I went through the 'Bronze Age' of wanting one. Even found very good quality Bronze German made Pilot watches at very reasonable prices. Then I suddenly thought why Bronze ??? Now it has gone away !

mixed emotions- some things I like, some I don't think I like but it might grow on me - wish it had a matching metal bracelet option - just prefer metal over straps personally

congrats - might be a collectible one off with the double 9

Interesting opinions. I keep going back and forth on the bronze. I like the look of the Panerai Bronzo with its history and who knows if the Tudor Bronze will create a history of its own. I put a deposit down on one, so we will see how I feel when it actually arrives at the AD.

What I keep going back and forth on is the same thing I did on the blue Pelagos. Thought I had to have it. Have the first one on hold at my ad. And then I saw the blue in person and did not like it as much as I thought I would.

This one I think I will like. But it will come down to price. I do not think that I am willing to pay msrp for the watch. Which is what happens if you say you want the first one. So I may pass for now and wait for a discount.

Have some time to figure it out.

Different but not my style. If I'm going to wear that tone it's going to be gold.

IMHO, good to have if you have a big collection if not I would prefer a different model

I like the look and wil be anxious to see one in person. Don't mind the patina as the rest in the collection are stainless.

I liked this watch a lot when it was announced and saw some pictures.

Now, not so much and I will likely pass. It would have been my first Tudor.

I really like it, and I do like bronze in general. I don't think I'd wear one daily, but I think bronze sports watches work better than in gold. I think I'd buy one as like a 3rd or 4th watch (which probably isn't uncommon here), but I have some others higher up on the list.

Will be curious how the BB patinas, I know they said it's supposed to be an alloy that is more "controlled and even", but not sure what that really means.
