Introducing: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze, Now With In-House Tudor Manufacture Movement (Deta
The Black Bay and Pelagos dive watches are two of the most dramatically successful vintage-inspired, and eminently affordable, dive watches anyone is producing today, and while they're not the letter-perfect reboots of original vintage models that some would have preferred, we think Tudor's been smart to keep a lot of the salient details of their vintage dive watches, but avoid rote repetition. The worst-case scenario for vintage-inspired watches in general is when designers add unwanted features that break the spell of immersion in history and heritage, thereby making you feel as if you just have to try too hard to love a watch you really want to love. The newest Black Bay from Tudor is now out, and in some ways it's the most risky one yet: Tudor's delivering it in bronze, which can be a dichotomizing metal to use in what's supposed to be a classically inspired, unpretentious diver's instrument watch. 1 OF 8 This one, however, really looks like it

My first experience with APSC
I am always worried when I have to send a watch to the manufacturer for warranty or repair work as somehow things just never come back perfect like they should... but I've only read fantastic things about APSC and my steel diver needed to be sent in for various reasons. My steel diver has been running fast since the very first day I received it... never sent it in since I was too worried that fixing that would mess something else up. I also noticed that the inner bezel of my diver had a defect, it didn't align perfectly with the hour indices on the dial (misprinted). And finally, just before I sent the watch in, I noticed that the inverted triangle at 12 o'clock had a pit or hole on the lume... so I decided to send the watch in to take care of all these issues under warranty and to get my 3rd year warranty extension.I emailed them a few times to confirm their address and response was quite good. They also sent me an email once the watch arrived and it contained a document stating the c

Pam249 - prefer old or new?
Something refreshingly charming and simplistic about this. Sadly, I feel butchered by later iterations. Thoughts?

PAM380 pics please...
Will get a PAM380 at the end of the month, will most likely wear it on OEM JV, please please post pics of your PAM380s...

Black Deepsea to be discontinued?
It used to be that the case size for the Sea-Dweller and the Sea-Dweller Deepsea were markedly different. But now that the Sea-Dweller has jumped from 40mm to 43 �� just 1mm below the Deepsea, could the black Deepsea be at risk of being discontinued? Sure, depth ratings are different for both watches, but the Deepsea is essentially a niche watch, a niche that can be easily filled with the James Cameron. How many prospective buyers will look at the 43mm Single Red Line Sea-Dweller and decide on the black Deepsea instead because, hey, 4000ft just doesn't cut it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
