Tudor made the perfect watch.

[@watchwarrior8597]

I miss these unboxing shows especially with the wine and the cigars . Go Oisin bring back the memories !!!!!

[@chavebomber]

Agree not mad on the tangent this channel went on. Hopefully it’s back on track.

[@willemboom3957]

Love the OLD School Timeless Watch Channel vibe!!! Nicely done Oisin!!!

[@shaunlondon4638]

Got mine in Jan this year, waited 2 months from a main UK A.D. No problem with that, though they asked me for the 15% price increse Tudor added after I'd paid in full ! Numpties. Anyway brand new in a box for £5470 made me a happy boy. Bought it with a small inheritance to remember my mum by. She loved a deep tan and anything gold - a true Essex girl - so every time I look at it I see her......sort of !

[@PurpleRadish-nc7xk]

" She loved a deep tan and anything gold - a true Essex girl - so every time I look at it I see her'... this put a smile on my face, the perfect watch for you!

[@stuartniven2401]

Just got my Sub41 no date so I’m in love .. for now 😉

[@Jdinaz]

not going to lie... I really missed this format. Nice work. I was on the wait list for a Chorno Panda back when they were hard to get. Thee AD called me and said he had a reverse panda come in and asked if I wanted it. I took it and never looked back. I think I dodged a bullet with that stark white dial. It was a good call.

[@blakeoneal4385]

I hate to be the one to tell you that you did not dodge a bullet. I own a rolex sub no date, batman, hulk, and an explorer 1. Out of all those Rolexes my Tudor chrono panda is my absolute favorite. The dial is the most gorgeous dial I've seen. Its this beautiful ivory white, not a true white. The reason its gorgeous is because that ivory white dial contrasts perfectly with the darker white hour markers and snowflake hand. I dont have any problems at all reading the time. I notice that some people tend to mention that with white or silver dials. To be honest, I think its the older crowd with their aging eyes that likely find it more difficult. Because of the sorta ivory white dial it lends a good contrast to the white hour markers and hand. I really dont see how its hard to tell the time unless youre older and your vision is not what it used to be. In that case, then yes maybe the black dial is a bit better for you. Something about this white though is truly special. The reverse panda is nice too but youve gotta to see the panda dial in person. I actually prefer this design in panda over the panda Daytona. Love me a bicompax chrono with this design.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Tudor Pandas remain unsold now in AD windows - isn’t it odd that they were hot watches for so long. I like both the white and black dials and whereas the black is more practical for legibility the white does have something special going on.

[@daniell2217]

@blake. Spot on. Fellow panda owner and agree 100% w/your observations and analysis. My only gripe is the lack of user adjustability on the bracelet.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

@@daniell2217 the deal breaker…

[@dingodango1]

The tudor chrono isn't actually stark white anyway. The dial is more of the opaline silver than a white. It would be even better than it already is if it was a true white dial.

[@Benzo1818]

i love the look...but my only gripe is that parts are "gold plated"🤔. I think the links on bracelet. I realize they're hitting a price point...But i think i'd rather pay another few grand for solid gold..but WTF do i kno😜

[@scottwexlin6456]

I own three Tudors,and love them all. And appreciate you bringing back the old-fashioned unboxing format. It’s how I first got into your channel

[@hutchman0823]

Same here, 39 S&G, BBGMT, Pelagos.

[@watchwarrior8597]

Nope watching the whole story !!!

[@martinward7239]

Me too 👍

[@pimeye]

The Nomadic looks good but I think you are exaggerating that it looks 41 mm on your wrist. To me it’s no more than 40.8 most possibly 40.9 mm.

[@sarahgoldfarb913]

That’s it? I’ve barely finished my first sip…

[@steves8322]

It is great to see an un-boxing again! It has been awhile. Welcome back and hope you had an awesome time in the motherland!

