Surprised myself by getting this...incoming.

I've tried on this watch in various combinations on my wrist serveral times in the past. White, TT, even some gold ones. It never quite worked for me. No explanation other than it just didn't make me smile. That is my only test anymore. Then I tried on the combo in black. WOW.

One thing I have come to learn is I'm not a BIG fan of PCL's. They are ok, but I like brushed more. On this watch, they do work better though. But that doesn't matter. This bracelet is coming off in the coming days when my new strap gets here!

Thanks to TRF for all the enablers, time wasters, jokers and all around good people. I've been here for over 7 years now and still enjoy every day here.

Special thanks for the great seller of this watch and the people here who helped with the last minute reference checks. You know who you are.



So, I'm not for a lot of pomp and circumstance....so here it is in all its shiny goodness. You've seen enough unboxing pics anyway.



mmmmm....glossy black goodness


Shiny.....I'll have to fix that.


Why not one more with a light glow/reflection.



P.S. Indirectly it is Tudor's fault I'm got this. I went to the AD to get a Black Bay, not a Black Daytona.

The moment of my demise.....
