I got one in the end, it’s the 33mm chrome wind up sunburst dial in mint condition for 2017, had another better lizard strap and TIMEX silver buckle, winds well, and wears well, have no complaints for an eBay knock down price, didn’t come with the original box or sleeve.

Thanks so much for doing this. There really is something about this watch. I have a 7” wrist so I’m used to 39-42 sized pieces, 36 always seems a bit small, but this just has that something. Have to grab one. Cheers. 😎👍🏼 very nice vid. Would have liked to have seen a wrist shot 🙂…..never mind, just watched your unboxing 😁

Since the video I have actually sold the BB36 to gather funds for next purchase. That was quite awhile ago and recently I bought the Tudor ranger which is a fabulous watch and 39mm! Highly recommended 👍
Think these watches, after checking were made by Giorgio Galli Design Lab (Design studio in Milan in Italy since 1996, acquired 2007) Galli designs watches for: Timex Nautica Versace Versus Salvatore Ferragamo But certain that this is where this new Marlin was being made looking at their website. We shouldn’t forget that Timex Group B.V., or Timex Group, is an American - Dutch holding company headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.
Yes it has Arabic numerals, it depicted 1965 in its reproduction in 2017, think you might like to compare to an original to see how a real one looked and felt to see whether you liked new or old…
Very helpful video. Love the leather strap. I have another watch on a Hirsch Mariner strap which is an outstanding strap. Q. How wide are the BB 36 lugs? Maybe 19mm? Would a 20mm strap squeeze on? (As Hirsch do 18-20 mm version of Mariner, not 19). Thanks
My dad gave me the one with the blue face in 1971 0r 1972. I wore it for years and I still have it. It's around fifty one years old now and it still runs. Just sits in the drawer now. If my dad knew I still had it and it worked he would come out of his grave and want it back!
Anyone know what size of screwdriver I need to use on a Tudor Black Bay 36 bracelet screws? Do I really need to remove the bracelet from the watch before I heat up to soften the loctite? Is it best to use a hollow ground screwdriver head? Many thanks in advance
I REALLY like it, however the super-long crown tube really bothers me. No idea, why it's so long! I feel like it's dig into the back of my hand and it also looks lopsided. Also compared to the BB58, with it's in-house movement, this seems like a much worse value for money, considering it's just running a standard ETA movement.
I did love it and the accuracy was fantastic so I'm thinking Tudor spent time on tweaking the movement. I have since sold it to help raise funds for a Rolex OP39
40mm and up,,,,mainly 42 and up....are HUGE watches....and look dumb on most people....unless they are huge...shaq size.....the fad/trend to wear baggy pants and huge mm watches....is over.....and it was and is...DuMb too....
