Incoming/ Tudor Black Bay Bronze

Just picked up the Tudor Black Bay Bronze yesterday. I like the size and the color of the watch. At 43 mm it wears true to size. My Pelagos may actually wear a little larger but I believe that is because of the metal bracelet. As a dollar for what you get, I don't know of a new watch where you can get as much as Tudor. I have been impressed by the in-house movement in my Pelagos, which is about plus on second a day. I will see how I like it and will now see if I can find some interesting straps.

Congrats! This is one of those watches that I had no interest in from the photos and saw it in person and fell in love. Photos don't do it justice IMO. Great pick up!!!

Can't wait to see the patina on these watches years down the road.

Keep us informed on the strap selection. I love my Bronzie. Wear it quite often. I've heard giving it a rub with lemon juice and baking powder will restore the polished look. But I haven't tried that. Has anyone?

Lemon juice, ketchup, things with acid content.
