Rumour said announcement on 30 June (tomorrow), let's wait and see.
Personally I would pick the original BB58 over the blue bezel/dial, I like the vintage vibe on the original.

Not sure how accurate it is but there is a photo of a mock-up going on instagram. No gilt dial. no red triangle. Handset color similar to the Black Bay 41.

Some people already get it, to my surprised most of the boutique/retailer are actually getting their stocks prior to the official announcement. Tudor might be postponed this release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

is just another waitlist bullshit, basically giving out to the regular customer first again and only entertain the walk ins..

they probably already got it in their latest shipment, and waiting tudor official announcement at 1pm to release it for sale..

Having owned the the first iteration of BB58 with gilt dial, somehow I am not so excited about this blue one. I have too many other Blue dialed  watches to steer me away from this one.

There will be no waiting list anymore if Tudor release more and more variants / color scheme of BB58, let say you can easily buy the previous color if all people are going to the blue one and vise versa.

Looks like the 58 may end up like the Black Bay 41 after a while. Best to just wait. Everyone is a flipper these days.

Same scenario with the original BB58. Everyone aiming to flip for the premium. Best to just wait. What people dont realise is that paying that premium may just mean that you pay approximately 5 years worth of annual price increments at least. For those that want to afford it, good for you. For those on the fence, this is food for thought. You can see that the 58 has seen some price adjustment two years on.  Known some who paid RM16500 for the BB58. I guess even two years on, retail is wayyyyyyy lower than that and you hear more and more people getting the call from their AD. Unless the enjoyment is worth that money, i would advise to just wait. My 2 cents.

My 2 cents.

The BB58 black was not that hot when it first release, i guess is pretty easy to get one from the AD, same goes to the Tudor GMT, but after a couple of months the hype started to kicked in when reviewers and the watch community starting to pay attention to it, it became desirable and as far as i remember the tudor GMT is the one having the very long wait list compare to bb58, but beginning of this year the Tudor GMT wait list is dwindling down and the BB58 is the one being more and more in demand. In fact , i think the Tudor GMT has now become very easy to get, already have seen people selling their pre-own GMTs at below retail price they bought 1-2 years back.

Just curious on the WIS state of mind.
How is it such a big hooha when a brand comes out with basically a watch that is 100% identical to a current model with the only difference being the color.
I think the brands (I'm definitely talking about Rolex and Tudor) have gotten a lot of people brainwashed into thinking that it is a huge deal (all pure marketing and yes they have succeeded).
Just my 2 cents that I think hype behind colors is a little silly...

Marketing aside, i personally think is the rolex spillover effect and plus the bb58 is a watch done right for many

if a rolex sub fits well i bet the bb58 shouldn't be too small as you put, is only 1mm difference

Post by: ethan89 on July 18, 2020, 10:08:08 AM
BB58 actually wear bigger than its actually suggested, simply due to its bezel is narrower than rolex submariner so the dial look bigger or same size with sub.

It's not the size in mm, sometimes it's the way the bezel slope away that makes it look smaller.

Or the missing crown....

I agree with your points, is just that i have both watches and it surprises me that he give the impression that the BB58 is very much smaller than the sub which it isn't honestly..

All local ADs having stock right now, but not for sale while others country you can buy one right away at 1st July. 

So Tudor followed its big brother playing those “for display only” or “not for sale” game eh.

This is pure silly imo.

I walked into an AD shop and look around . Out of all brands like corum, longines, GS there, I only headed straight to Tudor section to look for left hand drive BB58. As usual, the salesman said no stock and needed to be on waiting list. I dropped him my business card and demanded him to call me and left. I will not bother to give that salesman a call. If he needs my business , well, he must call me then. :Dancing_banana:

As far as I concerned Watatime was doing this for years and now THG also accepted full payment.
ADs are all playing safe. On flip side, the stocks flow is pretty much under control, else they won't accept prepay.

If only you know how snobbish and cocky some salesperson are to potential customers... part of the reason I never bought anything from AD around KL other than that one instance at a Watatime outlet and the Manager himself was doing the sale.

Long waiting list. Some ADs demand full payment. One AD showed me 23 buyers in his phone, all fully paid up. There’s one on Mudah, asking 20.5k. Retail is 14.15k.

