New member, new Tudor owner

Hey everyone, just saying "hi." I've lurked on and off for a long time and finally took the plunge on Tudor Black Bay Blue, ETA version. It took me some time to come up with the cash and more time to decide which one. It was a tough call between blue and burgundy and another tough call between the old version and the new. Eventually I decided that the cleaner look of the blue would make for a better everyday watch and the look of the dial and ease of service outweighed the in-house and power reserve. Wrist pics to follow when it arrives.

Congrats in advance. I have seen a few "in the wild" and I can say it looks fabulous on the wrist and it is overall a great reference.

Congrats. I'm surprised you're able to pick up a NIB ETA version of the blue. Those sell like hot cakes. It's a great watch, enjoy it.
