This watch is an addition of " Ifs"...
If only it didn't have this red ring around the crown...
If only its case was a tad less thick...
If only there wasn't such a mismatch in the design of the dial, with incorrect hands, and these circled indexes...
If only I didn't know the original models which inspired Tudor for this one ( 94010 / 7922 or 24 )...
I would have jumped on it, because of the perceived quality of the watch, because of its character, because of its price....
Best, Jocke, and thanks for this great article.

From a viewer's eye: The Tudor Black Bay............
Tudor Heritage Black Bay Ref 79220R It comes in a plain outer box of white cardboard. Inside this there is a brown inner box . A really nice piano lacquered wood box . That feels really lavish covered with a leather -like material. Holder , tag , warranty...
This is really a superb watch...
or your pics make it even more beautiful? The Black Bay is a very tempting watch at a reasonnable price. Thanks a lot for this in-depth presentation supported by stunning pics as usual. Fx

You play a big role in one of the IF's on my side
My friend when they released the watch i admit my attention got captured by the watch... but then seeing the heritage pic as tudor -according to their intention - made me think okay this is not totally vintage but fine... the hands are not accurate and sa...
Valid points,
but you should not think of it as a vintage remake----rather a tribute to the vintage model, and enjoy it for what it is---a truly attractive watch! best henry
Great photos!
Great photos Jocke! Looks awesome with your leather jacket! I'm starting to think this is a great addition to anyone's collection for a rugged slightly vintage look. Certainly something that's easy to coordinate with stylistically. Really like the watch!
I think Tudor will hire you soon
As the world wide ambassador. Great review and pictures. Thanks Bill
Inspiring
Thanks for a really good review on this watch, Jocke. I typically go past the Tudor stands but just from reading this review, I am going to check it out in the metal today. Great write up and beautiful pictures! Richard
Thanks for the Great review Jocke
After reading this....I would seriously have a look at the Black Bay. I've always wondered if the hands and hour markers are made of gold. Your confirmation makes this watch more appealing to me. Wonderful pictures as usual
After your review, I feel like buying one. :)
That's a very nice watch, and it looks even nicer in your pictures. Love the ancient smell that comes from it. But as Nicolas says in his post, there are some "ifs" that keep me thinking about it. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing. Vte :)
Stunning!!!
Best looking Tudor to me... Congrats Jocke. Your pictures are absolutely stunning! Kong
The pictures are incredibly lovely Jocke
And if I make the plunge, it is all your fault! :) Best Sam
Awesome pictures
Thanks for the great pics Jocke! This is really the first Tudor I'd like to own, it's beautiful.
Thank you all for the kind words and Nicholas........
I will go on and on and on and on and on with my pics until you like it. :-) :-) :-) :-)
A strong piece of my collection, indeed. Keep your eyes open, my friend.
There are a few spotting, from time to time... Best, Nicolas
A great
write up and fabulous photos! I completely agree with your fascination with this modern classic and have already joined you in acquiring it but with the bracelet version. best henry
The more I see that watch...
.... the more I like it. It is definitely growing on me. And, with pics like that, why the hell wouldn't it!?!?! Great pics as always Jocke! V/R Mike
