8:02 Conclusion
This is absolutely, hands down, the most beautiful watch Tudor has ever released. It is my next Tudor, without a doubt. Home run.
I dream of it men....It feels like getting the original pepsi but in a modern package
🤣
🤣
Completely agree. 100% next watch
This is my grail watch. Instead of buying another microbrand, I'm saving for this model.
Don't buy new, so many of these end up on the used market it's crazy. Tudor GMTs are the BMW Mini of the watch world. People want them but move them on quick.
@jabezhane definitely buying used. Plenty in excellent condition are or will be available. Thanks for the advice!
I’m in the same boat. Love a good micro brand and the value they offer, but I’m pretty blown away by this Tudor. Hopefully we can get a good price next year
@@jabezhane I agree with this. They are great watches but Rangers and BB58s now are being sold $1000 off retail. I will be in the market for this GMT next year and I hope the prices are decent by then.
Literally in the same boat no more. Micro brands I’m saving up for this
Probably my favorite Tudor by far along with the new BB monochrome sub
….bought myself another Tudor, the BB Monochrome and it’s simply stunning… 🤩
I wish they made the BB monochrome in the 39mm dimensions, or a BB58 with the monochrome colorway. I'd snag that immediately.
Dr pepper seems more fitting for this one
Dr Pepper has no gold accenting. This is clearly a caffeine free coke.
@@PocketUau a TRUE connoisseur here lol
Agreed, especially being a brand that gets second-billing like Tudor itself 👍
Dr Pepper is mostly unknown, at least in Europe. Thank god!
@@marquisdaily7715 It's pretty big in The Netherlands. Has been for a while.
I purchased the watch a week and a half ago on the rubber strap and have been loving it - especially the comfort, case size and thickness on my 6.5” wrist. I was not sure about the gilt highlights in online images but really liked the look in person.
Fyi, Ivisited the new Tudor Boutique in Barcelona on vacation, which David Beckham reportedly visited for its grand opening a few weeks prior and signed his advertisement poster on the boutique wall. I was able to buy their only one in inventory (right from the display case), which had been delivered earlier that afternoon. I’m not sure about what the boutique had in mind (whether they had a waiting list or anticipated offering the piece to favorite local customers), but after my brother and I looked through the cases, noting which models were my favorites, and I expressed excitement to see the BB58 GMT in person for the first time time and to try on, the salesperson remarked about my passion for the brand - exhibited by the Ranger on my wrist, which was my only Tudor and by luck the only watch I had brought on vacation, not even knowing that a Tudor boutique existed there - and said that if I really would like to buy it, she could ask her manager if I could buy it right there and then.
Awesome
This on a 5 link bracelet would be 🔥.
If one day they decide to release the 5-link bracelet, I would buy it immediately!
I agree I think that's the missing link... excuse the pun
Just picked up a Tudor Black Bay Pro from my local AD, but they had a Tudor BB58 GMT in the store and allowed me to look at it and handle it. Wow, what a stunner from Tudor. Not enough there to dissuade me from my purchase of the BB Pro, but a really well executed watch with great color way in the BB58 GMT.
I have this watch. In person the gilt on the hands and bezel has an almost red gold tone. Gives it a lovely warmth which fits with the retro vibe. I personally like the colourway - it stands out in a sea of pepsi watches and dresses it up slightly. Stunning purchase. Thanks for the review Teddy!
Does the gilt look better than the other 58s? It’s my only complaint with any of them
Have the watch too and I agree. The gold/gilt matches the dark red bezel. Earthy and warm.
I think the gold is rose on all the gilt BBs
I have this watch and the regular BB58. It looks similar, but it’s quite different if you look closely. The hands, hour markers and crown are smaller. The metal has a lighter color than the BB58 gilt version and the bezel has a gloss finish instead of matte, which makes it more elegant. T-fit clasp is a nice upgrade too! I can really recommend trying this one at an AD.
I just bought one and I'm in love with it! It looks far better in person!
