After thorough review, this watch needs to be in EVERYONES collection.

Yes sir! They blend it quite nicely imo.

Problem is getting the BB bracelet onto the Pelagos clasp, just not worth the trouble so I ended up installing the entire Pelagos bracelet. The links are different sizes and interfere if mix and matched. Have to take a part the links and combine parts to make it work.

Nice watch it is!

I do love mines also, the case thickness is an illusion bc of the side case being straight vs the sub having a different case design.
In certain lighting, the hands with rose gold "glow", I been trying to capture a picture but it's just glare when taken a photo. You have to see for yourself.

I also love the leather and it has the quick deployant clasps

The 79220N is a fantastic watch and is, in my opinion, one of the best watches relative to price you can get, rivaled only by the Speedmaster Professional. They were the first two watches I added to my collection, and, now that I think about it, I almost wish I had just stopped there.

If it were 48mm lug-to-lug instead of 50mm, the watch itself would be perfect to me. I'm also not a huge fan of the bracelet; the clasp sits too far on one side of my wrist (no half-links to fix this) and I think the fact that it isn't flush with the lugs makes it look like they took it from a different watch and said, "eh, that'll work."

The watch being thick may be an illusion, but the case thickness is very real. The Sub has a much thinner case with a taller case back and a thicker bezel. The BB has a flat caseback and a thin bezel so all it’s thickness is in the case. It’s not an overly thick watch overall but it has a very thick case and I find that it’s least attractive feature. It’s still a great watch, but I think if Tudor had thinned the case a little, added a slightly taller caseback and bezel to keep the same overall thickness it would have looked better. But it would have also looked more Sub like which they maybe didn’t want.

The thick case was really my only complaint on the watch, but it’s still an amazing piece, especially considering the price...it’s a hell of a bargain.

Added one to my watchbox towards the end of the year. Spent the better part of December switching between the BBN and the BBR.

They're cool as heck, but I just can't warm up to that goofy hour hand geometry.

Nice watch, but those are deal breakers for me

So... 79220N ETA BBN is no longer available on both eBay and Chrono24. Enjoy the ones you have and take good care of it.

Know why you don’t see the black bay in the tray?



Because it’s on my wrist all the damn time. It’s wonderful in all aspects. My 14 year old son owns 3 Tudors. A blue pelagos, a bb36 and a Fastrider. Daughter wears a Tudor 31 glamour. Tudor’s are wonderful. Period.

Fantastic watch! Purchased this to replace my BLNR and it ticks a lot of boxes. I love the fact it doesn’t have a date wheel, meaning I can just wind it up easily and set the time after not using it for a few days. I went with the red bezel and very pleased I did.
Purchased it yesterday with close to 40% off from an AD, brand new. Very happy with the purchase.

Ernest Jones Bluewater. I got a normal % off and then used vouchers I can get with my company to get the extra discount. If you are looking for a deal though, may be worth contacting Kelvin, he is the man I bought it from. Should happily offer you 15% off. Your company may also offer Ernest Jones vouchers.

I love the look of these, even owned an ETA Black Bay blue. I just hated the way it wore on my wrist. Really too bad, it's a great piece.

I picked up a BBB when work had be in the Philly area last August. I've loved the watch since, and it is "aging" nicely. I'll post up a pic once I've got enough posts...