[@bash44]

tudor watches are for watcher wearers and rolex is for collectors

[@a_lucientes]

Beautiful watch. The way you talk about watch dials almost always reminds me of collecting antiquarian and private press books. Either from older very famous presses, like Aldine to the late 19th century Arts & Crafts period. From the different type faces used, to the their careful layout especially on the titlepage, (but often also throughout as well). The effects from light on different paper stocks (from finely laid Dutch Van Gelder, to cotton & vellum, etc) & the different inks and colors they would use. Some presses would cut their own type. I used to see quite a few come across my desk. A few made it into my own collection as well. But I definitely get that same aesthetic appeal and appreciation of detail & cohesion in watch faces,, especially listening to you describe them. Cheers.

[@cistm_un-do_]

Fantastic video! Missed this style. Ever tried the standard 42mm Pelagos? Especially in black

[@RobertFalconer1967]

Ahhh the John Player Special. Have the two-tone Black Bay Diver myself. Love what Tudor are doing, thickness notwithstanding.

[@DanonOP]

I like your reviews Mr Deep Voice 😊

[@roberthazard7539]

Great video. Love the unboxing, low key vibe with the wine or scotch or the cigar. I’ve got the Chrono reverse panda and love it, although this model does give me pause. Thanks.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

I was just lamenting the days of the quick fire unboxings that you do so well and that launched your channel - and here we are back on form with a great piece. Good man that you’re staying true to your vibe and this watch certainly suits your frame. I recently took another look at the Harrods but that’s so bulky it’s a bit of a joke. The heft of the is piece at least houses a cool chrono aesthetic. Great vid!

[@ilmostro16]

I personally prefer Tudor to Rolex. I know that’s blasphemy, but I honestly think Tudor designs and styles are far more interesting and masculine. Rolex is too shiny and blingy. I still want a BB58 someday, just waiting for them to update the clasp finally. This two tone chrono is stunning and gorgeous, but just a bit too big and chunky for my 6.75” wrist, but I wish I could wear it. Looks PERFECT on you Oisin.

[@degenerateWA]

Once Tudor gets to 12mm height for their chronos and gmts they'll be unstoppable

[@nursingreintegration7074]

What a great way to end the night , thank you young Oisin. Canadian fan

[@u.u.u9969]

Yep 14.5mm thick is a pass for me... Wait ... That shot looks absolutely perfect on your wrist... 15:19 Nevermind I take it back lol

[@mattybee1856]

I love everything about this video! I'll definitely be in the market for one of these!

[@chiefofthewatch]

Great vid Oisín, like old times. The difference of your unboxings is the magic of making it interesting, informative & educational (not only on watches but on history, wines, and more), while keeping an atmosphere of spontaneity, simplicity and transparency. You are a true artist man!

[@mikekamler]

Miss these videos! very well presented and awesome to see you coming back to this format! Cheers!

[@EricBishard]

Beautiful watch. I saw your bb58 blue review, I own that watch and I agree that it can be to small for some people. I'm a bit smaller of a guy than you, it's the perfect size for me. And I've tried this one on the video on at the Tudor AD in Paris Ave it felt too big. Love the reviews, keep em coming.

[@targaflorio3239]

Love your content Oisin. Similar build to you where watches below 42mm just don’t work . Tudor is tempting

[@albertmeyer8983]

Killer watch!

[@albertoascari3968]

Good old timeless watch channel coming back, thanks Oisin, would like to see more „old“ style videos from you. 👍👏🙏😎

[@FXSTB-i]

😮 What a stunning watch. Never something I have considered. Until now. I remember trying on a Daytona in Schipol years ago ( and I've not got a huge wrist) and it just looked lost.

[@sweetluisp]

Excellent video....my favorite Tudor Chrono variant

[@speedmariner680]

Great video Oisin! This one is a real stunner, always caught my eye in the AD windows, and severly underrated

[@stevepick9527]

That first micro brand watch had me doing a double take as it looks like a twin to my 43mm green Certina DS diver, and at the same cost! Another great video, keep them coming!

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

I wish all the gold bits were solid gold, I don’t buy watches that pretend to be something they are not in my opinion. 😊

[@scrhunter3901]

This nomadic watch is 1to1 a San martin sn008G…. But the san martin costs just 400€. Same watch. Same case same brezelet.. pt5000 movement. Saphire… but my is more a tudor homage but i can believe that booth watches are from the same factory

[@michaelbishop9157]

I don't like that nomadic as I would much prefer brands would focus on developing their own design language. However, I do really enjoy that Tudor and the video / unboxing generally

[@cyclelife9179]

I have the opportunity to get this or the explorer40. Im trying to decide, as I only want 1 watch. What would you choose?! (I'm a big guy too)

[@johnbrock678]

Interesting…I didn’t like the watch while you were holding it and going through the specs, but on your wrist it looks fantastic. Looks like a man’s watch, for sure.

