Spending the week in Corsica with my Black Bay 36.

Here’s a beautiful sunset from last Sunday.

How lucky we are to live not too far from such beautiful places.
Enjoy your Andalusian stay too!
Best, Emmanuel

Return on Saturday for me…

And like the original Black Bay 36 a lot, enjoy!

Your island is such a beautiful place !
Best, Emmanuel

And the BB 36 is a very good and simple travel companion.

Corsica still on the to-do list, ideally done behind the wheel of a ragnotti-painted Renault 5 turbo!

I wouldn’t know how to properly drive an R5 turbo, anyway…🤷🏽‍♂️
But Corsica has many beautiful places!

Thank you, Larry.

Enjoy your stay. I really love your Tudor. A perfect travel companion. I’ve actually looked at it several times but I already have an Explorer 1 for many years and decided they where to close to each other. I have one Tudor that I enjoy and treat as a true tool watch. Here is my beater 

I’m flying home tomorrow but it’s been a very nice week in a place I’ve enjoyed very much.

Just as you did for the BB36, I’ve tried on your Pelagos 39 twice, as well as the bronze BB58, and I was tempted each time, but ended up thinking my BB36 was enough for me, as I only wear this type of watch briefly during summer.

These three watches (1st gen BB36, Pelagos 39 and BB58 bronze) share a detail which I really like, the snowflake seconds hand, which, sadly for me, is now replaced on many models by a lollypop hand (I personally like it less).

The first gen BB36 is a very nice simple GADA watch. Good looking (very clean semi-dark blue lacquered dial), great legibility, incredible lume (photo found online, not mine, but very faithful to reality).
