i don't know about you but no for me. lol
shield and rose logo on the same watch is a big no no. especially the smiling liner.

black bay is not pelagos. so not sure what tudor is doing now.

i suppose when the new bb is released, the current one will be discontinued? price will drop?

discon, having 2 is gonna cannibalise each other. its a new replacement for the entire line of blackbay.

likely sold out no more, i think pre-owned market will go up like the old 2 line pelagos

 

[Emospence]

What I've read on FC has been overwhelmingly positive, just that most of the designs don't quite appeal to me
