... pictures of an unexpected capture of this week!
Threee days ago I visited one of my friendly watch stores just to say hello, and the owner asked me if I knew the new Tudor Black Bay Bronze.
I answered: "only through photographs of catalogs and web sites"...
"Ok, Let me show you something that have just arrived" he said with a smile while producing this watch from one of his desk drawers...
I should admit that I have had some reserves regarding this watch as I have read that its case measured two more mm than my current Black Bay Steel. But it was just viewing and trying it on my wrist and instantly falling in love. So I quickly decided to take it home.
The watch doesn´t feel much bigger than my Steel BB, nor heavier, though it actually IS a bit bigger and heavier.
It came with a vintage style leather straps, and this canvas Golden color Nato which I inmediately adopted in lieu of the leather ones.
It feels like the ideal summer watch: the Golden hue of its bronze case looks like a patinated gold and looks great against a tanned skin. It really looks striking on the wrist!
Today I took a few pictures under a wonderful sunny blue sky of our new Spring Season. It is a cool watch for sure!
Hope you´ll like it as much as I do! Hagwe friends!
Cordial regards, Abel.
Congrats on your purchase, very nice!
... also instantly fall in love with it if you try on your wrist! Cheers! Abel
that's the nice part about Alluminum bronze alloys. They don't tarnish easily like regular copper/tin alloys. Instead they have this vintage golden appeal which is kinda cool Hope you wear it in the best of health. Laurent
Of course, I\'m influenced by its bronze colour but I think this watch is the perfect companion for is owner during the autumn season with its specific colours and natural lights. I know that\'s not the case in Argentina now some you will give us (me!) other feelings in several months ;-) Enjoy and wear it in good health. HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro
big congrats! You will not regret this Mine says Hi Cheers Robin
Still undecided on this one. I really have to see it in the real, but " our ways " didn't cross, yet... Maybe one day. If it is conclusive, then I will have anther dilemma: The Red, the Black, the Bronze? Or both? At this price, you can consider getting them all... Best, Nicolas
