Last 2 week, I drop a full deposit to book a unit of Tudor Black Bay Bronze... unit estimated to reach around last week of January...
I’m in dilemma now.. I like the bronze on Tudor Black Bay Bronze.. but I like the symmetry look of Tudor Black Bay Black... and I like the date on Tudor Black Bay SG....
According to the AD, I can change my mind anytime if I would give up the Black Bay bronze...
So what do you guys think??

Suggest you get the black bay black. It's the right size at 41mm and has that vintage charm with the red triangular marker on the bezel.

i will vote for black bay black. otherwise u can get Black Bay blue Bronze.

Tudor Black Bay black is better.. Looks good on all straps from black, brown leather, or any nato straps.. Cant go wrong with a black dial watch
-
I'm a Tudor fan having had its BB and Pelagos. If this is not your only watch, then the bronze would actually be a fun conversation piece. But if it was the only daily beater, then yes, the s/steel may be a better all-rounder choice.

The Bronze being 43mm, don’t you think it is going to look big on your wrist?

Initially plan was to go to the AD and ask to convert the watch to black bay black... now they twist the story say if the black bay bronze can’t reach on time, only I can choose to change the watch.. sad.... maybe its fate for me to go with black bay bronze..

I’m quite used to big watch... so the first time I see the 41mm black bay black, I feel like kinda small... but I think it should fit better on my wrist...

Yes this Ball looks very large on your wrist. Look at the lugs! What is the size of this watch?

That's the 43mm Fireman, right? It would appear that the lugs were protruding beyond your wrist, and the Fireman was already a fairly thin watch IIRC (I had the Fireman Night Train DLC). So with the 43mm BB Bronze being generally thicker and with longer lugs, it may feel bigger on your wrist.
-
Thank you so much for the advice.. seems like the 41mm Black Bay Black is the choice... seems like need to sell off my Black Bay bronze.. 🤣🤣

ok, here is the catch, since the bronze is more expensive than the bbb, so usually they dont allow you to change
if that is another way around, then they will probably allow you to change the watch

Who told you that only paying in full will secure you a piece? Those are no ceramic Daytona and can be found easily all around KL.

I’m talking on the black bay bronze only... not sure about the Daytona thou... I have checked with few different AD, all need to pay full to secure a unit.. but it’s too late to argue now, I can only wait for the watch to come now..

I understand that but the vendor tricked you into making you believe you had to paid full amount.

Black bay bronze indeed a beauty to own. This piece gonna stand out among all the others black bay

Black bay bronze is indeed a beauty as it develops patina overtime. Wear it in good health, do post some picture when it's arrived! :thumbsup:
-
I've tried on my uncle's Black bay Bronze around late December when he got it at KLCC AD.
Im coming for a Pelagos and what I can say is that the thicker case of the BBBronze and thicker leather strap makes the watch oozes quality and heft ! A good piece indeed !
Either way, you wont regret your purchase !
Best regards,
-
Cool.. guess that won’t go wrong with either one...

BB bronze is an amazing watch, I'm sure you won't have any regrets getting one.
Unfortunately i have really small risk, so my next target will be the BB Dark.
Love the BB Dark with the PVD treated steel bracelet !
-
I would go for black bay bronze
-
TUDOR MATT BLACK DISC "RIVET" STEEL BRACELET! :)
-
I would say BB bronze because of its vintage look. Try it on and see which 1 you feel in your heart!

I started the Tudor in-house movement genre in my collection recently. Got the MT5612 and MT5603 in the collection (Pelagos and Black Bay). Looking at the MT5652 GMT Black Bay and MT5621 North Flag soon to complete the Tudor inhouse collection.

My vote for Pelagos!

I would go for bronze. It is special and the patina over time is the value it hold. Like luxury bag.
-
im eyeing the black bay 58 bad, missed the chance to purchase at midvalley exhibition couple weeks back :(
-
Prior to Baselworld 2018, the pieces that spoke to me were the Black Bay Burgundy (rose) and Pelagos (2-liner), and re-intepreted Monte Carlo Blue, and nice pieces they made while they were in my collection. After Pepsi GMT was released during Baselworld 2018, I would opine that it represented the new Tudor piece that truly stood head and shoulder above the rest.
-
I cannot wait to see what they will do with the BB58 collection. A blue one (bezel and dial) like the “French Marine Nationale” will be out of this world. A GMT on a thinner case will be great too.

Agree that a blue BB58 will look really good
-
Is the BB58 out in Malaysia yet?
Found out about it from this thread and Googled it.
Now, I've fallen hard for it.
-
Eyeing on BB58 too, perfect size for small wrist like me.
Some said BB58 have vintage submariner vibe in term of size.
-
+1 for the BB58, great size and wearability, on strap feels amazingly vintage, perfect for my 6" wrist :Laughing_on_floor:

Does the black Bay retain its value over time?

