Such a great watch. Has this one been polished? Curious because I have the same watch (since 2002!) and mine looks rounded on the case sides like yours. I wonder if that was ever a sharp transition? From the top of the case to the sides.. I've had mine for so long I can't remember.

Actually mine is the WK1112 with the arabic numerals and coloured bezel. But basically the same
@MountainStandardTime2 күн бұрын
No. I don't believe it's been polished. It has more of a sandblasted finishing that came OEM

Thats my exact model! The wk 1110! My lume is still super white! I still have the pip and the bezel black numbers r still in tact! It was my first watch! Its so cool to see someone else make a recent video loving this watch so much!

Just rebought my 2 tone gold version of this watch. Like you, it was my first "luxury watch". Wore it for years until the gold plating started to wear off. Gifted to my father in law, who passed it on to my brother in law. 🙄New one isn't tarnished however. ☺️

May I ask what a fair price range is for this model. Mine is identical in like condition, I have a hard time funding comparables, mine is also is on bracelet. Glad to hear it’s more unique in this configuration. I love the fact it’s so versatile it can truly be a one and done watch. I’ve never seen another one in the wild.

Noobs hating on it saying it’s a “copy” lol Tudor did have a submariner. Rolex is now positioning Tudor to base its design on past Rolex/tudors. Dome crystals/ no crown guards/ aluminum bezels! There is a huge following asking for retro design with modern specs. Rolex is attacking the industry at all angles. If u think this is “copying” then every watch brand is doing the same. If any brand has the right to make a sub look a like. It is Tudor

I read that a quartz watch is only possible to last up to 20 years because the electrical contacts in the quartz movement will erode over time so how is yours still functioning over 20 years

My guess is these TAG quartz movements were made a bit better than the standard cheap quartz movements your article was mentioning

@@MountainStandardTime yes Swiss made will definitely be higher quality but the electrical contacts could still erode over 20 years I dunno? I seen a professional 2000 tag for £200 in a pawn shop was considering it but it being over 20 years old puts me off.

All Tudor would have to do would be to add crown guards and go full snowflake on the dial and sweep hand with square indice. Good looking sport watch though.

I'd agree with that! If you want a Rolex Submariner, then you'll only be happy with a Rolex Submariner. But! Consider this BB if you don't want the Rolex stigma, or you don't want to play the Rolex wait games. Heck! I'd even consider this a good "low-target" vacation watch if you do have a Rolex Submariner. I take my blue Pelagos on vacations and leave my expensive watches home in the deposit box.

I really like the bracelet options on the Black Bays. But I just noticed that the Jubilee-style bracelet isn't offered on the blue bezel version. I wonder what's up with that? Edit: Ah, the blue version still has the older movement and thicker case - that explains it!