Never mind the soft drink names. This has a superhero watch, as in Hulk, Batman. This is the Iron Man
Ohhh I like that 👍
Finally picked up a 58 in blue - love it! This one looks amazing.
Congrats
tudor over its big brother anyday
Ceramic over Aluminium anyday ; )
@@wristopia4101aluminum has way more character. Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hell no lmao
San Martin over Tudor anyday
@ragr5133 SM is great quality too. I have them
I have had the watch for 2 months now and very much enjoy it. With the rubber strap, it can be worn casual or dress. Very comparable to my GMT Master Pepsi and Sprite at half the cost. My favorite Tudor by far and own several to compare.
In Singapore, Tudor is increasingly popular among young working adults as they remain ''affordable'' and of cos the brand's marketing prowess is certainly doing a good job too. It reminds me of Tag where they went all out to woo the young working class market in the past when social media was close to zero.
just got my BB GMT 58 today ..... absolutely love the retro vibe
People hate the gilt but that’s my favorite part!!
The black bay pro in this format would be a winner
I bought a watch from amzwatch lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
I have the METAS certified Black Bay 41 with the red bezel and the 5 link “jubilee” bracelet. Awesome watch.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Waiting for Tudor to make a white dial with Pepsi bezel and silver hands. Plus they should make a thinner version of BB pro as well now.
I would like to see this in a root beer configuration eventually.
I think the colors are fantastic.
What a beauty! I like that GMT hand. The length is perfect, and I really like the bezel color, fantastic. For me, instead of caffeine free coke bezel, I like Dr. Pepper bezel. Stunning watch. I've always liked the Tudor BB series of watches. Just never enough to pull the trigger. Too many gorgeous micro brands out there. I'm talking about you Wise. Good video, thanks
I’ve been eyeing this one for weeks, purchased a Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 2 days ago and then stumbled onto this one in stock at another AD. I wanted to buy it on the spot, but had to have a little discipline. The more I see it and know where one is the more I keep telling myself just go get it.😅
Just hope as a bigger 'wristlet' they put this engine in 41mm and slim that height down (although not a deal breaker)!
looks amazing.
check the price: 😫
Great look. Only thing missing is a bezel / accent on the date window and perhaps make the window bigger
tudor over its big brother anyday.
Bot 🤔😏
Cope
I was very excited to get this one, tried it at an AD my wrist is on the large side. The regular BB58 fits nicely but this one sit akwardly on top of the wrist due to the curve and thickness. And looked quite small. Ended up not buying it. I defintely recommend to try it in person.
Stuck between this one and the Tudor black bay ceramic! Both are unreal looking watches
I like the watch I got from amzwatch. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
Whens the teddy Bulbasaur collab watch??
I really want this watch but 41
Teddy, thank you for another great review. I have 2 Tudor 41 mm BB watches, the original GMT in Stainless and the original Chrono in Stainless. I have a rather large wrist such that the 41 mm (and even watches up to 43 mm) watches wear comfortably on my wrist if the Stainless Bracelet is expanded as far as it can go . So, and at least for me, 39 mm watches that wore well in my youth get lost on wrist today and actually it no longer looks appropriate. I am happy for those that can wear the 39 mm size, but hope that Tudor remembers that 41 mm is the watch width that revived it from obscurity and hope, like its sister company, that a 42 mm or even a 43 mm width watch would likely be a hit.
Love my P39.
Oh damn, nice work Teddy, you fixed the lighting so the watch actually looks like it does IRL! I had complained about that on your previous videos. Fantastic job!!!
Yeah, I saw a Tudor Black Bay irl and I was startled at how much better it looked than all the photos I saw. That thing was stunning.
Need to be able to get it on that new 5 link bracelet as well and it would be perfect!
