I agree. I just bought one recently and I love it.

I have this. It’s slightly top heavy but it’s still so comfortable and Reminds me of the older sea dwellers with its thickness. It’s an awesome watch and I’m enjoying wearing it.

Managed to collect mine yesterday on the rubber strap, the proportions are spot on, the thickness seems to just blend into the overall proportions of the watch. In other words you really don't notice the thickness. It really is a watch which needs to be seen, you simply don't notice it being 'thick' at all. Overall very impressed, great watch.

I watched your review awhile back, went to my local AD on the 21st of May, to register interest. I got it today full retail very happy Just over 3 weeks waiting. Thanks for your reviews I enjoy your content

Tried it on a NATO. It's a great piece. I think you nailed it-even with the extra layer, the thickness wouldn't have been a deal breaker. Feels thinner on wrist than their chrono or even the Pepsi gmt

I am a minority here for sure, but I love Tudor watches particularly for their thickness. It transmits a sense of a true tool watch, which is what I am interested in, regardless of what I am wearing or the occasion. But I believe that your comments at the end of the video are the most important and I wish all agreed with you: we have had enough of waiting list, flippers and paying premium just to be able to own something which is not a limited edition piece. So I am done with Rolex, for instance, and anything else (clubs, restaurants, etc.) where I need to wait and be robbed.

Thanks Adrian! A great and interesting video as always.

Tried this on the leather/rubber strap and it wears really nice on my 7.10 inch wrist. It certainly has a certain presence height wise, however, it isn't noticeable and the 39mm case negates this well. A really handsome, retro but modern watch. If it has been on the bracelet, it would now be on my wrist.

Thank you for the review, need this badly!

This watch is really growing on me. Thanks Adrian. Totally agree with your comments about customer experience.

Having been lucky enough to pick one up the day they were released I agree with what you are saying. I have owned the 41mm black bay before and this wears completely different. Although it’s by no means thin, It doesn’t have the bulk and isn’t too top heavy, partly down to that new clasp allowing you to get the perfect fit! I think lots of people are writing it off based on the numbers, I would recommend trying in person, I think many will be pleasantly surprised 👌🏻😎

Whats its lug to lug?

Adrian you have managed to articulate my view on this watch better than I could. I heard about this watch and and almost dismissed it as being too thick from the spec sheet. My very kind AD invited me to just take a look at the watch on the bracelet, it's not a thin watch but on the wrist it wore very well indeed and the bracelet is superb (I don't mind the faux rivets, I don't even notice them on the wrist). I now have this watch on my wrist, yes it would be nice if it was thinner but we could say the same for almost all watches. This is now my watch and I'm very happy with it. I have to agree that the lume plots without any surround are brilliant The T clasp is arguably one of the best available on a bracelet, no buttons to push or link clicks to engage it's brilliant. I hope Tudor offer these clasp options for other models in the future, alternatively get a Bark and Jack strap that I may be looking for for my other watches..

I totally agree with everything you said... Not only about the watch which I really like but also about the terrible waiting lists and queues...I currently wear a gmt 16710 which is on my wrist for almost 20 years. I want this bb pro as a daily watch I believe it ticks all the boxes.. Sport, elegant, tool, travel...

I tried this on at the Tudor boutique in West London and I must say the thickness is not as bad as it would seem on paper. It wears beautifully

A lot of ppl are saying it’s out of proportion because of the thickness. I’ve tried this watch on and it wears great 👍

@ChrisWalker-fq7kf

I don't think smaller watches necessarily need to be thinner than larger ones (as people are alleging by harking on about "proportion"). I think the visual impact of thickness is actually *reduced* by making the watch smaller in diameter. There is less watch and that makes up for the fact that it's a bit thick. That's borne out by all the video I've seen of the BB Pro - it looks great to me. Pleasantly chunky but not oversized in general.

Love the video!!!!

Thanks mate.

Love the channel. Tried the BB Pro today - didn't think the thickness was an issue at all - was well balanced on the wrist.

Good points about watch dimensions; on paper they may sound a certain way, but in person they can appear differently. I think several measurements are important in how a watch wears. As many know, that’s the case diameter, lug-to-lug length, and overall thickness. That being said, I think layering with thickness can be important too. That’s not going to be reflected in the dimensions, but is apparent when you see a watch in-person. Here you pointed out how the domed sapphire glass adds to that overall thickness. This can make a watch appear thinner than it actually is. Additionally, the sloped bezel probably helps reduce the apparent thickness as well. Nonetheless, I think the slab side of the case will still probably make this watch appear thicker than I prefer.

Excellent review

Loved the review as always. Superb. Any chance of doing the new black bay 36 s&g review?!

