Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new here but had a great time at the Beverly Hills GTG yesterday. I have never had a Rolex but bought my first Tudor - a Blue Black Bay a couple of days ago.
Here it is in all its glory -

Guess its the start of the rabbit hole.

Cheers~

Nice pick up, congrats and wear in good health.

Congrats. Let the fun begin. That watch is made so much better with the addition of a different leather strap. I have a couple more coming from the strap maker that will allow me to use the deployment clasp. Hope he works fast.

Thanks and I agree - is that the Artisan Strap Co straps?

Here are a couple more straps I tried till now -
I have the bracelet but its a little tricky to fit and I'm loving the fabric strap too.

It is Artisan. I really like the fit and the value is really good for the finished product.

Which color is your strap? Java or timber brown or burnished brown? I am going to get one with blue stitching but can't decide the color.

Ranged tan I believe. It is pretty light in person. With the red stitch it was originally on my advisor with the champagne dial to bring out the alarm hand and power reserve indicator.

Yes, guess BBB could mean Black or Blue both now

I personally still like the blue the best of all three

Bought it for the blue color - nothing else had that perfect blue shade. Would have preferred a vintage blue Tudor Sub or Snowflake, but they were vintage, harder to find and maintain and beyond my budget for now. Always good to have a modern versatile watch first.

I'll post more pics after getting the bracelet on.
