Thank you for watching.
Love this watch for its uniqueness and characters. I was also very skeptical when it first came out, but I totally changed my mind when saw it in person and tried on a wrist. It is sort of feeling “call for adventure” when you take it on. It isn’t boring and it is not that often established brands like Tudor invest into something they know won’t be hyper popular. Thanks Tudor for bringing this in to the market
I'm surprised to not see a JLC in your collection.
LWC has a better collection than I’ll ever have, but his taste is a bit obvious. The lack of JLC or Journe, etc. isn’t super surprising.
@@chumerranion778 dunno, he seems the type of guy that would buy a Chronometre Bleu.
@@chumerranion778 His taste being obvious as in just hype brands consisting of AP, Patek, and mainly Rolex?
Alec Tang but he hasn’t. That would be a great and refreshingly different addition to his collection. And one of grail watches too. I love Journe timepieces.
J Kyle081 I have noticed that too. There are some absolutely fabulous brands out there that he doesn’t seem to show much interest in.
Just bought one of these today, absolutely stunning watch and an instant classic. I'm thankful for the undeserved hatred from black bay fifty eight guys who were butthurt they didn't get an affordable submariner, as otherwise the P01 would be impossible to find.
I love this watch. I'm a big Tudor fan. I have the GMT and Black Bay 58. I would buy this for my collection.
Thank you for another excellent video.
Love this watch . A true tool watch prototype a must have collection
At first, the Tudor Black Bay P01 evoked a skeptical image, but today I really like the watch a lot.
No mistake at all. Congrats, finally a watch with its 'own' look. Cheers fm Singapore+
It definitely has some charm to it. I didn't like this when first released, But now love it!
Love your videos so much man! Please keep doing more, really enjoy your collection and your passion for watches! :)
That satin finish takes my heart....💕
Good day
Keep doing these videos they are great for us enthusiasts that can’t afford anything ourselves but enjoy watching (pun intended)
I cannot stop watching every single one of your videos on your channel. You're my favorite timepiece channel :) Please continue I love your videos!
Had mine just before shutdown and I love it.
I love this watch. I didn’t feel this way when it first came out. Only when I handled it in person did my mindset start changing. Pictures do not do it justice. The more you handle it, the more your obsess over it. I have one incoming .
I added this watch to my collection 3 months ago. I just loved it after trying it on. I had to change the awful strap though to a beautiful green rubber strap. Now it’s become my daily.
Where'd you get the rubber strap? And does it incorporate the metal hinged end links?
Patent Canal I bought a selection of Barton Elite rubber straps from Amazon. Yes the strap does accommodate the metal links. I kept mine on the the Tudor Deployant clasp. I’ve been wearing mine every day since the COVID-19 lockdown. I now wear it more than my Rolex Subs.
This watch is gorgeous I was taken aback when I first saw this it looks way better in real compared to the pictures
This watch is like the Mercedes g class that many people think it's ugly but it's beautiful at the same time!
man, i haven't watched one of your videos in a long time! Love watching your videos
Really considering picking one of these up...going to go see one next week...thanks for the review
The new addition of background music is so pleasing and so is looking at your watches.
This is my favorite watch in my collection. I love it .
While I don't like the watch I also think it's a good buy. It's quirky...and i'm sure you won't lose money on it either (on the long run). Keep it.
I think we all missed the point with this one. I really love the fact that the lume is done the vintage way with no metal framing. Nice video. Thanks for your work
Good morning guys, never regret in watches they bring full of wisdom. You can learn more about watches when you diversifies your styles in collection. Have a great day.
Thank you this was a fantastic review. I do like the P01 and Pelagos cannot really decide which one I like more
I’ll be honest. I didn’t like this watch at all when it was first announced (and I still probably wouldn’t choose if for my own collection), but it actually looks much better on the wrist than I thought it would. It strikes me as one of the watches that you have to see “in the metal.” Thanks for making this video!
Perfect watch I love it
The best go to review of the P01. Looks great on big TV.
That’s actually a very cool watch. It’s so unique definitely an eye catcher compared to like a bb58.
Top watch !! Watches are a work of art and this watch is different to you mainstream watches not a everyday wear but is something different
Great review LWC !!
Looked surprisingly good on your wrist. Could we have a regular video update on your current rotation. Thanks.
I love the look of this watch. I tried it on but the strap was too short for my 8.25” wrist. But it looks great on you. Nice choice!
Very nice and recognizable, loving the looks. Good everyday piece and tool watch indeed.
No mistake, it's a pretty cool watch bro.. congrats and enjoy your new watch! 🎉 God bless..
Love it. Is this strap fitted correctly??