Experimenting with straps. The bracelet’s amazing, but I prefer brown leather straps.
A word of advice: unless you ”kan cheong” can’t wait lol, don't settle for the Nato or blue leather strap BB58 Blue from your AD cos you’ll want to buy the bracelet next to make the watch complete. That costs over 3k and (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200806/d5ee34c81a7bee4cb1cd1cd4d9b7f428.jpg)
adds to your purchase price.

Never owned a Tudor; so didn't buy ”blind.” Wasn't impressed at first sight, but with the wrappers off.....(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200806/4b3271531555bcc9bb66e2069737da7d.jpg)

Congratulations on your new Tudor BB58 Blue. The AD sold my allocation due to a mix-up among their sales personnel and i was thoroughly pissed off as I flew in to pick up the piece having paid in full. Manager compensated by offering me a 114060 instead.

So did you pick up the 114060 instead? what is the retail?
But this BB58 Blue is building up in me. Congratulations on the new pickup

Don't think your order was ”misallocated.”
It’s more likely someone else was more important to the store than you. That’s why one shouldn't make full payment and queue on a ”first come first serve” basis. That’s utter crap because the store will still prioritize their regular clients, even if last in the queue, or haven't made any deposit payment. Can't blame the store as business now is so bad.
So to queue with full payment means one is locked into a long, uncertain wait with worldwide demand for the watch so strong.
Additionally, can the store where full payment was made survive the Covid-19 crisis hitting all businesses? Think of one particular airline in trouble which can't or delays in refunding canceled or prepaid flights.

Yes I bought it. I topped up and paid RM28900 for the 114060. May sit out on the pursuit for the BB58 after this.

I was told the blue BB58 will have more stocks coming so most AD accept prepayment, unlike the black one, it is still on waiting list, you cannot full payment and wait for the black one at least at THG, WT you can but the stock is extremely limited.

They informed you your piece arrived but can't find it in their safe when you're in the store?
A blessing in disguise for the 114060, enjoy it, you're not gonna miss the BB58, a friend of mine sold his BB58 and bought a 114060 instead, no regret.

I think you got a better deal instead. Can't imagine choosing the BB58 blue over a 114060.

I seen one last Saturday when I done my shopping at Lot 10. Maybe you all can shop there.

Pretty sure is for display only and not for sale..

And I thought they were only doing this with ROLEX sports models...   :Scolding:

Post by: 2ndOpinion on August 06, 2020, 08:47:15 PM

Not all ADs collect full payment. But whether you leave only your contact details or made full payment, your allocation priority depends on your buying history with the AD: is anyone surprised?
If you’re a walk-in stranger, you can be sure of a long wait: 6 to 12 months, or more for the bracelet, if you read posts in international forums like Watchuseek.
Additionally, Covid-19 is slowing down production and worldwide shipping, which is why prices have gone crazy, actively selling well over RM20k, BNIB or LNIB, in reputable sites (forget Chrono24) like rolexforums.com
Sorry, just voicing the reality for anyone in the porn blue BB58 queue. I stand corrected.

Sound too good to be true, it is just a Tudor and SA decided to used Rolex as compensation albeit it is double the price.

If I'm the SA I'll be like: Sorry x100 times, please accept my sincere apology and next shipment is not far away. And yeah, don't forget your mineral water bottle, it is free yo.  :D

Well, I have been buying from said AD for about 15 years so i will not say that this is open to all. Plus I am from out of town. I guess the manager did not want to sour relations. After all they did make me fly in and with all the SOPs in place due to the current pandemic, it is truly a hassle. I am not going to complain given the current situation. I have a no-date diver back in the collection and I am a happy camper.

Whoa. In the Msian context, the BB58 has appreciated by 34.3% to RM19k from the AD retail price of RM14k, according to Chrono24 sales data. Better than playing the KLSE. Lol.

Will till the next BB58 series appear as the GMT and the green ”hulk.” The prices will skyrocket like the glove counters. Lol(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200808/2b073f7b06bf6403a654a731b18eca47.jpg)

it is generally believed Chrono24 prices are generally 20% above real market prices so ....

And asking prices and actual selling prices can vary. Of course you get the occasional spender who doesn't look at the amount when spending.

Look at the WTS section and you see many "hot" watches at prices below Chrono24 but it's still waiting for a buyer ...

