I was in the market for an everyday watch. Something I could wear with business casual attire around the office, jeans and a t-shirt outside, something that did not draw too much attention, something durable and good looking.

My choices were: Rolex Explorer 1, OP 39MM and Omega Aqua Terra - I set out to try all of them on this morning and the most UNEXPECTED thing happened...

I WAS IN LOVE!!!! It was literally perfect on my wrist, it is everything I wanted in a watch to wear everyday and I could not leave the AD without it. And while all three variations (had them all in stock) were gorgeous - This one captured my heart.

I never expected to fall in love with a Tudor and while I've appreciated all the Black ones on here lately... I had to have this one.

Thank you Lee Perla in Hackensack NJ for the wonderful treatment.

Not gonna lie, I am realllllly feeling that watch in these pictures. Congrats Carlos!

Congrats but pics are not working. Which one did you pick? I had similar experience with the BBB.

Mr Daytona · 25 October 2015, 03:57 AM

Awesome. Just picked up the Black Bay Black and my Black Bay Blue will be here Tuesday. Loving me some Tudor!

this initialism doesn't work - "BBB" could stand for Black Bay Blue or Black Bay Black.

Congratulations!

BBB has already been denoting the Blue since it first came out. If you ask me the Black should jog on and find it's own initials haha.

One of the best values out there right now in my opinion. And I never saw he black in person before I bought mine the blue got me immediately.

Looks very nice on you! Was tempted to buy this one but didn't match my wrist.

returntorolex · 25 October 2015, 05:52 AM

Nice!!

jjnd08 · 25 October 2015, 06:38 AM

Congrats, the blue is my favorite of the three too!

I had one for awhile, and my purchase one again.

cdmorenot · 25 October 2015, 07:47 AM

Thanks guys! It has been on my wrist all day... It is super comfortable, it is doing the job and it is doing it well. This is the first time ever that my wife complements me on a watch, that alone made it absolutely worth it.

The fit and finish is superb. Favorite part, the beveled/chamfered lines on the case and the big crown.

mfer · 25 October 2015, 07:53 AM

Nice BBb (yes that is right, the black one is BBn) and congrats.

But the best one is the BBr!

Mr. K · 25 October 2015, 08:17 AM

Nice watch. Congrats. If you wanted to fly under the radar, you picked the right watch for sure out of your choices.

Wife already knows I'm a weirdo...
