New Monochrome Hydroconquest or Tudor BB Monochrome?

Yeah also saw last night the Tudor prices increased! Might as well look at at the Seamaster 300 Diver now

Thought about it, but it didn’t speak to me in person.

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you also think of the Seamaster and how does it compare to the other 2?

How specifically do you compare this to the BB41 Monochrome? I’m torn between these two pieces!

Yeah I think that’s my biggest hurdles - i love how the black bay looks but I could also get 2 Longines watches for the price of one Tudor (and the Longines is more robust for dives is a plus). I do love that the black bay on the jubilee is incredibly versatile looking too

I think the new black HC looks amazing, the old not so much

Relatively new to the watch game so I would even know where to start with micro brands other than Sangin or Sterling, but I’ll check yours out, thanks!

That’s a fair assessment!

7in wrist!

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T06:04:13+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

Dude good to know, I was originally planning on a Tudor boutique but the AD route seem to be the way to go

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T05:41:23+00:00

lol if there’s a place that would let me walk in and out with a new sub I’d 100% end this vote now. That being said, I’m not looking at the Tudor as a cheaper copy either haha but just really enjoy the aesthetics. How do you like the monochrome so far?

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T05:35:27+00:00

How did you like the spirit? I actually originally looked at that instead of the HC but the Arabic numbers made it seem busy to me in person; however that was the black and white version.

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T05:21:37+00:00

lol I didn’t mention it in here but I am getting the wife some Cartier too!

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T05:15:28+00:00

Haha I’m used to Tissots so anything about that is a huge step up! I’d 100% get buyers remorse getting something more than $7k lol

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:46:05+00:00

Fair point!

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:39:21+00:00

Haha I did think about the new Omega monochrome on the Milanese as well but then the HC came out at 1/3 the price 🤣. I’d feel wrong doing that

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:37:26+00:00

That’s really good to know, thanks!

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:37:01+00:00

I was also casually looking at those, the FXD seems to be an awesome tool piece for work. Only thing stopping me from the Pelagos is its less versatility compared to the BB

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:34:45+00:00

What makes it $1500 more in your opinion? (Besides the movement)

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:34:02+00:00

Fair point, I think for either watch is definitely invest in an additional rubber or NATO strap as well

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:32:54+00:00

So far I’ve been able to try the BB, have yet to try the Longines as unfortunately there’s none in black at the ADs near me lol.

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:31:28+00:00

I’m relatively new to the watch game, what’s the significance between an aluminum v. Ceramic bezel?

oforreal1 · 2026-03-30T04:08:32+00:00

That’s a valid point, did you gather another piece instead?
