo swiss francs.
modelizer Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Holy crap! A brand new 42 mm Monte Carlo expected to be out in mid June? Almost to good to be true! Awesome news lads.. Time to make some adjustments in the list..
ciccio Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I like it !!!! I want it !! it's funny to see they've used a watch that doesn't exist for the picture where are compared the 1970 model and the new one,the '70 model has an home plate dial and a rotary bezel...but the home plate dial was sold only whit steel or black bezzel,not the rotary one that was used on the 2 version (different dial) !!
StormTooper4 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 That is a new grail, shame theres no date mag but apart from that pure perfection from tudor HURRAH
modelizer Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 That is a new grail, shame theres no date mag but apart from that pure perfection from tudor HURRAH +1 on the lack of date mag thingy, but I can live with that regarding this beauty!
rolexmaniac88 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 +1 on the lack of date mag thingy, but I can live with that regarding this beauty! Are you kidding? Its the best thing! No date mag, kinda like a sea dweller look! It is just perfect. Just pray so they issue a 38mm version, and you have a daytona 62XX for 2800 euros!
Ronin Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 My first impression was . Then I stared at it for awhile and simply can not figure out why Rolex/Tudor went with an hour marker bezel. Useless. I am also guessing it is fixed despite have what looks like a texture for turning. This really needs a correct Tachymeter bezel. On the plus side, I am glad they left off the Cyclops @ 6. Just my .02.
Justasgood Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 The bezel is not fixed it turns for 2 timezone tracking. Better use as opposed to the tachy. My issue is the Swiss Army knurled application......really kills it for me......not that I was likely to buy one.
jmb Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Knurling is cheap and easy. Remember, Tudor is the Rolex "budget" line...
lhooq Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I thought I'd be more bothered by the design "updates", but I'm OK with most of them. Knurling? Cheap attempt at 'retro' with no basis in history? Maybe, but I find the contrast between the diamond texture and the brushed and polished surfaces pleasing. Hour markers on the bezel? I'm sure Tudor's just trying to put some distance between the Heritage Chrono and a Daytona, and I can't blame them for wanting to distinguish the brand. I would have preferred if they'd kept the cyclops, since its absence leaves a big grey or black expanse above the date, where nothing's going on. The only other parts that bother me are the teeny-weeny subdial hands that can't... quite... reach the outer markers. Regardless, I wouldn't kick it out of the watch box because of those. By the way, were those hour bezels only found on the 7169s, or were there 7032s that really had them? 1

Just pray so they issue a 38mm version, and you have a daytona 62XX for 2800 euros! No kidding here.. I actually like the date mag @6 on the Monte Carlo's.. I also prefer 42mm over 38.. But hey, thats just my 2 cents..

mastergod Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) I´ve often wondered about Tudors level of independence w/regards to ol´Lex when it comes to design, planning etc. They seem to think very similar in some areas and very different in others... Straight from the days! A true bachelors watch. Love it. MG Edited March 19, 2010 by mastergod
marc jacobs Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 I just visit yuki site at today They have been restock the 7032 dial gpl...I used the Yuki 7159 case instead for my Tudor project... Notice the bottom pusher...it's past the 180...more in between the 180-170 tach markings...same as the pic ubi provided. Sure it's stamped 7159, but whose going to know? Its the aesthetics that concerns me... btw...I discovered this by accident. I bought the case for a 7159 project, had a V234 and found out that the pusher spacing was incorrect and the V234 needed a spacer so it fits properly. I had a 7734 handy, dropped it in and it fit perfectly! Thus my change in scope of this project. But now I gotta find 7032 dial and hands. Still waiting on Yuki
modelizer Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 well, everyone got his preference. I hear some even like 47mm watches! True, true.. 47 is way to huge in my book, but 40-42 is just perfect..
chiman12 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 I just visit yuki site at today They have been restock the 7032 dial ...AND ordered! Thanks for the heads up MJ, Yuki said that they may also have the hands by the end of March. If they don't have them, I'll order them from CWP
mastergod Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 True, true.. 47 is way to huge in my book, but 40-42 is just perfect.. I got into reps because of Panerai. Used to love 47mms and in a way still do. But I sure do feel the tide is turning. Maybe the word "bandwagon" can illuminate this. MG
