The thing about the 1655 is that it has utterly terrible legibility. The Tudor wins hands-down if you like the overall design.

Although I really like the concept of the 24hr dial markers.
TBH I don't think the Tudor is as bad as people are making out aesthetically. As with the last one I think having 3 snowflake hands balances the look more than the 2 hand versions.
It does have a whiff of Steinhert(sp?), but overall it's a good looking watch. I think no crown guards works with the overall more round proportions.
The big thing for me, is all the non-PR shots show the side profile as being such a massive slab.

I really want to like the new Tudor, the 4 digit Explorer 2 is one of my favourite watches. But something about it doesn’t quite work and I don’t know what. I wouldn’t mind the thickness probably.
