- Buying my first luxury watch, I discuss the strange elements that coalesced behind my purchase of the Tudor Black Bay 79230N, which is temporarily on a Strapcode Endmill straight-edge.

Congratulations on your purchase. So refreshing to hear someone speaking positively about the 41mm Black Bay variant. Sick to death of those feminine wristed Black Bay 58 fans, constantly crying about the difference 2mm makes and begging for more bezel/dial colour ways to match their shoes and handbags..... Truth is, if any of the limp wristed brigade were offered the choice between a BB58 and a Rolex Sub 41mm, they’d break a nail swiping the sub. Enjoy your watch!
My favorite comment on UA-cam today! you are not wrong! Enjoy the Tudor McMahon, its a good one.
LOL
Mr. Rebuy entered a new realm, we are in store for a whole new journey. C'mon McMahon
Jeff, you finally got a Tudor. Welcome to the club.
Congratulations on seeing the light. I have enjoyed your endless anguish and ruminations. Glad it culminated in such a fine choice.
Nice to meet up with Jeff! Great collection, I wish I kept some of the pieces you have that I sold off. And yes, that 033 on the Hexad is beautiful in person.
Man, I’m watching this video again in 2024 because I’m obsessed with the BB58. This version of the BB is very nice too.
I do love the 58 also. Great one and done.
Congratulations! Great to follow you on your journey.
Congrats on the purchase, Jeff! Beautiful watch!
Still think you need to try the Pelagos - convinced it's the perfect watch for you!
I've been saying also. It's the last watch I've bought in the last few years...
Congrats, McMahon. Hope the Black Bay will bring you joy!
Congratulations!! Please get the OEM bracelet and have the full experience. Maybe time to move a few Seiko’s on to fund that?
FINALLY! You’ve broken the bonds of the Cult Of Seiko. Welcome, McMahon, to the watch world. May your life always be +or- 0.
Congrats! Enjoy the watch! Be happy with what you have and enjoy the contrast between the watches that you have.
Congratulations 🎉 Glad to see you get a Tudor. Been enjoying your journey. Enjoy!
May the force be with you, Jeff
A huge congrats!🍻👏 The black bay is an amazing watch. You’ll never get sick of staring at that vivid matte black dial. Well done!
Somehow, I knew a Tudor was in your future. I'm sure everyone saw this coming.
100% 👍👍👍
About time Bucko! Enjoy.
Congrats on the new watch Jeff. Will look better when you get it on the proper strap.
You need to ask for the Tudor bracelet. It is Devine.
Awesome to see you taking it to the next level ! Can't wait to see the wrist roll on the bracelet your getting 👍👍👍 Congratulations Dude!
Congratulations on the tudor, it's a great piece. The polished chamfered edges are killer!
Congratulations brother!!! Beautiful watch.
It's about time!
Congratulations 🎉 McMahon!😎
Great Watch ⌚ Congratulations 🥳
The watch looks good on the bracelet that it on
Congrats, Jeffrey!
Congratulations on your 1st luxury piece McMahon! You deserve it 10,000%! Let this be a new chapter in your journey and let it inspire you to continue making the best content for us all!
Major congratulations on entering the luxury Swiss watches. This is a major departure for you into the luxury arena. Have many years of happiness and joy with this beautiful watch. By the way I would not trade your 33 because of the reasons that you mentioned. Keep your 33 and enjoy it
The prophecy has finally been fulfilled. It has been done.
Congratulations.
Gorgeous watch. A slippy slope trying out those high end models. I can almost hear the little voices justifying the purchase. They simply don't stop until you click 'buy now'.
Yipppeee! It’s a great watch. Congratulations!
Congrats, welcome to the world of Swiss luxury
Congratulations Jeff. Beautiful watch. Over time I’ve noticed many similarities between our watch obsessions. If it were me I would have to buy the Tudor bracelet. It’s fantastic from videos I’ve watched. You may get to that point and I say go for it. Either way, enjoy!
my daily driver. love the vinatge feel.
Congratulations, McMahon. I honestly thought you were going to get the Planet Ocean, but this was a nice surprise. Get ready to wear it like a peacock while you schlep around Costco and Trader Joe’s in your flipflops.
good for you Jeff. That's a great piece and imho still a real tool.
