4 weeks on the wrist and I'm still watching reviews of this watch
8 months here...
4 days here, AD pulled through and I managed to snag up a bracelet spec in under 2 weeks. It’s just as handsome as my Rolex’s, I love it
im so sold on this watch
You won't regret it mate.
@@Wsg899 Yeah I live in stockholm sweden, my friend waited 1 year in the que to buy it. How long would you think it would take to grab one? I want it asap
This is the best youtube intro i have ever seen. I came back years later just to see it again.
The BB58 is awesome. It's basically a vintage Rolex Submariner with new hardware.
TBH Rolex rested on their laurels for decades while Tudor and everyone else eclipsed them.
Just bought BB58 Navy Blue, thanks for the outstanding channel and honest opinions.
I think this is the point. I CHOOSE Tudor. Not because it’s all I can afford or can get hold of. I CHOOSE it. I like it more irrespective of price.
Yep! But tell that to someone who‘s a „there is only Rolex“ guy....
I got rolex first but still wanting a tudor, it's not price of the tudor, it's the respect and subtlety of the brand.
@@markgabrielzamora9044 I think that’s right. There is stuff to enjoy with both brands in the collection. The “cut price Rolex” label for Tudor is a very dated idea.
Perfect timing. It's saved me from watching Strictly on BBC1 with the wife. Before even watching I know this will be superb content. Wife actually has a Tudor as a daily beater and loves the brand.
Strictly isn't the same without Brucey! Haven't watched since he passed - just not fun anymore.
I like that Tudor flies under the radar, a watch you can wear without worrying about getting mugged for it.
In london you will, oh trust me you'll be held at knife, hammer point before you know it.
The muggers would probably mistake it for a submariner anyway 😂
@JRVCA You will need a lot more than another $3K to get a sub.
A colleague estimated the price of it around 100€🤪
Unless it gets mistaken for a submariner
Love that story about that guy in the club. I have a friend that is very similar to how you described him, and with unique artsy style tattoos. The BB58 is the only watch he owns. It just works
As a watch collector I am drawn to your channel for the pure down to earth reviews. Your dedication to the craft is amazing. Your videos bring a vintage warmth to so many things throughout life. Well done. Keep up the great content.
To me the fifty eight provides the perfect proportions and weight. Sold my 41mm to get the 39mm. It's definitely a keeper for me. I also agree with your take on it. The Tudor is the jeans and t shirt, no frills watch. No pretense and does the job it's meant to do.
By far the best review I've seen about BB58 to date. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I sold my OG BB58 for all the same reasons you've mentioned. Thank you for a great video.
I’m a big fan of your channel Oisín.
Your reviews,insights and wonderful tours are second to none.
Thank you.
Once again great review. As mentioned, there is nothing wrong with owning a Tudor. It is a beautiful watch with big brother history.
Honest, sincere, favourable, loving and lavishly illustrated review ! Time is always well spent in your company !
I bought one, and resold it. It was great, just wasn't so sure I would be happy for very long. Now I want to rebuy it 🤣
So, I picked up this watch just about one year ago now. My reason for getting it was more nostalgic… Back in the mid 90s I purchased a brand new Tudor Submariner 40mm for the whopping sum of $940 US. I had it for a couple years then I traded it towards a 1997 two tone bluesy, which I still own to this day. Although I love the Rolex, I always regretted getting rid of that Tudor Sub. So, the BB58 blue comes pretty close to the sub I had all those years ago, and (I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing!) but I was able to get the new Tudor for half of what the vintage subs like mine are selling for. So far, I am very happy with it!
Great review. I just bought the blue BB58 as my first luxury watch. I was finding it hard to decide between the blue and black, but I find the blue a little more versatile for my style and less showy. Really pleased with the purchase
I recently fall in love with my Black Bay Steel when I took bracelet off and wearing that beauty on olive NATO .... tudor did some good job during last few years ... nice blue bay ... I did consider swop until Steel got NATO on ...
