Tudor Black Bay Pro vs Rolex Explorer II - Week on the Wrist 

Cheers, Thank you

Thank you, My studio setup is just my office. Remember me and my team are all about capturing epic photographs, that's our business. We do these reviews in our spare time. Maybe if we get more subscribers will "upgrade our setup. Cheers

Thank you Chris, I'll give that a try. Yes those ceramic bearings are very nice.

Cheers, you will love it!

Thank you, Yes those are all photographs of real places. For more information on my work check out my website (cheynewalls.com/) . Cheers

I'm a collector of Cheyne's photography and his work is absolutely amazing.

Wonderful. At this point I can only imagine it’s full impact in person. @@ianness8277

Those photos are amazing and the watches are ok too lol

@@Andrew-yy2yeCheers

Thank you. Well said, both great watches. Cheers

Great to hear, thank you for sharing. Yes both good watches and you are right, they are a lot alike while being different and can both fit into a collection. Cheers

I have got a Submariner 124060, I keep the crown down at night (the watch stands on the crown) and it still maintains 0 seconds per day. Try it

A little trick, when you are setting the time on your watch, wind it past the actual time by about 20 minutes and then bring it back to the exact time. This might help, and the more you wear it the better. My Explorer II is pretty much day accurate when I'm doing a lot of hiking wearing watch a lot. Cheers

Thank you both! Will try these. I have noticed over the past two days it seems speed up a bit when I leave it dial up overnight.

@@CMD95782Interesting, keep me posted. Cheers

face down at night, it will gain a bit

@@cheynewalls Awesome! Please let me know the dates and times that you’ll personally be there. I’ll try to meet up with you.

@@briteppr62Great, I'll pretty much be there everyday 4pm to 9pm. Touch base with me before you come via email cheynewalls.com/contact/

@@cheynewalls Great, will do!

That was part of it. We thought we were following all rules, but we had a small oversight in our contest write-up that was kind of in the "grey area" and thought it best to just close the contest before anyone entered. Cheers

Interesting, thanks for sharing that. I wonder, if it does have anything to do with age. Cheers

I also owned the explorer 2 but in a black dial, and it wasn't even close, but I sold that one because it was a bit too big. it wears larger than 42 and while I loved it also, again, a dealbreaker. gmt2 is the ultimate one to go for

I just fell in love with the Polar Rolex Explorer II, The 42mm fits my wrist perfectly. It has that great explorer history, extremely durable & tough while having an amazingly accurate movement. I like the GMT Master 2, the only problem is that everyone who sees it knows its a Rolex, it such a popular watch. The Polar Rolex Explorer II is a lot more under the radar.

@@cheynewalls oh it’s a fantastic watch for sure.. I’m not sure about the wearing a Rolex you don’t want people to know is a Rolex though. It’s a special watch, so I own it. The gmt is just a sub with a half blue bezel anyway

Indeed, both great watches

It just the nerd in me, I enjoy knowing how accurate watches are, and I'm interested in how accuracy can change depending on how to wear the watch. Cheers

Both good bracelet, but yeah that oyster bracelet is comfy. Cheers

The Tudor Black Bay Pro is a great watch, I'm enjoying it.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Still tho, I wouldn't say its bad looking.

That was one of my hang ups with the Black Bay 58 and it wasn't so much because there were too many snowflakes, though that can be argued. I felt there were too many different shapes on the dial. I ended up buying a Pelagos 39mm, the snowflakes look more cohesive with square indices, IMO. I've also grown to like the Black Bay 54, because it toned down the snowflakes, however, I just don't feel it has a place in my current collection.

The Rolex hands look a lash up, there are 4 completely different hands that don’t match one another, the Tudor has a set of hands that match one another, overall the Tudor is a better considered design. I own both watches also, there not much between the two overall.

Lol so true

Both good watches, but the Rolex Explorer II is something very special.

@@cheynewalls Yup, I would never get rid of mine.

I like the idea of the crown guards, and yes the bracelet is better on the Rolex, but the Tudor Pro is a good watch for anyone, Gentleman or not. :) Cheers
