TUDOR BLACK BAY BRONZE

[HarmeetJohal1]

Hi all I have wanted a rolex SS Dayton forever and am about 2 years of saving away from buying one...
Local dealer mentioned I should look at a TUDOR BLACK BAY BRONZE as they have stopped making them sit on it and then sell in a few years... Do they have a good following and is it potentially that easy?
Thanks

You'd probably do as well to guess the winner of the next Grand National.

Buying new watches as investments only ever guarantees profits to one person - the dealer.

The Black Bay Bronze isn't being discontinued, the dial is changing from brown to black. Maybe the brown will become sought after, maybe not?

The problem with bronze watches is the same thing that appeals, they corrode and discolour. So if it's a long term investment (and it would need to be IMHO as BBBs are currently selling nearly new for more than £500 less than RRP) you'd need to seal it up and never use it.

I struggle to see it being much of an investment in the watch world in two years.

Keep saving for the watch that you really want and avoid potentially expensive distractions some would say

It's a nice thought, coming at it as the owner of a now patinated two year old BBB (brown), which I still like and enjoy wearing.

However, I think too many are out there for it ever to be a real collector's piece. Every Tudor AD has one in the window still; won't be long before they start discounting them to make way for the grey face.

Have to say it is probably the most consistently accurate conventional automatic I have.

Odd how I like it in a way I never did my early GMT ('though for some reason I now have a hankering to re-scratch that itch). Bloody watches!