Quality of the videos is absolutely unbelievable how you can capture all those details. Love it
Glad you softened your view on BB58. I am a Canadian watch collector and traveler, I love Rolex and Venice !! My local AD carries Rolex and Tudor. Last year he invited me to look at the BB58, like you, I didn't think much of Tudor or the offer until I had it on my wrist - I bought it on the spot. I love my Blue Yacht-Master and Submariner but this is different in an odd way that I cant explain.
I truly enjoy your videos, they bring back so many memories in Italy and for that I thank you.
Really enjoyed this review. Your descriptions and observations are a lot more evocative than many other reviewers - no one else I have watched would use the term ‘Winter colours’ to describe a dial, but your spot on! Plus the observation about the hands catching the light before the dial is also something others would miss, or not think to mention; I just sold a watch for exactly that reason - I would struggle to read the time at a glance in shadow or shade....
You are winning me over more with every video and I wish the channel tons of success. All the best to you✌️
I see very big things in your future. You do really high quality productions. I am glad I knew you before you get a big head like other watch channels.
I very much enjoy your channel. (The real one, not the fake copies). Unique idea. Thanks for the kind words.
Dude, that shot of the Omega where the light reflects off the hands and the dial remained "blacked out", amazing stuff. Thank you, I am now in the market for a vintage, wave dial Omega...like I really needed another reason. Who knows, I may even check out a Black Bay (but I genuinely dislike the faux rivets). Stay well and keep up the great content.
You are officially my favourite new watch guy on youtube. Your ability to tell a story, and comment on the nuances the other guy miss is engaging. Most other reviewers read from the same template or script, gets old.
The snowflake is one of the aspects that drew me to Tudor in the first place, I am glad it doesn't have something ubiquitous like a Mercedes. I agree with some other commenters that the indicators would also look better squared, but perhaps that is what the Pelagos is for...
Love the classic simplicity of this watch. It's on the smaller side for me but wears.so well. Easy everyday wear the you can dress up or down.
03:45 blur zoom shot with rolex AD in background is sooooo epic
wow .. went back to the vid to see it... truly superb
I like very much how your story. The way how you expressed your honest opinion about it is very very elegant . You are a true diplomat. Cheers
I don’t know why there are these “camps” for the watch brands...I have 2 subs, a Pelagos, a couple old Tags, a Zenith Defy and a SMP 300. I enjoy them all and they each offer something different. I’d like to add a Lange and a Patek or 2 to complete things for me. I haven’t found an end all, be all watch and I doubt I ever will as long as there are so many cool timepieces out there.
It’s certainly a beauty. Better than any Omega, and none of Omega’s QC problems.
People make out watch owning is some game of thrones type shit where we all have to pick a brand and declare war on all other brands. Very strange. Imagine only wearing Wrangler jeans and writing disparaging comments on videos of anyone who mentions Levi’s 😂 “people only wear Levi’s because they want everyone to see the red tab- Levi’s are for people who care what other people think”
I feel you and I agree. But this is not surprising as much of human nature is tribalism. They feel emotionally connected to what they have and feel the need to prop up its legitimacy. I try to not do that anymore. My fav watch is my Tudor GMT but I’m hoping to add a panerai.
@@manuel_winde 😂😂 love the examples
Lol , there are camps for other brands too. Like tag, you just mentioned "..a couple old tags" because you see it as a brand that brings a lot of divisiveness into the community, you didn't want to be seen as one who just bought one recently, but more so hey you've matured and moved on from tag. But hey I got a couple old tags.
Turned 40 a month ago, what better way to celebrate than to buy a Rolex!
Nope, none available, mile long waitlist.
Long story short, picked up this same watch and love it, now I don’t really care if I get called for a Rolex.
Being a fan of Tudor (I love my BB36) as well as a guitar player, I totally get what you mean about the feeling that Tudor is like the equivalent to a Japanese Reissue Fender. I understand this was not a knock. That said, recall that there was a time when the reissue Strats and Teles made in Japan were actually better than/on par the reissues Fender was making in the US. I’d be so bold as to say the same thing is happening with Tudor, re: Rolex. Of course, given the choice, I’d take an American Reissue 57 Strat over a Japanese reissue. But I’d still love playing the Japanese reissue because I know how good it plays. Likewise, I’d take. Rolex GMT over a Tudor...but if I had to have the Tudor, I would still get much enjoyment out of it.
