Hi
Just ordered a V6f from Tony also !
Will post pics as soon I receive it.
My only concern is the color of the bronze which seems a little too reddish.
But we'll see in real life and with patina!

About to pull the trigger on this, but Im a bit concerned about the case size. I know its 2mm bigger than the other BBs, and my wrist is about 7.1in...wondering if this will look oversized and if I'd be better off going for a Black Bay Red at 41mm.

Anyone here with experience with 43mm cases on slightly smaller wrists?
There is really very little difference, the Bronze watch is larger, but it wears easily and since there is no bracelet option any watch on a soft strap wears smaller on the wrist. I didn't do a wristie because my wrist is a bit over 7.5 but I did take a side-by-side with my BB.

JMHO, if you can wear one, you can wear the other.

Are we allowed to post QC pics in this thread? I got mine and I'm not really sure about them. The watch has weird stains on it, it looks like dried liquid drops. Can I?

That's how bronze patina sometimes goes. You can clean it off and start it afresh with some ketchup

I'll ask Ryan to throw some Heinz in the box :D But it really looks like shit, like I just found it in the dumpster.

Looks really, really good. The leather strap is better than I expected.

Just WOW!! That picture is gorgeous! And I always thought that I would buy the SS with red bezel, but now I don't know! :D

OK, I'll just do it. I'd like to know if this is acceptable?



Now the strap looks pretty cool, nicely thick and all..

Just give her a ketchup bath. ;)

I am going to throw mine today in the ketchup. My Tudor is out of the box waterproof. I have tested it on arrivial, 10 bar, no problem. A watch to have fun with !

I want one of this guys! Hopefully someone wants to sell their v6f that's already in the US. At 43mm it's a perfect size for me.
