Great Video- This watch is one of the most beautiful of all watches (in my opinion). The contrast; the black movement/Jewels. I'm about Dials/Hands/Movements/Case Material. This ticks all my boxes!! The finishing on the case (Polished Edge and the Brushed Bezel is fantastic!)

Thanks for your comment. I'm a big fan of the BB Ceramic! I'd love it if they did a 39mm version and improved the straps, that would make it god tier!

I have this watch in my collection and love it. As I build out my collection, figured one Tudor was required. As many stated, the straps simply do not work. I need to find a better option. Thank you for the review.

Yep! Sure, in the video it's a strap from "Tuns Leather" you'll find them on Etsy but cheaper from their website directly. Check the reviews on Etsy though, super quality for a custom leather strap made to your specifications. I had about 10 straps from them, all excellent.

Great review thanks. Interesting that the ceramic is slightly thinner than the steel, as that is my one dislike about the Tudors. I am considering two extremes at the moment, either this ceramic or the Silver 925 Trouble is they both look fantastic!
@markotoole7937 Жыл бұрын
No problem. I lean towards smaller watches, 39-40mm is ideal for me, however the BB Ceramic is still a really nice wearing experience. I think Tudor have thinned down their newer Black Bay's so the ceramic isn't alone now. I actually had a BB58 Bronze arrive today, have you considered that if you're looking at those two?

congratulations for the video. I have it too and I love it, but I ended up on this video looking online for other options for the strap, like you said is not comfortable. I'm thinking of getting the rubber b swimskin alligator which would make it even more similar to the 2019 black bay one
@markotoole793711 ай бұрын
Nice, it's a favourite of mine and gets worn lots. The Rubber B gets a lot of praise and it looks great on alligator. I switch mine between three straps now, a leather with the original clasp, a black Milanese and a velcro strap for watch gecko, all are much better than the originals.

Hi Martin, glad you liked it. The strap is made by someone called "Tuns Leather" I also have a waxy green strap from him I use on this watch. If you search on Etsy he'll come up, very reasonable pricing and quality is excellent.

How realistically durable is it for a daily watch? Could you wear it gardening without getting scratches and dings?
@markotoole79378 ай бұрын
Hi Chris, it's durable in the sense that after all this time, it still has no scratches whatsoever. I've knocked it on a desk, in the car etc. but never really hard. If it was steel, it'd have some serious scratches now. The drawback with ceramic is it can dent or shatter, so heavy duty tasks like gardening where it might take substantial knocks might not be a good idea.

@markotoole7937 Жыл бұрын
Well it's not just a colour when compared to the original, it's a completely different case material, thinner, has more curvature, a different METAS movement, and open cashback. I'd say that makes it pretty different, but of course, it's still a BlackBay.
