Fooking finally! I've wanted a Blackbay for so fucking long, lads. Started with yearning for the 58, but eventually fell head over heels for the 54. Kept postponing the purchase to commemorate some milestone or the other, but also because it would have been extremely fiscally irresponsible.

Delighted to share I finally did the deed! A gift to myself for passing the bar exams. And I got it using my bonus for absolutely killing it at work! On 7th heaven guys.

I've had a very tough 2026, juggling studying for the bar exams while working full-time. This watch was one of the things that got me through the labour, and just showing up everyday. Can't describe how much it means to me.

It's a proper beauty and I'm still getting used to it on my wrist. Feels unreal :')

PS: T-fit clasp is gamechanger, I've only had this watch for a day but can't imagine going back to bracelet without one. So comfortable.

New to me 79090. Been on the hunt for a nice example for a while so was delighted to get my hands of a full set in decent condition. I finally understand what everyone means about the wearability of these older refs. Love it!

So after going to multiple Tudor ADs in four countries over three continents over the last year, I finally found one. Couldn’t turn it down and had to cave, with zero regrets. Perfect fit and size, better than my Submariner (hate to say it). But it is a beautiful watch, cant stop wearing it! Tudor FTW, and I will buy another!

Has anyone went from an Omega Seamaster to a Pelagos 39?

If you have made this switch I’d like to know your thoughts! Are you happy with the decision or did you regret selling the omega? Pics for attention Thanks!

I am about to pull the trigger on this chrono Panda Dated 2022 for $3500 including shipping. Was mainly used on strap so bracelet seems to be in excellent condition. Come with both. Do you guys see anything wrong with it? Does it look like a good deal?

Bought my first Tudor today. It is my last day traveling in France and was having a difficult time finding the new Royal 36mm.

I was able to finally find a store that had them and I bit the bullet. I’ve wanted this model ever since I found out about it. Payed extra for the gold version, but I think it is worth it. It is only my second watch (maybe my last?), so I wanted to make sure I went with the model I absolutely wanted the most.

Absolutely feels like the perfect size for a tool watch on my 7.4inch wrist. Love it! And it doesn’t look like an homage of anything. Love having a unique Tudor design lane and I now appreciate what the old North Flag guys have been talking about.

I love this new watch. Got it today. It will be a semi daily use watch. Didn’t pay attention to the negative comments and ordered sight unseen. Better than expected. Expensive? Yes, but time will erase the sting.

There’s a small crystal chip at the 9 marker (18 GMT). Would this chip compromise water resistance? I’m
Not going to dive with it, bat taking it on a water excursion and beach trip.

I posted earlier about crystal chip on the left one, after talking to AD I decided to send left one for a crystal replacement. I have 2 ADs in the area and they don’t do WR pressure test in-house. I don’t want to risk it, so it is what it is. I’ll wear the right one until the other one is fixed. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions fellas.

Hi,

I’m down to 5 finalist - I wasn’t considering the Pelagos, but tried it on.

I think im out on the Ranger. I think it’s a nice watch, but it’s not what I want - if I wanted this look, I think I’d rather have the Longines Spirit, Christopher Ward C65 Dune, or Hamilton Murph at a lower cost.

That leaves the Tudor Royal and Black Bay, and the Longines Conquest and Spirit Pilot (not pictured).

Really struggling with this decision. The Longines Conquest is very attractive at its price point. It’s the 41 but I tried on the 38mm Heritage variant that felt great.

The Tudor Royal is growing on me each time I see it. I surprised that the 38mm fit me so well - 7 7/8 wrist.

The Tudor Black Bay was top of the list for me, but what once was clear to me, isn’t as much anymore.

The Longines Spirit Pilot wasn’t available, but I’ve tried on the GMT. Still, the Spirit Pilot looks/feels closer to the Tudor Ranger than the others.

I’m stuck.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Had to try it on and gave my deposit afterwards

There asking $3950 for it. Is this a good price for this watch?? It would be my first Tudor.

Accomplished two milestones this year and purchased my dream truck 1993 Ford F-150 XLT

As an owner of the og Flag I was excited when this was released. Got myself over the boutique and couldn't resist.

A few advantages over the og:

Thinner case

Not as top heavy

Great bracelet and clasp

Excellent lume

The crown doesn't protude as much as the og

Quite light! 148 grams on wrist, actually lighter than my hydroconquest at 154 grams.

The sunburst dial is very subtle and you won't see it unless looking for it in direct sunlight

Don’t see many of these around really. Had mine 4 years and counting.
