    The caliber MT5400 is basically the same as the MT5402 movement, but with a slightly larger base plate. It was used for the versions of the BB58 where there is a display caseback.

    • @EDHBlvd
      @EDHBlvd 2 года назад +5

      Correct but that’s interesting that they are now only using the MT5400. I bet they’re found it cheaper to just use that movement on all watches instead of manufacturing two versions of the same movement. The BB58 Bronze for example does not come by a display back case, yet it uses the 5400 just like the 925. I bet when they refresh the BB58 blue and gilt watches with the tfit, they will be 5400 instead of 5402.

    Had mine just over a year now, Britt. Keep waiting for the day I don’t love it - hasn’t happened yet. Low morning or evening light, when the light catches the hands, and I look down and think ‘Yeah, good choice, mate’. Best watch I’ve ever owned.

    To exemplify how insanely in love I am with this watch: The other day I had an issue with my pool filter and I had to brush algae off the joints/tiles manually... I was already inside the pool doing it for 10 minutes when I realised I wasn't wearing my BB so I had to stop, dry myself, go in the house (upstairs), get the watch and jump back in 😄

  • @infamoussteven

    I've owned the blue BB58 for about 4 months now and absolutely love it. Every time I look down at my wrist I can't help but stare at it. To me the 39mm Pelagos is different enough that I'd love to eventually add one into my collection.

    • @BrittPearceWatches

    I own a BB58 as well and I definitely would still get the Pelagos 39 for my collection. The titanium and improved bracelet has a very different look and feel from the 58. Maybe wearing it on the rubber strap would set it apart more from your 58.

    100% agree. I own a BB Black (41mm.) because my wrist size, since 2 and a half years ago and the BB GMT since 1 year and a half ago. I'm more than happy with both and they are working perfectly and after this time, they are in perfect condition.

    @swiss.watch.4657 2 года назад +4

    BB58 was also my gateway drug… have since added a BB36 and the Pelagos 39. In my mind, they wear so differently to one another despite the similarities on paper. I’m keeping them all and love each one for different reasons. Can’t go wrong when you get that feeling and follow your heart !

  • @andywilliams4887
    @andywilliams4887 2 года назад +5

    I'm very fortunate to have both the blue and original black/gilt versions of the BB58 because they are so impressive, but also different enough in character. The Blue, for example has a slightly more modern, fresher vibe despite the 'vintage' appeal - and I love a blue dial/bezel. Forget the faux rivets, you really can't see them once on the wrist.
    I have also cherished a classic Rolex Sub Date 16610 for 20 years, hence why the new Pelagos 39 is not one for me to genuinely consider, no matter how much I like it, because the dimensions, its purpose and aesthetics are too similar.

    I have the blue Pelagos 42 since 1 year now and never regret getting it over the blue bb58. One big reason was the clasp system of the Pelagos, it’s just so convenient. Besides the reduced symmetry, the date complication is also very useful. Anyway, if I didn’t have any watch today, I would seriously consider the new small Pelagos.
    @Britt never regret using your watch, that’s what they are made for😁

    Gotta say love my BB58. Recently bought the same model (love the blue) and I can’t stop admiring it. Yes, it was the most expensive piece I own, but the value is there. I went with the nato strap and so happy I did! I have a Tudor Glamour Date/day with steel bracelet and while classy it’s so easily scratched and was tough to get a good fit. The nato on the BB58 is the most comfortable band I’ve ever worn; it has a classy look as well but more so a vintage classy look that’s different than anything else out there. It’s also adjustable! Which the AD didn’t tell me; something I learned going through the Tudor owners manual, made the watch even more special! The Tudor shield buckle is brilliant; adds so much to the look of the strap. The strap is waterproof and durable as hell; but my favorite part is no scratches! Sure the buckle may get a mark but the strap itself should look great for a long time. The BB58 is just amazing; that anodized aluminum bezel is striking and the domed sapphire crystal looks so rich. Happy with the size and the lume has yet to fade in the darkest of night. No more ETA movement (nothing wrong with them but I’ll take the certified in house movement anyday) 70 hour power reserve. The Tudor rose on the crown, beautiful. All in all the best watch I’ve ever wanted and obtained; and this one isn’t gonna sit in a box. I’m happy Tudor is making the same size in other model ranges but the BB58 might just be the perfect watch (for me that is).

