Tudor Black Bay steel

Does anybody on here own a black bay steel M79730-0006? If so what are your thoughts and maybe some pics that are not from the website. Thx

The search function can be quite useful in cases as such

No pic , but I love my Tudor BB Steel . I have 5 Rolex watches 2 IWC 3 Breitling 2 Omega but last year I bought two Tudors BB Steel and Pelagos LHD and they both get plenty of wrist time .

Yes, was actually my first Tudor pickup and thats how it all began ha. Really enjoy using it as a daily beater/ tool watch. I think this piece looks better on a nato strap though. I took the bracelet off and ended up picking 4-5 nato straps that Tudor offers and swapping them out.

For reference I have a small wrist - 6.5 and think it wears fine. No need to really baby it either I bang mine up pretty often. I'll see if I have any pics in my favorites and share

I don’t own one, but would prefer it over the black bay black or blue. The steel is where it’s at imo. No real analogue in the Rolex catalog. Maybe the yacht master but not really. The black is too close to the sub.

Underrated watch! A lot of people don't think about the fact that unlike the red/black/blue Black Bays, the Black Bay Steel has a date. I ended up getting a BB Chrono but if that didn't exist I'd have strongly considered the BB Steel. Some random pics from the web:

First time using Tapatalk, so far much easier. Here are some shots that were easier to find, along with the Tudor straps I picked up for it.

(6.5 wrist last I checked)

Thanks! Same, at that time was the only Tudor they didn’t remind me of a Rolex. Was pretty surprised how much I liked it when I first saw it. Highly recommend the BBS (found another don’t mind the text)

Great pic!!! This winter it’s will be between this or a Avenger II. I’m leaning toward BBS.

Slap the black bezel on this and it’s the perfect Black Bay.
