TUDOR Black Bay Chronograph (Panda) - Still Worth Considering?

For this review I am checking out the Tudor Panda chronograph, which I picked up on the secondary market (under retail). I took a while to track one down, so is it still worth it after this watch has been available for a couple of years?

I’ve had mine since around the week of release. The stiff winding loosens with use. It’s still the most difficult wind in my collection. That said, no regrets. I love this watch. Its aesthetic is absolutely perfect, IMO. I agree about the screw down pushers but I have never used any of my chronographs for timing something, so not an issue for me. I appreciate this overview and the strap recommendations. Nicely done!

I love the combo on the after-market bracelet you put on it. I think it's a very well balanced dial and the light catches the handset well enough to see from many angles.

OMG! I saw you this past Thursday at our ADs VIP event! I saw you from a distance and wasn't sure if it was you. Great videos!! So cool to see a watch enthusiast from Ontario on KZbin! Will be sure you introduce myself next time!!!

Very informative review. The dial is the best part of the watch. 👋

I prefer it on the bracelet, too.

I had this watch for a while. It’s so amazing looking but was just too thick. Anyway, mine was also very stiff when manually winding. I looked it up and apparently this movement is just stiff like that, so it’s not just yours.

that slab is RIDICULOUS. I mean what on earth? who can wear that? no one can wear that, I'm convinced.

[@rodsalvador3608]

I prefer the older Autavias. But they're just so darn big lol

[@JStryker7]

They need to make thinner chrono and gmt movements

hi mate are you will from the inbetweeners 😆

[@dabec7463]

I like it but it’s way too thick for me.

It's a hockey puck, so no. I own two chewdors, but no. Until they make smaller variants, if ever, I will not consider them. Only thing Tudor has that's worth buying is their divers. The black bay sports line is okay. The GMTs and chronos are chunks. The dress watches suck.

The San Martin mechanical is better

Fits perfect and is dope. Best tudor money can buy.

I just can't get past those awful f* ugly square hour hands Tudor insist on using.

[@JStryker7]

Those are iconic Tudor

[@seanhickling7340]

@@JStryker7 not before 1969 they weren't. They used to have decent hands. They ruin all the pieces they're on.

@@seanhickling7340 they aren’t returning to being Rolex with different movements

The problem with the hour hand on this watch is it can block the subdials. So annoying.
