Unexpected purchase - Tudor Royal
Went into the TUDOR boutique inquiring about a BB58 and came out with this.

This watch was not on my radar at all. It looks stunning in person and has a nice quality feel & heft to it. While roman indices would have been my first pick, I don't mind the extra sparkle.

Incredible value. Slim, sleek & perfectly sized. A great all-rounder.

Will add more pics during day time tomorrow.

I was tempted to get this piece but my gf didn't like the bezel. Guess I'll keep saving for something else lol

Nice - congratulations! I hope you’re still planning on getting a BB558 though because that really is a special watch.

Stunning! I love the integrated bracelet and blue dial on this reference. I have an order in with my AD and have been waiting 6 months for mine (with Romans). Hope to get it soon

Nice! I put a deposit down for one 4 months ago but my AD still hasn't gotten any. Seems like they're not in the US yet

For anyone interested, here is a picture for size reference on 7” wrist. The two tone is beautiful and I prefer it in 38mm over 41mm. For steel I prefer 41mm with day date.

(Not comparing to Royal Oak, but I believe most people would be familiar with the size/wear. Hope it is helpful)
