Just did an eBay quartz watch search with the ending soonest filter and saw this Grant Brown with 1 bid and 6 minutes to go. No time to research but I won it for $19.50 including shipping so it's ok I think it is about an $80 watch but sold out on the Grant Brown website.

For some unknown reason I just had to order this from Amazon, I mean I do like the lume and the removable lug bars something not seen on other Bertucci models. The unique date subdial is something I want to see in person as well. So again.....happy father's day.

No regrets on spending $19.50 for this one as it turns out to be much nicer than expected. Sometimes you win!

Since the case is aluminum, how do you avoid/minimize getting scratches and dings? It’s a really nice looking watch; but I think I would end up babying it because of the softness of the case.
It is hard anodized not bare aluminum.

The A-6A Experior™ 40 mm Unibody™ case is made from light weight durable anodized aluminum. This innovative U.S. Patented design is clean and functional… creating a modern classic feel that can only come from Bertucci®. Versatile, professional styling... well suited for life’s day to day endeavors. Precision movement, long lasting B-Type nylon band, 4 year battery and 100 M water resistance.

Favorite watch. Even more so than my 126600. First production ETA version only produced for 13 months in the black bezel

I wish Tudor would bring back the rose logo and smiley face dial to their new watches, those are the most beautiful Black Bays.
