Impressed more than I anticipated

I am really digging the overall package with this release. The shade of blue looks much better in person. For those of us who love 5 digit subs, this wears very similar. If you look at the rivets as simply a design element, it works. The chamfered lugs are fantastic. The link to the French Navy submariner seals the deal.
Love my AD!

The second photo looks identical to the smurf! One could really be thrown off

Congrats, your pics are bringing out the best.

Kudos to Tudor for having these available the day of the release. That's a welcome change.

That domed crystal is really something special as well. So many well-done design elements - good catch!

I always wanted a no date diver that's 40mm in blue, relatively affordable and a durable brand. I think this is it!

Is the blue the same as the other Black Bay?
