New addition to the family (fresh out of Basel!)

This is the new Tudor Black Bay Bronze in Slate Grey (Model 79250BA) that debuted at Basel this year. I saw an article from Hodinkee’s coverage featuring this model, and I immediately loved it. I’ve been debating getting the Bucherer Blue edition for awhile, but the prices are much higher than I’ve wanted to pay. I got a call from my AD yesterday saying they got their first one in. After trying it on, it didn’t take long to decide to pull the trigger on it. The grey on the bezel and sunburst grey on the dial really go well with the bronze. This is my first bronze watch, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the patina develops over time.

I was also super surprised - especially being in Minnesota. We're not usually high up on the list for areas of the US to get new releases.
