      Agree 100%... this is my alternative to the Submariner that looks modern and clinical.

      Obviously depending on the Watch, you're much better off putting your money into a Rolex... But guess what? A lot of people can't afford a Rolex that's actually worth putting your money into, and if they do... Well, I'm sure most watching this video know how hard it is to get the majority of what Rolex produces from an AD at Retail. And then, MANY MANY enthusiasts/collectors buy what they like with absolutely no expectation to ever sell/trade any of the pieces they acquire. Personally, I do as much research as I can on a watch I have my eye on/go check it out in person and see how it looks/fits on my wrist before I even have the money set aside to purchase it comfortably.
      But then again, tons of people are so stuck on resale resale resale they really start to lose any genuine enthusiasm for watches/watchmaking etc they may have once had

I can now say I own it, and I bought it from an AD in Paris with my son on his first trip with me to Paris to celebrate a very good trading week on vacation that more than paid for the watch. He learned about watches, we toured Paris, and I explained to him why bought it to celebrate a milestone and a special occasion and also let him know that the watch will one day be his most likely when he turns 18. Very happy overall with the purchase and my first AD purchase of a watch that was not resale or pre-owned.

    There was a growing trend for smaller watches and the obvious vintage craze. The BB58 capitalized on both in spades.
    Additionally, Rolex have been somewhat unobtanium for many people in recent years. Either they pay the massive price markup or wait for an unknown amount of time. As people give up on Rolex, Tudor becomes more appealing.

    BB58 OG became a legend right after the blue dial version came out in 2020. Prior to summer of 2020, the OG was a sleeper. Today, the BB58 OG is pinnacle of watch design and Tudor nailed it on everything except for the rivets on bracelet. The strap versions are perfect because it shows you are into the watch game and you own other heavy hitter watches. The fact they came with Silver, Bronze and Gold is very timely because of the Olympics Tokyo. Tudor knows how to capture the new watch enthusiast with these BB58 line up.
    The fact the line up is without Date, Tudor made it true to heritage.
    Rolex can learn countless things from Tudor.

    I tried this on the other day, and found it a tad small for my wrist/size. I only tried it on the fabric strap though, and the sales person indicated it does wear slightly bigger on bracelet. I put on the black 41mm BB diver on bracelet, and that one was just as thick as people say! Absolutely great diameter for my wrist though. The 42mm Pelagos wore like a dream, despite not being all that thin. Maybe it was the Titanium that made it seem smaller, but I'm in love with that thing.

      Same thing happened to me. BB58 on strap, a bit small, even on bracelet. BB 41 on bracelet, a bit large.
      Switch it and magic: the BB 41 on leather strap: PERFECT!

    I love the 925 Silver, but finally fell for the hype after your video on the Bronze Blue. That darker blue is just a perfect match for the bronze case…neither of which would I have thought I would have liked. You can’t say that Tudor doesn’t at least try to make a BB for everyone.

    My OG bb58 is never leaving my collection.
    It’s as close to perfection on the wrist as it gets, plus I love the color combo. The red triangle mixed with warm colors….it’s near perfect imo.
    Side note: I love the blue as well. But it’s not more versatile than the black. Also not sure if the blue has more “mass appeal” either….Sry teddy

    I'm very lucky to own two brand new Tudor BB 58s. Like-for-like think of the Blue BB58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. But after watching some of your helpful videos, plus many others, I succumbed and I have just purchased a new BB58 Black version in late Dec 21 from my AD at retail - there is no shortage of them in the UK these days.
    I do, and still love the blue, it's magnificent, but I have also grown to adore the warmer, more vintage appeal that the black version exudes, not to mention the ever-so-slightly darker shade of steel Tudor has cleverly used to add further differentiation. Maybe owning two identically-made watches with the exact same specs is crazy, but hey it's Christmas after all !

  • @ZFerguson
    @ZFerguson 3 года назад +15

    I've owned the original black BB58 for around 18 months now and love it. Two points I wish were improved upon:
    1. It needs an easy link extension, so hopefully the new mechanism on the bronze model will follow throughout the range. I also own the new 124270 explorer and the ability to extend the bracelet by 5mm in hot weather etc. Is extremely useful.
    2. I wish the bezel was a 120 click rather than 60. I use the bezel timer frequently and the 60 click iteration is not accurate enough in my opinion.
    Still love it though! Beautiful watch. 🙂⌚

    • @melody3741

    Despite that, l still hanker after the original BB58 and having just sold my Omega Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich, if Tudor updates the BB58 with the new T-fit clasp this will be added to my collection.
