Quite fancy one of these in 2018, but struggling with the idea its a panerai lite
Picked up a Black Bay Bronze today, which is both my first Tudor and my first bronze watch. Initial impressions are very positive, it feels very comfortable on the wrist, just the right amount of heft imho. Wearing it on the leather strap initially, but plan to try the grey Bulang fabric strap designed for the BBB.
Some nice design features, the back of the case is slightly chamfered, to limit wear on the strap (I assume)
and also chamfer along the top case sides and lugs, which I think suit the watch.
The crown is oversized and very tactile, and nicely finished.
And the buckle is also bronze, looks well made, if not quite in the Panerai league.
So overall very pleased. I look forward to seeing how any patination develops. I think it will be a nice everyday wearer and just that little bit different.

What is your wrist size, Now my maximum watch size is 41mm. I had 44mm Seiko once and it's so uncomfortable to wear.
Lovely watch. Really nice looking thing.
Wrist is just on 7 inches but is quite flat. I am quite comfortable with 47mm luminor so this doesn't feel big at all.

always liked the look of these, but just can't get along with the side profile of the case, seems overly thick in the lugs
Have worn this since Tuesday and checked it against an atomic clock, interested to see how the in house movement goes. Timekeeping is excellent, gained one second over the 4 days. Impressive straight out of the box.
