Just took this shot, and it sums up all the reasons I love this reference, and mine in particular. Domed plexi, matte dial, eggshell patina, chunky yet elegant case, rattly yet ultra-comfortable 9315 bracelet, and silver date wheel. Mine is far from the most amazing example of the 1665, but that just means I can wear it and not have to worry about it.

Takes a bit if the sting off, I would say, yes! Happy birthday to you and Congratulations!

Yes! The many changes (and I think variations) were throwing me in trying to date it.

I have noticed the insane prices of the Tudor Black Bays that are being sold on this forum and else where.

Nice!!!

Have you asked your mother?

I have the same size wrist, and while I love the 7-day, it just wears too chunky for my wrist, at least for my taste. Plus, as much as I love the silver dial with blue on the 7-day, I have a pet peeve against contrasting bright white date windows that interrupt the warmth of silver dials.
