Incoming Tudor Black Bay Monochrome

Picked up an early 40th birthday present. Tried on everything and anything I could get my hands on across brands. To me this watch struck the best balance of price and quality of anything I saw.

Joins my Harrods and black BB36. I guess that officially makes me a Tudor fanboy?

Congrats!!! Such a great looking watch. Unfortunately the 50mm lug to lug is a bit big for me but I love that Tudor/Rolex are a bit more in sync like originally intended.

I hope you get many years of enjoyment and happy 40th. I did a 2001 Explorer last year for mine :)

Well done, OP! Love the Mono. I have a Tudor trio myself and couldn't be happier.

Congratulations. I have tried one on at my AD several times and have showed some restraint but will probably end up with one eventually.

Good looking watch.

As for Tudor- 2 of the last 3 watches I've added to the collection have been Tudors...and I can't get enough of either one. As opposed to the word 'fanboy,' I prefer to think of myself as someone who knows what they like and appreciates the manufacturer who provides it for me.

Very nice and congrats! I like the no date aspect of this piece. It gives the dial a very balanced look and not having to fiddle around setting the date is a plus when starting it up.
