Wristshot
Juliusotto shares a striking wristshot of his Tudor Black Bay Burgundy, highlighting its robust presence as a daily 'working tool.' His post not only showcases the watch's aesthetic appeal but also sparks a discussion among collectors about its design nuances and practical wearability. This thread delves into how the watch's case profile influences its perceived thickness on the wrist, offering valuable insights for those considering this iconic reference.
I deduce you are a hard working man who looks younger than his age. As for the tan, can’t tell if it is work induced or leisure induced. I like the burgundy piece a lot and sometimes catch myself wandering off in thoughts “should I get the burgundy as well?” By now, the smiley burgundy has turned out to be a good investment too. It is out of production.
Had to google the case height of this one. It's 12.7mm thick but looks thicker than actual probably because the case profile is one whole side of steel without any breaks. Contrast that with the Railmaster 60th at 12.8mm! It looks thinner even if it's thicker by a mm because there's a break between the case side and the case back with the latter hidden once it presses down the wrist. So it tricks the eye into thinking the watch sits lower than what the number suggests. I'm thinking if I can live
There’s also the Harrods and non-58 black versions, and Bucherer Blue on the resale market now. If I can find the Harrods in Australia I’ll be 9k poorer.
Due to the thinnesss of the case making it a more sincere tribute to the old snowflakes. I like my BB blue with the in-house movement but for the thickness of the sides which are not tapered down. Thin-ness is somewhat like a good woman - we never appreciate it until it is not there. You are lucky and made a great choice.
