Bought (but not yet picked up) my first - 1991 Tudor 79090 Blue Submariner from Bobs

[joefrompa]

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.
