You interest me strangely...
Will be nice to see that, I had a chat with a AD about the heritage range and he said there discontinuing the black bays??
Maybe just sales pater but they had 4 years interest free if that interests anybody..
Real or not?
That's it
I don't believe that.Originally Posted by murkeywaters
But who knows about this bronze. It looks plausible, at least.
interesting that they may have moved in house if true...?
Now, does that suddenly make my BBB a sought-after rarity given they would only have been in production for about 6 months or does no-one care? I am assuming the latter for at least the next 20 years!
I saw that posted on instagram earlier. I think it looks fantastic and would certainly be tempted to buy one depending on price!
EDIT: Just noticed it's 43mm though so I'll reserve further judgement until I see some wrist shots. I wonder why they have switched the logo from the rose that they used on the previous Black Bay models.

Ooh that's lovely! I don't have a bronze bezel watch and feel the need...been toying with a Breitling SOH bronze for a while but this would tick the box as an alternative.
If it's a similar price to the current BB then I'd certainly be tempted. Let's wait and see what they announce on the 16th.
Love it ,would give one a go
Seems to be a very popular model and one they've updated with new colour ways to expand the range. To discontinue it seems ridiculous. I'd put it down to salesman BS.
There's a bronze theme to Tudors Instagram so a bronze black bay looks imminent.
Maybe by 'discontinue' they mean the current ETA one will be phased out and a new in-house one taking its place, a-la the Pelagos.
The bronze version looks really good, I'd wear one of those for sure.
Or go with the glycine combat sub.
Edit: ignore me I'm an idiot!

It looks nice. Surely tempting...
My German is rubbish but that seems to say it'll have their in-house movement as well
I have just considered posting on the bronze watch thread that I just don't see the attraction and then I decided against it and kaapow I see the pic of the Tudor and am converted. That looks really very nice.. I am going to have to have a Tudor at some point!
I was told exactly the same in an AD in Horsham about two weeks ago. I was in there for something else and we were just chatting so I believed her when she said they'd been told that by the Tudor rep. Depends if the Tudor rep was telling the truth though..
Love it except for the 3 6 9 on the dial
Yes, and COSC rating as well, as also inscribed on the dial. No such rating on current black bays.
The number of times I have heard something is going to be discontinued or the classic price rise is eminent from AD sales....
I like tudor and I like the BB range. Personal preferences is still the red bezal over black or blue. Bronze is a bit of a novality for me. And no doubt one day I will take the plunge but I don't think the BB in bronze is all that.
I had the red when it was first released, I liked it but didn't feel the love. Now the black variant is a different matter and the bronze even more so. I'll have a black one by the year end unless the bronze is in the same area price wise.
Looks good but am not sure if it is true or a piece of Getman imagination.
Rolex/Tudor going into
Bronze requires me to suspend
Disbelief. But,I can be wrong.
I would like to think this is a geniune thing since bronze watch cases are very popular at the moment. It might also explain the talk of a discontinued model. Hopefully what was meant was that the eta powered BB would be replaced by the in-house movement across the BB range. And a justifiable reason for a price increase, at least to them if not the punters.
I wish Tudor would stop making Black Bays, because I want them all! A nice twist on the design I think.
Few nice broke pieces appearing now but I think Panerai 507 is the best looker to date if the Tudor its real and ages well it could be a good contender
RIAC
I like it, interesting there is no shortage of black bay black's for sale in dealers. They were not the hard to find piece that was all hyped up.
Forgive my ignorance but can the BB blacks still be bought new from an ad?
Great to see the Marine Nationale stretchy elastic strap (potentially) getting a reissue; cheapest strap I own. Been looking for a few replacements for a while.
Yes
I too would only believe it if l saw it. But, that said, Tudor aint rolex and maybe the sub-brand is the outlet for big brother to try new ideas and not have to play it safe all the time.
This. I'm expecting a wholesale move to in-house from ETA across the BB range rather than a discontinuation.
SGR
Same here, think the other versions are nicer without the numerals. Still a handsome watch though.
For me it's the 3 6 9 dial that appeals. Now, if only they would lose the snowflake hands...
Ditto. I've never been a fan of snowflake hands. Much as I like the BBs (any version) aesthetically, I can't help feeling they are a bit contrived, deliberately bringing in every(?) "desirable" vintage feature from the past into a single watch, eg. snowflake hands, no crown guards, gilt dial (for BBred and BBblack), and now 3, 6, 9 dial. Doesn't stop me wanting one with Mercedes hands though!
Tudor just did a 'peak' Instagram close up of the strap - exactly The same as the leaked images. Looking forward to seeing the official shots this week. A shame it will still be as thick as a house brick though.
So this is definitely legit?! Fantastic!
It's nice, but I actually liked the Oris bronze watch more - the one there was a topic about the other week.
Some stock pics
Rumoured price is around 3.700
Well I think it's safe to say I'm going to be all over that. Stunner
Well l never...
I own a BB blue and must admit this looks great/intriguing in the pictures. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal.
Must say I really like this. Not a fan bronze, normally - but this is looking fantastic!
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
How strong is bronze vs steel? But I must say I like this model a lot.
I like it. I like it a lot.
I've admired the black bay since it came out - and especially the black. As others have already said this bronze has piqued my interest too.
I like it a lot, and pleased they've dropped the Tudor Rose logo and 'self winding rotor' nonsense.
Now that looks good enough to join its Red sibling in the watch box.
And if it takes as long to hit the shops as the original Black Bay Red did after its Basel unveiling then I have around 9 months to save up!
