Wearing my Tudor BB as I tried the new black one which was available as of today. It looks and feels good. Same ETA movement, only had in bracelet but was told it'd be the same price as in leather (3250 swiss francs and only 3009 with 8% taxes off as I'm exempted) black fabric tissue is exactly the same as the red BB and yeah there is an obvious difference between the faux patina in the markers and the pip but to some that looks the part as with older subs said lume ages at a different rate. I want to get it but maybe I will look it up in my next post (as I'm due to leave Geneva for Delhi, India) for those that get'em enjoy and repost more pics...

vintage blue swap?

Stunning pictures everyone, thanks for sharing! I was trying the blue on at the weekend and pretty sure that's what I will go for, however, before I do...

I noticed a few people have several versions, has anyone tried a bezel swap? I think the blue bezel on the vintage face/dials would look amazing. I'm not sure if the bezels are available to pickup as spares, but I tried a cheeky PS and I think it would look fantastic.

Has anyone been brave enough to try this?

I got it on Amazon : Hadley-Roma Men's MB4426RWSE-22 22-mm Stainless Steel WatchBracelet .

Strapcode has a few similar bracelet but the endlink looks thicker on photos, so I went with this Hadley Roma one.

Very excited to have bought a Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B today, bought with some money left to me from my Dad when he passed last year.

He loved watches especially in his later years, and this watch will hold special memories for me, and will be passed on to my son at a later date.

The Tudor joins the SubC and Omega Seamaster I bought last year, and they will each get equal wrist time.

Lovely watch as a remembrance. Sorry for you Dad's passing.

The Black Bay will not disappoint you, it's a great watch. I inherited my fathers DayDate when he passed and is one of my most precious possessions. Eventually I will pass it down to one of my kids.

That's awesome John. Good on you and I am sure your Dad would be proud of your sentiment and taste!

Do you think tudor will swap the bezel and that coloured ring on the crown in a service from red to black?

Isofrane's only come in one length so no problem there but other manufacturers like Hirsch Straps ask for a strap length when you order and give the following options: 110mm/70mm, 120mm/80mm,and 120mm/100mm.
How'd you get the Isofrane to tie right into the endlinks?