[@sinjinadams2862]

The Nomadic is a very nice looking watch. This is a very tough segment of the watch market to be in though. There are so many budget dive watches out there. It can be hard to stand out.

[@barrycolmer324]

Love the mix of videos, especially since changing from TTWC, but do really enjoy these! 👍

[@jelsner5077]

Love my Tudor but that two tone is 🔥🔥🔥

[@PhotoDaveJax]

Soooo nice to see an old style TWC vid!! Missed that intro.

[@goldencalf5144]

It would be the perfect Tudor watch if they took away the snowflake hands and printed Rolex on the dial instead of Tudor

[@dunphyc3]

It’s hard to get a two tone watch look good. There is a thin line between tacky and classy and that looks tacky imo. Horrible looking watch considering the panda looks great.

[@ph8077]

Honestly, officer - I was videoing the watch...not her arse!

[@WatchesOnWood]

One point I had hoped you would bring up is the pusher feel. Everyone goes on about the daytona being the best chronograph pusher feel on the market, but honestly, I was let down by the daytona, having had the tudor first. The feel of the tudor pushers is just so positive and sound like you've just engaged a bullet into the chamber of a quality bolt action rifle. Having medium sized wrists I love wearing this tudor when i want to feel I have a "manly" sized watch on and the 116503 when I want to be more 'elegant' (for want of better words!) Great vid Oisin - looking forward to the ibashers chat tonight.

[@rubenpapa100]

fully agree on the panda.. my biggest bug bear with the watch is reading the time in low light.. think I might follow you on this one Oisin and go S&G

[@marks291]

Of course you bought the most Rolex of Tudor watches 😁. So much better though 👍. Miss these unboxing videos, enjoying it with a dram of Glenfiddich, cheers

[@robdavid1419]

Oisin I have two Tudor watches, and one of my favorite details are the aluminum bezels…..it’s more of a vintage look, and I love how they have a more matte appearance. I have had many Rolex watches with the ceramic bezel, and I like my Tudors best! Great review! Love the video!

[@ricardochaveste7367]

Stunner piece of engineer 👌 perfection ⌚️ one of this day, seriously gorgeous. Congrats from St George Utah until next time...salud 🍷⌚️✌️

I had this watch and traded it towards a Zenith chrono master sport. I LOVE the Zenith but you made me remember my days enjoying this watch and yea great great watch.

[@charliegraham1118]

Agree with WatchWarrior good to see the unboxings again , the Nomadic is a fine watch been watching it for a while , I have the Tudor and I hold it in higher regard than my Explorer 11, Submariner S&G and Daytona, its a work of art and I'm glad its not as commonly seen as a Daytona, keep up the sterling content

[@swiss889]

I still love my chrono panda dial, i cant stop looking at it even tho in some lights it can be difficult to read, but love it when the light hits the hands, congrats on your latest purchase it looks sweet

[@Chenxi_love_music_fairy]

Tudor pelagos and Swatch are young, energetic and setting the trend. I have been buying a few of them.

[@trailrunnermike]

Excellent watch! The first two profiles you did on the BB Chrono were also of the highest quality. Thanks! I bought my reverse panda because you specifically brought it to my attention and I am a 100kg+ guy who doesn’t not prefer a bling watch, however most standard sub 42mm watches look like a women’s watch on my 8” wrists. This watch model to me is exactly as you describe it.

[@joekennedy3625]

Beautiful watch

[@drkesrf]

I’ve been saying for YEARS that the Tudor clasp is top notch. Glad to hear someone else say it.

