Thank you for watching.

Love this watch for its uniqueness and characters. I was also very skeptical when it first came out, but I totally changed my mind when saw it in person and tried on a wrist. It is sort of feeling “call for adventure” when you take it on. It isn’t boring and it is not that often established brands like Tudor invest into something they know won’t be hyper popular. Thanks Tudor for bringing this in to the market

[@kenildoggy]

Love your videos so much man! Please keep doing more, really enjoy your collection and your passion for watches! :)

[@Bry.L]

I'm surprised to not see a JLC in your collection.

[@chumerranion778]

LWC has a better collection than I’ll ever have, but his taste is a bit obvious. The lack of JLC or Journe, etc. isn’t super surprising.

[@alectang1614]

@@chumerranion778 dunno, he seems the type of guy that would buy a Chronometre Bleu.

[@jkyle0816]

@@chumerranion778 His taste being obvious as in just hype brands consisting of AP, Patek, and mainly Rolex?

[@DavidDatura]

Alec Tang but he hasn’t. That would be a great and refreshingly different addition to his collection. And one of grail watches too. I love Journe timepieces.

[@DavidDatura]

J Kyle081 I have noticed that too. There are some absolutely fabulous brands out there that he doesn’t seem to show much interest in.

[@vv-fs3pt]

At first, the Tudor Black Bay P01 evoked a skeptical image, but today I really like the watch a lot.

[@nickys8442]

I love this watch. I'm a big Tudor fan. I have the GMT and Black Bay 58. I would buy this for my collection. Thank you for another excellent video.

[@taymichael8092]

Love this watch . A true tool watch prototype a must have collection

[@ciceroyeah]

Just bought one of these today, absolutely stunning watch and an instant classic. I'm thankful for the undeserved hatred from black bay fifty eight guys who were butthurt they didn't get an affordable submariner, as otherwise the P01 would be impossible to find.

[@apsychologist]

Good day Keep doing these videos they are great for us enthusiasts that can’t afford anything ourselves but enjoy watching (pun intended)

[@romellocarter3152]

I cannot stop watching every single one of your videos on your channel. You're my favorite timepiece channel :) Please continue I love your videos!

[@paw7582]

Really considering picking one of these up...going to go see one next week...thanks for the review

[@a97b18b]

man, i haven't watched one of your videos in a long time! Love watching your videos

[@ssslovak47]

This watch is like the Mercedes g class that many people think it's ugly but it's beautiful at the same time!

[@achimkohlhage1328]

No mistake at all. Congrats, finally a watch with its 'own' look. Cheers fm Singapore+

[@killamist666]

It definitely has some charm to it. I didn't like this when first released, But now love it!

[@jashbhurjee6777]

This watch is gorgeous I was taken aback when I first saw this it looks way better in real compared to the pictures

[@garysmith1477]

I added this watch to my collection 3 months ago. I just loved it after trying it on. I had to change the awful strap though to a beautiful green rubber strap. Now it’s become my daily.

[@patentcanal8364]

Where'd you get the rubber strap? And does it incorporate the metal hinged end links?

[@garysmith1477]

Patent Canal I bought a selection of Barton Elite rubber straps from Amazon. Yes the strap does accommodate the metal links. I kept mine on the the Tudor Deployant clasp. I’ve been wearing mine every day since the COVID-19 lockdown. I now wear it more than my Rolex Subs.

[@nalinbhardwaj7269]

That satin finish takes my heart....💕

[@Watchugoton]

Had mine just before shutdown and I love it.

[@tonytrinidad5294]

I love this watch. I didn’t feel this way when it first came out. Only when I handled it in person did my mindset start changing. Pictures do not do it justice. The more you handle it, the more your obsess over it. I have one incoming .

[@aamerayoob257]

Thank you this was a fantastic review. I do like the P01 and Pelagos cannot really decide which one I like more

[@timecheckwatch-channel5421]

No mistake, it's a pretty cool watch bro.. congrats and enjoy your new watch! 🎉 God bless..

[@HASSANE390]

The new addition of background music is so pleasing and so is looking at your watches.

[@bautistagonzalez9420]

Good morning guys, never regret in watches they bring full of wisdom. You can learn more about watches when you diversifies your styles in collection. Have a great day.

[@smartmouthriveria]

This is my favorite watch in my collection. I love it .

[@TinB17]

Very nice and recognizable, loving the looks. Good everyday piece and tool watch indeed.

[@johnmcdonagh1607]

Thanks LWC, great purchase 👍.

[@tuckerweston]

I have a question! Is the strap replaceable? Can one replace the strap on this watch with a Nato? And what about those locking lugs? Are those stuck in place?

[@jayh9144]

Very unique look. I would have to try it on to see if it's my cup of tea.

[@primecreator]

Looked surprisingly good on your wrist. Could we have a regular video update on your current rotation. Thanks.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

I think we all missed the point with this one. I really love the fact that the lume is done the vintage way with no metal framing. Nice video. Thanks for your work

[@jasonswitzer1748]

I’ll be honest. I didn’t like this watch at all when it was first announced (and I still probably wouldn’t choose if for my own collection), but it actually looks much better on the wrist than I thought it would. It strikes me as one of the watches that you have to see “in the metal.” Thanks for making this video!

