it's a macro shot so it seems to be much bigger than it is ... I suppose it's just a reflection of the inner side of the flip lock. So I guess it's some dust on the inner side of the flip lock

Have to say Tudior never did it for me ... Until yesterday .... When I saw the new collection like black bay and palagos (do you spell it like this) in a window ... Wow. I would so wear one .... But first i NEED a datejust ... With white stick dial on an oyster bracelet or a date ... Have not made up my mind ... Maybe i go 34mm

Well for anything above $1K...I will have to pay Custom Fees Plus the additional GST...that would mean at least 10% extra on top...From experience even a bargain item....may ended up so so (compare to brand new from AD plus haggling) .... ALSO, maybe it's just me...I just feel more at ease when dealing face to face (or at least being able to see the item myself).

No ceramic bezel on Black Bay.

Here's a few pics of my Black Bay. It's a great piece. Highly recommend it to anyone who's got the bug.

I like the watch.....but for Tudor to allow it to leave the factory with that leather strap without endlinks is a travesty.....IMHO

Agree endlinks should be included with the leather version.

Oh man, I am just about to receive my second Pelagos, and been thinking about the BB, and wanted to hold off a little, but these kinds of threads are deadly!

Have any of you kept track of how well the BB is keeping time? There was a post a few months ago referencing an article that said there was a good deal of variation with some seeing +\- 10 secs per day.
