In some way, Tudor is providing alternatives to these iconic watches that are actually affordable for its audience. But the rarity and unaffordable price of the Rolex 1655 means that it was never going to be an option anyway. Sure, there’s a slight feeling that it draws inspiration from something from the past.

The only problematic thing I see with the Black Bay Pro is how much I want one of my own. The Tudor Black Bay Pro - my next watch purchase? The Black Bay Pro’s €3,770 price tag makes it quite a tempting alternative and a great option for all collectors looking for a brilliant, affordable, and modern GMT watch. Yet, the more time I spend counting the ways I could save up for the watch, the more the price sneaks out of reach. The appeal of the Rolex Explorer II (16570), however, has me plotting and scheming. Spending €30K on a watch is something that I don’t think I’ll get to do in this lifetime. The original “Freccione” was never a realistic grail. Though I haven’t yet made up my mind, the more I look at the BB Pro, the more I think that might be the case. In fact, seeing it in the glass display in the Tudor booth just under two weeks ago, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was the answer to my 16570 grail dilemma. We’re not trying to start a dueling-banjos-style exchange here, but Lex’s Tudor diss track inspired me to share my (far more favorable) take on the watch. In fact, as a young collector with an appreciation for vintage watches, seeing a “Freccione”-inspired design make it back at an attainable price point is more than a welcome sight. Personally, the historical baggage that the Black Bay Pro carries doesn’t bother me one bit. There are as many opinions as there are watches. And therein lies the beauty of watch enthusiasm. Though our thoughts on the watch itself align, we disagreed on the dilemma of its inspiration. As he hinted at in the article, we didn’t all agree. You probably read Lex’s opinion on the Tudor Black Bay Pro yesterday. Here at Fratello, we are always happy to express our honest opinions on watches and watch brands, even though they can often differ.
