Need more BB36 love in here

Went looking at watches today, at a somewhat distant AD, and was glad to finally try on the Black Bay 36. (Sorry for the bad lighting pic and the plastic over the crystal.) I've been feeling like my time with the Explorer is about up, and this all but sealed the deal. What a great piece.



Also finally tried on a Speedmaster Professional and I'm a little shocked by how much I love it. The poor Explorer is feeling especially lonely now...

I think it is a hot watch. Being a small man, I love the size. It is similar to my 75090 in size and it is comfy.

Love this watch! Have an average size wrist and it looks great. I have contemplated buying many times. It is a shame nowadays the market is calling for Watches 42mm and over more often than not

If you have a 6.5in wrist then a 36mm watch looks perfect in photos and perhaps even large depending on the perspective. The only issue is that there are plenty of vintage Rolex in the same price range. My 16013 cost me $2500 which is less than the list of the BB36. It does have great lume however. For a modern 36mm it's a great price.

My AD sold two 36 black bays in the last few days. It turns out they are one of the most popular Tudor watches for his store. My friend asked me put a deposit for one and he told me that the 36 is in much higher demand than the 41.
Guess the people who buy them like to enjoy them and don't spend time in watch forums. I would qualify them as normal. Guess they like the watch for what it is and not what it represents.

It’s a nice watch, clear distinct dial. Too bad your Explorer has fallen out of favor, I’m still loving mine, it’s a great watch.
