I love the bronze writing. Wonder if that kicked off the idea for the Bronzo BB...

It comes with both a bracelet and material strap?

Has the emblem changed, I thought it used to be a shield?

The come with 'Nato' style, but then there's an option for leather or bracelet, with a small price diffferential.

On mine it's a rose on both face and crown...

My Bronzo has a shield on face, rose on crown.

The Black Bays with the new in house movement come with the shield on the dial - the text at the bottom of the dial is also straight. Mine's got the ETA movement though and that was fine with me.

It looks great. I think there's a seiko diver with a red bezel that also looks good. I like these tudors, got all the looks of a Rolex but much more understated and none of the associated baggage.

They are nice looking (and nice feeling) watches.

So now that Tudor are making in house movements, perhaps the ETA ones will increase in value, like the zenith daytonas did?

Or perhaps not?

Zenith are an admired manufacturer in their own right, ETA are a mass manufacture mechanism, used by many brands, so I just can't se it myself.

I really don't think that has any relevance TBH the el prim is used in Tag Heuer, Panerai, Ebel, Movado, Dunhill and loads of others. If movement mattered that much why is the Zenith not worth more than the Daytona, where the El Prim has not been "de tuned" like it is in the Daytona?
