Hi, first post on this forum. I recently acquired a new Tudor BBB Dark in bracelet. I have BBB SS first version as well. I have both watches sized exactly the same.

I found out that the Dark version is a bit tighter than the SS version. Does anyone else has the same experience?

Lastly, how do you remove the side sticker without scratching the watch? The sticker is quite difficult to remove on this Tudor.

Thank you for your time and comments.

You can remove stickers from watches (and cars too) using a plastic pen cap (pen lid).

How long you had the other Tudor ? with use it may gain a lil micro stretch that will make it slightly less tight and match the older one. (Its only a hypothesis).

Thank you Ragna for your advise. The first BBB SS is less than 11 months old and seldom wear. The feeling of wear on day one is totally different. BBB Dark is much tighter on wrist.

Post some pictures with the bracelet. Haven't seen it on bracelet yet aside from ads

It might be due to the in-house movement. Read that it's thicker and the case back is slightly domed as a result. That might cause the Bbb dark to feel tighter

Yeah let's see some bracelet/clasp shots.

This.

Also, isn't the lug width slightly larger (23mm?) than the regular BB? I think I read that somewhere.

Both of you are right, after close comparison between BBB SS and BBB Dark. BBB Dark with new in-house movement is slightly domed. That's why it feels tighter.

Thanks everyone for your input and help.
