Bought (but not yet picked up) my first - 1991 Tudor 79090 Blue Submariner from Bobs
Hi all,
It's been a year since I decided it was time to get myself a nice watch and I finally pulled the trigger today after eyeballing a tudor submariner 79090 (blue) at Bob's for a few weeks. https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-tu...ner-79090.html It should arrive tomorrow. Super excited. Benchmarked the cost and felt that for the condition, fresh servicing, included 9315 bracelet, and solid name backing - that the value I was looking for was present. I'll give an actual review once I get the watch, but have to say Bobs was pretty awesome to deal with. I had a number of questions about the condition, the bezel fading (i.e. how much is real vs. artifact of bright white background & flash), dirt under the plexiglass or shadowing, bracelet condition/stretch, etc. They even agreed to size the bracelet to my wrist before I get it. For what it's worth, strongly considered the following before deciding on this: - Omega Speedy (I mean, c'mon)....fit like a dream on my ~7" wrist - Bremont U2 Blue - More entry level mechanical watches Fingers crossed for an excellent ownership experience. Excited to join the forum as a owner-member. |

I love a little blue on my wrist and love the vintage aspects of the tophat plexi and other aspects. |

Uhhhhhhhh, pictures. C'MON MAN!!!!!!!!!
Congrats. Great watch. And Patrick is correct, that is not a 9315 folded link bracelet in the picture on that watch. I would think that a B35 serial would have a 9315 bracelet though.Mine is a B41 serial that was bought in 1992 and has one. |