My God! He did it! He finally did it!
Congrats, McMahon!
That’s a terrific watch and matches your style, Bro. Looks great on that endmill bracelet, as well! 🤙🏼
It’s a great watch and I’m sure the new bracelet will be perfect .you got the taste for higher end so seemed probable you would bite . You will be accustomed to the higher end feel and this could work in your. favour as it may negate the need to continue going round in circles buying seiko and citizen .. Enjoy your watch I’m sure it suits your perfectly..
I knew that sooner or later you were going to succumb to the smooth sweep hand of a well made Swiss watch. Good for you. She got the kitchen and you got the watch! Wear it in good health and resign yourself to the fact that an Omega SPO is next. We'll stay tuned.
Congratulations McMahon beautiful watch.
Grand Seiko next 🙈. It is Seiko, which you love, but amplified to the maximum 😂 (Although, technically, it is no longer a subsidiary of Seiko Watches but of the parent company Epson Seiko Corp. because they wanted to make Grand Seiko more independent of Seiko. Whatever, business 🙈).
What a lovely watch. Yeah that endmill bracelet needs to come off does not look right.
Finally , feels good don't it ? Wear it with pride Jeff and enjoy it mate. Actually I've seen the bracelets come up quite often on eBay, I don't think they are too hard to find. That would look fab on a tan leather nato. Try one you might be pleasantly surprised.
Congrats Jeff.
Great watch. I love mine but you have to get it off that bracelet.
Welcome to the world of luxury watches Jeff.
About time , I've really enjoyed your journey over the years ,very similar to my own.
Congratulations man.
Great choice ,Planet Ocean next.
Congratulation on you watch purchase. I have my Tudor BB GMT on a strapcode jubilee and my BB58 on a strapcode oyster. I prefer the look of the strapcode bracelets over the original Tudor bracelet.
The best was Seiko has to offer is a bold statement. For me this would be SLA017, SLA025, SBDX013J, SLA033, SL037.
Hopefully it will be one you can connect with congrats nice piece
I have that exact same watch and the GMT. I love them both. I think you will too.
I love it! Better than the BB Steel, in my opinion.
Congrats!!! So glad to see u pull the trigger
I bought the 58 on bracelet last year. This year I'm going all out to try and land a sub 🤞
Just been looking on eBay UK there are loads of geniune ones for under £600. So I'd guess you would be looking at $ 600 or thereabouts. Sell one of your seikos off to get the real one maybe ?
"and he gone!!" -- little richard
My Seiko Marinemaster 300 tuna has that amazing double domed crystal that looks like a fisheye or porthole when looked at from an angle AND it says Marinemaster Professional on the dial. It’s better than the new version. 👍🏼🤣
Yes!! Congratulations my friend
Congratulations Jeffrey.
I’m kinda shocked but Not really, I don’t know how to explain it I feel like my friend has moved on and left me behind, I’m very happy for you McMahon it’s gorgeous
Monumental!
Congratulations on the BB… welcome to luxury.. in 5 years you will be like… this Daytona..😀
Congrats! You’ve crossed over to the next level of sickness. Sadly there is no going back 🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣
In ten years long after this is gone; and you are done with servicing and flipping ; you will still wear that Tuna.
Congrats on the Tudor McMahon! It’s a great looking watch. I’m glad I have the Tuna because my PO is in for a full service, $630 bucks!
Congrats, lovely watch!
Congrats!
