Just picked up a 41mm with a black dial and I am in love with it! First luxury watch and could not be happier with my purchase.

@JimLecinski 2 года назад

Have this exact watch--totally agree with you that it's fabulous, under-rated and super value. I'd say it absolutely can be an all-arounder, not just a dress watch.

@theknightswatch 2 года назад

Glad you enjoy yours! And that I’m not alone in thinking it’s great!

@downsouth1678 Год назад

Yes I also believe it is a All around watch , the only thing that makes it a dress watch is the bracelet but i believe if you put it on rubber it would look sporty , I'd be curious to see

@jackj1694 Год назад

1.8k for an SW200 I wouldn’t say is super value but hey nice watch either way

Thanks for this great review and changing to different straps and showing it on your wrist makes a great difference!

Saw this in an AD’s window display but didn’t pay it much attention until this video. Highly impressive looking dress watch that I’ll look into again. Bravo Tudor 👏

@dannyg6592 2 года назад

I really enjoy your reviewing style, very comprehensive, educational and entertaining to watch. I tried on a 1926 at my local AD while shopping for a Tudor BB58. I ended up buying the BB58 (and love it), but I was impressed with the 1926. A clean design with an interesting dial. It offers an excellent way to get into the world of luxury watches (and the Tudor/Rolex family) at a reasonable price. I would definitely consider picking up a 36mm 1926 in the future - I am really into 36mm watches now, they are so much more comfortable to wear than my larger watches and 36 mm has been the classic "gentleman's size" for many decades.

@theknightswatch 2 года назад

Thank you. Tudor make some great stuff overall. I never took a second look at the 1926 until seeing it in person. It really is a cool one. Congrats on the 58, hope you enjoy it

Oh! We got a peep of turquoise there near the end 🤩. Love your Tudor. Really beautiful and elegant. I think I might have preferred it on the straps. Great review; I loved the macro shots a lot.

Kurono review soon 😉 I actually recorded the pink/salmon dial version a while ago but just never got around to posting it! And agreed I actually prefer it a little more on the straps too. Thanks for watching!

@kevinranders Год назад

Purchased this watch on Saturday (with the rose gold markers and 41mm). Loving it so far.

@papatriot9882 Год назад

Great review. Very comprehensive. I have this one in 41mm with the gold indices and hands on the brown strap. The deployment is great. The only complaint I have on it is the 38 the power reserve but then again I. Getting applied by the 70 hour reserve on other Tudors. All in all it’s winner at the price point IMO.

@matthewdavis8199 2 года назад

I am totally with you enjoying smaller, thinner, dressier watches these days. I just picked up a 36.5mm Chopard that wears very similar to your Tudor. That size is a breath of fresh air on the wrist. The 1926 may be the cleanest dial you've reviewed, and for the money that's a really pleasant surprise. As always I enjoyed watching. Thank you.

@theknightswatch 2 года назад

Once you see how comfortable the smaller watches are it’s hard to go back! You’ll have to send me a picture of that chopard, not a brand that’s ever on my radar but I’m consistently suprised by the pieces I end up seeing. Thanks for watching!

This looks best on a strap IMO, especially utilizing the deployment clasp. I have several Tudors in the Black Bay line but plan to get the 1926 in 39. The blue indices caught my attention first but I also like the gold indices version.

@Timesplitter09 2 года назад

Really nice review, keep up the good work. Currently I am figuring out whether to go with Nomos Club or with this Tudor. Hard decisions...

@theknightswatch 2 года назад

Both great watches and I’ve had them both. I would say try to try on a club first, they do West a little weird with the long lugs!

@erichancock4618 22 дня назад

Briefly had one (buy / sell / trade all the time)... even with my small wrist though, I thought the 36mm was just a bit too small. I think a 39 would be perfect and may get one that size one day. Great looking watch!

@kevinkowalski1726 Год назад

If they added lume to the hands, this watch would be perfect for me. Its pretty close already, I just bought one. Micro-adjust on the bracelet would be a bonus as well, but not a deal breaker. On the 2 tone models, I really think the crown should be gold.

@theknightswatch Год назад

Ya you can’t overwind it since it’s an auto. Overall this movement isn’t the smoothest so couldn’t off the top of my head explain that away. I would go try to wind another model if you have any local to you, and worse come to worse if it is something that’s out the norm you can have it looked at under warranty

@Joachimhuby 5 месяцев назад

I love the white/blue in 41. However, you said 15spd off! That's insane. The very worst $200 Seiko I've owned was only +14 and I quickly regulated it back down to +2. I'd be extremely disappointed to get a new Tudor with a +/- 15 regardless of it being an ETA or sw200.

@jeffreygoss8109 Год назад

I love the white dial with blue hands and indices but need a lower entry point. Are there any other watches with the white dial and blue hands?

A pretty good alternative is Baltic, they make a similar styled watch in a similar size. Other than that nothing immediately pops to mind though!

@mrbacchus6127 2 года назад

Yeah but most people don't go diving but that is a very popular style

@yoinkhaha 2 года назад

@@mrbacchus6127 True, though if it's a diver you can securely swim with it, which is something people do care about, and also a timing bezel is suuuuper handy. Personally I find dress watch designs lose their interest for me more quickly than tool watches -- there just aren't as many aesthetic aspects on them to appreciate, usually. More stuff going on means more stuff to notice and appreciate when you happen to look at it. I always want to get a nice dress watch, but then I'm like, how much wrist time is this really going to get? I barely even ever wear blazers anymore much less a suit!

@yoinkhaha 2 года назад

In fact that's kinda cool about this Tudor, there's more to it than just white dial, logo, silver hands and stick markers.

@mrbacchus6127 2 года назад

@@yoinkhahaIt is true that I am considering this watch over some other dressy options because of the 100m water resistance. Most others are annoyingly 30mm splash resistant.

@theknightswatch 2 года назад

Definitely get where you are coming from, for me I just prefer dress watches even if im going to be wearing jeans for the day. They are usually more comfortable than sports watches and I like the subtlety. To each their own! I get the appeal of Dive/sport watches but in my opinion it’s a lot easier to dress down a dress watch than dress up a sports one.

@gregs.8895 Год назад

Wonder why they didn't heat blue the indicies and hands. Cost likely, but seems like something a brand like Tudor would just default to. Hmmm. Still like the watch though

I thought Tudor regulate the movement to within cosc standards (although not chronometer certified)? If yours is running at +16 spd I would not be happy with that.
