New Jersey. Just across the Hudson from NYC.

According to Hodinkee's hands on review "The crown, a new design for Tudor's Black Bay line, is of the screw-down variety and water resistance is 200 meters. "

It's a new screw down crown that hugs the case better than the older versions. It looks like they are adjusting the design language to me.

Speedy Professional. This was for several reasons. First, I had a g-shock and that was truly accurate for 1/1000th the price, so I didn't understand the need of a chronograph. This was when I first got into watches.  Plus the dimensions (on paper) were too large for my wrist. Tried it on several months ago on a whim. I was at an AD after going in trying to get a chance to see the No Time To Die Seamaster. I have been mesmerized ever since. It fit my wrist like a dream and the new bracelet is so comfortable. It's been added to my "future" watch list.

Modern Rolex. I find most of their "classic" offerings garish and ugly. The "professional" models are either to gaudy, have similar case designs you can't tell them apart besides in hand (sub /sea dweller), or they look the same besides the dials (air king/milgaus/explorer). 

I truly do not understand the fascination with the brand. The new releases only solidified my opinions even more.

I agree, but I would recommend buying them from an authorized dealer and negotiate a discount. I find it helps you with the other brands they sell.
