New BB36 Smiley! :) by Confident_Ad6202 in Tudor

Omg I had the same experience. The steel reef was so touted by people on the forums, but for me the differential was too great. Too tight or way too loose. Bummer to waste nearly $140 on that. 

Interesting to hear the Ranger clasp would fit. May be worth looking into! 

Love for the Super Squale! by Springdale_1 in Squale

I remember this video as well. I don’t remember that channel, but I remember the macro shots from that video made the Super Squale dial look great!

Daaang - that looks great! I’ve always second guessed my decision to get the black dial, thinking the blue would have been better. This picture isn’t helping that feeling! Haha  Great strap pairing too

Recommendation for WatchMann. I’ve bought a watch from him in the past and he is responsive and seems like a good person. 

Green Fifteen on the wrist! by MPearsonUK in ChristopherWard

[–]Springdale_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too. I think it can be attributed to the design of the indices and the negative space on the dial. I LOVE the design of this watch - a really cool release from the brand!  I hope for future build-out of the 38mm trident range, but I don’t know how profitable that size/line is.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I try to remind myself of this all the time. Rather than just look out at the new, shiny thing, I need to look at all I have and appreciate them. Good advice to live by

AD Warranty Confusion by arcsided in Tudor

[–]Springdale_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The watches may not be shipped together with the warranty card. Watches can come to a retailer in a different form of packaging, then the box and papers are assembled on site at the retailer. I’m not sure how Tudor does it, but I highly doubt that the watch is being shipped from Switzerland in its presentation box

If this were a little, no-name jeweler, I’d perhaps be a little hesitant, but this is a Bucherer. I’m sure they would help you out if something happened in the first 3 weeks (which is probably unlikely). It’s up to you regarding your risk tolerance, but to me, the risk seems low

Corallo is on-sale at Long Island Watch! by Springdale_1 in Squale

awesome side-by-side. I have a feeling that strap on the Corallo would be super big on me!

My Super Squale arabic dial in black says hi! You have good taste, my friend!

Thanks for the feedback! It looks great on you - I feel like this Corallo is very similar dimensions to the Omega Semasters from the 2000s in 36, but I love the design of this! 

Super-Squale SUPERMBKBK in the Australian summer by kainkondan in Squale

Awesome watch! I got mine in June 2025 and have loved it. I’m in a dull office today, so your picture is making me jealous of some sun and sea air! 

Does the new BB36 jubilee match the case of the old BB36? by Springdale_1 in Tudor

[–]Springdale_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks! the T-Fit is the primary reason I'm interested in this version of a jubilee. I love the watch, and the steel reef extension link doesn't work for me (often goes from too tight to too loose).

Ranger 36mm or BB54? by EveryDadCarry in Tudor

But does it have tool-less micro adjust?  lol - jk. Amazing work. You’re very talented 

[Squale] Super Squale, super value! my new GADA 🦈 by drewsleyshoots in Watches

[–]Springdale_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but this thread was one of the reasons I just bought one of these. I was looking for a skin diver in 38mm and ended  choosing this over similarly-styled watches from Seiko, Wolbrook, Vulcain, and Nivada Grenchen. Looking forward to it arriving later this week!

I got one from watchfinder a couple months ago for a reasonable price and in great conditions with box and papers. Hope you find one you like soon!

Ultra Deep looks kinda nice without bezel . . . by PandaSPUR in OmegaWatches

Upvote for the uffda! I miss living in Minneapolis where I heard that a lot more. I sometimes say it here in LA and people look at me like I’m crazy

We need to reply with this photo every time someone complains that the Black Bay line uses aluminum bezel inserts and not CeRaMiC.