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

I love the look of this watch. I tried it on but the strap was too short for my 8.25” wrist. But it looks great on you. Nice choice!

[@khalilmohammed9077]

Top watch !! Watches are a work of art and this watch is different to you mainstream watches not a everyday wear but is something different Great review LWC !!

[@neill707]

The best go to review of the P01. Looks great on big TV.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

I like it! It’s definitely a conversation starter! 👍

[@kevorknourian5442]

Perfect watch I love it

[@mchoch4576]

Can you compare tudor black bay gmt vs rolex explorer ii , thanks for the great videos

[@carsandgaming1734]

Also, do you know what the lug to lug width is?

[@TopSecretVid]

Are there rubber strap options? I’d hate to get the leather wet, after all this is sports watch

[@geezee769]

Is there a reason the leather strap is on upside down? (Usually the shorter part comes out from the 12:00 side)

[@bigteno4597]

Love it. Is this strap fitted correctly??

[@chiragnk602]

I was waiting for the new Patek. This wasn't a key down though. What is your thoughts on Vacheron Constants?? Cause I think you own don't one for a specific reason. I would like to know why.

[@nikhilmathur6042]

That’s actually a very cool watch. It’s so unique definitely an eye catcher compared to like a bb58.

[@MichaelJMalloy]

I like it, but I tend to like things that are a bit different. Can you switch out the leather strap? What is the strap measurement? I was thinking it might look cooler with a Tropic rubber strap.

[@jeromepersich6915]

At the beginning I thought that watch was ugly, but I've changed my mind. Great watch and perfect in your stunning collection !

[@ciceroyeah]

just takes a little getting used to. People comparing it to the ploprof are way off... its intro and backstory reminds me of the Royal Oak in 1972, a weird, misunderstood classic with a lot to say.

[@madoooon]

did you flip the strap? or did it come that way? its upside down.

[@peterr.7429]

Wonderful watch, as a matter of fact all of your watches are just amazing and beautiful, first class all the way, well except the AP which I dislike but that’s just my thing and says nothing about the brand. Great video as always.

[@olaaf_eu9]

Cool watch! Also... what is the song at the five minute mark?

[@Ricky.913]

Excellent piece to add to your collection, so no... no mistake made at all. Congrats. If you like it, that's all that matters. Thank you for another excellent video LWC, take care

[@idfer]

Hi. just saw an ad with your song in it. does they have the right to use it tho?

[@u.d8013]

Hi LWC! What do you think about the new Tudor Royal? Will you do a review any time soon?

[@elias2993]

Your thoughts about the Vacheron Constantin Overseas?

[@GugaBahr.]

Looks nice hey. Beautiful watch!

[@petermooney5976]

It is a very nice watch,not to everyones taste but I think over time opinions will change on it and it will become very desirable.i remember when the black bay chronograph came out,I fell in love with it and bought it.that got similar reactions as this but over time opinions have hae changed on that too.great vid,great buy mate👍

[@MyMarsham]

Comparison to a pug is the best description I’ve heard for this watch. When I first saw it, I wondered what everyone was hating on. Doxa SUB300 is not pretty in any way, but people love that one.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

While I don't like the watch I also think it's a good buy. It's quirky...and i'm sure you won't lose money on it either (on the long run). Keep it.

[@michaelhayward5385]

Now that’s a Tudor I’d like to own👍

[@enriqueali]

Certainly a polarising look. Kind of something out of left-field you'd expect from Seiko rather than the more conservative Swiss brands

[@Fellowrser]

Tudor isn’t conservative though, they’re rowlecks’ creative outlet

[@alfonsopartida901]

Very cool brush vintage look, nice clasp and strap.

[@SolidWatcher]

Have you considered the Cartier Santos? It’s the first wristwatch for men, first sports watch and also the first pilot’s watch

[@rvpluijgers1796]

Nice watch also because it is so different. It stands out great 👍🏼

[@mannixj5186]

Love your content, you own some great pieces. This particular watch evokes all kind of thinking which hopfully I can touch base with as follows P01 or Prototype 1 is the envisionment of the original "commando" commissioned by US navy - this was back in the 60's I believe - it was never produced! For me it's neither diver nor sailor, the bezel is marked in 12 increments which in itself ( if you pardon the pun) is divisive to many. That aside, it still appeals from aesthetic point of view, its more in tune with Tudor' s ideology of, 'Born To Dare'- more so than the hugely successful Black Bay line, particularly the 58. I'm puzzled why an option of only leather/rubber strap is available, after all everything about it shouts the sea! I've seen pictures of mods where bracelets have been adapted, they just transform the watch to whole new level! It would tend to agree, it will probably have a short run, the speculators will be watching closely as they next 'wanna buy' eventually. For me, as strange as it seems, I believe Tudor took some cue from Rolex 1655 - its subtle in effect but intentional? I'm not sure. Famously known as the Steve McQueen (with no evidence of his having one), 1655 is extremely desirable. The P01 is a standalone design and true to Tudors ethos, with revenues driven by homages to the vintage Rolex aesthetic nowadays. Does Tudor have something to shout - yes I certainly think so, I hope there's more to come

