I am not “wealthy,” by fancy watch standards. I’ve been saving for ages. Just bought one in Lugano, Switzerland on our 20th wedding anniversary trip! Bucherer had one left that they received two days ago. It IS the perfect watch. I can’t stop looking at it. Zero flaws. Fit and finish are superb. I look forward to wearing it for the rest of my life.
Saw it at Basel and fell in love. I had to wait a year to get my hands on one... (heartwarming twist coming up). It gave me the buzz I'd last felt when I bought my first quality watch - a Rolex Datejust - in 1984. I still have it. I also have the original box, leather wallet, receipt and manual. That Rolex was bought at Parkhouse and Wyatt's in Southampton and the handwritten bill (£534) was signed by the salesman, Gary Cole. Skip forward 35 years and I finally got the call from Austin's in Chichester to say my BB58 had arrived. I bought it...from the very same Gary Cole. He signed my invoice. Great man and great watch enthusiast.. and a great mate.
Great story! And as it happens I bought my dstejust just one year later, have worn it virtually everyday since, and am now looking closely at Tudor trying to make up my mind. Well see where that ends up. Bought it in Austria, live in Sweden btw.
this is my dream watch. too many family obligations to justify buying one, but maybe one day once I've taken care of what I need to, I can finally get one :)
I was not sold on this colour from the photos on tudors website and wasn’t fully in love with the blue one either. But I went into an AD and tried on the black and gold and honestly, knew I needed it right there
I’ve seen this video about 6 times and fell in love with the watch I decided to buy it, and I can say I am absolutely over the moon with it thank you 🙏
Being a watch enthusiast, even to have the one good watch, I keep revolving around 3-4 brands all the time for that one perfect watch. Then I watch this video, and be like could there be any better watch than this? I am sold, every time I watch this video.
Picked up the BB58 in Switzerland a few weeks ago after admiring it since release. Couldn't be more pleased. Incredible value, beautiful to look at, and super comfortable on my wrist.
Agree, and own it. It’s not just the diameter it’s definitely the proportions. I heard someone say 1:4 is perfect for a watch and I agree - this is 11.6mm thick but that includes 2mm of domed crystal. The case is literally almost exactly 1:4 at 9.6x39 - 1:4.06. It’s super comfortable. It’s my daily wear and it’s quite nice.
Bought one last year and relishing every moment of owning it! Wears so comfortably too, it’s as if they tailored it to my own wrist in the design phase! Brilliant piece.
After a long wait to have mine order, I have been wearing mine for about a month straight. I love this watch. I have only taken it off a few times to change the strap or in favor of my gShock when I go fishing. With my BB58, Hamilton Khaki King, SKX013 and G shock my collection is complete.
Absolutely love this watch, got mine a couple of weeks ago after a long 9-10 months wait!!!. Anybody wanting one should go for it and you won't be disapointed. This beauty looks even better in person!
Javier Castillo I appreciate your love of this watch but it will always be seen as the Submariners poorer sibling and so will never have any serious appeal. It is a watch for those who can’t stretch to a sub and will always be seen that way. Lovely watch though.
I started watching this video on the living room TV; my lovely wife making dinner in the kitchen. "If you've bought one watch, you're likely to end up buying another." Wife laughs out. A grimace... then a grin. In all seriousness, this is one of my favorite watch video reviews.... ever. Nearly the perfect review for nearly the perfect watch.
Agreed. I own this watch along with 4 other watches, and I can't help but feel it is just perfect whenever I wear it. The BB58 is basically the spitting image of the first Rolex Submariner, the 6204.
Picking mine up on Friday , I sold my old Tudor sub a few years ago for less than half it’s going for now so I’m due a break - going to keep hold of my old Seamaster quartz as it’s been brilliant. Great video btw
Stunning video! I'm lucky enough to own the BB58 on a leather strap and i have to say, it truly is an amazing watch for the price range. All the proportions are spot on. And i love how the leather strap adds a vintage element to the piece. I also have a BB S&G. By owning the two you get a real sense of why the 58 is perfect.
Wandered into watches of Switzerland in Vegas and they have this exact watch. I’ve never been a Tudor guy, but this looked absolutely perfect on my wrist. High probability I walk back down there and pick it up today.
