Incoming ETA B.B. from Tudor
Hiya,,
After collecting our Tudor BB green last week and seeing a lot of Tudors in the flesh,,,, i could hear two other BBs singing to me on the way home from Knightbridge,,,, Furthermore and with my wife loving the BB models,, we have decided to purchase a new unworn watch with most stickers attached and a full MF warranty less 2 months with a full set,,,,,,, We have gone for a Tudor ETA,,,,Blackbay Blue on black leather with that great deployment clasp and an extra blue Tudor nato style unworn strap [may add a bracelet in the near future],,,,,, I will post some pics when she arrives on monday or tuesday,,,, love the BB red on bracelet or distressed leather and we will add that model in the near future,,,, Our BB blue will be my daily wearer/beater so giving the dj2 a nice long rest,,,, pics to follow on arrival,,,,,,,,, |

Great choices! I would love to somehow manage to get my hands on a green version (for around msrp!) to add to my Black Bay collection. The red looks great on the bracelet as well:

I own Etas red and black but no blue. I believe the blue to me the least contrived as it lacks the faux patina which is on the others. Congratulations!!!

Hey Hogwald,,,,, See where your coming from and i have that look on the BB green and love the burgundy/red and we will add that in the next couple of months and probably on a bracelet,,, Same with the BB blue i will add an og bracelet soon,,,,,,, Really into Tudor and rare in "the field" seemingly,,,,,,,, Seeing the pics of cool blue bezel on black leather with that clasp and the different shades of the blue like purple,black,Chelsea blue ,,,etc just sang to me as did the the red/burgundy after seeing both "in the flesh" |

Nice catch on the B.B. green. Congrats!!!
I didn’t even know that existed until now. I was contemplating getting the TT black bay on the bracelet. Finally saw it in the flesh last week.....so glad I didn’t drop the $3500 on it. Saw the red and the blue on the strap....they look amazing! |

Congrats on the green and the blue is probably my favorite as, like mentioned, the faux patina isn’t there. Ss and Wg and clean look.
FWIW the leather strap on the blue (from the factory) is a distressed blue leather. It is pretty dark blue but it is blue. I sold the leather strap for mine when I put it on a bracelet. But this one is the most fun to play with on a strap. I wear mine on perlon fairly often as well. So versatile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Yep. It is so dark that only in the sunlight was I ever able to tell. I was not a huge fan so I swapped it and some cash for a bracelet with with another TRF member who wanted the strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
