Initally when I received mine, it was running about +5 seconds a day, now that I've worn it for 3 weeks straight and set in on my bedside table at night sitting on the crown, it has settled in at about +2.5 to 3 seconds a day.

Most of what I've read, I've seen variances between +5 to 7 Seconds a day seems average.

Interesting. Mine was running +9/day from new so I took it into Rolex in St James. They said its not a chronometer grade movement, however they would adjust it under warranty. I should get it back some time this week. I'll let you know how its running then.

Wow. And you got both? Haha. Really poisoned.

Anyway just to share, mine was running +15. Sent in rsc singapore for regulation. Came back with a scratch on the caseback, too excited to collect the watch, did not check on the spot. Just hope the regulation was good.

Just picked up a black bay. Loving the styling and it works so well on a leather strap. Came on a bracelet.

Just added this worn & wound strap today and love it. Much more red than I thought it would have been, but it matches the bezel pretty well. Much more comfortable than the bracelet too!Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1422732636.870881.jpg

Hello.
A quick question.
Does any one know where I can get a pair of end links for the bracelet in the UK?
I bought the watch with leather straps and a heritage chrono bracelet. And it looks like these end links are actually a slightly different size.

This page explains what I mean:

Hey all - decided to pick up a Blackbay Blue (first foray into the luxury watch world).. Unfortunately being in NYC my only options are Tourneau or Wempe. Tourneau seemed unwilling to discount, was just wondering if anyone has had luck at other AD's. I know Tourneau tends not to budge. Thanks. Hoping to pickup tomorrow!

Anyone knows if it's possible to get a half link for the black bay bracelet?

Tudor doesn't have it , but are there any third party manufacturers?

Mine just came in today. I'll post a proper solo shot another time, but happen to have this one I used to compare side by side with the sub for a friend.
