Points of Mention
This watch is sold with its original Tudor box and original Tudor paperwork. The watch comes paired on its original Tudor Leather strap with Tudor signed buckle. The watch is in worn condition but is overall very good, see the photos. The main part of wear is on the Sapphire Crystal, it does have some marks as photographed. The watch is running well as you would expect.

Personal Note
A great alternative option to a Rolex Submariner, but the truth is this stands strong on its own merits and I don't believe should even be compared with the Rolex other than they are both great diver watches! The BB58 took the collectors by storm and has been arguably Tudor most successful release since coming back to the market, will they create another knockout hit soon?!
