Black Bay Blue
Well, I was going to do an on the wrist review of this one but I am going to wait and perhaps post a comparison to a Rolex relative at a future date. But this one has been on my wrist for the past week, and I must say, as many others have recently noted, Tudor is on a roll. The Black Bay Blue is bold in size, elegantly finished, comfortable, and just plain fun to wear. I have ordered but not yet received the blue leather strap and deployant Tudor offer for this one. Looking forward to posting some pics of that when I have a chance to put it on.
Best,

Nice blue bezel. The snowflake hand is a quirky delight.
Bracelet feels as nice as a Rolex to me.
I like the beveled case.
Crown=boldness!
And it all comes together beautifully.

Congrats, Jed. Yes, I am very tempted, too.
That is just a cool Watch, without any other pretention than providing joy and fun... Isn't that the most important, after all? Best, Nicolas
Prior to the Blue release, the Red had my attention..
But now, the Blue seems to be more long lasting to stand as a classic, IMHO, due to the color matching which i find black and blue to be very balanced as compared to the previous Red and gold.. sounds like a very comfortable, easy to handle piece to be wo...
The Red has it's charms, too.
For me, the Blue seemed more wearable, but it was close. I suspect as many like the Red as the Blue, and the gilt dial of the Red is cool, too. Best, CaliforniaJed
The Red is warmer, cooler, but the Blue is easier to wear, I think.
I saw the Red not a long time ago, and was pretty convinced. I need to see the Blue, to be sure... At this level of price, you can almost try to get both. ;) Best, Nicolas
Overall, a very nice piece.
Very tempting to say the least. I'm also partial to the blue! cheers fernando
