Why go cheap on the bezel? At least the 60 minute bezel insert is ceramic, I do wonder how the PVD part will hold up..
Especially because they didn't black out the lume like others keep doing.
But unfortunately for me the strap is lacking... personally would wish for a rubber strap with better fit around the case... like rubberb does... or oysterflex for that matter... but that is just my 5c and the upside of that is I will save some cents for now
Iβm thrilled to see another brand offer a METAS certified movement. I hope Tudor expands that across the whole line. Theyβre already using silicon hairsprings.
I think I'm done with the Black Bay line, they seem to really go cheap on certain important aspects. The bronze diver is the biggest flop though in my mind; who wants a 'diver' that you can't even take in the ocean and not have the bezel rot away? Some "diver".....
Yeah, scratching my head here, take on another 1500 or so and go all out...
