re: OT Watch Thread: Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze: New or Used?

Giving unsolicited advice get a SS Tudor instead and scratch the bronze itch with a less expensive watch that you won't mind covering in ketchup to clean it.

I mentioned the WUS thread to look in but I really should give a little more perspective. I normally don't discuss homage watches much because I have mixed feelings about them. A "homage watch" is a bastardization of the term homage and is used on watch forums like WUS in reference to a watch that is a copy of another watch but doesn't use the trademark name on the watch or dial so it is technically not fake.

I thought I should at least show one option for the bronze watch. This is a "brand" I have seen a decent amount in the Affordable Watch forum at WUS: Steeldive. Most people talk about and get the Seiko Tuna "homages" from them. There are others that do dive watches (One with a frog as the logo) that people there also lie but I can't remember the names. You can buy this watch for under $170, it is clearly a copy of a Seiko though Seiko never made it in bronze. This would be a low risk way to decide if you like bronze. Available on Aliexpress. I have never bought anything from Aliexpress but have watched guys on WUS buy them for years. If you want more info check out



If you want more info check out the thread that has been going on for 8 years:

Don't be afraid to sign up and start a thread in the affordable section about a "toe in the water" bronze watch the folks there are generally very helpful and not at all like tOT, the general forum has more of the tOT bite.
