Watch my full review of the Tudor Black Bay Harrods 79230G in 4k: ua-cam.com/video/TtzU2lUZF8Y/v-deo.html **Correction** 10:02 The green is on the tip of the second's hand not the minute hand s/o to Din Imaan Mekic for pointing out the mistake
Judging by some old pictures I have from when i had a Black Bay Chrono, it was 6 removable links in total, plus anchoring points on the clasp. Not 100% sure though, couldn't get the clearest shot of the bracelet from both ends. For reference i have an 18cm wrist and had 3 links taken out. Hope that helps :)
Shah Lusso I really like the way the green bezel plays off of the black dial to me it’s a great color way, although the Hulk is most iconic I don’t know if I could rock with all that green still a nice piece though. I also think the Tudor is more versatile than the Hulk with way more color strap combos.
Great comparison , I do own the Tudor 58 but I was so close to getting the Harrods. However the 41mm case just put me off abit as I think 39mm on the 58 is just the perfect size , as with the hulk. Let’s just hope at Baselworld Tudor bring out the 58 in 3 colour variants , red blue and green now that would be perfection. 👍🏽
Now that would be interesting, especially since there's already so much demand for the 58, I think if Tudor did a 58 Harrods edition the initial hype (at the very least) would be through the roof. For me the 41mm isn't that bad but it's the thickness that really makes the BB a harder pill to swallow, I wish they did it in the ~12mm that the 58 is. Glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for commenting :)
I actually like the Tudor better. It’s a bit more toned down than the Hulk (and I actually have the Harrod’s) but I do agree with your overall assessment of both pieces (and yes you should do more head-to-heads), and agree that the Tudor is a bit more challenging (but not impossible) to wear with a suit. Great video!!
Its always great getting that validation from someone that owns the watch, I personally prefer the Tudor too but I had to try and keep it objective for the video & the Rolex does edge it out in versatility. More head to heads coming soon! Thanks for watching & commenting :)
I was lucky enough to obtain the Hulk from my AD. It really is a beautiful watch. I was intrigued by the Black Bay, however didn’t realize it so thick. Btw, nice comparison.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video :) How long have you had the Hulk for? Did you have to wait long for it? Even though green isn't really my color i have to say that dial is just spectacular, every time i see one or refer to it in one of my videos I can't help but look at some of the shots i took of that dial, it's just amazing how it changes color. Unfortunately, the entire Black Bay collection is on the thicker side, the only exception is the 58 which uses the MT5402 instead of the MT5602 so the watch is only 12mm thick (similar to the Sub), it'd be nice if Tudor rolled out this movement into the regular line to slim down the collection, but I get the feeling that they're pretty married to this chunky design for now. However if you do like the idea of a slimmer Black Bay, they did do the Blue/Red/Black ones with an ETA2824 movement when they first launched the line, those are all ~13mm thick
Shah Lusso I really was lucky to get the Hulk. I have a great relationship with my AD. 6 months ago, I was able to obtain a DJ41 for my cousin. At that time, I expressed an interest for GMT and Hulk. I also developed relationship with them. 2 months later, I got the Root Beer. Then in December, Santa came early and got the Hulk. Both watches look so much more beautiful in person than on pictures.. I have been lucky. I know people on wait lists for 2 years for this watches.
Shah Lusso I’ve been real lucky. None of this was planned nor was expecting anything. A month prior, I had obtained DJ41 blue dial with oyster bracelet from Authorized dealer in Bahamas in July. Literally DJ41, Root beer, Hulk within 6 months!
The only struggle I have to push the purchase button for the Harrods is the thickness… Damn … a no date with over 14mm , it almost as thick as my Tudor panda Chronograph
With Tudor (except for the 58) the thickness is unfortunately just part of the deal - that being said if you’re comfortable wearing the Tudor chrono then this won’t feel particularly cumbersome or u comfortable. And if in doubt just try on a regular black bay for the feel and if it’s ok then go for the Harrods :)
Glad you liked it! And thanks for pointing out the mistake with the green touch for the seconds hand (not the minute hand) I've put up a comment correcting it :)
It will, though IMO between these two I think the aluminum bezel still looks better vs Rolex's green ceramic - but thats personal preference, on a technical level ceramic is the superior material.
Mr. Zehri! Its been a while since I've seen you in the comments, good to have you back! Nice choice, what do you like more about the Rolex vs the Tudor?
Bro trust me/ its just the name/ although my grandfather had gifted me a Tudor back in 90s when I was a teenager/ but in pakistan it's always been a rolex
For exclusivity I would have to give it the Harrods. Unlike the Kermit, the hulk has been around for more than 10 yrs and way too many floating in the market. My personal preference would be Kermit then harrods and follow by hulk..
I'd have to agree in terms of personal preference - the Kermit's more exlusive and IMO a better looking watch with that slimmer case, I'd love to get my hands on one to do a full review of it or even compare it head to head with the Hulk. Thanks for watching & commenting :)

Do you know how many links can be taken out of the Tudor black Bay strap?
Judging by some old pictures I have from when i had a Black Bay Chrono, it was 6 removable links in total, plus anchoring points on the clasp.
Not 100% sure though, couldn't get the clearest shot of the bracelet from both ends. For reference i have an 18cm wrist and had 3 links taken out. Hope that helps :)
Thanks so much !! I have a real skinny wrist and was just about to purchase a Harrods and was worried I couldn't take out enough links
Tudor Black Bay Harrods for me bro!
Nice, what did you like about the Harrods over the Hulk?
Shah Lusso I really like the way the green bezel plays off of the black dial to me it’s a great color way, although the Hulk is most iconic I don’t know if I could rock with all that green still a nice piece though. I also think the Tudor is more versatile than the Hulk with way more color strap combos.
Dang man, your videos and graphics are incredible!
Thanks man :)
Are the hands rose tone or yellow tone gold?
Have them both. Love them both.
When in doubt, always best to get both :D
Great comparison , I do own the Tudor 58 but I was so close to getting the Harrods. However the 41mm case just put me off abit as I think 39mm on the 58 is just the perfect size , as with the hulk.

Oh wow, 6 months isn't bad at all - and a Root Beer while waiting doesn't hurt either!

Tip of the second hand* love the video man👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up

Won’t the aluminum bezel scratch easier?
It will, though IMO between these two I think the aluminum bezel still looks better vs Rolex's green ceramic - but thats personal preference, on a technical level ceramic is the superior material.
Tudor harrods is a excellent piece
Rolex anytime

Rolex is too tacky.
win to Harrods

" apple vs orange " ?? LOL
Tudor is a poor mans Rolex - that’s what Rolex calls it.
I have the Tudor for sale on EBay. Dbsandman305.