Agree with you bro. As a golden rule, i tend to look at the lowest price for a particular piece to gauge prices as opposed to the highest or even the mid-point. I feel that Chrono24 prices are based off the USD and that certain watches at those prices may sell overseas but not locally.
Title: Re: New Tudor BB58 release
Post by: 2ndOpinion on August 08, 2020, 03:09:21 PM

Prices of anything hinge on supply and demand. In the context of the BB58, and particularly the Blue model, demand is running far ahead of supply. So as much as I won't bet my life on Chrono24 prices, as posted earlier, the price appreciation cited by WatchPro can't be inflated. Reputable sites like rolexforums.com transact the Blue at a similar price point.
Again, above assertion only applies to the BB58, particularly the Blue. Cheers.

OK.. getting a bit off topic but ...

There was an article about how some sellers are grouped on Chrono24 to push up prices of certain models. They do not physically have the watch but will source it off each other when someone buys. This is easy to accomplish since you don't need to post the actual serial number of the watch you are selling.

Coupled of course with the fact that most EU countries have roughly 20% VAT on top of the actual price so ...

I walked into an AD to and put my name on the waiting list for the BB58 (either blue or black). Did not pay any deposits and I don't have any purchase history with the AD, so I dont expect any calls.

One week later, they called and offered me the black BB58. I guess stocks are more stable these days?

All the talk about it being the "best size" and "most proportionate" certainly interest me but I would like to try one off first to see if it fits me as my wrist is boxy. The Royal Oak and Deepsea does not fit my wrist well at all.

A lot of ADs has display units for tudor/rolex. You can simply walk in and try them on. Those units are not for sale though. I think they are sent to ADs without box and paper to prevent ADs from selling them

Looks like the AD near my place has no display units for the BB58. I tried on the Pelagos, Black Bay Steel and it wears a bit big. Didnt have the chance to try on the Rolex GMT Pepsi as there was a line to try it. Plenty of Datejust though.

Why would ROLEX do such a thing? They're not for sale because the ADs won't sell them to you. One AD blatantly told me to buy it "outside" and when I said the price was more than double, he looked at me with a smirk and said "everyone else pays that price" !!!

Just got my BB58 last week....I must say it feels like the old sub no date 14060. Very nice slim profile, good quality built. Love the colour too. Wears slightly smaller than the sub 114060 (some pics for comparison).

In the end the Mrs decided to have it lol (Not bad for ladies too)...tho haven’t had the chance to wear it out yet!
 My take : good value for money with the in-house 70 H power reserve movement, and nice brushed case and bracelet. Only set back to me is that they should have tapered the edges of the bracelet links similar to Rolex oyster bracelets. Otherwise, perfect!

Just got my BB58 last week....I must say it feels like the old sub no date 14060. Very nice slim profile, good quality built. Love the colour too. Wears slightly smaller than the sub 114060 (some pics for comparison).

In the end the Mrs decided to have it lol (Not bad for ladies too)...tho haven’t had the chance to wear it out yet!
 My take : good value for money with the in-house 70 H power reserve movement, and nice brushed case and bracelet. Only set back to me is that they should have tapered the edges of the bracelet links similar to Rolex oyster bracelets. Otherwise, perfect!

I do like the watch overall but cannot accept that "square" at the hour and seconds hand and the "studs" at the sides of the bracelet links even if they are TUDOR trademarks

At first i thought BB58 is 58mm, how foolish i am.
But i like the design so much, not because of homage watch to R_LEX. But the design are so unique, the snowflake hand are so appealing. Only complaint about it, the big crown.
Title: Re: New Tudor BB58 release
Post by: pleasuresaurus on January 07, 2021, 08:37:35 AM
I reckon the crown size is part of the design la perhaps. Its a screw down crown for water resistance, but its also lacking crown guards. It is a means of improving the integrity of the crown structure.

As mentioned in the separate thread though, I’m now eyeing the Strapcode bracelet that Pleasuresaurus mentioned...looks cool...to be honest I have not even worned my bb58 outside my house yet lol. Sized it for my wife and she hasnt worn it yet - still seems a lil big...lol. So maybe I’ll get that aftermarket bracelet with more micro adjustments

I walked into an AD to and put my name on the waiting list for the BB58 (either blue or black). Did not pay any deposits and I don't have any purchase history with the AD, so I dont expect any calls.

One week later, they called and offered me the black BB58. I guess stocks are more stable these days?

