Maybe I missed the press release, but just noticed on Tudor's website they are calling the Black Bay 31/36/39/41, the Black Bay One line. Interesting choice and bit of a quiet naming update.

For sale is my Zelos Swordfish 40mm black in stainless steel. Full kit. It’s a catch and release. Overall, the watch is in good condition. The case and crystal looks good. The bracelet has wear marks, so I would rate that average. My app indicates it’s...

With the used watch prices going down, is it cheaper to buy a watch in Japan compared to getting one here (in the US)? Going to Japan this summer and I had thoughts of getting a nicer neo-vintage watch there. But I've also seen watches get listed for pretty tempting price in WUS or Reddit. Just buy it here if one I like pops up or wait for Japan and see if they have it for less?

For sale is my Seiko SPB185, better known as MM200 or Steelmaster. This watch will come with a original box, all links to original bracelet and extra bezels. Overall, the watch is in very good condition. The crystal and the case looks great. I am the second owner. The watch was originally purchased in Japan in April 2023. As you can see the hangtag has the Japanese model number, SBDC125.

I wanted to try for the MM300 look, so I replaced the original steel bezel with the black ceramic bezel…
