Saw a guy at the airport with a Bamford pvd Milgauss. Cool watch but you could definitely see the uneven wear on the coating. If you are annoyed by hairline scratched on pcl then worn pvd would probably drive you to the nut house.

Yes. Comes with a fabric strap as well. Bronze touching the skin is generally not a good thing. Leaves green marks as the case gets patina. But I do like that Tudor bronze color pvd coated the SS case back so it blends in better than the silver would. Great detail IMHO.

Agree on the endlinks on the pvd model. Which is crazy because it looked so good on the One watch auction piece in SS. So much so that I have a ranger bracelet that I am picking up next week for my BB.

x2 exactly same sentiments here...otherwise i'd put my name on the list!

They are both awesome!

I'm wondering if the bronze is clear coated or something(?)

I'm already getting pricing to order the new BBB on leather and add the current gen bracelet.... I dislike the rivets very much.

They are riding this pony hard and too much IMHO. 6 variations, with options go bracelet, strap or NATO. when will the camo and jeweled models come out? I was thinking of buying a BB Black, but I'm out.

I really like the one with the rivet bracelet. Their new releases are very nice and will fit a broad audience.

I've always wanted a black PVD/DLC watch, but the lack of normal end links kills it for me, unfortunately.

I love that Tudor is taking more of a presence with their new pieces but I cannot for the life of me get excited about the bronze. I just don't get the appeal.

I think Tudor done very well for 2016