I called my local retailer and put my name in on this one about 30 minutes after it was announced. In early May I got the call and received the first on they got in stock. It was not disappointed ... I have owned them all and I mean literally every Rolex model even back when you could walk in to any authorized Rolex dealer and the entire case was full of everything.. except The Daytona of course" .. IMHO ...Other than the name the dial this watch is in nearly every way comparable in quality to the Rolex GMT for only $4600 .. I do use the GMT function as I own a homes in Cambodia and the USA. I do also own the Rolex GMT as I have many before and at the end of the day if I had to unload some pieces the last one I would unload from a practicality standpoint without compromising quality is the Tudor BB 58 GMT ... I just love it ...
BB 54 GMT and take my money. My 15cm wrist love 37mm
Now I’m having trouble deciding on one! My current BB58 has offered itself as a sacrifice 😢
Is there a true GMT movement that would fit in a 37mm case? I haven't been able to find any true GMT smaller than the BB58 GMT
The 54 is the only way to go. Much closer to classic dimensions
@@SuperGenericUserI want to know, too...
😂😂😂
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.
Placed an order for this watch with my AD within 24 hours of the release at W&W and had it on my wrist by the middle of May. This is definitely my favorite Tudor in my collection. The size is perfect and the movement is amazing!
5:46 the gold case BB58 with the exotic leather strap looks amazing!
I paused there too...
I believe that model was designed for and sold by a specific retailer ~
I love the colour choice for the bezel. I'm not a fan of GMT's in general, mainly from an aesthetic point of view but I have to say this is a great looking piece. It's better looking than big brother's GMT's in my opinion. I have a BB58 black bezel which is my daily but I'd happily replace it with this watch. The fake rivets has never bothered me personally but I understand the hate. It's like when car manufacturers make you think you have big exhaust pipe exits, only to discover a normal small exhaust pipe underneath and the exit is fake.
Thanks for review. Have had this watch for about 5 weeks now, and really find it comfortable on the wrist, the colour on the bezel absolutely pops, and it's certainly getting the majority of wrist time. Also have ; BB Pro , the Tudor Day/Date 36mm, and the Tudor Royale 38mm Steel & Gold.
Gorgeous watch, I’m in love
This will be my first Tudor ever.
Waiting for my call from the local AD
This piece is definitely beautiful but too small for my wrists and my short sighted eyes to enjoy. Probably why I have the 43.5mm Pelagos Red Moo Chronograph...
Love Tudor aesthetics. Black Bay and Pelagos have my attention without a doubt. Maybe even their chrono with the pink dial for a little pop.
I am curious to see if Tudor updates the Pro and or does something with this movement in the Pelagos line
Tudor, unlike Rolex, has noticed that steel watch wearers want to know the Day as well as Date. A Day complication just makes sense on a GMT for traveling. The BB 58 GMT Date Day would be the ultimate do anything watch.
As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, amzwatch is a good choice.
Love what Tudor is doing!
Teddy, would love to see a thorough review of an RGM watch with their in house movement!
I'm still not happy they changed the seconds hand pip from a square to a circle, on the plus side the 12 o'clock triangle is better proportionate now - I'm on the fence whether or not to sell my heritage BB41 to pick this up
Gotta say, Teddy, this setup for filming is so much better than that office setting. I assume this is filmed in your new “TEDDY” watch shop. Anyway, lighting and setting is top notch. Congrats on the success. 😎👍🏼
Now bring back the previous color combination and I’ll run to the AD immediately!!
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from amzwatch I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
Once they give the sizing and movement treatment to the white face despite they'll knock it out of the park. Maybe go to a five link band as well to appease the rivet haters and it would be damn near a perfect watch.
I’ll wait for the Non Gilt version with a jubilee
I really like this watch but something didn’t quite look right and I couldn’t figure out what it was, until I saw it next to a Rolex. For me, it’s the thickness of the numbers on the bezel. I think they would look so much better in a bolder font. Lovely watch all the same though.
Thanks for the review Teddy! I plan buying one once they become more readily available. This thing just checks so many boxes for the price and I personally love the black and burgundy with the gilt accents. Only disappointing thing is no 5 link bracelet option but that's not a deal breaker.