Anyhow...big fan of the channel. Keep doing what you do. It is appreciated.
This channel just keeps getting better and better man. You have been my favorite watch channel for almost a year now. Keep up the great work!
@@vianouche1 lol re read my comment again, I said nothing about this video making the channel better. But it is my opinion that this channel has just gotten better since I’ve started watching hence “ for almost a year now” lol
I think this video makes the channel better.
@@edwardo737 me too lol
Agreed.
Great review and beautiful photography as usual. Love at 2:35 that special play with the dancing light.
My wife just got me the black back 58 blue. I have some other pieces and this watch is my favorite in my collection. She picked a good one.
Awesome video as usual. Excellent use of matching "Fill" colour on the text boxes, when telling us dimensions. I like the hands on my Tudor Glamour much more. It is an underknown (underappreciated) and awesome watch.
I could watch your cinematography all day! Great review as well - real world information like the hands catching the light!
I have the original BB 58 and multiple Rolexes. For some reason, nothing feels like the BB58. The weight and proportions are JUST RIGHT! ❤️
I do not consider Tudor a second brand after Rolex either. It is just a different watch in a lot of different aspects. I bought a Tudor after I bought a Rolex. Great video!
Great video - incredibly beautiful photographic impressions of the wristwatch and the surrounding landscape, never seen before this way - Venice at it's best! This is really art - keep on producing ...
10:38 Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Great pictures from Venice again. Makes my Sunday morning! As for the watch: if I don‘t want a Rolex and on purpose buy something else of great quality, it would be an Omega. I hear your story about the film guy, but I still see Tudor as the more available and cheaper Rolex.
Bought and flipped this piece, not a day goes by where I don't think about buying it back. Beautiful watch and great video!
I have a new one, want to buy it?
Yessssss....great Saturday. Glass of red and my man!!!
Haha same here in Ireland. What part of the world you in.
King Prince just outside London. Hope Ireland 🇮🇪 is doing ok ?
Can't make my mind up on this watch. I think I prefer the black version. Great review though, thanks.
Looks smashing. Your photos make it really pop! Dammit, now I want one!
I have a Rolex and love it. I bought a BB58 last year because I liked how it looked more than what Rolex are currently making - so very pleased to hear you saying (#06:00) "It's not a compromise". Great watch. Your blue one looks great too, but I couldn't justify owning two BB58s! I'd love a blue diver, so it'd have to be that Omega of yours for my lineup.
Agree about those awful faux rivets - that's why I bought my black BB58 on the leather strap instead. I like the snowflake hands, but I'd have preferred if Tudor had made the indices square as well, like on the Pelagos.
Great watch, I was in the market for my first watch. Was on the waiting list for a Rolex sub but found the case too beefy.. also did not like how it was so shinny. started looking at a vintage Rolex model with smaller case size but was on the fence to buy a vintage sub for everyday wear.. once I saw the BB58 loved the vintage feel/look. Really gives me that vintage Rolex sub feel that I can wear daily. Love it! 👍👍
Love the reviews that are the foundation of this channel for me .. great content as per 👍
Cracking content. Loved the narrative, humour and thoughts on the Tudor (cherry). Definitely going to have a look at probably the 925 version and see how that fits on my wrist.
Your review is really spot on. I own a BB58 black which for my 61/4 inch wrist is just perfect, but I agree with you that for larger wrists it might be a little too "under the radar".
PS: thanks for showing the beauties of my country in your videos.
Got to be the best RUclips channel by a mile - Thanks Mate.
Every time when I listen to the classical music intro it gives me chills , FANTASTIC SIR 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🛩️🛩️ Reminds of AMADEUS MOZART 1984 , timeless movie ♥️
I had the chance (and took it) to pick the Watch up for a steal today.
Never really interested me but now I have it …. I do really like and it’s very comfy.
And of course as soon as I got one I needed to validate my choice so watched your film on it 🤣
This watch is a serious contender to be my next watch and also my seventh Tudor 😂 I know ,
Great review , love the photography
I admire your intro. Music and photos. Very classy and impressive..