Ive listened to you a thousand times, but I need to say you are a fantastic speaker! How much you know about watches, I dont know, but I love your reviews
the bb58 is a watch that isn't screaming "look at me". Its built solely with the goal of being perfect - not to draw attention. Its dimensions and design are 100% for the wearer and in my view its close to horological perfection as a tool watch.
If it really would be built with the goal of being perfect so why does it not have a ceramic bezel or proper quick bracelet adjustment? Why does Tudor not offer 904L steel same as Rolex? Rolex main objective isn’t screaming for attention but being a superlative chronometre which really goes beyond where Tudor buyers are stepping out cuz for money reasons. Rolex is manufactured on such a great level it automatically gets recognized as a beautiful masterpiece and in the end you get what you pay for. I am not saying it is 100% worth the money and Tudor offers good price/value retention but the difference in price between being a good watch (Tudor) or an almost perfect piece (which is Rolex) are progressively higher.
@@ghupft-wie-ghatscht 904L steel is good for wearing it at the beach and not needing to rinse it... But sometimes salt water is sticky so you'd rinse it off anyways. 904L and 316 steel is the same hardness. To think more nickel content in the bracelet makes it perfect is open to debate. When I go to the beach with my Rolex I still rinse it off with fresh water to eradicate the stickiness and water spots anyways. And if this watch harkens back to the Rolex of 1958, it was better for Tudor to do aluminum rather than ceramic. Your other two points are pretty spot on though. Since your comment, Tudor created not a watch bezel of ceramic but rather an entire timepeice of ceramic while being METAS certified accuracy.
Watchfinder & Co UK is the best watches channel in youtube......definitely learnt a lot of history/story on the watches from here......love this channel very2 much.....
@@TrevDaDev47 nothing yet, still hustling my butt off with work. but honestly the goal is a Rolex 116900 lol with a specific number as a personal reward. still a bit away from it. A personal grail/goal.
@@RobertLynch1 I've also had my eye on the 116900, clean piece. But I prefer the sportier Subs and GMT models. Did you see this channels video of the defective 116900 from the Rolex factory? Here it is - ruclips.net/video/mDyFyynEe4U/видео.html Imagine getting your hands on this mistake. I think it would be worth quite a bit. The Black Bay is a popular choice, but I prefer the specs and look of the Pelagos LHD piece. Although I am a righty, I like the idea of the crown on the left hand side to be different and also not to dig into the hand, like the U-Boat models. The Pelagos LHD is a very comfortable and light watch. I am picking up one this week. I am also on the waiting lists for some GMT's, a Sub and a Daytona.
This watch is just too good! Mine arrived on Monday and it has made me question why do I have other watches in my collection because I could just wear this one watch forever.
I’m happy to report that I own this watch. Wear it daily. One of the best watches to wear. It’s also funny, that in every watch review, the Rolex Submariner comes up. Proves to me that the Submariner is the best watch ever made. Wait! Did you say Jamaican Navy? Serious question! Did you?
I completed my comment but didn’t launch it so take 2 I could gaze at this movement for quite awhile but owning it is simply out of the question. I enjoy your videos so much that I get excited to watch & listen as soon as I see your email. Enjoyed this one even more because I love auto racing. Thanks for the great video & stay safe!!!
You are spot on sir.After a nice experience at the AD in Valencia, Spain I have spent many happy minutes staring at the dial and watching the sweep of the second hand.Even if the crown one had been the same price I would have picked the shield. It appears true to the style of the originals and every design detail is well executed.Add great accuracy,comfort and 70 hrs reserve and it could qualify as the only watch needed.
I love it i just cant take how much it looks like a rolex. I live in the bahamas and even kids wear rolex here. The idea of wearing something that looks like a rolex but costs less turns me off completely even though i drule over this watch. I wear a ceramic ap roo diver every day. Im madly in love with it. Thx for all the info. Maybe one day ill get one of these and just wear it when i travel. 🤷🏻♂️
Fantastic watch. Best ratio quality for money. Got that 3 months ago and I am very happy with it. Looks amazing and feels great on my wrist. Well done Tudor
@@michaelmastri651 only slightly? Even at retail price, they aren't worth it their material + work hour value compared to other watches. I finally jumped for the OP with turquoise dial last yeat, cause I loved the looks and it's a solid investment (didn't expect its 2nd hand price to go up by 50-70% in a year though). Not that I buy watches to resell, I hate those people and they further inflate the market for watch enthusiasts but it's a nice feeling that you spend that amount of money on something "material" that will actually keep its value and then some. But I have watches around €1000 that can hold their own considering build quality and have custom decorated movements and similar or higher specs. There's a reason Rolex doesn't have display casebacks ;) One of my favourites is the Formex Essence 39. Probably one of the best watches you can get for the money, cosc certified, but an acquired taste perhaps. But well, Rolex is probably the only higher quality brand that 90% of people know and sometimes that comes in handy as a conversation piece in certain situations.
