Hey all!

I wanted to share how I spoiled myself this weekend!

It all began with my parents dropping in for the weekend: my mom wanted to peruse a few watches and some jewelry, and as she was entertained by one salespeople, another one snuck up on me and started showing me the Tudor lineup.

I've been eyeing the bronze Black Bay for a bit, but more of a piece "for later".... The seller pushed me to try on several of the pieces, from the new yellow Chrono to the black bays in all colors and sizes ..but when I tried on the bronze, it was just ... Beautiful.

While I'm gushing about the watch and how much I loved how it looks, the wife strolls in and casually drops a "you should treat yourself"....

So I did!

I had a bit of remorse as it's not something I was planning or scheming for but I did have this year's work bonus just lying there (don't worry, the rainy day fund and credit card are both in a good place)... So I pulled the trigger!

The salesman was fantastic, patient and insightful (shout out to Dave from zadok at Austin)... He got champagne for the whole family as we closed out the payment and wrapped the box and papers 

Little did I know that the watch came with a brown nato strap which is stunning! Dave recommended I wear the watch with the bronze strap just so it all gets a bit of patina before I swap it out.

Either way, the size is great, the weight is on point and the lume is astonishingly bright. I've loved how the dial and the bezel seem to change color from dark brown to reddish and even black depending on the light.

It's a beautiful watch and I'm happy (and Lucky !!!) to take it home! 

Also, I'll be happy to share pics of the watch on the nato strap when I make the change!

Happy weekend to all!
