Got the call on Thursday and picked it up on Friday. Good thing I had my name on it as there were several others interested. Was initially looking for the strap model, but the bracelet is well made. Have looked at Tudor in the past, but have found them light and with a cheaply made bracelet.
The Black Bay has a good weight, so seems substantial.

The domed crystal is spectacular.

The clasps is solid and well built. Better than my LV.

Love the big crown and no crown guards. Lots of nice details as well.

Comparison with my LV.

The obligatory wrist shot. My wrist is 7 3/4"

Thanks for looking

Love the Black Bay. Looks great. I want one SOOOO bad!

Congrats!

Looks AMAZING!

So many cool things about that watch!

Cheaply made bracelets in the past? Weren't they identical to the Rolex Oyster?

A beautiful watch.

Best,

I think he's referring to the thin stamped clasps of older Rolex models. I really like the look of the Black Bay. Too bad they don't sell them in the US.

I'm liking that quite a lot. Is the only way to get one in the USA to buy from a forum member and have it shipped?