@@albibass I couldn’t agree with you more. Rolex has a certain prowess to them now and it’s driving the price up more than the actual intrinsic value of the watch. And yes, even non watch enthusiasts know what the word “Rolex” means and its association. But to your point on buying a watch that you enjoy and can hold it’s value and or increase is always a great feeling. Getting to enjoy the watch while gaining value in it at the same time is a beautiful thing. I was actually able to pick up a Rolex GMT Master ii Ref. 126710 BLRO at retail (by having good relations with many local Rolex AD) and just by purchasing the watch I’m already at essentially double it’s retail value. But I won’t be selling it anytime soon ;)
Beautiful timepiece and love the Tudor BB design language, that is probably why I have two Tudors (Pelagos LHD and the BB Bronze) - cannot possibly buy another ;) Anyway, perfect size is not just about the case diameter but also lug-lug size.
My first serious watch some 35 years ago was a Tudor. I have always loved them. This is perfect & with all the watches i have i don't need one but i want one!
Imo Tudors are red hot at the moment. The lack of steel rolex means people are being "forced" to take a look at them and realising they 're actually brilliant, much cheaper and most importantly available. I think tudor will be THE watch brand of the next few years
@@krokodyl1927 they're all being sent to get east because there's more profit to be made there. If your in Europe or America etc go into your nearest rolex dealer and ask to look at a steel datejust, submariner, or Daytona. They'll just laugh at you. Dealer near me has over 30 deposits for the watches above. His allocation for 2019 is 3 watches
tungstentickler I like the watch but sense I’d get buyers remorse a few weeks after owning one. I’ll stick with my Seamaster pro for the time being until I can afford a Rolex
To true ! I orders my Black bay 58 back in early February, it arrived in the dealership last week ( almost 9 months ) it it is now on my wrist , looking nice .

@Lucky Strike well if u missed it, you're the poorer.
Please stop praising it, im trying to save up for one and dont want prices to go up. haha
Same i was in a jewellery store a week ago and had it on. Beautiful piece
R0m 4n I dont like war either!
@@tijnblub6221 what :D?
You won't regret it! It's better than most Rolex Sports models, and I own 3.
Tudor prices went up by £30-40 pound across a lot of models the other day as a matter of fact.
3 hours after i watched this video i bought a Tudor Black Bay. Thanks for your videos!
this is my dream watch. too many family obligations to justify buying one, but maybe one day once I've taken care of what I need to, I can finally get one :)
A year‘s worth of groceries or a stunning watch?
should not have clicked on that video
You're eating cheap if you only spend $64 a week on groceries
Phafanapolis not really. You can eat quite healthy food if you coolly every day. Plus, we don’t know if he eats out two weeks a month
This watch is worth getting and just replace your meals with top ramen lol
looks like someone is going to be hungry
You need to get your priorities straight if you cant differentiate between necessities and desires.
Beautiful Camera work.
“If you’ve enjoyed this video”...all of them. Your videos are stellar.
Thanks to you, got my first Swiss acquisition as a Tudor BB 58 39 mm and I couldn’t be happier. Absolutely stunning.
By some miracle I managed to find one in store. A new addition to my watch collection and already a classic. Stunning, especially next to a black bay
I can stop at any second of this video and make the screenshot my wallpaper lol
You're right - you can indeed.
Just got mine in this week after hearing Watchfinder hype it up all these months. It's phenomenal. Can't recommend it enough. Thanks, Watchfinder!
What did you end up paying for it ?
@@ricdynasty just the American retail price plus tax!
