The Unplanned Tudor

Post by what-time-is-it »

I know we have quite a few Tudor owners and haters on here, but I've been close to buying a couple in the last 12 months or so, but for various reasons it never quite happened, until last weekend and resulting in me collecting the watch today.

So what have I bought? All will be revealed later this evening.

Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

I had the same problem last weekend went to look at the new SMP but came
back with a BB58 which had come into stock a few days earlier a fantastic watch.
The quality for the price is unbeatable as good as my BB GMT so whatever you have
got you will not be disapointed. :thumbup:

Interesting Chris. Waiting with baited breath.

As to owners on the forum, yes there are a few. Haters? Not so sure. More like; haven't felt the calling yet (in my case).

Opted for the leather, but most likely will pick up the nato at a later date. 2019 models sadly don't come with 2 straps :thumbdown: but I think the watch is spot on.

Fantastic watch! Just wish it would fit my small wrists :( haha. Love a lot of Tudor watches but most don’t fit me. I’ve got a BB58 so waiting patiently for more smaller releases.

Nice one Chris.

I would prefer it on the NATO but I can see the sense in starting with the leather strap, and working up from there.

One thing I seemed to have missed is, in what way was this purchase unplanned?

That is very nice and I love the new colour.

I’ve been put off in the past by the 43mm BB bronze as the other traditional (non 58) BB’s have a reputation for wearing rather large. As a comparison how does it seem in comparison to a 43 mm CW Trident (I’m assuming here that you can make such a comparison)?

Very nice, one of the new Baselworld BB Bronze models :thumbup:

It reminds me of the Tudor BBBBB (Bronze Bucherer Blue version) which I've long admired. That also comes on a nato which i think really suits the watch, I see you are going to get a nato too. Yes a bit mean that Tudor no longer provide two straps. I got a nato with my BBN which came on the bracelet but my GMT also on the bracelet also has no spare strap :thumbdown:

I don't recall really any Tudor hating on the forum, the opposite as quite a few members own one.

Great addition to your collection!

They came into stock quickly! With Tudor stopping the two strap policy i guess it is a way of keeping the prices relatively the same, but for less. just a bit of downsizing similar to the confectionary industry.

The bronze looks great and has damaged the resale market for the Bucherer version.
