Incoming: a small & simple watch - lot’s of pleasure - BB54
Have been eyeing this watch for over a year now. In my country the one and only Tudor (as well as Rolex) AD has seen only a handful of these over the past year. The last piece many, many months ago. Finally I managed to snug one since two other „enthusiasts” in a row declined to pick this one up from another than mine location.
Conclusions: - A very neat, well executed watch. - The great overall visual effect is achieved thanks to the matte, steel bezel. It pairs so well with the matte dial. - T-Fit clasp - a fantastic solution in such a budget watch; love the secure clasp system analogical to Rolex models from Exp 1 up. - Not going to complain about the rivets - a matter of preference. Size: a great fit for my meagre 16cm wrist. Wish Rolex would churn out Submariners in this size. Wearing comfort: fantastic, comparable to Exp36 - I forget I have this watch on the wrist. Colors: in sunny conditions, especially in direct sunlight or lamplight the gilt comes to front, the watch looks very golden-hued (vide - the last photo). However in majority of other conditions it looks very, very monochromatic. The gilt fades away.     bibbi |

Congrats! I love the clean uncluttered layout. A tad small for my taste but it looks great on you!

You wear it well. Unfortunately, too small for me.

Great watch op and it suits you.Ignore naysayers about size if it is comfortable that is all that matters.The trend for larger watches mystifies me.

Perfect. This (37), the BB58 (39), plus the new Monochrome in 41 pretty much covers all sizes for those wanting the closest thing to a modern 5 digit Sub.
Great pics! |
