Tudor pick up

I had been admiring the Tudor Black Bay Dark for awhile and finally added it to the collection. It feels so substantial on the wrist and is quite comfy. Preowned so very solid value. The fit and finish is excellent. Considering that i am pretty so,id on my Rolex collection and the ridiculous nature of their current product supply this seems to be a good option. Looks better in real life than in the image.

It will be interesting to see how the black PVD wears with time and use. Please let us know.

I am curiuos about wear on the PVD also. Since i have a number to rotate the wrist time is not suoer high. Once maybe twice a week. I laso think a bit of wear at the edges may give a cool patina

I was thinking the samw. I originally looked at getting one with the leather strap but went bracelet. One unfortunate issues is I recently had cataract surgery and my near eyesight is not what is used to be. So upclose work is tricky.

Tried this on at the AD and loved it. Agree on the comfort and quality. Wound up going with the BB Blue instead. The whole black bay line is great stuff - congrats
