Tudor Black Bay Pro vs Rolex Explorer II - Final Thoughts 

My Explorer 40 has gained 9 seconds since the 28th January. Super watch.

Great video and info Cheyne! I can't really think of another channel where "tool" watches are actually taken out in the wild and tested such a cool idea and wonderful experiment. I guess Hodinkee does the "week on the wrist" but that hardly comes to comparison with your approach. Only a 10pt loss for the Tudor compared to a watch that costs $5,425 more....that's quite a value and a gorgeous picture. I may have to see if I have a wall free for this new beautiful photograph! Great job Cheyne well done my friend!

Great review. I also own the Blackbay Pro watch, but also love the Explorer II. So was very interested with your comparison. Keep up the good work, cheers!

Great video, Love this idea of testing out different watches up against your Rolex explorer 2 and submariner. Awesome channel!!

Great Review! I have the exact same 226570 polar and it was everything that I wanted and had waited for. I have been eyeing this Tudor as a potential gift for my Brother-In-Law as I cant obviously afford another Explorer II but these BB Pro's seem to come up used for around $2.7-$3.2 range and feel like it would be more of an appropriate price as a gift. I would go after one for myself if I didn't have the "Bigger Brother if you will" but I do appreciate your review and its given me more to consider. Thanks

Hi Cheyne, I thought this would be close as Tudors really are tough watches but the Rolex would always have the edge. Great video as always and this series of testing one watch against another should be fun One question though, what will you do if you find a watch that tops the explorer 2 change it or not?

Great video, I’m excited to see what you’ll discover next! I could totally see you wearing Omega’s Railmaster, that’s the watch I use for my outdoor photography :)

You've reminded me to wear my ExpII more often. I bought it with the intention of wearing it regularly and to avoid babying it. Had it a few years now and barely a mark on it 😮‍💨

Honestly love this series, agree with the other comments there’s hardly any content creators who actually use these watches for what they’re made for! Would love to see some sub $1000 or even sub $500 watches to see how they do. Explore 2 seems to be the well deserved king in this field.

I enjoy your videos man! keep them coming.

Hey Cheney Love your chanel. I have one question, why did you chose the polar over the black dial variant? I recently acquired the black dial and love the more understated look😀 Keep up the good work👏🏼

Dear Cheyne, cool video. Thank you! But the most interesting question for the future is: What do you think about the new white Speedy moonwatch? ;-) I say it on your wrist in this video. Will you compare this one to your polar in the future? Chears Jörg

Hello , I have a question do you feel safe when travelling with a rolex? I'm thinking about buying explorer2 as my travel watch but im scared its going to be unfcomfortable to wear during travels

I love my Bb pro and Ranger , my GMT coke is always in the safe box . Stunning pictures .I love photography too

I’m confused. You were going to giveaway this watch at first but an “issue” with the raffle caused you to not to do that so now you are selling it? Why not just start another raffle to give it away for free as you were previously going to. This whole situation is odd to me….

Both watches are really good choice either way you go. Rolex is more expensive because of the longevity of the brand but the Tudor for me is better bang for your bucks. I will save my money to put it on to buy a datejust rolex 41 with jubilee bracelet.

Seiko Alpinist is also 200m water resistant but cant think of any others off the top of my head that can claim that.

I would gravitate more towards Tudor because of that smaller case size although the AR coating is kind of a let down

No contest: Explorer II
