Various reasons often result in my funds being moved into my other humble pursuits. All that changed when I picked up a couple of watches, which is quite the record for me, in eight months to mark two milestones. First was the Sinn 556 A RS — a wallet-friendly (I had one eye on the impending arrival of my apartment) wedding gift last November. The other pickup in July this year, which will be the story's focus, is the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze (I will call it 'Bronze' from hereon), bought to commemorate my promotion in May this year.
Why the Bronze over its black, blue or silver brethren, and why a Tudor watch in the first place? The advent of the Black Bay Heritage in 2012 piqued my interest and got me fascinated. I never pulled the trigger because, unfortunately, or should I say, fortunately (in hindsight), its case dimensions were unforgiving on my wrist. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight corrected much of those overnight in 2018, but presented a new dilemma with an ever-expanding range of colours, which now include black, blue, silver, bronze and yellow gold.