I think if you're trying to appeal to an upmarket audience that is not biased towards the Rolex color scheme these colors are objectively more versatile and appealing.
Ah, a fellow faux rivet enjoyer!
I own this beautiful piece. I just love to look at it th whole time I am wearing it. I totally enjoy how it feels.
If only the BB Pro had this thickness, I had issues with the BB Pro while hiking and climbing a mountain last year due to it being top heavy. My Explorer II polar is much lighter.
This is the watch that changed my mind on Tudor. Just something about the gilding and the Coke color brings it all together, even with the snowflake hands, which I normally hate
Pretty much agreed 👍
I was not asking for this and neither were any of my watch enthusiast buddies. I think it was a waste to release that this year when they already have a 39mm and 41mm GMT. I think they should have focused on improving the BB58 to be METAS and adding the T-fit to the existing black and blue BB58s, and BB54.
I have the BB58 and if I owned this I wouldn’t wear the standard. But I don’t love this enough to sell the BB58.
I always said if they released this I’d buy it, but I’ve held off. Now, if they release a slimmed down BB Pro…
This is my favorite GMT from Tudor, a smaller size that differentiates it from the dive line, with some added elegance. I see this is a pepsi, the black can is very close to a navy hue. It feels like the very first pepsi all over again. Do not get me wrong, this is a tribute to the OG but not a copy. This will be a future classic
I want this watch to sit along side my Speedmaster 3861. It will make the best two watch collection in my opinion
Close but not quite for me. I’ll wait for a gilt free version with an option for the 5 link bracelet. I love the black and burgundy color combo.
A beautiful watch but for me the date looks like an after thought, a guilt frame round the date window would improve symmetry.
Release this in a 40 or 41mm case for us normal size adults. Most of us would buy this watch if it was not so small.
Love this…with one refinement…a red GMT hand similar to the Rolex 16710.
Please with opal dial and pepsi bezel!
The waiting fiasco game started for many tudor watches…this one is ”expected” in 8 months depending on your spending of course.
I'd have to see this in person, I'm not 100% sold on the colour like I was with the 41mm Pepsi GMT.
The “Ironman”
Beautiful. My next watch ❤
My wish is for Tudor to add GMT to the Black Bay 54 case. That would be awesome.
The only thing I am interested from this is the new movement that unlocks unknown capabilities. The pepsi opaline dial gmt with thinner movement and bb pro with thinner movement are way more interesting than this one
I wish Tudor had this a few years ago. i would have bought this in a heart beat. Instead, I have the Black Bay GMT (Root Bear) Steal & Gold. Perhaps that is coming next in a 39!
I imagine the chronographs will get the same treatment. Their President did say something along the lines of them intending to bring everything in the Black Bay line up to master chronometer spec.
I'll just wait for the Pepsi 58...
If it was as thin as the GMT master I’d go with it but tudors are pretty big and thick enough to move on. The cool part is they have them in stock. Rolex I can look at them and try them on.
I love tudor, i have one and to be hones the price of a Tudor for what they bring is amazing
A BB54 GMT would be a game changer
Date sits too high in the date window. RL.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the MaMaCoo has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
Just picked mine up today and 😍
The video i've been waiting for 😌
Mines on order with rubber 😍
There is a waitlist for this! The AD couldn’t tell me how long it would take 😢
If I get this maritime apprenticeship I applied for I can finally start making grown-up money in a few years and start buying watches that cost more then a grand. Wish me luck.
We need this new movement in the black bay pro. I love the pro but it’s just too thick as it is. It would be perfect with this slimmer movement.
This comes out the day after I buy a Grand Seiko.
Great spec’s watch and I love the dimensions. Just need more colour options & a 5 link bracelet and I’ll pick up one of these for sure!
I pray they bring this movement to the black bay pro
With a white dial
Just call it the “Decaf” and call it a day.
