  • I'm probably way off the mark but what about a 36mm Smiths Everest from timefactors?

    And here is the 34mm Tudor I wear daily, purchased for well under a grand, a full service is about £200 - so far so good

  • seen that before on here - it's gorgeous. you've had it a good few years now I think? Where did you buy it?
    Smiths everest don't think so

  • Yeah I bought it about 5 years ago, just before the birth of my first child - I’d had the idea I wanted a proper watch and knew my dad had his 36mm DJ that he wasn’t a fan of because it wasn’t particularly legible (ghost dial) - I wanted to get a smaller ‘poor man’s’ version with better legibility - having gone down various rabbit holes of Tudor ‘red’ rangers I ended up finding this with all the bits I’d started to like - smiling ‘self rotor’ small rose, smooth bezel etc - it was on eBay for a while then I messaged the seller with an offer and it turned out he lived a few doors down from my office so brought it over and the deal was done - I remember it was the day that the BB58 was released as I’d been invited to the launch at my local Tudor dealers…

    I remember really liking the 36mm Black Bay on the night, the BB58 wasn’t doing it for me

    I’m keeping an eye out for a bargain blue dial BB 32mm as I’m a fan of small watches - grail watch is a 32mm bubbleback…
