Anybody own the Tudor BB Bronze slate 43?

This model (79250BA) has drawn me in for a while. Tudor seems to do bronze better than anyone else. Many other brands develop spotty and uneven patina (IWC as an example) while Tudor bronze seems to patina in a much more pleasing way.

Curious to get owner's experiences/opinions on this watch. What do you like and dislike? How do you like the size? Thoughts on the dial and bezel color and the degrade coloring on the dial? I think I want it on the leather but plan to add the Rubber B strap down the road.

This one has been on the top of my bronze wish list for a while but so far I've never pulled the trigger.

I purchased this exact one brand new from a fellow dealer here on the forum. It’s a beautiful watch but quite big for my wrist as I have a relatively small wrist. If you’re looking to buy one let me know as I may consider selling it and getting a smaller black bay. It comes new with box and warranty card dated January 2022

I own both the brown 43 and the new boutique 58 bronze. The 58 is way better with best tidor bracelet and amazing size. I would definitely recommend stretching a bit and getting the 58 bronze unless you have huge wrist above 7.5 inches.

I'm really not interested in a bronze bracelet. I live in a humid area and not particularly fond of a green wrist.

My wrist is 7.5" so the 43 works for me and the 39 wears a little smaller than I like. 41-43 is my sweet spot for sports watches.
