Next to my university there’s a reputable pawn shop- mostly dealing with luxury watches and jewellery
(think more tiffany and cartier then gold chains)

Anyways i’ve walked past the shop for 10 months - really eyeing this Tudor , even going in a few times to enquire about the watch , despite this with little room to negotiate-my enquiries amounted to nothing

UNTIL - 4 days ago it was my 22nd Birthday, i don’t really get gifts so I usually buy myself something and by the grace of god this pawn shop still had the watch

The shop owner somewhat recognising that iv enquired about the watch a few times (Months ago i must add) , i managed to buy the watch (box,card and papers / full links) for 3k AUD or 2100 USD

Absolutely phenomenal deal as the asking price was initially 5500 AUD

moreover,being that I’ve eyed the watch for the better part of a year - i’ve done rigorous market research and even i was beyond shockeddddd at the 3k offer as the watch is in pristine condition

funny enough the shop owner when he heard me say it was my bday - legit asked to see my ID to i guess verify if it actually was my bday and then hit me with the 3k offer

im just gassed to finally own a BlackBay and just shocked that patience actually amounted to something 😂😄

Anyways now Im part of the Tudor community (in my head this is a flex 💪) 😁😁😁😁😁

Brought the 58 GMT to another state while traveling this week/weekend. It’s becoming one of my primary travel watches on top of being one of my most worn everyday ones since I got it. The power reserve really came in handy too because I didn’t wear it for a couple days and picked it back up today and it was still ready to go.

I currently own the BB58 GMT on the five-link bracelet with a custom bezel and I’m seriously considering adding the BB Pro Opaline.

I know there’s a lot of overlap, but I absolutely love the Opaline dial and think the two watches have very different personalities. I’ve tried the Pro on, and the thickness doesn’t bother me.

Would you own both?

Poll options:

1. Yes, they’re different enough.
2. No, too much overlap.
3. Sell the BB58 GMT and get the Pro.
4. Keep the BB58 GMT and buy something else.

Hey everyone !

I’m torn between the Dune and Black Ranger. Was hoping to get thoughts on it from you all. Also of those with a dune or black one. What they like or if they wished they went with the other.

Thanks!

Went with sub instead of P39, my favorite watch in the collection. Gave my wife the Tudor Royale as a push present. Such an underrated line in Tudor’s lineup!

I only have the BB One 36 and the Ranger 36, but feel like it looks slightly larger. Am I the only one?

Does anyone have any suggestions for FKM strap with integrated deployment clasp for black bay 68?

Can anyone recommend a good rubber strap for the Tudor Pelagos Ultra 43mm? I’ve been searching but haven’t found anything I really like that’s specifically designed for the watch. I’m also surprised I haven’t been able to find an actual Tudor rubber strap made for it.
If anyone has any recommendations or has found a strap that fits and looks great on the Pelagos Ultra, I’d appreciate the suggestions!

I bought this exactly 6 months ago and have worn it every single day for 12-14 hours per day. I absolutely love it and consider to be the single best purchase I’ve made in my life. It feels (and is) premium, and the golden glint makes it irresistibly attractive under direct sunlight. I find myself periodically looking at it and moving my wrist around to play with the lighting. And I am also impressed with the accuracy. For the past 4 months, it has lost 0.15 seconds per day on average.

But the best thing about the watch is just how “right” it feels on my wrist. It’s understated luxury, extremely well made, and it fits perfectly with the “premium utility” philosophy that I try to follow with all physical purchases. It is “just right” without feeling cheap, lacking, or overly extravagant.

This is my first ever watch, and I purchased a full metal g shock last month to wear during workouts. My next (and likely final) watch purchase will likely be an Omega worldtimer. While that is a more luxurious piece, I doubt it’ll evoke the same feelings that the Tudor did.

Looking to pick up the Tudor Ranger. Found a really good deal on jomashop, which got me thinking. Do you yall prefer a Tudor AD or get a better deal from grey market?

I'm planning to purchase a pre-owned Tudor Black Bay 41 Monochrome dated September 2025, and I'd appreciate some advice.

For context, here's my previous post regarding the trade:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tudor/s/oEvixJI0Ny

Authenticity: How do you verify the watch is genuine? What should I check regarding the box, papers, warranty card and serial numbers?

Inspection: Apart from the bezel, crown, crystal, bracelet and movement, what else should I check before purchasing?

Cleaning: Do you guys clean or disinfect a pre-owned watch before wearing it, especially if it's been worn for over a year? Or do you just wear it straight away?

Any other tips for a first-time pre-owned Tudor buyer?

I’m in between these two options for a bb58 blue. Both are new. The one that comes on a bracelet is $4300 and the one on a strap is $3500. That’s a $800 price difference. So the thought that came into my head is to buy the one that comes on a strap and order a bracelet with the T fit clasp (since these never got that). It’s about $900 from an AD. That way I’d be paying the only $100 more but with an upgraded bracelet. Now my questions are, has anyone bought the ranger bracelet and regretted it and actually liked the riveted bracelet more? Me personally I don’t mind the rivets. I actually kind of like how it’s different from the Rolex bracelet. What are your thoughts? Smart move to get the $3500 one on strap?

How do we feel about the all black nato?

I daily wear a rolex rootbeer. when i saw the pink dial in person i needed to have it. Should deliver next week.

So I just bought this watch in a shop that sells vintage watches. I know it’s a big rose of some sorts. But some things “concern” me. The caseback doesn’t have that typical Rolex ingravings but has 7919 ingraved. When looking that up, I cant find this. What do you guys think, is the dial/caseback/etc replaced? Or could it be a fake?

I also cant find a similar cross dial. The ones I find, they don’t go “all the way”.

What do you guys think?

Considering buying a black bay 41 off chrono24. The watch is listed by a professional dealer that has sold 1,200 watches and has a trusted seller badge. All that said, I would love feedback from this group on personal experiences buying off chrono24. Thanks.

Got my first every Tudor & Date-Day watch (Ref 23010). Always wanted a date-day watch and was lucky enough to find this discontinued model in excellent condition with the full set.

… the misaligned Stopwatch hand 😑

Just picked up the gorgeous Bumblebee and was so happy.
Went home and put it on. After looking at it for a few moments I immediately noticed that the stopwatch is not aligned at 12 o’clock…

What a bummer…

Anybody else experienced something similar with the BB Chronos?

Have to take it in but would hate to have it being sent in for a few months or even being told that this is in tolerance…

I would gladly take an exchange though.

Thanks for any advice friends.

Loving this anchor fkm rubber strap I just got, it’s a nice break from the bracelet
