Tudor Black Bay 36 - My story 

Fantastic piece and maybe a future cult classic? I wore mine pretty much everyday for 3 years, weddings, funerals, in the sea and for work. It truly can handle most situations. I’ve recently bought a seiko captain willard so it’s having a much deserved break, for now anyways. Enjoy.

I've had mine from july this year. 6.5inch wrist, one original link replaced by uncleseiko halflink and the micro adjustment set at the min. On the hottest summer days when the hand was swelling, shifted the micro adjustment to the middle. Perfect fit for me, absolutely, don't need anything more... Compared to rolex OP36 and exp 2022 (also 36mm) and the wearing experience is pretty comparable. Bought at AD brand new, it was quite expensive for me, but I don't regret at all, it healed me from rolex desire :) Love the simplicity, symmetry, reliable timekeeping, shining lume and the fact that no one outside knows that I have almost $3k watch on my wrist :)

I was lucky enough to have Rolex Explorer 36 and Tudor Black Bay 36 at the same time. I sold Rolex and wear Tudor. Build Quality of both Watches is at the same level but there were a few things that made my decision. I may be the only one out there who hates mercedes hand. Snowflake hand looks much more unique to me, and I have to say I love it. I am not a big fan of 369 either. I like those round markers instead, it just feels right to me. On wrist this Watch feels humble, understated, sporty but elegant which makes it ideal everyday wear. Bb36 is slimmer than rolex but it has more wrist presence at the same time. My wife actually said that Tudor looks more manly… Bracelet is outstanding although I dislike those female endlinks, as they tend to scratch the first link if you are not carefull enough. 150water resistance makes it secure to any water activity. Mine is dead accurate, less than 1sec/day after 2years of ownership. Price is adequate to what you get which I couldn’t say about Explorer. This is just my opinion of course!

I have a 7-1/8” wrist, mine fit perfectly out of the box. I think I moved the micro adjust in one. I’ve worn mine on multiple camping, motorcycling, and alpine river swimming trips, but it is exceptional, stunning really, with a suit - truly a go anywhere, do anything watch, and that’s why Im so devoted to it.

I've got the BB36 in blue and it's amazing. Also uncle Seiko makes a half link for the bracelet if you need it.

Great video! I have the BB36 blue dial and is my everyday watch. I love it more and more every time I look at the time. Goes with every occasion. The BB36 is actually my first luxury watch.

I have 50 watches, including Rolex and Omega and the BB 36 is easily in my top 3!

Wow, I watched this video and your other comparison video with the BB58 and it really helped my choice! I just got home from the Tudor boutique with my Black Bay 36 in black and I’m elated! I had tried it on leather before since they didn’t have the bracelet version and it didn’t do it for me. I also tried the blue on the bracelet but wasn’t convinced. Finally I went back and they had the black on bracelet and I knew right away this is the one! Everything about it just makes sense on the wrist. The crown tube, the snowflake hands. I love it! Thanks for the video!

Great review. I'm not a watch subscriber but I enjoy just following your journey. I bought the leather band you showed for the Christopher Ward 300

Beautiful watch! Simplicity is hard to get right 👌

Lovely watch, I have a bb58, I just can't bring myself to pay 2400 for an ETA based movement but that Christopher ward is so nice

Keep up the good work mate. Tudor 36 blue...only thing regretting selling it was that lack of AR coating.

Really interesting to see your opinion on this. I'll be sure to remind you when you come to say you're letting it go 😂👍

Absolutely love this watch, easily my favorite one watch collection under $5k. Unfortunately I’m selling mine as I also have a Grand Seiko and a Tudor BB58 that I find more interesting. But if I had to keep only one this would probably be it.

Hey man, great review! Are you planning on reviewing the BB58? We have the same wrist size and I'm curious how you feel about it vs. the BB36.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new CW sea lander 36

I really like your taste in watches, Alan! Thanks for sharing! If to choose between Sinn 556A and BB36 which one would you pick? I have BB58 gilt and want to add black/white watch and I like the bb36 but my concern is that it will be way similar to BB58. What do you think? Also, have you ever considered Sinn 556i?

Three purchases tells me you consider it a mediocre watch. But I don’t blame you. I’ve been in the watch game for several years now and haven’t come ANYWHERE close to finding that perfect watch. It has been an agonizing past few years haha

Question… what’s your take on about the blue dial? By the way it looks absolutely great on your wrist don’t let it go never anymore ever! 😉

Lovely watch. I'm on the brink of buying one, but I'm not sure if Tudor will release an updated version with the same case as the new S&G BlackBay. What's your thoughts?

The BB36 is a great watch, I love it! I also made a video about it on my channel if you are interested. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

ÓTIMO RELÓGIO 👍👍 🇧🇷
