The 58 is so well made and perfectly proportioned for a sports watch. It borrows from classic Tudors without being a slave to an exact copy . It really is its own thing with an update to the classic Tudor 7924 Big Crown. The gilt bezel gives the 58 a warm feel, the red triangle offers a pop of color paying homage to the Tudor Big Crown, the chunky coin edge crown is so satisfying to wind with a refined matching coin edge bezel and I love the snow flake seconds hand. It’s different from the more traditional lollipop style. By the way, 39 mm is on the smaller side for a modern sized sports watch. I think anything smaller is playing vintage territory.

I’m a Tutor fanboy with the Pro, BB41, BB gmt opaline dial and Pelagos blue date dial. I own two Rolex but I rarely wear them, not like my Tudor watches. I have my eyes on 4 other Tudors

Well, it is a personal preference. I have the Ranger and love it and others may not. Total respect. Sadly, what might seem "garbage" or sad (to be nice) is the lack of proper grammar. Cheers.

Very good watches, top build, but one of the most unoriginal lineups in the industry. More originality in design is needed to go along with the very successful heavily-Rolex-inspired models.

The fact of the matter is that the *amzwatch* super lines can't even be spotted by watch makers anymore because the creators have perfected every aspect. And they can somehow be purchased for $300 when Rolex sells them for $10,000

@ they have the same movement except the gentleman’s dial is nice it looks cleaner and more versatile. And you can easily swap out straps vs PRX.

I don't like Grand Seiko at all. The quality of the watches is undisputable, but I think they are really banal. Besides, Seiko doesn't evocate anything nice ti me; It doesn't belong to my story. Tudor is not bad, but Rolex is a totally different story.

It's funny because someone could do this exact same video, read the exact same transcript, but if they changed the tone of their voice and their angry face it would have been a video about how good the fake is (i.e., pro fake video). It also took a significant amount of magnification to show those tells.

@@scottbott8525 why would it be a women's release? Silly notion. 35mm is a perfectly unisex size and the integrated bracelet means it wears a bit larger. Dont forget that Rolex didn't have offerings in most of their standard 3 hander range over 36mm until the late 2000's. was every OP, Day Date and Explorer up until then a ladies release? Hell, even Muhammad Ali wore a tiny Cartier Tank.
