Icon20 Latest Addition - Tudor Heritage Black Bay

After many phone calls and emails, I finally got the call on Tuesday that there was a Black Bay waiting for me in Amsterdam! To cut a long story short, I cashed in a few air miles, hopped on a flight to Amsterdam and finally landed back in London late last night!!

I'll be honest and admit that I was slightly worried that the watch wouldn't live up to the beautiful pictures that I'd seen, but within 1 second of seeing it, I realized that definitely wasn't the case!! The red bezel contrasts beautifully in different lights and the dial is just stunning! And to top it all off, the bracelet is pretty good too!! I can definitely see this becoming my new daily wearer

I am no photographer so I hope my iPhone pictures don't take away from the beauty of the Black Bay but here are a few snaps of what I would like to think is one of the first Black Bay's in the UK!!

It looks terrible, you should sell it. Please let me know before you list it and I will make an offer.

Congrats! I had the pleasure of trying one on here in Norway yesterday and it's a real beautiful piece.

I'm now waiting for one with leather strap to arrive.

Enjoy!

So nice. I especially like the contrast of the red bezel insert to the darker dia and thick hands. I haven't seen in on in person, yet...
