Picked up the BB36 early 2019, I think the 58 was still hard to come by back then but the AD had one come in that morning and offered for me to purchase it. I end up going with the 36 as intended and I'm so glad I did, IMO it has more charm and can do it all from sunny beach days to grey funerals.
I found your channel through your review of the Christopher Ward c60 300 and your content is really helpful, since my wrist size is exactly the same as yours. Keep them coming !!
Glare is less of an issue on the BB58 because of the domed sapphire. Even a very slight dome helps in this regard, and I would have preferred such on the BB36 too. Both great watches though. I was obsessed with 58 for sometime, but now leaning more towards the 36 as my two Seiko 62MAS reinterpretations (SPB143 and SPB147) have scratched the vintage skin diver itch for me.
Interesting comparison. I own several Tudors, including the BB58 in both blue and black/gilt dials. The 36 is way too small for my personal taste and 7 inch wrist. May I suggest trying a traditional bracelet/strap tool that you can get for just a few pounds. With practice it's easy peasy, you won't scratch anything and you would have saved £120 on that completely unnecessary device.
I have a BB36 blue dial, you can wear it with anything, in any situation, other than black tie. I went with a BBB/B for strictly casual or beach days, to shake things up. I have considered the BB58 but the Planet Ocean 39 is more compelling to me. Edit: totally agree, I am unable to remove the bracelet. I have to use a jeweler each winter, so I can rock a more comfortable leather strap for cold weather.
So sorry for the late reply I was on a break! That’s a great choice and I’ve actually just got hold of the newest version so I’ll be doing a review soon. You’re right about it being a GADA watch too! 🙏👍
Great video, and considering these two at present with a similar wrist size! So which do you prefer? 😁. Look forward to more content from you - subscribed. Thanks.

Totally agree mate! More charm and much more versatile like you say, good choice 👍
Can you remember how much it was back in 2019?

Brilliant and thank you mate 🙏👍
The C60 video brought me here as another has indicated and I stuck around because of your calm and thorough analysis. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the great feeling friend much appreciated 👍
Same here. My 38mm black c60 arrived and loving it. I'm now thinking about a white 36mm C63 Sealander. Very happy with Christopher Ward
Good stuff! Yeah I should maybe think about having a white one myself as I’ll have both black! 😊
Thanks for the video. Just a minor suggestion to use a microfiber cloth to clean the watches before you film. 👍
🙏👍

Yes sorry I should have mentioned that ! 🙏👍
Domed crystals produce much worse glare than flat crystals
Nice one mate, keep the videos coming. This was a very useful comparison and well presented.
Thanks for the great feedback mate! 👍

Thanks for the tip my friend. I do have a few cheap tools but maybe I just need to practice 😊👍

It fits perfectly on my 6-3/4 inch wrist and I Love it! It’s my favourite watch in the collection and for me it’s the only watch you need!
That’s great. Sorry for the late reply I’ve been on a break. Are you talking about the bb36? 🙏👍
@@Time_and_time_again yes that’s him BB36, still very happy and in love with it.
@@marcoferay5751 perfect 🙏👍
Due to my skinny wrist It was a toss up between the 36 and the bb58. Ended up with the 58 blue and have to say I'm not sorry. It's a cracking watch.
Don’t think you can go wrong with either but a blue 58 is a wonderful choice! 👍
Another great video my man 👏
Thank you mate! 🙏👍
Great video. Many thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thank you 🙏
Great comparison! Will you be doing a CW and The BB 36 comparison in the future?
Thank you. I’m not sure really as I’ve decided to be a one watch guy now! I’ll update on my next video 😊👍
Great video, and considering these two at present with a similar wrist size! So which do you prefer? 😁. Look forward to more content from you - subscribed. Thanks.
Thank you! It’s a really tough choice to be honest 😊 If I did have to choose one over the other I think I was choose the bb36! Hope that helps 😊👍
Thanks for the reply, leaning that way too! Or the Tank de Must Cartier 😉
Another great choice for the slender wrist!
@Time and time again what material i the black part on the BB36 next to the crown?
Hi, I’m not sure tbh. I’ve seen it referred to as a crown tube but not sure if it’s metal or not 👍
Hi Alan, subscribed. 🙂
Hi there, thank you! 🙏👍
No AR coating, even on the underside?? That's surprising.
As far as I’m aware 👍
Are the clasps the same size?
Great question! Don’t have them at hand now though sorry so I’m not too sure. I know they both felt in proportion with the watch and bracelet though 👍
The BB36 is the perfect size for your 6.25" wrist.
Yes I think so mate 🙏👍
Great video thank you, but now I just want them both. 😢. I have divers I think the black bay 36 will be my 1st go round with Tudor.
Thanks mate and yes it’s a tough call. I actually have a bb36 for sale on eBay at the moment 😊👍
Another great video! Did you let go of the BB58? Thinking twice of getting a BB36 because I already have a 556i and it might get redundant.
Thank you! I still have both at the minute and also have the sinn 556 😊 really hard to make a decision lol
Are they different enough to own both or to similar ?
Different enough to own both 100% 😊👍
What is your wrist size?
6.25” 😊👍
BB36 is really good on your wrist. The other is is a liitle bit bigger but it's okay
@@Michaelsimeon333 yeah I think the bb36 definitely suits better mate thanks 🙏👍
What song is in the intro?
That’s a little song I wrote for the channel 😊👍
@@Time_and_time_again No way. Did you release the whole thing?
@@samuelaesop no mate it was just a little one for the purpose of the watch videos 😊 Could maybe do that int he future though 🙏👍
Have 18cm 7 inch wrist can't decide with which one to go 😒
I’d imagine the 58 would be better suited but it’s all personal preference 😊🙏👍
@@Time_and_time_again thank you saving for it🙏
Get both
You paid £120 for a strap removal tool?!
Yeah! I know! 😂👍
