What time is it? Watches and horology

Haha. I had this exact thought process today.

I don't understand the thought process

[I wish I could afford a watch... WHY DID I BUY THIS PLACE]

Interestingly the Tudor website is showing all the current ( red blue and black ) black bays in the new configuration ie new logo new in house movement etc , so that means the black bay black in original guise was effectively only available for about 4 months . Do we think this is likely to be collectable ?

@ Stonehedge, I had the same thought process!
Liked the thumbnail of the air king, clicked it, big pic loaded, nope.

@ejay

I've had the same thought.... I may pick one up for that very reason.

Plus it's still a fine looking watch in its own right.

Yes I have the OG Pelagos with original dial configuration and ETA mvt, collectors are going mental over it and that had a massive run in comparison to the Red BB.

I'm not a collector though, I just want the new mvt, I was working on a 56 a few weeks ago and they are lovely.

I've got one on its way cos always liked it and actually prefer it with the " old " Rose logo and the simple writing on the dial .

I happened to be looking for a Black Bay Black a few days ago (curious how much they cost over here after reading a review) and nowhere, from my quick google, seemed to have them in stock.

2.2 to 2.4K, Chronext and Iconic have them.

We have about 4 I think , and red and blue as well split between our two tudor stores .....

^that's gross

£160 seems reasonable if their work is of a high standard. Saves you £20 of postage. Did the guy in Hatton Garden think the rotor was ok, or did he mention re-bushing it?

You could message the seller and request a partial refund to help pay for the service.

Good to see they've extended the hands on the new explorer to meet the minute / hour markers.

It's one of the main reasons i bought a ref. 114270 instead of the 214270.

Shame about the blue lume. Eurgh.

Those people at Bamford need to be skinned alive and buggered for crimes against horology.

Where is that if you don't mind me asking? I like the black one but would like to try one in the flesh.

Unfortunately it was just relayed though his daughter and we spent the day playing phone tag. All the info I got was - "it doesn't need replacement parts, it needs to be serviced, you'll get a 1yr guarantee".

The seller has been really positive and communicative. So we'll see.

Shame about the blue lume. Eurgh.

yeah not a fan either

I really like the blue lume but I can't afford one so it doesn't matter.

Black Bay Black shouldn't have had any gold on it... Daft...

please tell me to stop lurking

not a fan of the dials matching up perfectly though
