Both leather and NATO have tang buckles in silver to match case — so, no deployment.

I will get mine mid-May according to my AD. I never really considered a Tudor until this one.

Great pics, I never thought I would want a bb58 so bad.

Is the extra thickness in the 925 in the slab side of the case or the caseback itself?

I don’t really notice a considerable difference in thickness versus the stainless when comparing live. Maybe a little bit.

It’s interesting how much thicker it appears vs. blue BB58 in your pics.

Now that you’ve worn it for a few days, how do you like it and how does it compare to your blue BB58?

I ask because I’ve always been a bracelet guy but am on the list for the 925.
