I am still after a blue Patrick, I just saw the black one in my local town and thought I will try it on and it looked good. The only blue version I have seen of this version was on the internet and it is in London.
Now I have an idea I can try a blue in house version on in Goldsmiths.
It has all the paperwork and NATO strap

Re: What is the difference.
That being the rare eta version (unless I have my assumptions wrong) I would say that is a decent price and this will be the one to go up in value due to the low numbers out there.matski171 wrote:Just found this in the local watch shop, what do you think and is it a good price at £2150 for a 2016 model.
I tried it on and it was very comfortable and a very solid watch, built like a tank.
Picture taken from internet.
can anyone else confirm my thoughts...?
Cheers now, Paul

Agreed, that might be wishful thinking on my part as I have this model but I have heard that theory a few times and prices do seem to be on the rise.stefs wrote: That being the rare eta version (unless I have my assumptions wrong) I would say that is a decent price and this will be the one to go up in value due to the low numbers out there.

Hopefully not wishful thinking Patrick, as I have one as well!Thegreyman wrote:Agreed, that might be wishful thinking on my part as I have this model but I have heard that theory a few times and prices do seem to be on the rise.stefs wrote: That being the rare eta version (unless I have my assumptions wrong) I would say that is a decent price and this will be the one to go up in value due to the low numbers out there.

I have even reached the stage with mine, which is still mint condition, that it's sort of been moved to my very rarely worn, don't risk any damage pile!

Re: What is the difference.
ETA for me. Most of the reasons have already been listed. I tried the in house against the ETA a couple of times locally and the lower profile and flat back of the case were the main factors. I also prefer the rose and smiley face text.
Took me some time to hunt down a NIB ETA with warranty but I finally did.
I really wanted the S&G but it just sat too high on my wrist.

Re: What is the difference.
No I still think it's a great watch. It's just that when I want to wear a smart dive watch on bracelet, I tend to wear my SubC. I keep the BBN on a vintage strap and generally wear watches with straps less than bracelets.matski171 wrote:Neil, why is that? are you not getting on with it.
I am certainly not put off by what are often described as the 'slab' sides of the BBN. It sits flat to the wrist and in my view wears a NATO better than watches with a prominent case back.

Purchased the Black Bay Blue today with in house movement. I’ll take some photos tomorrow.

Whichever you choose, Steveo does a strap which will fit the Tudor deployant clasp.
So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day.
