I picked up this Black Bay (41mm) with the five link bracelet and burgundy bezel last weekend and it's been on my wrist every day since. I went from having very little interest in the Tudor brand to recently really appreciating how they have differentiated themselves from Rolex. I think it's a great value and compliments my other watches nicely.

I loved that I was able to walk in and buy it same day. The T-fit clasp is really smooth too.

Hello all

I am hoping to get some information about this watch. It was gifted to me from my dad - I would love to know a bit more about its history and the physical watch itself.

The serial number is 568XXX and as far as I can tell that means the case at the very least, is from 1966 (as long as the watch is genuine). I am not able to find images from the same year that have similar looking dials/hands, and would also expect more yellowing on the dial itself if it is original.

Is it likely that the dial/hands have been replaced over the years?

The only information I have is that my dad got the watch from a military friend some time in the early 90s, and that it sat virtually unused for about 20 years.

I am not very knowledgeable about watches myself, so any information, or links to information resources would be greatly appreciated!

Field-tested my BB58 in the Alaskan Arctic while doing scientific research.

I’ve been searching for a half link for my Ranger! I can’t seem to find any except from Uncle but they’re not brushed!! Any ideas?

I am new to the watch collecting hobby and after spending a lot of time looking at watches online I have really fallen in love with a lot of the watches the Tudor puts out and I would really like for one of their watches to be my first major watch”major” watch purchase. I have narrowed it down to either a black bay (most likely one of the GMT versions as I like to travel and that seems like a nice functionality to have) or a pelagos however I wanted to be sure I am picking the right one for me before spending that amount of money. One of my main questions is other than the obvious cosmetic and size changes are there any major differences that I should know about between the different black bay lines and what key things should I be on the lookout for when making my first big purchase to avoid any regrets.

I currently have a Hamilton Murph 42mm and the new Spinnaker dolphin project which is a 40mm. The Murph (in my opinion) fits perfectly on my ~7in wrist but the spinnaker feels almost comically small in comparison even though it should be near to the same size based on the specs. Because of this I am concerned that some of the models that only come in 39mm may not be an option for me because of the size or do the watches feel bigger on the wrist than the measurements suggest, all the pictures of them I have seen on here look like they fit very well on most people’s wrists.

I am planning on visiting the Atlanta Tudor boutique to be sure that I like the look and feel of whatever watch I choose prior to purchasing it however I would like to have a game plan and be better informed about my options prior to going. Any insights/advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Tudor Heritage Black Bay (79230N)

Absolutely loving the color and feel of this bad boy. Picture taken on a hike in the Dolomites, timing the hike with the bezel!

Like this a lot more than I was expecting. Love how the dial can look bold but look almost black at different angles.

Was very torn between this and the Omega AT Shades Terracotta and kept flipping between the two regarding what to buy. Very pleased with my choice.

Think I might need another link added back in as looks like there is no more to play with on the microadjust.

I still prefer the bracelet, but this combo slaps!

Debating on a new watch. Have not been able to find the 41 on 5 link to try on. The 58 fit great but not in love with the gilt although did look a lot better in person than I expected. I did try on a 3 link 41 but was not as comfortable (no pic). Definitely prefer the look of the 41 in regards to colors. I have found a 5 link 41 to order. I also looked at the chrono but not really what I’m looking for right now as much as I do love the watch. Anyone have both the 41 and 58 that could offer an opinion on the fit comparing I would appreciate it. Have right around a 7” wrist.

Can anyone point me to the best source for a cloth strap and instructions to install on the watch pictured here. Thank you

Well, I’m about to make my dreams come true
Regarding my grail soon and the price is the same both in Türkiye and Italy. However, if make the purchase in Italy, I’m going to get it tax free though in Türkiye I’d get the piece in installments without interest. What I actually wonder is, does anybody have any experience in regards to boutiques in Italy that might offer some discount when you offer to make the payment in cash ? Target is the 79930 Ranger probably beige on bracelet plus the nato as extra.

For all my Tudor owners and more specifically 1926 owners, when the crow is unscrewed into the neutral, winding position, are you able to “wiggle” or “wobble” the crown back and forth? Not like a lot but enough it’s noticeable? I’m assuming it’s due to the way the case tube/stem assembly is designed for the screw down function to actually work. The reason I ask, my Longines is ROCK solid with no play, but my Seikos do have a minor mount of play. My new Tudor 1926 seems to have the most but I know it’s not apples to apples. I would love to hear from you guys or even see some examples if you’re willing to share. To be clear this is still the best feeling screw down crown on a watch I own and there is no play when the crow is screwed down so I just want to make sure my stem isn’t failing where it connects to the crown.

Tudor daydate 76213

My husband and I were invited to a Tudor event in London a couple of months ago and I loved this watch, but it was only a prototype. I kept asking our AD when they'd get stock and they surprised me on Saturday when we were in collecting my husband's Rolex.

So I bought this BB58 Blue pre owned from a shop.

Watch has been fantastic and used it for over a month now. Was in great condition when I got it.

However noticed the other day that it has several scratches on the sapphire crystal in several different locations (mainly nearly the 10 and 5’o clock areas). The scratches are only really noticeable in indoor lighting and when viewed from certain angles. In outdoor natural settings you can’t see them at all.

I personally can’t remember me hitting the crystal at any time of wearing the watch to remember it causing scratches. I’ve got many other sapphire crystal watches which I’ve worn for years now and are completely scratch free (have tried to view them for scratches once I saw these).

Is there a way to get these scratches out? Most of them seem quite light hairline scratches but they are annoying me now. And do you think it’s worth taking the watch back to where I got it from and ask them? They have a years warranty but not sure how I’d prove it wasn’t caused by me as I didn’t particularly inspect too deeply for scratches on sapphire when I got it. I’ve attached a picture of probably the most prominent scratch. The others are just hairline scratches. I’ve tried scrubbing the crystal with some dish soap and toothbrush but that didn’t make a difference.

Hi all - looking for my first premium piece (not quite luxury budget). Obviously this is a Tudor group but anyone have experience with both brands? Thanks in advance
