Should receive mine on the 5 link bracelet next week.
Looking forward to it a lot.

It is how thin the bezel is compared to sub that helps it stand alone as a smooth package. Look forward to the next evolution.

Speaking of gilt vs. no gilt. More than 10 years ago I popped into a European AD to see what they had. I chatted with the Rolex manager who had been in his position for many years. I saw a watch poking out from under his suit coat and asked him what it was. He showed me a beautiful black dial 58, but something didn't look right. IT HAD NO GILT. I asked him about it and he told me that Rolex had been playing around with what to make and they had made this watch. (I didn't ask if it they made one or a dozen.) And Rolex gifted the watch to him based on whatever relationships he had.

I love it personally. I believe Tudor belongs in everyone's collection. I have never been a fan of gilt so I went with the BB41 (non-diver). If I was in the market for another Tudor I would go with this on the five link.

I think this is going to be a classic.

I really, really like the new monochrome BB.
The case architecture of the latest iteration corrected what I found to be shortcomings with the 79220r, 79220n, and BB GMT models I owned but parted with. It’s ~13.5 thick, but the caseback protrudes a little bit. For whatever reason, that works for me - probably the same reason I like my SD 16600 and BB Pro. They all sit comfortably on my wrist. Add the incredibly comfortable 5-link bracelet that tapers to 16mm at the T-fit clasp, updates to bezel, metas cert, etc, and I think it’s a super choice. If I happened to be looking for a new diver, the monochrome one would be my choice. |

Are you sure you didn't see the no-gilt Black Bay that came out in 2014, perhaps a bit before it came out publicly? That would have looked different from the gilt Black Bay that was already out at the time. |

I like it, particularly on that bracelet, and if I didn´t already have an old 14060 Submariner I´d definitely be interested in buying it.

I can’t wait to get my hands on it! Love the jubilee and changes to the crown.
