occb2 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have to post something on this watch. I think its is the best upgrade that Tudor could have made. That and the Dark. I saw it next door on RWI when Jason put it on what he was wearing for the day. I jumped thinking it was a personally made watch to find out that they are made now by some rep companies. Then I was informed that there was one for sale in the sale section. I jumped over there and brought it. Got it two days ago and its been on my wrist. It is just a beautiful watch. Reminds me a little of the GMT Root beer with a sub kick. They did a good job jumping up the normally 40 MM of the Black bays to 43 MM. I would guess it would have to do with the fact that starting this year Tudor will no longer be using ETA. Let me just post some pics here.

Propofol Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 What movement will they use then ? Manufacture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occb2 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 In the tudor they went with an in house movement. They are owned by Rolex so Im sure it will be a great movement. As far as the one I have I have to open it nit I would say aa 2824 or a 2836. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBOGH Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Tudor does a good job. The size of their bronze model is the same as the SS model of Black Bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, or actually close. 2mm difference. Heritage BB is 41mm, new bronze BB is 43mm. The Heritage BB wears much bigger than 41mm due to the case shape IMO. https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/heritage-black-bay/m79230r-0001 https://www.tudorwatch.com/magazine/article/baselworld-2016-black-bay-bronze And the gen Bronze BB is a new proprietary aluminum allow bronze that Tudor/Rolex developed that is supposed to patina much, much slower and even than other common bronze allows like CuSn8 found in other bronze models. The rep won't have this characteristic as I'm sure the allow used is whatever the cheapest one they factory could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
