need some advise... in which tudor to get..

Ive trimmed my list and now its only Black bay vs monte carlo...

i plan to use it as an everyday watch.. formal,mall,beach,casual etc etc...

i will also buy a watch to mark my recent achievement and as a a gift to myself on my 30th birthday....

so between the two.. which one would you get and why??

Ive tried both and they looked good on my wrist... i also think both looks good in rubber strap, nato and metal strap... so im really having a hard time to choose on which to get....

if it also helps... this is what i have right now...

gshock g-lide surfrider
orient star dress watch
16610 transitional matte dial
16610 LV

i personally prefer the thc and it would complement your current collection much better since you have two divers but i wouldn't use it for the beach.

BB. I liked no date watches. Simple and less clutter look.

x2, with that said you already own two divers, the THC would round out your collection nicely with some variety! If you can wait for the blue THC to come out do so for comparison between the black and grey THC's! Looking forward to your incoming on whatever you decide to get!

X2. That is why you have the 14060M.

I don't like orange colors on my watches too. I like it black and simple.

Interesting enough Orange and Red are from the same color palette tree...



Testing out Jocke's Black Bay on strap at Basel... It's your call OP, as DP stated you can't go wrong either way! Good luck!

At least it isnt as bright as orange. More like a dull red than a bright orange. Like I said, it also has something to do with less cluttered look than the THC.
There are some colors that in my opinion doesn't match well together and orange is one of them.