I've had a similar experience with an AD as well.. picked up a black BB58 last year,  after waiting about 1 month. Without prior purchase history with the AD. Although the AD has now become an acquaintance

Post by: pleasuresaurus on January 28, 2021, 10:40:21 AM
I wonder why though. Reckon it probably has something to do with the target demographic the product is aimed at. People who can afford a USD 3-4k watch are still very much susceptible to the vagaries of global economic downturns and the ongoing pandemic. Hence the drop in demand? Or am I missing something and there's another hype watch that's come along?
Title: Re: New Tudor BB58 release
Post by: bulletnos on January 28, 2021, 01:49:12 PM
I think because supply is not as limited as Rolex, and I think the market has caught on to that. And at that price range, there are quite a few mainstream alternatives out there - can even get a basic PAM, IWC, etc - so maybe more options. Or some just save up for the older brother- Rolex - though that wan is another story altogether in terms of supply...

Maybe because Tudor can be had for a reasonable discount but the grey market will always try to hype the price. Once the fire doesn't burn on, the price drops and people who bought thinking they could make a few bucks quickly try to offload the piece which flood the market even more and drive prices down further.

I agree with you there. However if this goes on often, sooner or later there will not be a hype train surrounding the brand in general. It will truly be good news for true lovers of the watch.

Came across on a Tudor group, UK user said there's a site offering ready stock BB58 with free watch winder. Dude got it and sold off the winder for an additional discount :Laughing_on_floor: reckon market demand has cooled enough for retail offers to start improving.

Post by: bulletnos on February 04, 2021, 03:12:53 PM
Yea, supply is available so prices may not inflate like Rolex..I heard from other 3rd party sites too that since the in-house movement in the BB58 is solely used for BB58 at this point, Tudor may most likely produce more variants of the BB58 ...maybe in different colour too...speculation je la...but let's see come Apr/May period...

And I just ordered my strapcode bracelet. Can't wait to get it and finally wear the watch!

Nice bro! Looking forward to seeing it set up on the watch. Might take a while though, logistics services now all slow down because of covid.

The movement angle is a rather interesting subject. The MT5402 is built for Tudor by its subsidiary Kenissi, and they really know what they're about seeing how their efforts have won them what, 5 GPHG awards already? Having said that, Kenissi also makes cals. for Norqain, Breitling and Chanel. Here's an A:B of the Norqain NN20/1 and the Tudor MT5402. Very similar in general appearance, same power reserve, same no. of jewels. Reckon the only difference is rotor and finishing.

(https://i.ibb.co/tqhnGCY/norqain-nn20-tudor-mt5402-manufacture-calibers-1229x733.jpg) (https://ibb.co/y6RK9sg)

I reckon the base model of both movements are the same, just finished to different end requirements by the client. And I also recommend checking out the Chanel J12 also, which runs a cal.12.1 also by Kenissi. Elegant rotor and finished more nicely, likely because its on a clear case back. Similar looks, differing only in the number of jewels and date function. I reckon Tudor is definitely gonna be putting out more BB58 or similar sized time pieces, probably some in interesting and attractive color combinations. New watches means new hype, might mean better resale value too perhaps?

Yea, Chanel owns 20% of Kenissi as well, and their movement is certain more "stylo" in terms of finishing..

And you're right, it seems the one used in the J12 (&Norqain) have variations that is based on both the MT54-series (BB58), as well as the MT56XX-series movement - which is larger and has more variations like the MT5612 which sits in the Pelagos, and the MT5652 that runs the Tudor GMT...but they all look so similar.

I curi info from here:

Would u just look at that winding rotor la, srs stylo. And it plays so well with the overall curves of the movement, the bridge etc. I'm not too keen on the J12 as a whole, but that movement n the rotor especially is just elegant.

Part of the fun in the hobby la kan, geeking and digging up info on the details  ;D

It sits bigger than the original strap...but fitting is good. But can’t use the original spring bar tho...but it’s ok.

What do u guys think? Yay or Nay

Looking sharp mate! And fairly quick delivery also la all thing considered. How do u find it so far, comfy and sits well? Is the color tone of the bracelet steel any different from that of the watch case ka? I believe fhis bracelet uses 2.2mm thickness spring bars or something of the sort right, was it provided or u had to source out urself?

