Yeah, I have to admit the S&G bracelet doesn't do it for me. Really like it on leather. (Comes with an olive green NATO strap too, with nice hw, will try that later.)

Yes! Only recently got into Rolex and now Tudor, all the better! Need to resist too many of those best days, puts a dent in the finances.

Thanks, I think it does, too. I was initially looking at the BB Bronze, but that doesn't look nearly as good on my wrist.

Thanks! Appreciating the lume right now, Rolex-like (very even and nice, though doesn't stay intense for very long.)

Congrats. I need to get to an AD to see this in person. My AD has described the color of the crown and bracelet as an almost bronze like color. Is that accurate?

Lovely watch. I tried on with the bracelet and liked it. The leather looks great too. Enjoy.

Yeah, really like the look & size of it. And the lack of crown guards gives a vintage vibe for me.

Thanks!

I posted a pic higher up. Yes, isn't very yellow as far as gold goes, now that you say it I agree, it does look like new bronze (won't patina though). Shouldn't really wear off either, they do some thick gold capping on it (old school!)

Thanks! Bracelet was nice & comfortable, I'm just not into the TT bracelet look. I might get one if my sensibilities ever change, it otherwise seems a nice option.

Go see one in person! That's what sealed the deal for me.

I didn't think I'd like a TT, but on leather it isn't overwhelming, and the gold isn't as yellow as some alloys, I really dig it combined with the vintage styling.