Just picked mine up. Heading over to your site now to figure out what straps to buy!

I do love your take on the whole waiting list BS, your spot on with that. I think I woud definitley go for one of these and probaly fit it with a flat AR coated saphire cryatal, if there is sufficient space. Will have to get one and take it apart to have a look. having had the Black Bay GMT for a while now, and loving it, this looks to be the way to go.

In case anyone is considering this watch in 2023, after six months, mine had to be sent back due to defective movement, the crown was stuck and wouldn’t wind or move the time or date.

I tried those on yesterday. They certainly wear very well! I urge enthusiasts to Go try one, dont let the thickness deter you.

I am amazed how i lived with without the bracelet adjustment which i use now all the time. I have small wrists. Around 17cm. It fits fabulous. And thickness is a non issue. It is there but not in a bad way. It is also more comfortable than my bb58. But i think this is more due to my sharper edged bb58 than anything else.

Hi Adrian. Love the channel and love the content you put out. The BB Pro spec wise looks like a good watch for spelunking and for other outdoor activities.

Apart from the BB Pro, I’m looking at these as options for my first GMT. Cheers and more power to your channel.

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

First, thanks for your thoughts Adrian! To me, Thickness have been a point to consider when buying a watch since I experimented watches and upgrade my collection. So, for a 39mm watch maybe 14.6 would be at the edge of "too much". I will try it on to decide it if sits okay or as I think now... would be to thick. Anyway, the design is a killer. What a beautiful watch.

Great update… visited my AD and tried on the pro on the hybrid strap as it was the only one in stock, I was the first to try and placed my deposit for this watch and fingers crossed will be offered to purchase. Great fit and the thickness does not show on the wrist, beautiful watch.

Nice video. Never understood the appeal of the Explorer II, but know that it is a highly-regarded watch. This Tudor BBP is a fantastic interpretation (or homage) of its Rolex cousin. I like what the folks at Tudor have done.

Hi Adrian, great video! I personally really liked the tudor bb pro and I'll be honest it did not feel that big on the wrist. 😁 I believe it will be a great success and a reall strap beast.

Hey Adrian! Where did you get that sweater from?

I like your bezel comment A LOT. I couldn't agree more. Your comments about luxury are also right on the money.

I’ll go and try it on… hopefully it fits well and if they have it available it’s coming home

I was able to pick one up on Friday at Zürich airport, straight from the shelf although the lady working there said she just 5min earlier had put it out for display/sale 😊 So I was lucky I guess! It’s on a bracelet and it feels and looks absolutely fantastic, better than I had initially thought. I have the BB58 too and prefer a bit smaller watches (max 40mm), I don’t think the thickness is an issue since it can be perfectly sized up with the new quick adjustment in the clasp. So I would say, go get one!

Hi Bark, I own one on the NATO strap. I also have the GMT Pepsi. This definitely wears better than the Pepsi. And I measured to the top of the bezel and it is around 12mm although I did not use a precise tool. Great watch. Glad I bought it.

Yesterday I bought the BB Pro, what a beautiful watch. The yellow ribbed nylon would also look great on my watch, hence my question. The yellow ribbed nylon will soon be available again in 20mm?

You are so right about That Grey market game 🙌🏻

It's a great looking watch that's for sure. I haven't seen one in the flesh but if it is like the other Black Bay models then, for me, the actual thickness isn't a problem - it's the way they wear it. I love the Tudor GMT but I tried one on and it's just so slab sided that I found it clumsy looking. Same for the original Black Bay. If the case was sculpted somehow (like a Yachtmaster for example) I think it would hide the dimensions more elegantly.

Nice Pad Adrian 👌

Wait... at the end of the video you mentioned a place where I can buy a NATO strap, but I missed it! haha Great video Adrian. My AD called me to let me know that one of these came in today so I'm hoping to get over there after work to check it out. This may be perfect since I really miss my 16570!

I really like the look of this one. I've been eyeballing the new Explorer 2 since they came out and I think this is more my style. Similar, but it just has a cool factor all its own.

Just got mine yesterday. Beautiful piece, and I think most people that complain about the thickness are just parroting what they see/hear. When wearing no issue at all.

So glad you said " Go try it on ! " So often we make pre-conceived judgements that are just not accurate. However, I would have much preferred to have seen it in a 41mm case. Sadly my son's BB 58 blue is lost on my 8inch wrist, so for me the diameter is the issue . Love the 1655 influence , one of the best Rolex's ever designed . That with the yellow Gmt hand , make it the slightly chubby love child of the 1655 and the Ranger! I do really like it though. Adrian, so agree with you on the waiting list political bull!
