I like it but this new BB has lost its vintage look , at the same time giving a fresh clean look that will appeal to the modern sub fan as well slightly leaning towards the pellagos styling a little bit more !

 

I have not seen in the flesh a gen BB but i find my rep BB very had to get to grips with the so called big crown the ribbing needs a bit more bite i find my fingers slipping when winding the watch or screwing tight the crown i would have liked the crown to have been slightly bigger to match the big case !!!

Nah, I prefer the red. To each his own, but this is way too vanilla for me. The red stands out.

Wouldn´t be a bad option to have a transformer of sorts - have a choice. 

But of course the color on the crown dictates that a little. 

 

I wonder how the blue looks on the current red BB, i.e. gild/gold hands and indices with the blue bezel. 

 

Even though this is the same watch it´s kind of gearing towards a different demographic. 

A more "modern" non nostalgic demographic - in short the mass public!

Ok maybe the gilt dial from red bezel version with blue bezel, I wonder.............

Saw this one earlier today, looks great. Maybe better than the red one in my opnion...

I like it, but what I really want is a blue Pelagos!

Clearly, Tudor has the better designers than parent Rolex these days.

I agree. Rolex has made some stupid decisions lately. I'm still worked up over the white gold Pepsi.

No one noticed a different logo on the dial?

Looks the same to me, minus the old dial being gilt.
