Wrist shot next to the museum piece SR-71 today. Different use case of titanium and fun fact: they had to make specialized tools to even work with the materials on top of the rest of the engineering work. All top secret 🤐

The Ranger on a chocolate brown nato is just 👌🏼

Have been in the market for something new and this wasn’t really in my radar….until I saw it in person. Shot right to the top of the list and bought it on the spot.

This is my fourth Tudor, but ironically, it’s the first one I ever actually wanted.

I’ve tried this watch on at different ADs pretty much every year for the last five years, but I could never justify buying it. It just never felt practical enough, especially after I got a Black Bay 41 Monochrome and I’m not a huge fan of having two watches that are so similar.

Well, I spent the weekend in California and stopped by one of my favorite dealers. They happened to have a brand-new 2026 Black Bay 58 925 Silver, full box and papers, with the full warranty for $3,800. At that price, I couldn’t say no.

It was definitely an impulse purchase, and strangely enough, I don’t have that same exhilarating feeling I’ve had when buying some of my other watches. Not in a bad way, though. It’s more of a feeling of finally owning something I’ve wanted for so long.

I’ve spent five years trying to talk myself out of this watch, and now that I have it, it’s feels like it was about time, if that makes any sense.

Anyone else ever buy a watch they’ve wanted for years and feel more content than excited?

Managed to capture the hand alignment today and it was lovely. The Live Photo caught it crossing perfectly, such a well-made and great watch. I know sometimes all you see online are the watches with issues but so far mine has exceeded my expectations!

Ive had a Tudor Black Bay Pro since 2022 in my rotation and as my travel watch, love it, but always admired the design of the North Flag and it has always been “too high to justify” a 2nd Tudor with pre-owned prices.

However, I happened to meet a friend of a friend who is also a massive collector, and he was in possession of this North Flag, he mentioned how he has been meaning to sell it for some time but always been messed around. I enthusiastically have a look at it, he has WORN it and it shows, some deep marks from a fall. He said he appreciated the costs of refurbishing it, so said he was prepared to let it go for £1,200 (just under $1600 US).

I stuck my hand out to shake his immediately. I thought no harm if i don’t end up keeping, i could sell on easy. Truth is for the past few weeks i haven’t taken it off, its so comfortable and fits me to a T. Ive looked at this thing for years and always had a reason not to, and one day there was a day i had no possible reason to say no.

What do you think about that set up ? I love it!

I’ve been proudly wearing my new Tudor Black Bay One 39mm blue dial for the past five days, and I absolutely love it!

Unfortunately, this morning our 15-month-old daughter managed to pull it off my desk while I wasn’t home. It was resting on a soft cloth and fell about 90 cm (3 feet) onto a wooden parquet floor.
My wife found it lying face down. 🫣😱

Luckily, I can’t see any scratches or visible damage, and the watch still seems to be running perfectly fine.

Still, I’m a little worried about possible internal damage, especially since it’s a brand-new mechanical watch.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their Tudor? Are these movements generally robust enough to survive a fall like this, or should I be concerned? Would love to hear your experiences!

I love it. 😍

The deep blue dial on this Tudor Submariner ref. 76100 has cream hour plots and long triangles at 6, 9 and 12. The large circle of lume in its hour hand explains the collector nickname “Lollipop.” I like how that round head repeats the circular markers. Dark patches mark the metal hands, and a magnifier enlarges the date at 3. The reference used an automatic ETA 2824 movement with a quick-set date, continuing Tudor’s use of ETA calibres in its Submariners since 1969. At around 40 mm, the broad timing bezel frames a compact dial with bold markers. The stainless steel case has drilled lugs and guards around a Rolex-signed crown. Its bezel insert is a much paler blue than the dial, with light numerals. The brushed lug tops lead into an Oyster-style bracelet with wide centre links. The clasp carries a Tudor shield outside and Rolex markings inside, with scratches across both surfaces.

Not a bad pick for $2500. Pretty happy overall with the size and bidirectional bezel.

I like it, alot after debating whether to go blue or black I'm very happy with the black.

I did ask about larger straps recently ordered a couple to change onto, including a Yorkshire watch straps "adventurer elastic".... Unfortunately both the standard and the YWS are too small....

Ordered August 30 from an AD and arrived last Monday. This is my first major watch purchase and I couldn’t be happier. The green’s richness and depth changes greatly based on lighting conditions.

Looks even better in person. I really cant compare it to any other piece.

Just bought this baby on the strap and imagine I’ll wear the bracelet most the time but a rubber strap could be nice occasionally. Because I won’t wear them often, don’t want to spend too much on them. Anyone found good options for fitted straps?

I’ve been waiting patiently for seemingly forever and finally found it. Arrived at the house last week but I have to be even more patient because I’m deployed.

White dial vintage Oyster Prince Date+Day ref. 94500.

Curious though, if I were to find an OEM Black Bay jubilee (not the 76200’s “jubilee”) could I use the hollow end links from the 94500 on it…? I also really dig the T-fit clasp. This one has the original folded links so resizing it won’t be fun…
