I have this watch and the Rolex Explorer 114270. The Tudor’s solid feeling bracelet and clasp, noticeably better lume, and higher water resistance make it a better daily wearer. When I bought it back in 2018 it was about +5/day and now it runs more closer to +1/day. I’m surprised you’re not more disappointed about +30s/day. I have never taken my off its original bracelet, but its 19mm lug width makes it more difficult to find aftermarket straps.

The BB36 is a great daily wear watch for sure. Also, the 114270 is a fantastic looking watch. The +30 does bother me a bit but that isn't too hateful compared to a lot of other watches, but I do wish it were more accurate. I need to see if it's magnetized and get that taken care of if it is

Nice video! Wearing a BB36 two tone at the moment, loving it and wearing it everyday

Omega 2551.80. It's the 36mm Seamaster. Fantastic watch. Can't go wrong with Grand Seiko dress watches either. Usually 37mm though

Super late to this but I’m about to pull the trigger on the blue dial 36mm and enjoyed this review. I half buy the argument on the missing AR coating but the flip side is that the AR coating scuffs up a lot more easily than the sapphire. With such a legible dial and handset I am happy to forego the AR. My only real gripe is the protrusion of the crown. It kills the elegance just a little but not a deal breaker. Great video.

Thanks! Yeah you're right, those Seamaster prices have definitely gone up

my favourite watch is the rolex submariner no date, this thing has a very similar face to a no date sub without the bezel, its actually more versatile because it can double as a dress watch field watch go swimming with it and it has great lume, and doesnt have the ridiculous price of the sub, i bought one, the no date sub is still my favourite watch, but i like this, and thats fine

I bought one of these second hand, and it was -20 seconds pr day, sent it in for service and got it adjusted for free covered by warranty and now it’s on +4 seconds/day. So maybe look into that?

Nice review. I’d say that the lack of AR is probably more of an issue in photos and film than in real life. That dial is so dark and markers so legible it’s easy to read in any light. My biggest issue is that with a 7.25in wrist, the bracelet is slightly too small for me. Rather than order another link, I decided to put mine on a 19mm green single pass strap. It’s very simple, adds to the ‘field’ aesthetic, and looks great when the greenish lume shows itself…

I had the 41mm Black Bay Blue but then I traded it in when I got a PAM380, then I sold it and my 84 16013 two tone Datejust and got a 18038 Day-Date. I have been using my 16040 Submariner as a daily watch in about every place that I go but it is getting a bit valuable and I think a 36mm Black Bay would be perfect. A 36mm Explorer would be the best but they have also risen in value..

Time keeping should be 10. In the last 8 days mine gained one second, in eight days, total. That is typical. I clock 4 of my watches all the time and my BB36 and BBB/B both keep +/- 1 second or better, and sometimes much better. The Tissot Gentleman also runs very close to this. The BB36 is my favorite watch and gets the most wrist time by far.

That watch is definitely running within COSC. To be COSC certified it should be running at no more than +6 or -4 a day. If yours is running at +3 then that is well within the tolerances. And for a non COSC certified watch that’s very good. The Tudor Black Bay 36 is a gorgeous watch as well. Very versatile and reliable.
