    Hello,
    As the title suggests,i need help deciding on wich one to own.
    The truth is,I already own the AT(black dial) and I actually love it(I own it for about 8 months).
    A few days ago I saw the BB on my local AD and I loved it.
    Although the Black Bay is cheaper i really like the design of this watch and that it is really good value for the money.
    The question is,if money is not an issue,what would you choose?

    If i already owned an AT, the black bay all the way.
    which color are you after? black, blue or the red?

    Black.
    With the new in house movement.
    The thing is,I do not want the BB in addition to the aqua terra.
    I can only have just one them.

    It depends on your lifestyle.
    The BB is a sport watch. The AT its a nice combination between sporty and dressy.

    Most that have bought the modern Tudor BBays have flipped them in less than a year.

    Keep the AT ;)


    Note ( not stating everyone has flipped their Tudor but a lot have, I have noticed )

    As an only watch AT without a question. It never looks out of placr under any environment.

    The BB ( and i have kne for sale in the forum) is an exceptional watch as an addition to a collection ) its actually a statement watch, boith on size and design it calls more attention than a Rolex sub no date and even a deep diver.

    Dont get me wrong i love the BB but its more of a playful wear. I also have the AT and its just perfect. Specially once you brush the center links

    I find them both rounded-- perfectly circular, in fact. ::rimshot::

    You're on the OMEGA forum you already know how people are going to answer. I've been wanted the an AT for some time now. I'd go with the BLACK BAY without a doubt. It's such an original and versatile piece.

    Have to agree with Nobel, the BB is great to wear for most occasions, but the AT you can wear for all occasions. I also have noticed that many BB buyers are now selling, but that may only be because something "nicer" (read more expensive...) came around.
    IMHO, I like both, and would be happy to own an AT in addition to my BB...
    just waiting for @Alpha to give up his! ;)

    I know it is a bit of a numbers game ... but I really see an awful lot of BlackBays on the chopping block (not just now, for quite some time) ...

    wonder why?
