Heritage Black Bay 36 - Rationalizing Desire

Watches can be a bit troubling, because frankly, there is always something new to catch your eye.  But for many of us, after the merry-go-round of so many different styles, options and brands, we often come back to the classics.

So what has been on my mind lately?  The Tudor  Black Bay 36 mm.  I got to try this little bijoux on at BaselWorld.  It is smaller than the current trend - 36 mm.  But it fits just right.  Bigger, is not always better ; )

The other Black Bay models are very nice, but this is the one that calls to me.
