    New Tudor BB Bronze Blue

    A presumably limited edition, blue Tudor BB Bronze is soon to be released. It appears to be exclusive to the continental jeweler Bucherer.

    I might need a new phone. That dial looks more Matt black than blue to me......

    Maybe, could just be the bezel that's blue...

    Lol bezel looks black to me also. I'm thinking it's like a bronze black bay black

    A mate of mine had an email from Boucherer asking if he wanted one. I think they are due to be released this week or next.

    Bucherer have an anniversary this year and are celebrating it with a fair few LEs (following a blue theme) from a variety of manufacturers. They have a full window in the Berlin store. Sadly the one I most wanted to see - H Moser was not available. There was a Panerai model which looked very good too.

    I wonder how many they will make available? Bucherer are a decently large chain of shops

    Tudor have milked the BB udder into its overdraft and then some. They could really do with calming down.

    But it's probably the only model range that is selling in any real numbers - the TT versions seem particularly good value next to a Sub too.
    It's just a matter of time...

    I like it. I find the blue used on the blue Pelagos a bit too bright, though I'm sure it looks great in sunlight.
    The blue used on the bronze BB looks to be darker.

    Looks great right up to the unfortunate 3,6 and 9. Ruins it for me.

    Wonder if the bezel numbering is paint or bronze and therefore whether it would patina like the rest of the case. If the bezel numbers stayed bling while the rest of the watch darkened up it might look daft.

    The bronze version is also comically large... I think the blue version looks better than the original personally.

    It looks fairly blue to me.

    I love blue watches, enjoy a Bronzo and I really love a 3,6,9 dial. So why don't I like this? Like the original it doesn't work with the rest of the large hour markers IMHO.

    Some will be ecstatic about this one though and would be a good choice for those that only buy LE watches to boast about and then flip at the merest whiff of profit. Just the latest House of Rolex investment piece this week.

    I really like that, although im not a fan of patina so would keep it clean and shiny. Love the snow flake hands.

    I think it looks great although I wouldn't want to trade my own Black Bay Blue with it as I'm happy with its 41mm case and the fact that it's appearance won't start to decompose as soon as I touch it.

    Looks nice just to big of a lump for me

    New Tudor BB Bronze Blue

    Guys I would be first in line to buy this if it wasn't for the size. My black bay red is my limit size wise. Is there a reason bronze is only available in 43mm? Or is a bronze 41mm like the normal black bay a possibility . What am I missing here.

    The dark blue goes really well with the bronze/gold tones. Reminds me of the omega Speedmaster racing dial just released in Basel

    You do realise if Tudor read this then that might become reality

    Pretty much my thoughts...from the description I thought i'd like it, in the execution it's a definite no. Prefer the original bronze .

    Prefer the bronze/brown combo. For me, the blue detracts from the look significantly.

    I agree that they are rather large, but they carry it off quite convincingly
