Well I've seen a lot of these posts

Original 16610LV club
Deepsea owners club
daytona, GMT, ... and all the rest

On the other hand I 've seen quite a lot of posts about the Tudor Black Bay. A lot of us have one or will buy one. Many say it's the best looking Tudor out there.
I even dare to say it's more beautifull than ... the other Rolexes I have

So why not put all this info, pics, wristshots etc all together in one thread ... The Black Bay owners club

Welcome.............. buy this wonderfull piece ..............and join the club LOL

it's a macro shot so it seems to be much bigger than it is ... I suppose it's just a reflection of the inner side of the flip lock. So I guess it's some dust on the inner side of the flip lock

My photos aren't as cool as yours but at least I'm in the club.

This thread is going to boost sales.!!! I really like this watch. Hopefully I get to see one in Dubai in a few months.

Rashid.bk · 9 November 2013, 11:42 PM

Dayamm, nice pics.

I see this thread will get dangerous quick. On leather, this watch is incredible.

What I believe you are referring to is the ivory ceramic ball bearing which Tudor uses to secure the flip lock in place. Pretty cool, only concern is longevity or replacement costs if they're high.
I like it though.

Well for anything above $1K...I will have to pay Custom Fees Plus the additional GST...that would mean at least 10% extra on top...From experience even a bargain item....may ended up so so (compare to brand new from AD plus haggling) ....

ALSO, maybe it's just me...I just feel more at ease when dealing face to face (or at least being able to see the item myself).

No ceramic bezel on Black Bay.

Here's a few pics of my Black Bay. It's a great piece. Highly recommend it to anyone who's got the bug.

Which is totally appropriate for this model too.

azguy · 10 November 2013, 03:40 AM

I like the watch.....but for Tudor to allow it to leave the factory with that leather strap without endlinks is a travesty.....IMHO

Agree endlinks should be included with the leather version.

Have any of you kept track of how well the BB is keeping time? There was a post a few months ago referencing an article that said there was a good deal of variation with some seeing +\- 10 secs per day.