Agree it fits my 7” wrist just fine with that wingspan. It’s my first so I don’t have any other Tudor to compare it to. The blue is great! And the power reserve is top shelf. I may not have to wind this one in the rotation. It will be the only one I can say that for sadly. First world problems all the way here. Cheers
I’ve got seven tudors but this does seem small on a 7 inch wrist, so glad you put a Tudor on the channel just wish it was something else of theirs.
Great video and keep up the stunning videos it’s keeping me sane. 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🏴
Just bought mine today. Gets delivered tomorrow. Bought new at list. Cant wait. And personally you can’t go wrong with a good Malbec.
Totally agree. I could easily afford a Rolex sub but I prefer the Tudor brand and bought a bb 58. The brand is much braver and creative in my opinion. Very much a test bed for Rolex I think where they are on the safe side.
Absolutely a stunning watch, another great video. Keep up the great work 👍
Great watch review. Great dude description! Love your content, and the beautiful background views!
Those shiny hands in low light is a diver function - for vislibity under water!
Great video, great production, great backgrounds. I like how you showed the watch measurements. This is the first video of yours i have seen. Not sure how I missed it after seeing so many watch channels.
Can't make my mind up on this watch. I think I prefer the black version. Great review though, thanks.
black one looks way cooler than this blue
I bought the black version a couple of weeks ago - and just love it ))
Yes I went with the original black. I liked the more vintage look of the rose gold tint.
I have lots of blue in my collection already, so I went with the black. Love the guilt. There is just something that is extra special about it. I know a watch is striking all the right boxes when owning it slows down my watch group scrolling and new watch lusting.
I felt the same way, then I bought both! I made the black version my daily wear. My Rolex and Omega(s) have been in my safe since I purchased the BB58. I bought it and wear it because I like it, period end of story-no consolation, just love the weight, size, and appeal of the watch.
Very nice oisin, I popped my own cherry got the pelagos blue dial and wow. Very similar yet a tweak of difference. The colour of bezel and dial took me few days to really get use to it. I love it. I know it isn't the black bay 58 but I don't like a watch that has no date function. Why I chose pelagos over 58. I'm happy as Larry to own it n the titanium and blue is stunning in all shades of the day. Still can't believe I had to wear my hulk for two mths while visiting the store near by. Such an up yourself attitude some dealers can have, (stuck up) wanna be rich assholes dress up like business men n look down on hard workers. I'm a concrete by day I like to look good n if I can afford to buy it who makes them the boss of what watch I can wear. I care not what others have although I can admire ppl such as yourself n Paul Thorpe without criticising. I love your vids keep em coming. Big G'day m8 from down under. Talk soon
Spot on review at one of my favorite spots on the globe.
it is a gorgeous watch but i wish more companies would use open back cases and show the engine at work.
That’s why you buy the seamaster instead :)
It looks so out of place on a dive watch. They do it on the Seamaster and it's not even a good looking movement, it's so gimmicky
See through case backs are well naff 👎
This is the best watch channel out there. Full stop.
Great review but I find myself watching all your videos because they are more than reviews. Great videography, pictures, perspectives even music choice. Your videos not only interest me but they chill me out! Keep up the great work
I think you’ll find your Seadweller and Submariner turn clockwise and anti clockwise to set the time unlike Rolex clockwise as you said. Great video again. Thanks
Great video, Ive tried the blue and black last week and I think I’m heading towards the blue. Thanks for helping me make my mind up
Absolutely love your channel man, one of the best. You have to figure out how to do more of the watches in movies videos. I absolutely love them!!!
I love this watch, I got it on the leather strap. Excellent honest review 👍🏻
Great review. I got this watch in August. Paid rrp. Have smaller wrists so it looks and feels great on. Scratched the diver itch I had without the silly Rolex price or the ugly magnified date window not to mention no helium escape valve too! Nice to see Tudor get some love. Seems to be in and out of availability but not worth the silly money being sought on the grey market. A very solid watch for the price. My daily wear and gives the Aqua Terra a break. Thanks again.