I think only certain rare models will retain or even appreciate, like the ETA BB Black, Harrods BB Green, Bucherer BB Bronze Blue. But now secondary price of the GMT is crazy.

Just got this baby during the weekend and swapped out the excellent steel bracelet for leather. Loving the versatility. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180829/615266e8c0f13847e1e3e9e8f51c1295.jpg)

Personally like GMT Pepsi and Blue Pelagos
-
Having been a Tudor fan since the BBB came out and having the chance to add quite a few pieces over the years, I find that their most versatile piece todate could be the GMT. And coupled with the way the Tudor pieces tend to depreciate out of showroom, it was refreshing to finally have a Tudor that could go at a premium like its elder sibling :thumbsup:

Was thinking if Tudor could issue a 2 tone Root Beer or Bronze GMT next year?

The new release GMT and the rose version BBB got my votes.

I really wish tudor will start producing the BBs in 40mm and thinner, making them generally more elegant even if they are arguably meant to be utilitarian.

Love my Harrods Tudor - suits people with bigger wrists. BB58 is a nice watch but 39mm and thinner, personally I think it suits people with smaller wrists. The new chrono S&G is also very nice. GMT goes without saying.

Smiley face BBB, they tends to holds value now...
Btw, how long did you waited for GMT?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Not sure about others, but from my personal experience I did not have to wait too long for the so-call 'hot' models.
For the GMT, I placed my name on the list with several ADs for the metal bracelet model. Got the first call about 2 months after. However, I was outstation when I received the call and could not make it back to KL on time. Had to let that go. The second call from a different AD came about 2 weeks after that.
For the BB Bronze, got the call after 2 weeks from 2 different ADs.

You mind share which AD ? I’m still waiting on my GMT, However, i felt like the rivet on bracelet is weird. I opt leather on my BB58, I’m still thinking should I just get a leather one so I can get it earlier..

2 months is rather fast, i thought some folks are saying up to 8 months wait list for the GMT
-
Most ADs will have a BB58/GMT in stock. Just depends on whether can convince them to sell. I’m speaking from my own experience of course.
-
I prefer Tudor Black Bay Black
-
Tudor pop up store at Pavilion told me there's a 2 year waiting list for the Tudor GMT, that's too long isn't it?
-
Alright who the lucky person that snatched the S&G chrono in bundstrap from Sincere KLCC ? Congratulations & wear it in good health !
-
anyone know which AD have ready stock for BB58? thanks
-
I have a AD who has GMT leather in stock, anyone who's interested can PM me for contact. Thanks.
-
Looking at getting a BB58. Do you know what's the retail price now for the steel and leather straps? Also what's the discount KL ADs are giving now? Thanks all in advance.
-
I was told by friends in Europe and US that all Tudor models are easily available in store and some ADs are giving classic discounts (5%) without customers even asking for.
Even on Chrono24 you can find the 58 and GMT (158 models at the moment I write this) at MSRP.
So forget about those waiting lists...
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Thanks. Been asking around. No discount for BB 58, GMT and Bronze. The rest have 10% discount. There is a waiting list but chances of getting the watch between 2-4 weeks is high if you pay full price deposit. Find MSRP for Malaysia lower than other countries though.
-
What’s current retail price of the Tudor GMT? There was an increase right?
-
Last checked from Sincere KLCC in November. The price of GMT is roughly RM 156XX, will there be an increase in price any time soon? On a side note, I have a friend who is letting go his GMT, lemme know if anyone is keen.
-
I really like the blue Pelagos or BB GMT, but my skinny wrist forbids. Tried on the BB58 once, actually find it too small to be a diver/tool watch. To me 41mm BB is the best size, if only their lugs are around 48mm length.
-
Initially wanted to get the BB GMT but after much research, decided against. Had been following the prices and it seems like depending who you ask, the price and waiting period differ greatly. But looking at forums and C24, you can easily get one below RM16K immediately. The well documented sticky date issue didn't help Tudor's cause either and may have slightly tarnished their reputation.
-
Share with you, I was asking AD in Garden for BB58. The salesperson told me, if you want it is in the wish list. No even in waiting list. Seriously that is the craziest thing I heard in 2019.
-
Waitlist for GMT is like 20 people per sales person..

Black bay black or the GMT.

Having a similar problem..
Can't decide either a BB Black or BB S&G..
I like the red on the BB Black bezel and the date on BB S&G..
Its gonna b on my wrist most of the time, under sleeves for work and jeans on weekends.
