Nice. I'd like to have a Day-date once I'm old enough to pull it off without looking like I backhand hookers for a living.

bro BallGag, the ice-blue dial, platinum DD40 exist precisely for a gentleman like yourself: white metal for that discreet, unassuming s/steel look. heck, you can even truthfully state that it's not a gold watch without feeling guilty! (heheh). but only you (and the select few) know that it's platinum cos you can feel its heavy heft on-wrist. highly recommended for the discerning gentleman who appreciates the stealth wealth philosophy. :D

just illustrating different strokes for different folks.

even some seiko dive watch owners swap their clasp for the mm300 clasp cos they love the on-the-fly adjustment. i won't be surprised some rolex owners swap their clasp for the glidelock clasp for the same reason.

pls mm300 clasp is the worst.

Hi! Wanna check how much will it cost for servicing a Tudor black Bay with eta movement.

Got offered 3k (2013, no warranty) and 3.4k (2016, with warranty). Both are supposedly mint condition.

Any expert can tell me if it's worth spending that extra 400 dollars! Kamxia daigors!

at those prices... let me guess: it should be a red or blue bezel BB on its thin "distressed-look" leather strap, right? ;)

depends on how risk-verse you are. better ask if the 2016 purchase is from a tudor boutique that has 3 yr warranty. if so, it's relatively more worth it if you value warranty and plan to send the watch in just before warranty expire for a watch spa: complete strip down, ultrasonic cleaning, re-assembly, oiling, regulation & light polishing (if you desire).

otherwise you can buy the cheaper one and use the $400 savings towards an original tudor bb s/steel bracelet... or maybe that latest smartphone gadget you've been eyeing. =:p

ps. make sure you get the full set: inner/outer boxes. all warranty cards. the extra nato strap. the receipt. the hang tags. bring a loupe with you to have a closer examination of the watch.
