I've just seen the blue version of the Black Bay. Have to say I'm impressed with the vintage look and the large winding crown. (Reminds me of Connery's Sub in Goldfinger.)
I'm going to leave it for a couple of weeks just in case is lust at first sight, but I may have to pull the trigger on this one!
PS Do Rolex still make these watches or are they a separate company?

Tudor makes them now. (If that's what you're asking)

Agree, the triple B is an awesome watch.

Ditto, been to look at them in Nottingham today and was very impressed. For the money they are asking they seem like great value

I have the red version. I agree it's a great value, and easy on the eyes.

mjclark32 · 30 September 2014, 05:51 AM

Really nice piece, go for it!

Black Bay with midnight blue bezel

Just visit a Rolex AD in Ankara tonight and yes this Tudor is a must have for this price.

I have two knocks on this watch. First, they aren't very accurate out of the box, but that can be remedied. Second, the feedback from hand-winding the movement is nothing like a Rolex. But the overall build quality is surprisingly good for the price, so that makes up for its shortcomings.