It’s the marine master on the dial I’ll never get rid of mine for that reason they screwed up removing it for sure I wouldn’t be surprised to see them bring it back. I have to say until you see a grand seiko sport watch or even the top prospex LX line both with spring drive that’s Seiko’s best at this price point. those are truly some of the most beautifully finished watches I’ve ever seen in person even the obtainable ones make a Rolex look rudimentary and you can actually buy them for retail no games involved. I’ve heard Kevin O Leary compare his GS with a finish level equal to Patek and it’s all by hand Rolex doesn’t. I liquidated my deep sea years ago to come back to Seiko to build a mini collection of upper tier Seiko’s including a sbec001 transocean chronograph black, a black sbga229 GS ceramic diver for a steal best lume I’ve seen on a watch hands down with plenty of money to spare. I’m between a few models I’m saving up for now what was originally supposed to be a Rolex panda I can’t justify spending 35k on a stainless steel watch I’ll spend a couple extra to get a oysterflex or full white gold one but I can’t see spending that much no matter how much. Ones I have so instead I’m seriously considering a speed master, a planet ocean chronograph or other or the new Tudor panda chronograph with a breitling regulated chronometer movement Tudor next to seiko is probably one of the best value watches you can buy they are exactly what Rolex used to be. You’ve been talking about that black bay for years I’m glad you finally got it and it is everything you were hoping it would be strapcode bracelet looks pretty good I’m pretty sure the rivets are bogus on the authentic as well anyways congrats!
Congrats on your Helvetic Conversion (sounds like a Robert Ludlum thriller).
Now you can kick like Beckham and sing like Lady Gaga.
Maybe you'll climb to the next plateau and get big brother Rolex? Then you can write like Frederick Forsyth and sing like Dame Kiri te Kanawa.
Shades of John Updike’s Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom out of Rabbit Is Rich. Look at Rubber B straps for your Tudor. A bit expensive but well worth it. More comfortable than metal bracelets and aesthetically masterful which is an odd attribute for a rubber strap. I am now outfitting a second Rolex with a Rubber B strap as I prefer the look to Rolex metal bracelets. Rubber B now has straps customized for the Tudor BB. Enjoy your new watch! Tell yourself, “You are worthy of this, McMahon.”
Congrats Jeff!
This is fantastic McMahon!
Your friend Carlos sounds like a good guy, and no doubt did you a solid deal, But you NEED to get the original bracelet back dude, Carlos! WTF man!. You cant sell a child to another family and decide to keep its legs?, bracelets and heads need to be together. Even if you have to get a new one and swap that back with Carlos, DO IT! ... its bad juju to split them up! (its not an skx fellas!)
But super excited for you McMahon!, its justice, poetry. Will be even better on the right bracelet! (stop buying other junk and put it back on Tudor steel already! ... and dont dare put it on that bottle opener atrocity either! ;-) )
Ride on!
wow the lack of endlinks
Congratulations McMahon!!
I can tell Carlos is not your friend! Hahaha
Dude! You pulled the trigger! Congrats... next stop ROLEX ;)
😂, although I must admit that I like the design of the Tudor more than the newer Rolex models. One exception is the Datejust but this is a completely different category. But BlackBay vs Submariner: Definitely BlackBay. Any day 🙈
But somewhere, somehow the Omega Planet Ocean will find it's way onto your wrist buddy. That's the prophecy
Welcome to the Swiss wormhole McMahon.
I never understood the popularity of the Tutor.
Ok, you got a sweet Swiss piece. Now you're spoiled forever. Now, please keep the stock bracelet on it.
I knew you would come around…
Told you you to come to the dark side
And you did
Congratulations
Oh wait, that's not stock.
I prefer the BB to the Submariner. Nowhere to go now. Your done. Lucky man.
How much will the factory steel band set you back ?
Over 800
Ouch!!
On my calendar to see how long the honeymoon period lasts and wait for the video for your mea culpa when it gets dump on the market. All of us Rolex owners are just shaking our heads in disappointment and saying McMahon makes another mistake.
You will flip the BB at a loss then rebuy/flip/rebuy/flip etc. Get that strapcode bracelet to fuck and do it properly!!!
Did Carlos keep the MM300 that you sold him?
No, he sold it a long time ago.
@@JeffreyMcMahon Sad to hear he didn't keep it. Didn't know it was such a difficult watch to love. Has a strong following on the forums.
@@pibblesnbits He may eventually get a sapphire version.
@@JeffreyMcMahonWe all want the sapphire. It's about time Seiko brought it to the table. Enjoy the tutor in good health McMahon. I hope that it brings you some much needed peace in your collecting journey.
Still have the Great Blue Hole?
Yes, I do.
Beautiful watch... but dude, bite the bullet and purchase the Rolex Submariner black no date. You will not be disappointed.
Seiko > Tudor
Enjoy it until it sends you into another existential spiral!
Congrats!