  • @giacomogalbiati3734
    @giacomogalbiati3734 2 года назад +10

    I think the difference between the two movement is the diameter, with the 5400 being a little larger. This new Pelagos should be seen as the real modern Tudor Submariner aka "snowflake" and looks and feels spectacular. Actually still looks as a purpose-built watch. Big fan here. The BB58 gives way more space to aesthetic over function. Different watches, you can have both in the same collection, but they will overlap in terms of the use you are gonna make of them. Both beautiful watches! Greetings

    @nickbrooker1411 2 года назад +1

    totally get that the 39mm and vintage vibe sells - Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it's a dive watch - not a sodding fashion watch! - or supposed to be! Any dive watch that doesnt have a bracelet extension isn't taking the "dive tool" seriously! That's why at the time I went for a Pelagos 42 and never looked back....

  • @steveclay6620
    @steveclay6620 2 года назад +1

    Britt - like you, I have a blue BB58 and love it. I was also able to get a Pelagos 39 a few weeks ago, and it definitely does not conflict with the BB58 in my collection. The Pelagos 39 wears like a dream - between the lightness of titanium and the T-fit clasp it's easy to forget I'm wearing a watch at all...until I look at it. The (very subtle) sunray on the dial and bezel is really not apparent in normal light, but in bright sunlight it gives the watch a little "pop" that I really like. IMHO the BB58 and the Pelagos 39 wear very differently, and are unique enough that they would have no problem living together in your collection - go for it!

  • @markwright2140
    @markwright2140 2 года назад +3

    Hey Brit, I have the BB58 blue and I have just added my name to the list at my AD for the Pelagos 39. Yes, they are both divers but I love divers! and I especially like black divers without gilt accents.The Pelagos for me is the modern Interpretation of the Tudor Sub. My BB58 blue will never ever leave my collect either as it was a 50th bday gift from the Mrs and therefore has so much sentimental value.

  • @dec1aim_flow432

    Oh well… my tudor BB58 925… I bought it while waiting for my Rolex Cermit. I got both and guess which one has more wrist time… I love it so much. Perfect design, perfect color, original color with the silver, lots of scratches and small decoloration due to very mild corosion. It lives, like your blue BB58. Don’t want to have it polished. To want to have it shine. It’s a freaking tool watch and it should look like it. My sub is beautiful, and all shinny. Too flashy for many occasion, the BB is ALWAYS the right watch for any occasion. Love it.

  • @gpant
    @gpant Год назад +5

    I'm here for the BB58B love. I got mine last month after years of planning. I knew I wanted a BB but the last 2 years I zeroed in on this one, mainly because of the stunning color. It is so pure in my eyes, it reminds me of the sea and the navy and for me it is the defining tudor color. You wont find a color like this from Tudor's bigger brother's lineup. About the small improvements on other models Inhave to say this: if we were seeking perfection we probably wouldnt be mechanical watches enthousiasts. Its not about the specsheet, its about selfexpression. Great that there is a better clasp out there, if I buy another watch.. ever , then I will appreciate it. Enjoy your bb58 blues!

There is room in your collection for both the BB58 and the Pelagos 39, as they have very different aesthetics. And speaking of watch addiction, my AD called me with a 124270 yesterday - I have not taken it off my wrist since picking it up - the 36mm Explorer may be the perfect watch (barely feel it when wearing it) - I seriously love it Cheers!

