Love it when this happens.

Ever since the new BB 925 silver was introduced I knew I needed to add one to my Tudor Box. So the AD’s that I have spent a ton of money with have given me the slight BS shuffle regarding when I would get mine. Although I really wasn’t in a rush and knew they had die hard Tudor collectors to satisfy first the wait was starting to wear a tad thin.
Then completely out of the blue I was walking through my local town which has no Rolex or Patek AD when I just happened to look into the window of a Tudor AD’s window. There sat in the window to my astonishment was not one 925 but 2. One on leather and one on Nato. Well it took me about 30 seconds to decide to walk in and buy one of them. I decided on the leather and ordered a nato strap.
No prizes for guessing which local Tudor/ Omega AD Miles will be supporting in the future. Great to spend locally and support local companies. It did remind me of when I was a young boy and remember seeing a 6239 PN white dial in the window of Zales Jewellers for £425 🙈.
I am very happy today and absolutely love the Silver BB58 and can imagine it getting lots of wrist time.
Your nailed it again Tudor well done.
Happy Sunday all.

And as you can see it’s well worth walking past a few windows. Not that I’m some sort of window watcher 🙈😂😂. M.

I was fortunate to get one of the first all ceramic Black Bays in the US. It was my first watch from a particular dealer I had not worked with in maybe 6 years, but prior to that I bought a reasonable handful. They have since offered me the Silver, but so...
Huge Congrats, excellent catch

I do like these BB58s a lot and needed to add the 925 too when possible. I know i was lucky to get one within weeks after they released it . But like you i was surprised seeing them in the window with several ADs after i got mine . So not as successful or...
Congrats.

I absolutely love the 925, and if fact was offered one by my AD recently. However I declined as I’ve seen some horror stories about the tarnishing. I know Tudor say they’ve done some metallurgic magic to prevent this, but it seems a bit hit and miss. Such...
Congrats!

By: Miles_151 : November 17th, 2021-22:52
Yes both straps are spot on and both equally being out the qualities in this great watch. M.
Nice shot Bill.

Super super hairy arm you have there my friend. Good tan to boot. You obviously spend far too much time in the sun and on the water. 😜😜 Good on you I’m only jealous. M.
