Tudor Black Bay Steel & Gold Canine Survival Test

I was convinced that my new Tudor Black Bay could survive even the hardest, toughest, roughest, most destructive of all tests:




So I accepted the self-imposed challenge and searched for the most vicious and maleficent of all testers I could imagine.

Here is the innocent victim: Tudor Black Bay Steel & Gold on a comfortable textile strap:



The villain casting was attented by a number of mean-looking individuals, all routined criminals, convicted for numerous felonies and crimes and hardened in the brutal school of kennel prisons:



You will of course appreciate that I made sure matching colours with the watch and strap were a condition for the job, so I had the few none-matching creatures removed from the scene.

The job hearings and exams included several disciplines, like "limited destruction and tearing of textile components":




... and "total destruction of larger and more sophisticated structures in coordinated teamwork":



Then the watch was handed over to the experts, and the true test could begin:





Pair slobbering, a very popular discipline:



Further tests included strap gnawing, lug biting, crown nibbling, and many other examples of menace.



Now dare to look into the eye of death:













Well, did the watch survive? Barely, as did I, your innocent witness and chronicler, who scarcely escaped this feast of bloodshed and destruction, only to report of things impossible to believe ....

Finally, the testers were allowed to enjoy their well-earned recreational pause:




I sincerely hope you see this timepiece with grown respect and increased admiration. I do not believe any other watch could have survived that massacre!

Yours, Marcus
