Cant say that i like the blue leather strap but on the Stainless its stunning!

Vincent65 · 29 March 2014, 04:42 AM

I like it more than the burgundy one, but I wish it had square 'flake' plots and a date.

I would buy it in a heart beat.

The more I look at it, the more I realize just how right they've got it.

The color of the bezel is just perfect. In many lighting situations it will look black but it isn't. And I like that the dial is NOT blue also. The snowflake hands on the round hour markers are also quite genius. The watch has an overall timeless Sub appearance but the hands immediately give it a distinct 'Tudor' recognition, that is all about understatement. And as I have a large wrist I love the size too, bigger than a Rolex Sub.

I love my burgundy BB with it's gold, gild and the chocolate dial. It is a stunningly beautiful warm combination. So sophisticated it is almost a dress watch. I don't see me parting with that one.

But the blue one - oh boy - I am very tempted.... The quintessential understated Submariner. Thank good I have six month to think about it, before it is available.

couldnt agree more. That blue makes for the perfect daily wear. Plus Tudor was smart enough to keep chamfer edges.

I can't decide which I like more, but do agree I wish they went with the square plots and a blue dial.

datejust24 · 29 March 2014, 04:43 AM

yea thats pretty much just gorgeous...Tudor the past few years has been doing one hell of a job...

datejust24 · 29 March 2014, 04:43 AM

is the text on this one silver gilt since the burgundy was gold gilt?

yes they did it in silver this time.

Karl i agree, square plots would be amazing but i still really like this one. One of the few modern watches id purchase. Rolex kind of let me down with the new Pepsi. Not digging the WG.

subtona · 29 March 2014, 05:05 AM

Looks great, blue is always a winner!

I kind of like the blue to be honest...its subtle yet still holds that touch of class I would look for in a piece such as this...gorgeous...so should we anticipate a similar price range between the new BB and the burgundy BB?

CrownMe · 29 March 2014, 06:11 AM

i personally love the cold blue steel color. Reminds me of what attracted me to my red was the gunmetal insert. That color of blue will go with just about everything.

RolexJNJ · 29 March 2014, 07:34 AM

It looks fantastic in photos! I hope it looks as nice in person!

660ft · 29 March 2014, 07:47 AM

I agree Tudor's blue black bay was the best new addition. I like the blue bezel and the silver on the dial so much better than the previous version. I can only hope for a black bezel with strait hour hand some day. If a black insert becomes available (official release or after market), I may have to get one.

soundserious · 29 March 2014, 08:19 AM

New sea-dweller for me, looks great!

cgibs105 · 29 March 2014, 08:44 AM

This piece is stunning. Just read a review on hodinkee. Very well done.

CrownMe · 29 March 2014, 09:04 AM

Rolex needs to bring chamfer edges back. Dont they see how beautiful they are on the black bay?

mike · 29 March 2014, 11:13 AM

Tudor has been on a great run. This one is just stunning.

I've already talked to my AD...in stainless.

Dr. Robert · 29 March 2014, 12:02 PM

The Tudor Ranger & the blue Tudor sub........a pretty sharp duo.......& the Ranger has lug holes!
My favorite Rolex are the new SD & Pepsi GMT......classics rule!

gt0279a · 29 March 2014, 12:39 PM

The case thickness is a beast on the Black Bay. Looks great in blue, although I'm not a fan of the lug width being 22mm as it looses the proportions of the original subs.

Swegin · 30 March 2014, 01:19 AM

I think that Tudor hit another real winner here. Suspect that this may be a future purchase for me.

Chewbacca · 30 March 2014, 01:20 AM

have to agree. its a stunner.

Ector495 · 30 March 2014, 03:15 AM

I love the blue color. They need some end links to pull off that leather strap. I hope this would have the same blue lume as the Pelagos.

From the Tudor site it appears to be the same green Luke as the red BB

Chainring · 30 March 2014, 03:23 AM

I like it but I think I prefer my burgundy one better. I love the gold and chocolate dial. I'd love to have both but can't see me parting with the one I already have.

Survivor · 30 March 2014, 03:36 AM

Tudor certainly hit their mark with this color scheme........now, they have a great looking watch.

Sunster · 30 March 2014, 04:45 AM

Love everything about this watch except the coloured crown tube.
