Tudor Black Bay 36

Outstanding. Congratulations 👌

Gorgeous 😍

Thanks @DanTheo82. It was bought back in 2021 during the pandemic and just before prices started skyrocketing

Can’t agree more 😍

It’s a good 1st luxury watch to start with!

Yes, right! I have several watches but this is the most comfortable to wear

Dang! congrats. 🎉🍾🎊🎈

Congrats! Have had the same BB36 for several years and it’s an awesome piece. Don’t be scared to wear it as can be commonly done with first luxury watches.

Also, these prior generation BB36’s knock the socks off the new ones. Enjoy it!

Thanks @Mr.Santana 👍

Beauty of a watch and Congratulations. This was also was one of my choice for first Grail watch but I ended up on a GS Quartz

Thanks @JackieMoon_LMS . Yes, you’re right! TBH, I don’t want to wear it everyday, because, once its on my wrist, I can’t help myself from taking it off. So, I have learned not to be addicted to this piece and give another watches a chance.

Wow! Look at that stunning dial.. GS (especially with Spring Drive) is definitely one of my grail watches

Wouldn’t call it addicted. Wear what you want and don’t feel obligated to wear everything in the watch box. I slimmed my collection down from 12 to 5 this year because I wasn’t wearing several of them and gravitated towards others.

I had a similar mindset where I had to wear everything and it stressed me out. Came to the point where I wore what I wanted and anything that I didn’t wear for several months was sold. Zero regrets.

Yeah, that makes sense and thanks for sharing the experience. One of the reasons I joined this community is to learn, listen, and see others' perspectives. This rabbit hole hobby has brought me to appreciate more. There are actually no fixed standards for luxury, affordability, worth, etc. As long as we're enjoying and happy, all of those points are just relative and subjective.

You won't regret having that as your first. Its probably my favourite watch at the moment. And the ETA smile is the best example the in house seems to have lost something along the way

Yes, you’re right @Watch9. The movement is really great, only +1s/day, similar to COSC spec without having COSC word in the dial. Thanks for stopping by 🤝

4yrs on and mine is still running the same as yours 👍
