The BB36 is my daily for almost 2 years now, I love it and enjoy to wear it every day. I also like the fact, that it hasn't got an inhouse movement, makes it cheaper to service in the future.

I have one, and I adore it. A perfect watch for me - perfect size, great quality, discreet, stylish but still brilliant. I’ll only replace it with an Explorer 36mm!

I love the BB36 in blue, the one thing I wish it offered was a domed crystal rather then dead flat

[ajgross]

The BB36 S&G recently got in house movement and T-fit clasp. Hopefully that means they will be rolling out those updates to the full steel lineup soon

This is my favorite diving watch Tudor makes. 🥰

I’ve had the BB36 for just over a year now, and I’m quite happy with it. The only thing that bothers me is that overly long triangle at 12. No idea why they didn’t keep it more symmetrical like they are on a submariner. (Well, I do have some idea…)

Bought one a few months ago and I love it. The ONLY thing I wish it had was the tfit clasp

[jeremyeagles]

I was in between this and the date just 36. Ended up getting that date just but still in lust for this black bay.

Sweet video, great watch! I have the BB41, I believe the crown tube helps keep the side of the watch scratch free when adjusting the watch

[RustyLongPipe]

One watch I’ll never sell. It’s funny because I ordered one from AMG watches after seeing some pics and videos online around 5 years ago. When I went to pick it up, I was underwhelmed. I sat there looking at it that night wondering why I’d bought it. Hard to believe now as I absolutely love it. It’s as tough as they come too. A proper daily beater

I was waiting until early 2023 to purchase, but crown has been a sticking point, not to add the recent price increase. I can only assume this is in preparation for the release of the in-house movement version at Watches and Wonders 2023.

This a pretty basic luxury steel watch but with a top grade version of the Selita 200. I predict in 5 years these will be around £4k.

I've had my BB36 blue dial for about two years. Classy and unobtrusive, it's my daily wear watch.

[ShaneAnable]

Not really sure why you showed a totally different watch at 1:55 to 2:03...

[BusoT]

Did the reviewer wear a Monta watch in the video? :) (at 5:50 - the clasp looks like a Monta). It is funny, because i can't decide between the BB36 and the Monta Noble. Which has the better finishing, and the better feel overall? (I know, the movements are close, SW200 vs SW300, and the Monta's clasp has a tool free microadjustment)

Great video, but shot at the 1:56 mark is a side shot, and that's not the Tudor. Looks like a Grand Seiko, possibly.

i am planning for rolex datejust 37 but really im thinking to save more money and get this uniqe watch, , i like it !!

[dylanjmanley]

Anyone else notice the brief shot of a Tissot mixed in there? 😂

[kingofrome]

man i cant find this watch anywhere with the bracelet, they only seem to sell it with a strap :(

[Anchor]

Great piece, but for what it is, it shouldn't cost more than $2, 500

I love my BB36, my only gripes are the lack of half links and sharpness of the bracelet edges. Neither of these are justified on a £2000+ watch.
Still bought it though. 😊
