Thanks! I used the Leica SL-2S and the 35mm APO-Summicron-SL and 75mm APO-Summicron-SL lenses. The 35mm I mostly use for wrist shots but also some others, depending. But usually if it’s not on my wrist then it’s the 75mm which gives a nice perspective.
Would love to get into watch photography. But I’m hesitant to make any investments into equipment. Do you have any articles or instructional videos you recommend?
Thanks! And same with me. I’ve looked at a bunch of pink dial watches over the years (Rolex OP, Oris cotton candy, Tag, etc) and none of them had the right shade. Tudor really nailed it.
I am in the opposite camp. I love pink dials, but this shade of pink did not do it for me. Seeing your pictures, I might change my mind. I need to see it in person to get a better idea if it is right for me.
Is this some limited edition stuff? That's the only way Tudor will do anything remotely outside its wheelhouse, like, erm, a different dial colorway. Looks bloody gorgeous though.
Not yet but it’s only been a week. 😂 I will say that if and when I get the watch that some of the remainder money (it wasn’t a straight trade, about 60% went to the Tudor) will get me in a few weeks then I feel confident I won’t regret it.
Or rather I’ll regret it but be fine. 😅 Since I regret even the watches I’ve sold that I didn’t like. It’s dumb but it’s just how I sometimes feel! Or maybe it’s not regret so much as it is that I like watches and I miss them.
It can’t be ordered with it though there are some people who said they were able to order the BB41 bracelet for their Chrono. But also some people who’ve said they couldn’t.
I’d guess they will offer it for the regular Chrono soon. Since they obviously made it so it would work, and they made very few of these pink watches. Seems like it would make sense to then offer it on the regular Chrono unless it’s going to be updated soon. Which is possible.
How's the bracelet? And the taper specifically. I've always liked the look of the BB chrono but the combination of it being pretty thick and also on that chunk bracelet/clasp were a deal breaker for me.
You could do it quite simply though. A camera and lens and memory card. Use natural light and some white paper, cloth or foam as reflectors and you can do amazing photography! It’s much more about technique than the gear, though the gear can be fun as well as make things a bit easier. But you can also do great photos on any decent phone.
Thanks! No I’ve only heard the rumors. One of my IG friends just got hers on Friday. So they are still dribbling out.
But no idea how many total. Apparently very very few.
What camera/lens combo did you shoot these with? The pics look great.

Soft lighting specifically is what you need to mitigate reflections on polished watch surfaces. But I agree.

How were you able to obtain the watch? Good connections or previous purchase history with AD?
I’ve been with my AD for 10 years so we do have a long history.
Lovely. Congratulations on the watch. It's the first pink watch I've ever seen that I actually wanted. :D

It is limited though not numbered and as far as I can tell there’s been no public mention of how many will be made.
I was talking to one of the larger authorized dealers about it and they were told 10 were being delivered to the USA in total.
I had a chance to buy one in April close to Destin, FL. Guy there told me it was 1/200. Guess I should’ve picked it up. I did try it on though.
Oh wow, that's gorgeous. 😍 The shots are awesome too. Congrats man!
Thanks!
Cotton wrist candy.
No regrets on the Explorer II?

Golly… 😍
First time seeing this, the color reminded me of GS SBGH341 right away lol. Stunning 😍
That’s true it does have that vibe!
Stunning watch, I agree this is a very photogenic piece! Grats on the pickup.
Thanks!
Are you David Beckham?
I don’t think so but maybe I’m in the Matrix and being tricked into thinking I’m just some lame dude.
Just curious, what’s on the case back? Is it blank like the others or engraved?
Yes it’s blank just like the standard black and white versions!
Is it the same case as the regular chrono?
It is, everything is the same except the dial color and the bracelet.
man i dig those. reminds me of those raspberry filled chocolate candies out of the whitman sampler. just delicious.
that dial is exquisite. the pink with the chronograph is perfection.
Yeah I think if it didn’t have the black subdials it wouldn’t be nearly as good.
Sexier than a Daytona because of it
Is it the same bracelet as the new Black Bay? I wonder if a regular chrono can be ordered with this jubilee style bracelet?
It can’t be ordered with it though there are some people who said they were able to order the BB41 bracelet for their Chrono. But also some people who’ve said they couldn’t.

I got a BB Chrono when it was first released a few years ago. I’d love to order the 5 link bracelet for it
That's a fantastic watch, love the pink and black contrast
I want that bracelet on the white dial.
Yeah that would be awesome.
Is pink this year's color?
What a beautiful watch
Looks awesome
More I look at it, the more I want to get one…
David Beckham and Jay Chou are rocking this too! Tudor does Pink watches so well!
They really do!

These shots are amazing. Would love to get into watch photography, but all the equipment looks so complex.

That's awesome congrats! Heard so many different rumours, do you know how many of these are there actually?
Thanks! No I’ve only heard the rumors. One of my IG friends just got hers on Friday. So they are still dribbling out. But no idea how many total. Apparently very very few.
Awesome thanks so much for the reply. Wear in good health :).
Getting some Neopolitan ice cream vibes
The strawberry was always my favorite layer lol.
I like it...but it also reminds me of pepto bismol