Certainly a polarising look. Kind of something out of left-field you'd expect from Seiko rather than the more conservative Swiss brands
Tudor isn’t conservative though, they’re rowlecks’ creative outlet
Wonderful watch, as a matter of fact all of your watches are just amazing and beautiful, first class all the way, well except the AP which I dislike but that’s just my thing and says nothing about the brand. Great video as always.
Very unique look. I would have to try it on to see if it's my cup of tea.
I like it! It’s definitely a conversation starter! 👍
At the beginning I thought that watch was ugly, but I've changed my mind. Great watch and perfect in your stunning collection !
just takes a little getting used to. People comparing it to the ploprof are way off... its intro and backstory reminds me of the Royal Oak in 1972, a weird, misunderstood classic with a lot to say.
Thanks LWC, great purchase 👍.
I like it, but I tend to like things that are a bit different. Can you switch out the leather strap? What is the strap measurement? I was thinking it might look cooler with a Tropic rubber strap.
Now that’s a Tudor I’d like to own👍
Love your content, you own some great pieces. This particular watch evokes all kind of thinking which hopfully I can touch base with as follows
P01 or Prototype 1 is the envisionment of the original "commando" commissioned by US navy - this was back in the 60's I believe - it was never produced! For me it's neither diver nor sailor, the bezel is marked in 12 increments which in itself ( if you pardon the pun) is divisive to many. That aside, it still appeals from aesthetic point of view, its more in tune with Tudor' s ideology of, 'Born To Dare'- more so than the hugely successful Black Bay line, particularly the 58. I'm puzzled why an option of only leather/rubber strap is available, after all everything about it shouts the sea! I've seen pictures of mods where bracelets have been adapted, they just transform the watch to whole new level!
It would tend to agree, it will probably have a short run, the speculators will be watching closely as they next 'wanna buy' eventually. For me, as strange as it seems, I believe Tudor took some cue from Rolex 1655 - its subtle in effect but intentional? I'm not sure. Famously known as the Steve McQueen (with no evidence of his having one), 1655 is extremely desirable. The P01 is a standalone design and true to Tudors ethos, with revenues driven by homages to the vintage Rolex aesthetic nowadays. Does Tudor have something to shout - yes I certainly think so, I hope there's more to come
Hi LWC!
What do you think about the new Tudor Royal?
Will you do a review any time soon?
Comparison to a pug is the best description I’ve heard for this watch. When I first saw it, I wondered what everyone was hating on. Doxa SUB300 is not pretty in any way, but people love that one.
I was waiting for the new Patek. This wasn't a key down though. What is your thoughts on Vacheron Constants?? Cause I think you own don't one for a specific reason. I would like to know why.
I have a question! Is the strap replaceable? Can one replace the strap on this watch with a Nato? And what about those locking lugs? Are those stuck in place?
Excellent piece to add to your collection, so no... no mistake made at all. Congrats. If you like it, that's all that matters. Thank you for another excellent video LWC, take care
It is a very nice watch,not to everyones taste but I think over time opinions will change on it and it will become very desirable.i remember when the black bay chronograph came out,I fell in love with it and bought it.that got similar reactions as this but over time opinions have hae changed on that too.great vid,great buy mate👍
It depends on your lifestyle. It is not a formal piece at all, but I see me using it on the weekends or holidays. And it has the cool factor.
I’ve always liked this watch and been intrigued. Your metaphor is spot on. Only contention I have is the size for my wrist and secondly as a proper tool diver the leather strap is impractical considering the depth rating. And like you mentioned switching it to a bracelet would make it a brick on the wrist
Cool looking watch and, as you say similar to the Seiko. Good to see a Tudor that’s quite different to most Rolex.
Have you considered the Cartier Santos? It’s the first wristwatch for men, first sports watch and also the first pilot’s watch
Nice watch also because it is so different. It stands out great 👍🏼
Very cool brush vintage look, nice clasp and strap.
Definitely an interesting piece and it has character. I have tried it on a few times at the AD but cant really decide if its for me...
I like the look of the watch and I’am seriously considering buying a Tudor, but probably a different model.
It’s actually okay looking, nothing spectacular but not as ugly as many seem to think. I like the bezel latch mechanism. It seems to have that satisfying mechanical crispness to it. But my favorite part of it, is actually the strap! Very handsome looking with the thick brown leather and rubber and that great satin finished clasp. I’d like that strap on a Black Bay ‘58...the original one with the matte black gilt dial and red bezel triangle. Still easily my favorite Tudor and one of my favorite watches overall.
I also like the strap and agree it’d look great on the first BB58.
Eye Heart Sushi thank you 🙂
Got mine last year, never looked back, attracts a lot attention (positive ones) I love it for for its unique identity. Those who say it’s copying Seikos SKX couldn’t be further from the truth because the similarity starts & ends at the the 4pm crown. I know, I have both watches and I can confirm that they couldn’t be more different. Although both pieces to me are special in their own ways.