I was not sold on this colour from the photos on tudors website and wasn’t fully in love with the blue one either. But I went into an AD and tried on the black and gold and honestly, knew I needed it right there

Tudor is untouchable in its price range! The fact that the BB58 had a waitlist says a lot about the brands appeal!
Tudor movements are so good they are used in some Breitling watches
Perfect watch. Some bang on about the snowflake hands, gold accents, different colours, rivet bracelet. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The gold accents are exactly what i love
Agreed but what would you think of a black or red crown sleeve and matching rose?Just a thought.
Mike D Give over. If I wanted one of those I’d buy one. Totally different watches. I’ve made my choice. Make yours and enjoy.
The current two logo design and straight text does not fit the look and provides a confusing design.
Problem is it a Tudor......
I opted for the BB58 in Navy Blue. Stunning watch.

You buy a Tudor purely for the watch. You buy a Rolex for the watch, but also for the brand, and you pay a massive premium for the brand.
@@NWA_1919 Rolex is mostly brand value. Specs-wise an OP shouldn't cost more than $2000. They're average watches at best.
I’m picking mine up on Saturday from my local AD and can’t wait!!
I wish the Blackbay had the vintage bezel. A 39m doesn't cut it for me.
Your videos are professional, insightful and intelligent a great source, I watched this Tudor black 58 many times, really helped
Thank you
Yes: Perfect Watch. Great video, commentary and camera work. I prefer this design to the Submariner.
Got mine the other day on nato.... picked up bracelet today . Own a handful of Rolex and am very excited to wear the 58 over them . Great piece.
Same
Absolutely love mine the size is perfect and the leather strap is so much comfortable than a steel bracelet
Amazing video!! Helped me pull the trigger and buy one. So excited to see how it looks!!
Beautiful timepiece and love the Tudor BB design language, that is probably why I have two Tudors (Pelagos LHD and the BB Bronze) - cannot possibly buy another ;) Anyway, perfect size is not just about the case diameter but also lug-lug size.
Great description, details and obvious deduction, thank you and all the best.
Yes, I think it's the perfect watch and I hope to have one in my collection sooner or later
If you needed to buy just one watch this is number 1 for me. Love mine.. if youre in the market, just buy it, dont second guess
This watch is starting to sound like Thanos. "I am inevitable."
Just awaiting the arrival of mine now, should be turning up in the week!!!!!
Just picked one up on a strap with no wait, loving it
One of the watches that i think i could trade my Black Bay Heritage Red with, except i really like the smile on the dial.
My first serious watch some 35 years ago was a Tudor. I have always loved them. This is perfect & with all the watches i have i don't need one but i want one!
Imo Tudors are red hot at the moment. The lack of steel rolex means people are being "forced" to take a look at them and realising they 're actually brilliant, much cheaper and most importantly available. I think tudor will be THE watch brand of the next few years
tungstentickler I don’t understand what you mean by, “The lack of steel Rolex ...”, would you please elaborate. Thanks.
@@krokodyl1927 they're all being sent to get east because there's more profit to be made there. If your in Europe or America etc go into your nearest rolex dealer and ask to look at a steel datejust, submariner, or Daytona. They'll just laugh at you. Dealer near me has over 30 deposits for the watches above. His allocation for 2019 is 3 watches
tungstentickler IDK that. Thank you.
Literally just left an AD in Dallas and the owner mentioned he has had only 8 stainless steel submariners in the last 3 years.
tungstentickler I like the watch but sense I’d get buyers remorse a few weeks after owning one. I’ll stick with my Seamaster pro for the time being until I can afford a Rolex
Smartest watch out there. Pretty, elegant and durable. Classy understated.
Now that I'm convinced that I want one, they're out of stock everywhere.
To true ! I orders my Black bay 58 back in early February, it arrived in the dealership last week ( almost 9 months ) it it is now on my wrist , looking nice .
I just picked mine up from the AD. Proportions are perfect. Will be my daily wearer. Also own a submariner but the BB 58 is less chunky...
Got mine 3 weeks ago! great watch for all occasions!
What did you pay. I will probaly spoil myself in 20 years
List price from AD, ordered it 2 months previously
I picked mine up yesterday, finally got the call and definitely worth the wait!
So guys picked this beauty up yesterday and I am more then happy. First Luxury Watch
Did you get a discount? Are AD’s doing this?