[@joekennedy3625]

Just a reminder I was the one with the Omega 321 1969 Speedmaster, that you had a part with me buying that watch! Cheers

[@florentlago2236]

I discovered your chanel fairly recently, essentially as I was in market for a tudor black bay chrono panda. Videos are extremely well made with a unique tone. I love smoking cigars, of course paired with a nice whisky or rhum so your overall set up looks perfect to me!. But having then someone, watch lover and enthusiast , non french , enjoying and showing so well this lovely wine from saint julien.... you have all my due respects!! Bravo!!

[@jackdaw3173]

[@English2Elvish]

I was 4 years agead of you, this was my first luxury watch that I still have... bought the leather strap n bund combo to swap between the bracelet. My 116519ln though I finally got gets all the wrist time though.

[@scottgordon6740]

Very glad to see you returning to the short form reviews. Enjoy your content but just don't have time to watch videos over an hour. Even > 30 mins is pushing it these days. Definitely a fan of Tudor. I own two (Heritage Chrono and Ranger) but not a huge fan of the snowflake hands. Hoping to see more than just variants of BB divers being released in the future.

[@dean2822]

I registered interest on the day this Tudor model came out in 2020 on the white dial model. I only got one in August 2023. Was very surprised how long it took to get it. It seemed the model became more available in around May2023. I did not have any problems reading the time. I had to wear glasses from the age of 17 when started driving lessons. At the age of 40 plucked up the courage to have laser eye surgery. Then being told I had better than 20/ 20 vision. Now 51 my eye sight is still better than 20/20 it has not changed. So if you have decent eye sight you will not have an issue with the white dial version. Tudor have some great watches eyeing up the blue pelagos blue 42 next. While I wait for the next Call for the next Rolex model on the Rolex treadmill.

[@Crackers2549]

This is a beautiful watch Oisin...! Looks great on you and although it's two tone, it suits even a t shirt well...! 5 Stars... Like it better than a Daytona with better presence on the wrist!.... Gorgeous

[@chrissmith1350]

I watched another video you did about the Tudor Panda and I enjoyed this video as well. I picked my Tudor Panda up from my AD this weekend. A few things for people considering this piece. I own a few Rolex sports models- Deep Sea, couple GMT’s and OP’s. The fit, feel and finish on my Tudor definitely isn’t on par with the way Rolex feels putting it on and how it looks on your arm. You can feel and see Rolex is a step above, but that’s the way it was intended from the beginning with Tudor. However, you’re getting a piece for less than half the price of those Rolex models. For $5500 US, you get a brand that’s a sister company to Rolex, great movement that’s keeping within +1 second a day on mine, 70 hour power reserve, sapphire crystal, a date, 200 meters water resistance all in a chronograph that’s a certified chronometer. That’s a lot of bang for the buck that personally I feel Tag, Breitling and even Omega can’t offer in this price range. In fact I’ve tried on brands costing double this that weren’t as nice. So in a nutshell, would I pick a Daytona over this? Absolutely at retail. Would I pay $30k grey market for a Daytona? No. I am surprisingly enjoying this piece more than I thought I would and I’d highly recommend adding to your collection now that these are more readily available. I think it’s a suitable alternative to a Daytona. Lacking the fit and feel of a Rolex didn’t outweigh all the other positive features of the Tudor.

[@marchorne7546]

Perfect watch for you 👌I love my heritage 41mm and GMT (diet Pepsi 😜) congrats man 🤘

[@JohnI-mi9tu]

Do you say anywhere the gold is gold PLATED?

@@JohnI-mi9tu nope cos it’s not. It’s gold wrapped. Quite a different thing. And some parts are solid gold like the bezel, end links and pushers. So… no is the answer.

[@FXSTB-i]

There is a macro shot online of a link. There's a fair bit of gold on the links. 'Spray painted' they aren't.

[@georgemoscahlades7473]

A very overlooked piece. In the flesh it’s really a special looking watch. It’s not flashy because the gold is matte. The dial is amazing. Get one if you can before they are discontinued.

[@frankmuller8885]

Oisin, first of all thank you for the great content. I have a question, very often you're posting from the Venice down town restaurants, which are very hight priced an more or less a rip off. Do you get a discount over there as a resident?

[@nedflanders3769]

It’s gorgeous. I had the panda dial version of the Tudor BB Chrono but I just couldn’t get over the thickness, so I parted with the watch. Legibility was also an issue.
