Show Notes

How Tudor borrows the best features from vintage Rolex references that represent "unobtainium" for normal people.

- The Black Bay Pro is essentially a vintage Rolex Explorer II (Steve McQueen). The Black Bay GMT is a "Pepsi" GMT Master.

- Discuss if this is "homage" or "heritage"—and why collectors often prefer the Tudor version because it has the matte dials and chamfered lugs that modern Rolexes have lost.
