About 48 hours in, the Black Bay Ceramic has neither gained nor lost a second.
Performing as advertised.
Incredibly pleasing entrance into the world of Tudor for me.

Oh, yes: how much do we love accurately running watches 😀👍
A nice detail is the "rough stone or slate like " looking bezel, where others go for a polished ceramic finish.
Absolutely, I agree.
On both points! And the bezel rotates quite well. I think I read a criticism that it felt "tinny" and was loose... definitely not on my sample. It is A-OK
That would have been a much more original strap to include in the box
The stock options look "ok", but the rubberized one is a bit clunky IMO.
Nice catch!!!
I really like all of the wonderful materials used in this watch - looking forward to more posts in the future!! Enjoy! Peter
Handsome watch..
I am a big fan of Tudor watches, and have been collecting them since 2012. This new ceramic model looks really great! I love the understated, tool-like vibe, and it's nice to see the 'Black Bay' name on the dial, too. Hope you thoroughly enjoy it.
I have no objections to the metal crown and bezel ring
Whether it was a cost savings move or for another reason. Maybe Tudor will quickly change to everything ceramic, and a few of these hybrid birds will be flying around
It does look super cool Michael with the green strap!
Really excited for you on its amazing performance !
It will be one to try some other black straps too
I have an old 24mm carbon fiber strap. I held it to the case and LOVE it. Alas, too wide of course, but I would like a similar option.
Finally Black Bay on the dial!!!!
And that Master Chronometer is so clever, it distinguishes it from the Rolex. Bravo Tudor and bravo Michael!
A good picture showing the dial from a new Monochrome review

When I first saw it, I thought I might reverse the order
MASTER CHRONOMETER on top, and BLACK BAY below it. But it works like it is.
Thx for update
Live this model and you posting pics and details only increases wanting one. Waiting on the call from AD..... Enjoy your time.
How Does The...
... Strap feel? Have you had the chance to put the alternative strap on the watch?
Clunky (the rubber one)
Not a fan of it or the clasp. You can see in my latest photos I am using my own strap.
Yes, I Saw That...
... There is a company that makes a great rubber strap. What is the measurement at the lugs? I cannot find that info on the web for some reason.
The answer can be found on this very board.
Just a few threads down in fact! 22mm. Happy strap buying
You bet. Can't wait to see the strap you order!
I think you ordered the watch, hope it arrives soon. Total winner in my opinion.
I Am So Glad You Like It...
... And I hear we will see each other soon enough. Looking forward to it. - Scott
Yes, 41mm, although it surely looks smaller to me
The thickness is OK. I recognized it might be rather chunky before it arrived from the stats, but a few of the mm are the caseback protrusion. It sits OK on my wrist.