  • @RedwoodAggie
    @RedwoodAggie 2 года назад +1

    I think the BB58 (especially in blue) is a classic. I'm unfortunately (fortunately?) not of small wrist, so I fear I won't be satisfied owning a BB58. I try them on and I just don't know if it's for a giant like me. What Tudor needs to explain is why their 41mm Black Bay range is so darn thick. It doesn't have a date. Obviously they don't need all that space to get 70 hours of COSC sweetness into a movement. Time for a refresh from Tudor? Even the Black Bay GMT wears thinner with that slight cut up on the case sides, and that offers a freakin' GMT movement. At least I can understand why that is thick. I may end up getting the BB GMT, but a regular BB in 41mm might be more tempting if it were thinner. Also, they need to do full blue in that size too. That all blue is just killer. Thanks for listening to my rant. 😁

  • @TYPEV3
    @TYPEV3 2 года назад +1

    Obviously both watches look very similar, however, they are technically different designs altogether (color choice aside). So I think the more important question to ask is if they fill the same role? It's like buying a VW Golf and then asking if you should also get a Seat Leon. If you like hatchbacks, then great! Otherwise, get something different.
    As a black/gilt BB58 owner, I probably wouldn't bother with the 39. But an FXD? Now there's a pairing I could get behind.

  • @cistm_un-do_
    @cistm_un-do_ 2 года назад +2

    So I own both. I was lucky and picked up my Pely39 just after the release and was absolutely set on selling my BB58. I always hated the clasp. It’s too long. No micro adjustments. But then I looked back at some photos of it on NATOs and leather and aftermarket bracelets… and now I’m keeping both. The Pelagos 39 is fantastic and so comfortable all day. But it has become an addition, not a replacement. If you’d like to spend some time with the 39 I’ll bring it to the next RBB. Dm 😉

    Girl, I wore the Pelagos 39 at my AD just this week and pheeew, that's a though one to resist. I am IBWC too and the 39mm fits like a glove. Being made of titanium it's also incredibly light so oyu barely notice it on your wrist. The grayish black color scheme is a little boring but it's still a killer watch.
    I especially liked the slowly tapering bracelet, it's a LOT nicer looking than the BB58 or Ranger one IMHO.

    You are so right about aluminum bezels. I have the Black Bay GMT and it’s a great watch made better by the aluminum bezel. It’s so obviously a design choice and not a “cost cutting measure.” You’re also very right about the rivets. I get a little excited when I notice them. They add another dimension to the bracelet.

Like Britt, this is a very special watch for me that will be handed down to my son. I’ve already informed him that if he ever sells it I will strike him down from above. Perfect dimensions on my 6.75-in wrist, subdued blue color that goes with everything, vintage diver vibe (I got my diver certification in 1975), and COSC performance. What’s not to love? I even like the faux rivets!

    I went to pick up my P39 today but when I was sitting there having it on my wrist and my black BB58 on the other I just couldn’t motivate having it in my collection knowing I won’t sell my beloved BB58. They were just too similar despite their many differences. At the end of the day they’re both black dial divers from Tudor with a red accent, sharing the same movement without a date. I do however have to point out that I absolutely loved the bigger teeth on the bezel and the bigger crown.

    I have the BB58 in blue and absolutely love this watch. I’m not a bracelet guy so bought mine on leather, which is rather nice, but mine lives predominantly on an MN single pass strap so don’t have to worry about the faux rivets and it’s infinitely adjustable and the most comfortable style of strap I have ever warn. The snow flake hands don’t bother me either. Gets the most wrist time of any of my watches and once it’s on I find it difficult to take off. Really like the FXD but this is on the limit for my skinny ass wrist and the 39mm is a perfect size. For me personally I don’t think there is enough difference between the BB58 or the Pelagos 39 to justify having both and I can’t see me ever getting rid of the 58.

