...at Geary's in Beverly Hills.

Very nice.

I'm very tempted by the Black Bay. It wears very nicely with leather strap or bracelet.

Quality piece, rich in character.

Please, don't encourage me.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Buy buy buy!

I prefer the THC myself

CoachRolexRyan · 5 October 2013, 11:37 AM

I recently saw their line up in person as well. Very impressive, especially the BB.
I'm not going to be a bad influence here....but ....your lips may say no, but your wrist says YES!

Laszlo · 5 October 2013, 11:40 AM

I can't say enough about the Black Bay. And since you have tried it on in person... one must admit, its build quality far exceeds its asking price. This piece delivers!

X2 love my new Black Bay!

I've always admired the THC grey dial, but really didn't like it on my wrist. On the other hand, hated the BB on pictures, but when I saw it.., man! I'm thinking of getting one for my birthday at the end of the month.

BB is the best at the current Tudor line.

I agree... The product shots represent the piece well... But will admit the wrist shots taken with mobile phones don't really show how amazing this watch looks in person.

BB far exceeded my expectations.. an iphone shot here to let you think twice:

I'm sure that Tudor has a robust roadmap that will appeal. They're gaining amazing traction now and that'll lead to innovation and astonishment.

I feel the Tudor line will sell briskly.

Lew Archer · 6 October 2013, 06:57 AM

Great pictures...

Yes, the Black Bay is a very good buy for sure. Due to other priorities, I passed, but, believe me, it wasn't easy!

"BB" in the Tudor line means Big Block (IMO) Both are great pieces!

I was referring to Black Bay, but yes I agree with you.

Chainring · 6 October 2013, 10:14 AM

The Black Bay has been very popular on this forum, and for good reason. It's almost perfect. There is no need to rehash its qualities. Those who have seen it in person know how special it is. I like it more every time I wear it. It is the one piece in my small collection I don't see myself parting with. In 20 years I want to be one of those who can say I was smart enough to buy this watch when I had the chance.

Argentius · 6 October 2013, 11:24 AM

I'm trying to come up with a reason NOT to buy a Black Bay. I've been needing a sports watch with nice lume, good contrast.

I've also had my eye on a GMT, but, the Black Bay is so nice I might reconsider. My only hesitation is wondering if I will appreciate its attributes as much in ten years as I do now, whereas I know the GMT is, ahem, a timeless piece.

Curious if this watch will be iconic and remembered fondly in a generation, or, forgotten as part of the neo-retro era along with the new Challenger.
