... The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic is a MUST HAVE. Cheers! - Scott ...  

Why go cheap on the bezel? At least the 60 minute bezel insert is ceramic, I do wonder how the PVD part will hold up..

I think I'm done with the Black Bay line, they seem to really go cheap on certain important aspects. The bronze diver is the biggest flop though in my mind; who wants a 'diver' that you can't even take in the ocean and not have the bezel rot away? Some "d... 

Yeah, scratching my head here, take on another 1500 or so and go all out...

... This is why our forum is so important. Thanks for your input. All points are well taken and considered. - Scott

... A lot went into this movement. Money well spent.

The description says the disc is ceramic: "Unidirectional rotatable bezel in black-PVD-treated 316L steel with 60-minute graduated disc in black ceramic with sunray satin finish and engraved markings and numerals."

And wouldn't mind paying an extra K to make it black ceramic.

No worry about smacking the bezel and chipping an edge. As for scratching that ring and having it look different, no way. I have owned plenty of PVD watches and never had a problem. Then again, I have never found my countless AP Royal Oaks and Offshores t... 

I guess if you are not careless with the bezel you are good, or maybe I keep giving myself excuses not to buy this lol, cause otherwise I really like it!

The latest silver cased piece, the color scheme is very much to my liking. If I had a path to get the green Harrods version, it might have been my first green watch but I never did that. This new black one strikes me quite a bit, and in live photos and vi... 

Not sure I want to go see it, cause I think I might buy it on the spot! Let’s see if there is a markup though...

... A deposit. Probably a 30 day wait and I'm guessing the first run will sell out. Just a guess, but a good one.

Numerous claims about IWC's ceramic cases cracking and AP's forged carbon cases fraying. Certainly anyone can destroy any of these materials if they tried hard enough.

... My dad dropped his Panerai on a hardwood floor and a huge chunk of the carbon broke off. Anybody can destroy anything. I once saw a guy try to prove the crystal on his Rolex was unscratchable by dragging a diamond ring across it. He was wrong. - Scott... 

...  

Especially because they didn't black out the lume like others keep doing. ...  

... Just curious, are there other Tudors with the lume blacked out?

...  

...  

... But many have brought up very valid points. I have never owned a Tudor, but this seems like a good entry point.

... Only a matter of time before my next piece in the noble metal.

... Stainless Steel?

... It is nice. No date, which is also a plus. But at 39mm, not for me.

But unfortunately for me the strap is lacking... personally would wish for a rubber strap with better fit around the case... like rubberb does... or oysterflex for that matter... but that is just my 5c and the upside of that is I will save some cents for ...  

If i would get one i would definitely try to put it on a rubber strap .

... Rubber strap all the way. In orange.

... Pop. But either way, a rubber strap is the way to go. I still want orange!

But for certain it should be sold with a rubber option... it goes with the character of the series

I’m thrilled to see another brand offer a METAS certified movement. I hope Tudor expands that across the whole line. They’re already using silicon hairsprings.

... Blue lume instead of green.

... That it has no date!

:..METAS and display back! There must be some other tweak parts Tudor is not telling us about. Agreed, they need to offer a matching bracelet.
