Incoming - Tudor BB Blue

Very happy with this one! Thinking it will make a nice companion to my 116613LB.

Congratulations love the Blue bays. The fabric strap in background looks lighter blue than mine. Lighting? They usually look almost black.

I think it's the lighting. Looks darker in person.

Very very nice! I got mine too with the steel bracelet but at the moment I have it with the NATO. Mine is black.

Enjoy in good health!

Thanks! Saw yours the other day. Looks great. I'll have to get mine a try with the strap, as well.

Big fan of the blue bezel color. Just something about it that is perfect to me.

As a side note, can someone fill me in on when they made the move from the Tudor rose to the shield? Can you still find new old stock with the rose?

I believe they changed to the shield with the new in-house movement around 2017. Someone told me you can find this one NIB if you look hard enough, but I just went with a pre-owned.

The single greatest tragedy of the pandemic is that we didn't get an announcement of BB58 models in previous Black Bay colourways.

Awesome - congrats on a great watch. To me this version wins with the rose plus curved lettering. Gotta imagine it will be much rarer down the line.

Beautiful piece I think Tudor is down placed to its Rolex counterpart. The Blue Pelagos with an in house movement at 70hr power reserve.
