I have never seen a PVD watch that doesn't wear off and look crummy

The bronze is screaming to be 38-40mm. If you're gonna go vintage, go all the way.

I kind of like the look of worn PVD on a watch. It looks kind of cool. Reminds me of the worn "blued" finishes on firearms.

The PVD version is awesome! I agree about the straight end links; that part could have been done better. Looks great on the fabric strap!

Saw a guy at the airport with a Bamford pvd Milgauss. Cool watch but you could definitely see the uneven wear on the coating. If you are annoyed by hairline scratched on pcl then worn pvd would probably drive you to the nut house.

I'm wondering if the bronze is clear coated or something(?)

I'm already getting pricing to order the new BBB on leather and add the current gen bracelet.... I dislike the rivets very much.

They are riding this pony hard and too much IMHO. 6 variations, with options go bracelet, strap or NATO. when will the camo and jeweled models come out? I was thinking of buying a BB Black, but I'm out.

I really like the one with the rivet bracelet. Their new releases are very nice and will fit a broad audience.

I've always wanted a black PVD/DLC watch, but the lack of normal end links kills it for me, unfortunately.

I love that Tudor is taking more of a presence with their new pieces but I cannot for the life of me get excited about the bronze. I just don't get the appeal.
