Black Bay 36 (blue dial) ref. M79500-0004

Up for sale is the celebrated Black Bay 36 (blue). Released at a time when everyone seemed to be focussed on the the dive watch varieties from the Black Bay lineup, this watch initially flew under the radar. But in recent years, I'm happy to see this great piece get the attention it deserves. 

It's simple, it's functional, it's reliable...and with it's muted blue dial, this Black Bay 36 really sings, and is perfect for everyday wear. And at this price, it's hard to deny the straight up value of this offering from one of my favourite watch brands of all time. 

CONDITION REPORT

This watch comes complete with its original box (inner and outer), warranty booklet, brand booklet, hang-tag, and warranty card (dated Jan 27, 2021). The watch is fitted for a 6.5 inch wrist, but comes with two additional links should one want to extend the bracelet for a larger wrist. 

The watch is in overall excellent condition, showing light wear around the case and bracelet due to regular wear. There are no major scratches or nicks on the watch to speak of, aside from some normal surface wear, and an extremely small (almost not visible) nick on the lower right hand side of the bezel.
