Normally we hear how bad they are.

However I had an interaction with one yesterday and it was quite pleasant. He actually suggested that the bb s and g was a better purchase and value over a tt sub with hollow center links. More modern and better construction. Not sure I agreed with everything but the heft of the bb was much more than the tt sub.

In any event just thought I would share.

Better construction how or is he only comparing the bracelet?

And value wise, I don't think so.

All around. I didn't get into an in depth conversation on his points. I did note that I didn't like the hollow center links on the tt sub.

Also asked him about the bb chrono. He said late this year Oct or November. They were an ad for tudor. The bb steel looked smaller than I thought it would and the 36 looked tiny. Can see why they upped it to 41.