[@snoorrizvi]

I’ve always liked this watch and been intrigued. Your metaphor is spot on. Only contention I have is the size for my wrist and secondly as a proper tool diver the leather strap is impractical considering the depth rating. And like you mentioned switching it to a bracelet would make it a brick on the wrist

[@arbiterofreason2068]

Wheres the upload bro, I'm hung over and I need my Saturday LWC

[@paullinn1312]

Nice mate looks great 👍

[@hdgs6310]

Nice looking piece with it unique design

[@robboyer6448]

Definitely an interesting piece and it has character. I have tried it on a few times at the AD but cant really decide if its for me...

[@micksmith4994]

Cool looking watch and, as you say similar to the Seiko. Good to see a Tudor that’s quite different to most Rolex.

[@carzakone333]

Is that a defect at 6 o'clock marker?

[@albertobottopoala7691]

Talking about Navy watches, what do you think of Panerai? I noticed you don’t own one...

[@watchexplorer321]

Great video. Comparison with the dog was connecting, lol. Magnifying once you put it on your wrist. New experience. Gorgeous watch for real men .-). Not for small wrists.

[@DavidDatura]

It’s actually okay looking, nothing spectacular but not as ugly as many seem to think. I like the bezel latch mechanism. It seems to have that satisfying mechanical crispness to it. But my favorite part of it, is actually the strap! Very handsome looking with the thick brown leather and rubber and that great satin finished clasp. I’d like that strap on a Black Bay ‘58...the original one with the matte black gilt dial and red bezel triangle. Still easily my favorite Tudor and one of my favorite watches overall.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

I also like the strap and agree it’d look great on the first BB58.

[@DavidDatura]

Eye Heart Sushi thank you 🙂

[@kitlai768]

Got mine last year, never looked back, attracts a lot attention (positive ones) I love it for for its unique identity. Those who say it’s copying Seikos SKX couldn’t be further from the truth because the similarity starts & ends at the the 4pm crown. I know, I have both watches and I can confirm that they couldn’t be more different. Although both pieces to me are special in their own ways.

[@williammiller8317]

I like the look of the watch and I’am seriously considering buying a Tudor, but probably a different model.

[@japd7897]

It depends on your lifestyle. It is not a formal piece at all, but I see me using it on the weekends or holidays. And it has the cool factor.

[@nfsaddict100]

Great video!

[@omkarverekar354]

It's a great piece

[@varunsatheesh4730]

Pease make a review on the new Seiko 5 sports! Or maybe your Seiko SKX!

[@Karnpein]

I love your pug metaphor.

[@paulrobinson272]

Very similar in feel/looks to my Seiko Padi diver. The strap is a better option than the bracelet on Tudor given the pinned (non screw in ) links. Looks about as thick as my Sea Dweller. A nice watch and excellent review

[@panorama4526]

The dial is beautiful, the strap is a desaster of epic proportions.

[@heenapatel2505]

Mr. LW please share the new music added it's breathtakingly luxurious!

[@dstjoe]

how about buying the Tudor GMT?

[@tameraboulfetouh9372]

It looks fantastically bold, I liked it

[@jeanlefranc3817]

This bezel locking mechanism is quite smart : way better than the YEMA one which requires unscrewing the crown (defeating the exact purpose of a dive watch which should be protected against water ingress) and allowing a bi-directionnal rotation, which is very convenient in every day life.

[@SirMopy]

Wow that clasp is huge.... might be uncomfortable for desk diving....

[@vang666]

Wait, what kinda strap is that? It cant be leather right?

[@Frank-bd1nv]

I totaly agree!

[@MrJruta]

I like it. I wonder how it would look on a nato? - yes I know it would defeat the purpose of locking bezel... but I like the bezel a lot

[@philchan2512]

Cool piece!!

[@sotos21308]

Vintage style but special!

[@ianarn]

Yes it’s great! Just unusual to have a dive watch with a leather strap! But if you can swap it out for a rubber I guess you could dive with it.

[@Mark..P]

Congratulations on the new purchase. I applaud Tudor for producing this and being brave enough to do something different. I thinks it’s a watch to be seen in the flesh 😁

[@369MatteGrey]

[@benlabrier3550]

It's bad ass. Love it:)

[@Eierfeile]

watch is very nice - thank you for showing it - but it's a tad too big on your wrist I think. Personally I wouldnt like the end of the bracelet reaching so far to the other side and almost climbing up your arm again.

[@adris8802]

[@Omgriv]

great and different option :)

[@AbrasiveKumquat]

That was a great metaphor. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought the watch was hideous and that I would never wear one. Here I am, 20 minutes later, looking it up on Tudor's website.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

I think this is the only watch reviewer I’ve seen that bought the watch and showcased it as it is, instead of getting on the hate train when it first came out. Looks nice on LWC’s wrist.
