My (Tudor) GMT has been keeping the 5B at bay, but it's high time to get it out n about

It's just the way I like it - unmistakably bronze (vs. gold) but not to the point of a dull brown and / or full-on verdigris

Another awesome #TudorThursday

Great Post, amazing pics! This post inspired me to pick up my 5B in October of 2017. Had to get a family member of a friend in Munich to pick one up for me. It was quite an ordeal. It's been almost two years and I still love mine. I prefer mine on the brown leather strap it came with, I love the thickness of that strap. Anyone know how difficult these are to get now? Anyway, thanks OP for bringing this beautiful piece to my attention.

I'm thrilled to hear I helped in getting you hooked on this beauty Glad you managed to source one and that you've enjoyed it as much as I've enjoyed mine

Speaking of which... rockin' it this TudorThursday

I’m new to this site but I have to say that was an incredible informative and extremely interesting review.
I have one of the original BBB and love it, but I now know far more about it.
Many Thanks
PS awesome Photos

Many thanks & so sorry for the late reply - I've been all over the place (watch-wise) lately and my 5B was in "storage" for quite some time, but...

Summer's here and it's on (again) with my 5B for #TudorThursday!
