Owner review: Tudor Black Bay 58 925
When I first tried the Tudor Black Bay 58 925 I didn’t like it. Why would one make a waterproof/dive watch with an easily scratching metal and a leather strap? And the taupe dial didn’t pop in the harsh shop lights. But there was something about it that made me take a second look, and…

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB
I have lusted after a Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB since 2018 when it was released alongside the Rolex GMT Pepsi. For some reason, I just found the Tudor more appealing and of course, it being half the price of the Rolex it seemed like the Tudor GMT was a much better value proposition. I…

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N
I have always loved the look of the original Paul Newman Daytona, that is why I was so excited when the Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N was released in 2021. I contacted my authorized dealer right away and ordered one, it took a while for the watch to arrive but in this case, the wait…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 36
Say ‘hello’ to the Tudor Black Bay 36 – a versatile piece that flies under the radar! It comes in at 36mm, which to me is a perfect size. I know there are those that say 36mm is too small but for me, this wears perfectly, and is so proportionate. I suppose Rolex agrees with…

You want to be Connery’s Bond and wear a Rolex 6538 “big crown” while lusting over its warm gilt dial with elegantly proportioned case and sharp deep chamfers… but need something robust and modern that doesn’t cost you a house deposit.. meet the modern 114060 Ceramic Rolex Submariner, but wait..it’s way too modern and clinical..…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B
Tudor took the watch world by storm when it reintroduced itself with the highly anticipated Heritage Collection in the early 2010s. Among all the models, the Black Bay heritage line played the most crucial role in reasserting the Tudor brand back to “relevancy.” I immediately fell in love with the Black Bay Red reference 7922R…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Dark – Come to the dark side
I would be lying if I said I was a long-time fan of the Tudor Black Bay Dark. In fact, I am not usually a fan of blacked out watches. So, it came as a surprise when I first laid my eyes on the watch in the flesh. Then holding it in my hands confirms…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay GMT
In 1954 Rolex launched the GMT-Master ref. 6542. It featured a 38mm steel case with a 6mm screw down crown, slim lugs, no crown guards and a red and blue bezel. The 24hr hand and two tone bezel was developed in partnership with Pan Am for their pilots. The red half of the bezel representing…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Heritage
Tudor unveiled the Heritage Black Bay Bronze at Baselworld 2016. I can remember seeing the press coverage on various watch websites and Instagram, the watch seemed to be generally well received. Personally, it wasn’t instant love for me, but I was intrigued and I wanted to learn more. Beyond knowing that Tudor was the sister…
