Incoming - Black Bay 36

This was a surprise incoming. I was walking past a shop window and seen the BB36 on leather strap was reduced in a sale (34% off) and I couldn't resist. I already had my eye on a BB36 but thought it would be a year or two down the line (as I fairly recently picked up a BB58).

My wife was with me but thankfully I was able to distract her by getting her to look at 30th birthday presents and she picked out a ring.





Hopefully I wont be tempted to pick up any others for a wee while...

Great duo! Pickup a set Bergeon 7825 pliers and add a new strap next time you get an itch. My BB58 takes to straps wonderfully!

Looks great on the strap! I'd like to get one actually but the bracelet does seem like a pain to take off. I'll look into those pliers.

The pliers make all the difference in the world. Worth the premium. Also, your AD can source an extra deployant clasp for you at a reasonable price. Tudor isn’t finicky like Rolex about those things.

The strap my BB36 came with seems very small (for my 6.5" wrist). The AD will contact Tudor for a bigger size but I never even realised they offered different sizes.



Does anyone know if Tudor offer different strap lengths.

Overall, delighted with the watch. So comfortable to wear.

Dang that watch looks great on you. Fits very well.

Great duo by way, and congrats!

Very nice with the leather strap.

Do you know how much a BB36 steel bracelet is worth?

Been contemplating the blue 36mm as a future purchase. Beautiful piece!

Thanks all. I've looked into the leather strap and it seems it's just made quite small. I'll have to remove one of the loops.

Is the one on the strap that beautiful or are you just a really good photographer? That looks amazing and great deal...
