Took this guy the other day. This is a great watch. I have it listed for sale right now, but I continue to second guess myself.

I think the black bay is a great watch. It will definitely give the base Omega Seamaster a run for its money. I wish that Rolex would stop allowing AD's to discount Tudor models by up to 50% and Tudor need to stop gold plating. Once Rolex apply these principles to the Tudor brand the sky is the limit and Tudor will take Omega head on. At £2,500 I would take the Tudor over the £2,900 Omega any day of the week. The chamfered edging, 41mm size and clasp construction give the Tudor some star quality.

Tudor ADs give up to 50% off?

Really?

A Tudor diamond dial not sure of the model was being discounted by 50% at an AD in the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.

Does anyone know for sure if the olive green NATO from the black bay steel would fit the black bay chrono? I don't like the denim NATO the chrono comes with but I love the olive green that comes with the regular black bay steel. Thank you in advance!

They are both 22mm lugs, so yes will fit.

So I've been having an issue where my watch stops running around 6am after I take it off around 6pm the night before. Is this normal? Am I not being active enough during the day to keep it wound? I have a BB with the 70hr in house movement. This is my first self-winding watch so not really sure what to expect...

Nope. Not normal. Wind it manually and see how long it runs.

I can take mine off and it will last at least 2 nights, and I'm not more active than average.

Will try that. How long do you think I have to wind it for until it's fully wound?

My humble Black Bay 36. I could not decide whether to get a Sub 114060 or an Explorer 214270. Then I saw the BB36, and it was even better than the 36mm Explorer I that I regretted selling a few years ago. I really like smaller size watches, so I ended up getting this and two Rolex OP34s this year:













Thanks for looking.
Carl

Awesome! I don't like 36 because a bit too small for my wrist, but this looks great, congrats! Good pics, too!

I really like the 36mm BB. It was brave of Tudor to introduce this model considering the complaints of many that 36mm is a "ladies size". It's not of course and I think 36mm watches are classy and masculine.

My third Black Bay is the steel and gold version. Photographs of this watch don't do it justice. It's quite a heavy watch because of the gold content. The bezel and end links are solid gold and the centre links and crown are gold capped which is much thicker than gold plate. Tudor reckon the gold cap can take about a dozen or so polishes before it starts to look thin. I don't usually like gold two tone but I love this watch. The gold is brushed so it's less flashy than Rolex gold PCL's. It looks more like the bronze on the BB Bronze when it's new and hasn't tarnished.