    I think from a design perspective the 58 is much more versatile with how you can wear it. Dive watch, dressed up, t-shirt and jeans or a more vintage attire - everything works :)
    The Pelagos imo is more of a tool/sports watch and due to the material and optional rubber band I'd definitely use it in more active scenario's.
    So yea definitely an excuse to have both 😅

    Great watch Brittany ! 👍🏽 Got also mine almost 2 years ago. Still really love it. I'm not a diver but I often go swimming in the lake of Geneva with it.
    Yours seems very damaged. Are your OP and Daytona the same ? Would be interesting to know.
    Concerning the Pelagos 39, you really don't need it. The two watches are so similar. Unfortunately, Tudor is pushing too much with marketing to keep the demand on the look-out.
    Black bay-Pro, Ranger, Pelagos 39... what's the next ? Please Tudor, Quality is better than Quantity ! Do not loose your mind for 💰💰💰

    Perfectly articulated. I feel the same way about my BB GMT. Sorry, snowflake hands - that’s WHY Tudor!!! It’s a major sell for me makes it so distinctive.
    Agree completely about fake rivets - didn’t feel strongly about them and don’t notice them day-to-day.
    I wear my GMT all the time, so am now thinking of something that can be a little bit more dressy (and less beaten up). Unfortunately the 39 is a bit too dinky for me, so am considering the BB41.
    I adore this piece though. It’s highly accurate and just shear quality with lovely details. Completely get it

    Dilemma, dilemma! The first time I saw the combination of the snowflake hands, applied, bordered indices, and the lovely proportions and design touches on the BB58, I was smitten! I have always admired the Pelagos but could never embrace the size of it. I have always been waiting, hoping for a smaller, titanium cased, snowflaked Tudor. Now there is the Pelagos 39... For my uses, purposes, desires, it is just about the perfect blend of everything I had been hoping for. Now I just have to be able to afford it!

    As someone who has only ever worn Rolex, when I first tried on the BB58 the faux rivets were the first thing that stuck out as weird. It could be because I'm not used to seeing it, either way I didn't like it. Other than that the watch is very beautiful, maybe I'm better suited for one on a strap.

    Can you buy the new band without trading off the watch you love so much. It seems that replacing the band with the old flaws for the new band with all the fixes would give you the best of both watches. Give it a thought.

  • @ayellleon3867
    @ayellleon3867 2 года назад +1

    The caliber MT5400 is basically the same as the MT5402 movement which powers the Black Bay Fifty-Eight and Black Bay Fifty Eight Navy Blue, but Tudor enlarged it to better fill case which has a different dynamic due to the screw-down open caseback on both the 18K and 925 Fifty-Eights. The MT5400 movement measures 30.3 mm x 5 mm (up from the caliber MT5402 that measures 25.6 mm x 4.6 mm).

    The bb58 is too small for me personally. I got the s and g 41mm. people moaned that it's slab sided, but I like it being hefty. The rivets don't bother me at all. I would like a t fit clasp, though, so hopefully tudor will make them available to fit the old models. I actually think on the fly adjustment is a must now , on a watch that costs 3k or more. I find when Its hot, and your wrist expands it can get clammy . all good watches should offer this feature. I wouldn't personally buy a watch now, without on the fly adjustment. I like the omega aqua terra , but it has a butterfly clasp with no adjustment , why ? on a 5k watch. it's like buying a Tele with no remote , WTF !!!

    I have the BB 58 in navy blue since 4 weeks now, after beiing on the waiting list for nine months!!! Got the call of the dealer right in the week as the pelagos 39 came out. There were 4 people in front of me on the list of the local dealer, they all jumped off to get the pelagos. So I thought about to get on the list for the pelagos too, which also looks fantastic and for sure is an awesome watch. Finally I thought I take the chance and so bought the BB 58 and I am more then happy with my decision. A great everyday watch, very compatible, stylish and as you said not too expensive. Simply a great timepiece that hopefully also keeps it value over times....

    Gringa! Tudor's Rule! I do love the BB 58s, but due to wrist size they are a bit to small for me. My BBs are probably worn 5 days a week minimum, and will be passed down too. My love for the Tudor cult is second only to the Gringa cult. As for the difference between the MT5400 and MT5402, it is the diameter of the caliber. If memory serves, the 5402 is smaller at 26 or 27 mm, and the 5400 is 30 or 31 mm. I have read that the larger 5400 was designed to be used in the display back models. Otherwise they are the same movement. Long Live the Cult.