Loving it mate! They do provide the spring bars, fairly ok quality, better than average, but of cos, inferior to Tudor. I am amazed by the colour of the steel...matches so well with the watch! Even the brushing is good. They got it right. Only cons i feel, is the movement of the bracelet, feels just slightly rough compared to the original, but it is no biggie. Very comfortable and feels natural. In fact, this bracelet fits better on smaller wrists compared to the original - due to the clasp. Tho visually it looks bigger than the original, it fits more snug compared to the original. But worth it. And they use Fedex International Priority - super fast! Total I paid was USD 125 incl Taxes and Shipping

Valid concern, but I guess have to rely on reviews to see if they last. Also, when installing I pay extra caution to ensure the spring bar tips are secured.

The endlinks look nice and crisp, good stuff. Ok la like that means it looks like more wrist time for the BB58  from now on la then eh? Really tho, if its got the missus interested in wearing the watch, I reckon the bracelet is the real deal la. And for that kind money n speedy delivery, damn puas hati la  :thumbsup:

That spring bar is an interesting issue la, I've been wondering about it. I 've observed that same spring bar used in Tudor, Rolex and Breitling. But for the life of me I don't have a clear indication who makes it. My initial thought was Flume, but I dont think that's the right manufacturer. For the Miltat I think they use a Seiko fat boy spec, which does seem sturdy enough.

I suppose getting used to 3rd party straps n bracelets takes some...getting used to (for lack of better word haha). It never occured to me before I started playing around with straps and had then just stayed with stock. It dawned on me that I didn't really mind using china-made 1.5mm spring bars for a 4 figure watch, which I would use without batting an eyelid. And it worked well enough too with no failure so far. But then I get all kan cheong when instead its a 5 figure watch that's involved.

One of the things I consciously do is test out the new gear with the relatively cheaper watch to see how it holds up. It helps that I have watches that share same  lug width dimensions. In the case of straps it would invariably work without fail - I use quick release spring bars almost exclusively for all my leather and silicone straps, mainly for convenience. In the case of nato and MN straps, I've settled now with using a minimum of 2.0mm thick fat boy style bars. They're very sturdy and sit firmly in the lug hole, with practically no give at all compared to 1.5mm ones - not even from flexion. I'm especially confident with nato, as the way the strap is fitted, even if in the unlikely event that one spring bar fails, the other will still hold fast and the watch would still remain attached to my wrist (albeit dangling lopsidedly).

All in all I think it takes some time, patience and deliberate experimentation to build up a sense of confidence in the reliability of 3rd party gear. It is a valid concern, but is well worth investigating. The simple act of saddling new straps literally breathes new life into a familiar (and mayhaps boring) timepiece, making it exciting all over again.

Ya bro, mmg puas! Happy Wife, Happy Life too...poison her more to like watches...haha

And good to know that they are most likely using the Seiko fatboy spec, gives more reassurance. But it does feel sturdy, no loose feeling even when wiggling the bracelet. Thanks for the recommendation @ Strapcode - now can use the bracelet without worrying too much.

LostInReality - you can checkout Strapcode.com. They have a few types - just need to find the right model/size - as the endlinks are sized differently too.

But for the life of me I don't have a clear indication who makes it. My initial thought was Flume, but I dont think that's the right manufacturer. For the Miltat I think they use a Seiko fat boy spec, which does seem sturdy enough.

Ya bro, mmg puas! Happy Wife, Happy Life too...poison her more to like watches...haha

And good to know that they are most likely using the Seiko fatboy spec, gives more reassurance. But it does feel sturdy, no loose feeling even when wiggling the bracelet. Thanks for the recommendation @ Strapcode - now can use the bracelet without worrying too much.

LostInReality - you can checkout Strapcode.com. They have a few types - just need to find the right model/size - as the endlinks are sized differently too.

Cheers

Any brands recommendation for stainless steel rolex strap?

Try look in Strapcode and search for the RX 1680 sub bracelets.

Caveat: Now I have to preface that I don't know which rolex model u are interested in, and  neither am I 100% sure that the dimensions would work. But considering that Rolex bracelets have a high degree of interchangeability, if you're looking for a 20mm lug width replacement, this might be worth trying out.

The endlinks look nice and crisp, good stuff. Ok la like that means it looks like more wrist time for the BB58  from now on la then eh?

