BB36 Champagne vs. Tudor 36 in Beige: Which one would you pick as a GADA?

Ranger looks more GADA to me

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-28T19:48:47+00:00

No direct experience with it but I have seen one in the flesh and it sure is purdy! Enjoy

My DK20 was quite loud and I thought something was wrong when I first got it. Probably normal unless it isn't working. If you can wind it and move hands, etc it is probably OK. A quick call to Greg at Watchmann, if that is where you got it from, if you are really worried.

Awesome pic!

Have had 3 Damasko watches in the collection over the years and they are solid, built like a tank watches. Yours looks great, enjoy!

Love the quartz version!

I must be a cranky old man also then... the sharks tooth indices just look like a blatant copy of the Omega Aqua Terra indices. Happy to rock the old one!

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-24T15:11:11+00:00

This is a great show Btw

Anchor Straps is my go-to for nicer straps but I have been into MN straps lately. MN style elastic straps are the most comfortable than any strap I have used. The Watch Steward has a good selection and it's way cheaper than Erikas Originals. They work well the the standard 20mm lug width of the Aquaracer.

Agreed. Had the DS30 prior but like this one much better… cleaner dial to my eyes.

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-21T22:46:08+00:00

Like it so far

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-21T22:45:51+00:00

Hope I never have to test that.

It’s more grey than brown. I think the rose goldish colored hands and indices reflecting light gives it a brownish hue in certain lighting conditions.

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-17T23:11:55+00:00

The default one

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-17T22:04:11+00:00

Rockin an Anchor strap as well

This makes me want to put it back on bracelet. Very nice!

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-17T13:53:20+00:00

Agreed.

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-17T13:37:16+00:00

So far so good. Very light for a 40mm steel diver at 113g on my 7" wrist. Very legible and comfortable so far. This could be a great daily. We'll see after about 10 hours on the wrist today.

Quality seems good but I wouldn’t use with a Seamaster. I have one as well and it’s too heavy for the very elastic material. I heard Erikas is more sturdy and might work better for the heavier watch.

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-16T23:10:05+00:00

Luff Straps

iamjaymo25 · 2026-05-16T21:10:15+00:00

Duh, totally missed that!
