[MFB Scotland]

I am thinking about buying one of these new. I love the minimalist look. Any opinions particularly from owners would be welcomed 😁

I picked on be up last weekend and absolutely love it. Very versatile. Initially it felt a little big but I've now got used to it and it feels perfect now

Could you post a picture please. My wrist is about 6.75 " and I previously had a heritage ranger

My wrist is the same size as yours.

[MFB Scotland]

Looks good. I am more tempted now!

Will wear very similar to heritage ranger

My wrist is also the same so. Tried on the 36 and it instantly looked too small.

It sits nice and flush to your wrist as well.

Thanks for the responses. I will try and get to a AD tonight. I presume the lugs are 22mm. That would be ideal as I have a couple of 22mm straps which would suit this watch.

Yes they are. I'm just waiting for some straps to arrive for mine.

I have a BB Heritage Blue 41 and a Bronze. Love them both. The 41 is a great daily wearer. I have it on a Blue Colareb strap as posted in another thread but here it is.

I keep thinking I need the blue too. I already have the red but it feels kinda weird getting two watches the same

Very impressed with the quality. I really liked the brown strap version but I hate the stupid deployant clasp shape.

Well done. Curious what exactly is the issue with the clasp ?

Just the shape which is the shield. IMO too big.

[Dejay]

Ok fair enough. Suits me sir though!

Very good looking watch. As a buyer of the (quite comparable) Exp I last year, I'm struck by two things:

First, I envy your ability to decide on a watch, then just up and go to the dealers knowing that it will be there in stock.

Second, I'm surprised how many people are choosing the 41 over the 36. I have the same 6.75" wrist as you, and would have had a 36 Explorer all day everyday and twice on Sundays had it been available in that size (it was less I wanted new, more I wanted lumed arabics, since you ask), and that is just vs the 39 in the case of that watch... with 36 vs 41 differential in the Tudor, when both are available, it is surprising to me that the 41 is so popular, particularly given that retro vibe would seem to argue in favour of the 36. Anyway, just an observation; certainly a great watch in whichever size.

Looks good, wear in good health! I have 6" wrists so I have the 36, on a Eulit perlon. Completes the vintage-ish look.

Kind regards

I think that modern thinking on sizes is that 36 is fine for dress watches but 40 remains the sweet spot (majority not all) for sports watches. The black bay 36/41 pulls DNA from both codes but I think the stronger genes in it are from the sports watch side. The oyster case, the lume, the snowflake hands, heck the sheer solidity and lack of fragility. Sure it's a handsome beast and won't look out of place anywhere but it's not an out and out dress watch, which is why I think 41 is more popular as that's sports watch territory.

Really impressed with this one. Worn constantly since Wednesday. Some great strap options to switch up the look

Ye it's got that simple classic dial that makes it a strap junkie. My Tudor rangers like that

I love the simplicity of this watch, it gives it an ageless quality. This and the black bay blue are my personal favourite but I wonder whether I am in the minority as the red seems to be more popular?
Great addition, enjoy

Better pictures hopefully to show the lovely dial

Yes. Totally agree. Forgive the repetition photo submission of my BB blue but it fits the thread

I really like this watch. Last year I waited until I could view one in the flesh, after trying it on I really couldn't make my mind up if 36mm was just a tad to small. I still fancy one but the 41mm is slightly to much for me. I would have loved a 38mm.
That leather strap looks very nice.

In case anyone was wondering how this would look on a Pelagos rubber strap (not sure how I feel about it at the moment!):

If only those end links were steel instead of titanium it'd get 10/10 for me.

They are steel. They are the end links that came on the Black Bay 41 bracelet.

I like a sporty non-diver so this looks great to me. Very versatile as it looks good on the bracelet and various straps. Might keep an eye out for one !

Indeed, I think it is a great contender for a one watch solution if you wanted to go down that route!

I didn't realise that, so the rubber simply plugs into the end link? That's brilliant. I might get a rubber for my BB steel.

I don't suppose you took a picture of the 36mm for comparison did you?

Agree completely regarding 38mm. I could probably live with the 36, probably not with the 41 (although congrats are in order for those who can and have), but there would be no doubt at all at 38. Possibly my perfect watch if it existed!

I can relate to these comments.

I, too, have a 6.75" wrist but guess it's a little more rounded as, in the case of non sports watches and by that I mean divers and chronos, a 36mm watch suits me more than any thing much larger.

Good job we are all different and glad that you like it.

[MFB Scotland]

I have had mine for nearly a week and I have not worn anything else.

A great watch and very versatile with lots of strap combinations.

Not for me. Can't help disliking the ugly hour hand.

[meridian]

Makes my explorer look expensive doesn't it, I have an early BB red that stands its corner with any of my Rolex. I am a big fan of Tudor, the quality is superb and the availability is a refreshing change from The Rolex Oliver Twist attitude.Lovely lookin watch- enjoy.

Funilly enough this was exactly what I thought when I saw this watch for the first time; at £2k new it is a steal IMVHO.

That said, I would still have the Explorer, even with the stubby hands as the 39mm and quite slim profile is absolutely perfect for me as a daily wearer.

I would definitely not rule out buying the BBH41 or, better still, the BBH Chrono which I REALLY fancy.

sorry but this looks pretty boring to me, I think I liked the older BB version more..

Looks good on the rubber. I found it a little on the large side with a fair bit of empty real estate on the dial but better than the 36mm and great value.

[bubi]

At that size it's pointless.
Then again I have the 36.
It would sort of need... a rotating bezel.
Oh no... hold on...