This stuff is available at a few other sites though, can sift around for a good deal. Having said that la, I feel like rubber nato is an acquired taste la, its feel is different from fabric nato. Its thin, but has a rigidity to it, kinda like a thin seatbelt. Pliant and supple, but takes a bit of getting used to. Its wasn't a "pakai pakai terus jatuh cinta" kinda experience for me.
Title: Re: New Tudor BB58 release
Post by: bulletnos on February 19, 2021, 06:45:52 PM
Thanks for sharing...No wonder I thought it looked like rubber, but then just assumed it was fabric Nato...

But I actually like the silicon straps that I use with my PAM...those from Nomad...soft on the skin, but doesnt sag on the wrist, if you know what I mean...

I like the colour combination on yours though...
Title: Re: New Tudor BB58 release
Post by: pleasuresaurus on February 19, 2021, 07:40:22 PM
The v3 Silicones yes? Ok la should be somewhat similar in feel, only difference is 2 piece vs single piece. Just so u have an idea what to expect.

Bonetto cinturini actually has quite a number of different camo patterns now which weren't actually available when I ordered. There's a bluish toned one that would really jive with ur blue bay 58 I reckon. The only problem is hunting down a site that actually has it in stock.

looks nice...yea I got the blue camo on my PAM too, but of a darker combination...

Do share some shots of how it sits on your wrist...as I honestly dont really like the feel of NATO as the watch head tends to drop from the center (perhaps due to the fabric/canvas vs rubber)..

Thanks bro...for more poison...haha

Post by: pleasuresaurus on February 20, 2021, 07:13:13 PM
I just swapped it out for the leather strap actually, so here's a shot from yesterday. It sits ok, doesn't move much unless I adjust it deliberately - the rubber material is quite clingy.

Post by: bulletnos on March 03, 2021, 05:45:57 AM
Wearing my BB58 more and loving it...what I realize is that the lume is white by default, and in a slightly shaded area outdoors - it has a bit of a purple-ish blue hue to it...but in dark surroundings indoors, it is clearly greenish in colour.

Here’s a photo comparison - unedited / unfiltered, taken from an old iphone 7:

You will notice it is more white on the left where there is more sunlight, and purpleish on the right where there is a little shadow...

Hmm probably a function of the lume formulation perhaps? But its an interesting observation, and if it was deliberate, that's a lot of attention to detail on part of Tudor, which is cool.

Hmmm Integrated bracelet replacement is a tough one la, I did look around online for a bit but nothing came up.

Love the new BB58 in 18k Gold! But I heard from the dealer that the RSP is RM64k!!! That’s insane ! :o

The Silver one is RM16k+...not bad

Here’s the link to Tudors launches at the Watches and Wonders 2021:

At CHF16,000 that sounds about right,which is a massive leap for Tudor price! But fair enough la I suppose, the whole watch is solid gold. Case, crown, bezel....And I think the best part is the clear case back! Which I think is a first for Tudor, or the Rolex group in general.

On the more affordable range, there's also the BB58 in 925 Sterling silver, also with clear case back.

it seems the 925 silver from the Rolex foundry is more robust and less susceptible to staining/tarnishing...but I guess only time will tell

I guess those that are within 10km from your place can kot...maybe you have to check with the SA.  :Praying:
Finally, I got my TUDOR BB CERAMIC ! It look much much much better in person.

haha wanna take a pic while the stickers are still attached.
25/may open for booking, 26/may i go make a booking. by june, the watch already sampai, but due to MCO, august baru can collect. still pretty quick i would say. according to my AD, MSIA not bringing anymore bb ceramic in this year, they have limited quantity for Malaysia this year, because ceramic is a material that very hard to work with, so one year production abit less.

I'm glad i made the booking, i am not a tudor fan, when they baru released this bb ceramic, from pic itself, it look soso to me.
the only thing triggered me to make a booking is the new METAS certified movement. The BB ceramic really does look good with the NATO strap in real person.

Looks totally badass, n with a great engine to boot. That is rather quick, like less than a month for it to arrive I reckon. Terbaek lah, at least something to look forward to during these troubled times :Cheers:

I love it! That "Master Chronometer" status on the face ganas wei...

But I like that the markers are not like black on black - otherwise not legible. This looks really good. +less worries on corrosion/tarnish/scratches. Just becareful about knocks tho...

Enjoy your new toy!

Congratulations on a great pickup. The watch has a stealthy look to it which makes it look like something military. However, I doubt this batch will be the "last" for this year. I have heard this sales pitch from many ADs many times before.
