I really don't mind a dual metal watch but here's what i don't like about that one (in no particular order):
- The weird end lug things on the bracelet that make it look like those cheap rolled steel oyster bracelets on Seiko 5s where they've just tried to hide the folds in the metal
- The clunky transition between the bracelet and the watch, where the bracelet seems to cut into the watch rather than the other way around (see Rolex Oyster for what i mean)
- The colour of the date window backing; should be cream to match lume / hands, or black to match face
- The colour of the pip at 12 o'clock on the bezel for the same reason
- The font in the date window not matching the font on the bezel (only 2 is showing as not matching but lets assume that 1, 3, 4, 5 & 0 don't either)
- The hour hand square - i know this is Tudor's signature but i still don't like it. It's unobtrusive enough on the second have but is unforgivably clunky on the hour hand
- Finally, the polished bevel on the case when absolutely everything else is brushed
I could add that the minute hand appears to be going over the minute markers on the dial but that could be just the picture angle so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt as that's billy fucking basic.
I also reserve the right to all more things to the list, having not seen the caseback or the clasp.
2/10 for me, given how much they cost!

I'm not ashamed to admit I love the steel and gold black bay.
