Black Bay Bronze

Post by smellody » Sat Mar 12, 2016 11:40 am

It is amazing. Not into or need another modern watch, but I will.have one of these. I was good with the original Black Bay. I don't get bronze watches ...but this one is a home run!

I am thinking the black or red bezel insert would look better. However having the numbers on the dial ruin it.
cheers,

No, they apparently made it bigger. It's 43mm with probably 52mm LTL. And bronze? Sorry, it's a fail for me. Shouldn't be part of the heritage line IMO.

I would be ok with the watch if it had no numbers on the dial and slightly smaller dimensions, thinner mostly.
Red triangle on bezel would be nice too.

I'm not sure I'd buy one, but I kind of like it.

i do like the dial... a lot.

the bigger case, no.
the bronze case, HECK no. Maybe they should have tried it about 3 years ago during the height of the bronze case fad.

Interesting to see a major manufacturer jump into the Bronze fad.

If it was the same setup in steel or titanium, I would be all over that.

I like everything about it, except the numbers on the dial. Would look great on leather.

Looks cool, but too big for me and I'm not a bronze guy. I've wanted to add a Tudor for a long time.

I like it, but I wouldn't buy one. The BB series is on the size cusp for me.