Also, do you know what the lug to lug width is?
Your thoughts about the Vacheron Constantin Overseas?
Nice mate looks great 👍
Nice looking piece with it unique design
Looks nice hey. Beautiful watch!
It's a great piece
Are there rubber strap options? I’d hate to get the leather wet, after all this is sports watch
Very similar in feel/looks to my Seiko Padi diver. The strap is a better option than the bracelet on Tudor given the pinned (non screw in ) links. Looks about as thick as my Sea Dweller. A nice watch and excellent review
Is there a reason the leather strap is on upside down? (Usually the shorter part comes out from the 12:00 side)
although the PO1 is not my taste i sense you do love the watch and that's all that matters. when your collection is so vast and full of high end collectibles it's only natural to try refreshing, alternative and quirky pieces. besides you need at least one brown leather strap watch!
The dial is beautiful, the strap is a desaster of epic proportions.
This bezel locking mechanism is quite smart : way better than the YEMA one which requires unscrewing the crown (defeating the exact purpose of a dive watch which should be protected against water ingress) and allowing a bi-directionnal rotation, which is very convenient in every day life.
I have to say it has its charm. Kudos to Tudor for taking a risk with the P01. I think it will grow on you.
Hi. just saw an ad with your song in it. does they have the right to use it tho?
It looks fantastically bold, I liked it
Great video!
did you flip the strap? or did it come that way? its upside down.
Talking about Navy watches, what do you think of Panerai? I noticed you don’t own one...
Wow that clasp is huge.... might be uncomfortable for desk diving....
Mr. LW please share the new music added it's breathtakingly luxurious!
Yes it’s great! Just unusual to have a dive watch with a leather strap! But if you can swap it out for a rubber I guess you could dive with it.
Vintage style but special!
Great video. Comparison with the dog was connecting, lol. Magnifying once you put it on your wrist. New experience. Gorgeous watch for real men .-). Not for small wrists.
Cool watch! Also... what is the song at the five minute mark?
I like it. I wonder how it would look on a nato? - yes I know it would defeat the purpose of locking bezel... but I like the bezel a lot
That was a great metaphor. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought the watch was hideous and that I would never wear one. Here I am, 20 minutes later, looking it up on Tudor's website.
I think this is the only watch reviewer I’ve seen that bought the watch and showcased it as it is, instead of getting on the hate train when it first came out. Looks nice on LWC’s wrist.
It's definitely wonderful...no mistake...
love the music at 5.00.
Next time write "5:00" (with a ":", not a ".") so we can click on your timestamp. Anyway, it starts at 4:58. ;)
I come back to his videos just to listen to this new music he has been using since few videos. Gives a serene feeling.
@@damachine3 Thanks. Dint know that feature until now. Awesome.
Good morning LWC, not my cup of tea. Anyway I love every video of you, no matter which watch you show us :)!
Same here!
I totaly agree!
Wheres the upload bro, I'm hung over and I need my Saturday LWC
I love the dial, but apart from that it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Doesn't have a dive bezel, doesn't have a bracelet or rubber strap. It is unique and has its own charm though, I wouldn't be surprised if they do discontinue it and it suddenly becomes a hyped watch
I love your pug metaphor.
I supposed since you bought it, make the best out of it. Always good to be in the good books of the AD so u can get some hard to come by pieces in the future.
Congratulations on the new purchase. I applaud Tudor for producing this and being brave enough to do something different. I thinks it’s a watch to be seen in the flesh 😁
Not a watch for me, but if you like it, that’s what matters.
Thanks for sharing.
Literally the best watch channel on UA-cam 😅 no offence to bark&jack 😂 but I’m always very exited to see a new video from you 🙏
He has reach of some great pieces, that's for sure and great viewing for me on a Saturday morning. For deeper and more examined content, catch the ID Guy, he's in his mid twenties having already amassed a huge knowledge of the industry attracting a learned audience of followers. 👍
It actually looks good on you and I think the watch has this unique appeal. Certainly different than the "standard" look of watches. I guess it is not for everyone. It's a piece that's either you like or you don't. Cheers!
Honestly, not expecting this one (more thinking on the Pelagos). However, it makes sense since this watch is the most original/one-of-a-kind in the current Tudor lineup. In addition, it seems quite possible that this model will be (more sooner than later) discontinued, which makes it a potential "horological rarity" (wise move, as always). Not my cup of tea, but the watch seems to be well built and has a great movement (long power reserve, important in a watch rotation + great accuracy). As usual, great content making this gloomy saturady morning (at least here, in the Basque Country) nicer. Greetings from the Basque Country
Think i have to reserve my judgment on this one haven't seen it in the flesh even in 4k it doesn't give it justice and at 42mm i couldn't pull it off .
An acquired taste I'm thinking looks fine on your wrist though enjoy my friend 🙂