Interesting, I too share most of your opinions on the watch. When it came out and all the hype was going on I stopped by my AD to see what the fuss was about. They had one that was already sold. Because of my relation with them they assured me they could get me one. While I was looking at it I spotted another Blue Tudor in the case, a Pelagous. I tried it on and walked out with it on my wrist. bigger bolder Diver in Titanium just love it.
Thank you. I have wanted you to take a look at Tudor. You said that you don't like the snowflake hands, I have the same problem with the hands of the rolex. I just love the angular design of the Tudor hands.
Wonderful review! Loved it! Great seeing the different views of Venice too.
Thanks, great review as always. Surprising choice. ☘️
Wonderful honest video! I completely get the hype over this watch, but each time I try on the BB58 series I run into the same sentiment that you bring out. Bezel feel hard to grip and turn, smaller watch feel. I guess my expectation of a dive watch stems from a sub or fifty fathoms so the comparison is not apples to apples. Good solid watch. Just not for the collection. Glad to see everyone excited about it though.
Beautiful photography and location. 👍🇬🇧
Sitting watching this in Belfast Oisin and mildly jealous of your surroundings - Another great video 👍
Props for the honest intro lol. Nice watch. Think people who not really knows watches disregards Tudor, but the ones in the knows the quality and history.
These watches are definitely growing on me.
Artistically perceptive. Bravo Maestro 👍👍
Been wanting to check out Tudor for a while now. Great video!
Yet another quality review my friend. Great vid 👍🇬🇧
This is a nice watch.Was waiting 2 years for the blue to come out but when it did I still prefer the black. I think they should have included the red triangle lume pip to give it some contrast.
another great vid , your the coolest guy on YOU TUBE,,
So pleased with my 58 OG I politely declined the offer last week to buy a YM platinum 40 from my AD.A lovely piece of jewelry but would not have the occasion to wear it.Investing the fund into an antique English pocket watch.
Very true, not all us want a Rolex. I have a black Pelagos 5 liner and I couldn’t be happier. Surf/dive/travel with it, and on a NATO know one knows what it is. Very handy on a bus in a third world country! Tudor now makes a true tool watch for those of us who need one.
I like the quirky hour hand and one thing for certain is you'll always know that it's the hour hand despite poor lighting conditions,It's a nice vintage side step from your favourite watch brand.................................
Just watched the first 50 seconds and you had me hooked with the Zoolander reference 🤣 another great video...damn it....
I own the Tudor heritage chronograph with the ETA movement great watch which I wear everyday scratches in places too !
Not too keen on the black bay range to be honest. I do like the GMT with leather strap that I might purchase in the new year thou.
Great vid as always.
Seriously considering one of these for my next pick up!
I didn’t love the snowflake hands at first either. But. The snowflake hands aren’t about elegance, they are about legibility - the BB series are tool watches. I have a BB36, and it is the ultimate motorcycling watch - I can tell time at a 90 MPH at a glance, and you don’t want to be fiddling with the angle at that or really at any speed over 50. I just expose my wrist, flick my eyes down, and done. It’s really satisfying. Over time I’ve come to appreciate the snowflake, and the watch overall, and I’m just in love with it. I miss the lack of a date function at times, but the clean dial is totally worth it. The BB58 is next but I can’t decide between blue or black gilt.
Great brand with amazing collection
15:37 with the blue accents on the boat... well played
I’m with you… I couldn’t stand the hype surrounding the Blue Bay but it looks damn good on your wrist.
I like it. It is very authentic to me.
By the way, another RUclipsr brought this up; it's more the width than the circumference of your wrist that counts.
Nice review. I've had this watch on my radar since it came out, I feel the first version, black with guilt is more my speed. I'm wearing a no date watch now to if i can handle a watch with no date, it's been rough so far...but i like the brand, history, and certainly the size, 39mm is a sweet spot. The hype has me concerned with pricing, i'm not one to pay extra for admission to the fan club.
Oh man it’s best review I see 👏👏👏 I’m not kidding it’s really best 👍so cute correctly true... 👌 thanks for a beautiful staff you do here. All the best and enjoy what you do 🤝
