Here is a comparison of the new Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue and the original Black Bay Fifty-Eight Black. These little sisters to the Rolex Submariner are very similar to each other, but also very different too. The Tudor Black Bay 58 Black has a very traditional, classic, classy feel to it, whereas the Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue feels more modern and sporty. Neither BB58 colours is better than the other, they are just different. I love them both.
These watches are the best luxury watches under £3000.

Thank you for pointing out the different metal colors of the two Tudor watches.
Being a watch collector like yourself. I just brought the Tudor black bay fifty eight in black. Also the black bay gmt. I am going to pick up the blue one today. Owning Rolex's and omega also. I can say Tudor did a amazing job. Making these watches.
I didn’t think there was much more to talk about this much hyped watch and then Adrian discovers the the steel!
Totally incredible discoveru
To be recorded in the annals of horology.
Agreed; very informative.
He's a tool
We can call it Adrian Steel now!
It all seemed so simple: I wanted a black BB58. Everyone does. And it still looks better than the blue... Unless I look at the blue for too long. And then I start to question myself... Damn you, Tudor. Damn you all to hell!
They are both great and what ever you buy will be great.
The black bay 58 is gonna be my first big watch purchase and I just want one to wear everyday forever, so I think I'll go with the black since it's more versatile. The blue does looks stunning, both are a great choice
Same feeling !! Black looks great but the blue ... shit it is GREATTTTT
I have to give it to the OG version. It has that 50's submariner vibe and color scheme I like. And the gilt gives it a little .. something. To me the black is not only more versatile, but that gilt and hint of red also make it more exciting. But that is just personal.
As a proud owner of the OG I have to agree.
@@dirtyhipstergolf8412 I agreed. Same here.
@@dirtyhipstergolf8412 best watch i ever bought.
Agree
Just got mine for my first piece. I’m in love. I agree
Beauty in the eye of beholder, I will go for the navy blue.
I recently pickup my BB58 Navy. It was a tough choice between the black and navy. Both are stunning, well priced and 100% wearable. I actually found the size of the standard BB range too large on the wrist. I landed on the navy based on how it felt on the day. Super happy with my purchase.
Tbh, I think you made the right call. I think they’re both GORGEOUS, but the Blue is next level.
I bought my Omega SM300 Heritage in blue, so I can’t see myself buying another diver in Blue, but I think it’s nicer than the Black, which by itself is truly stunning. I also really like the subtle differences in steel.
I echo Adrian here. I’d get the BB58 or an explorer as like a daily driver that goes with everything.
I also really don’t like the faux rivets on the BB58
“Blue Bay” looks reserved, crisp and classic. That said,
Black Bay 58 Black is the BOSS!!!
Yeah, the Black is still the best.
And boring. Tried it and was unimpressed. It was on a blue fabric strap, so perhaps thats why. The steel would give it some punch, I assume.
"Black Bay 58 Black is the BOSS!!!"
"Yeah, the Black is still the best."
Let me guess... because you boys own one, right?
I own neither and black bb58 is much nicer
z00h Don’t own one yet , but gilt with red pops look dope!
Blue for me. The occasion needs to suit my blue watch. In other words, I don’t give a f about occasions.
Nice that you are using child labur to make this video .. just kidding, cool that you involve the kids in this hobby :)
🤣
The blue on the leather looked great, I didn’t expect that either. It works similarly to denim jeans and leather boots.
Oh my, both the BBs with the mocha strap🤩🤩🤩
My head says that I have to have the blue, I have too many black dial watches already....
But my heart still says black all day long. Its just warmer and less sterile.
Same
Go Green, get the Harrods edition.
Sterile is the perfect adjective for the blue.
“Too many black dial watches already” You’re obviously a watch collector which makes it even harder to believe you haven’t added a blue to your collection. I can’t believe also, that you haven’t got one of the beautiful blue based Omega Seamasters
Disgusted that Tudor didn't consult Adrian on strap option before launching this
To be fair to them, they did apologise and will be consulting me befor future launches.
Bark and Jack good on you, a force in the industry.
I was never a big fan of the black bay 58 until I saw this video. There’s just something about the blue dial to me and it all just clicked. Fantastic camera work and lighting as usual. I will definitely be adding this watch to my collection in the future.
I love both of these, recently picked up the black fifty eight and currently waiting on a call for the blue fifty eight. Awesome video! 👍🏼
Did you get both in the end?
I would go for "Blue Bay 58" since I have too many black watches.
I agree with Adrian, it's not like bright blue like "Smurf", looks very quite and versatile.
It doesn't scream at ppl's faces "Look at my fking watch!!!!!"
I like both. Would go for the black probably out of the 2 but have to say the Harrods Green would be my pick of them all!
.. and then there is me: I bought the Black Bay GMT today :D
Bravo! The BB GMT is a terrific piece. The wrist presence is superb and perfectly satisfies my travel / tool watch needs. Enjoy!
Hope the date doesn’t go wrong for you 🙈
Great choice, as well ! I'd love myself all of them :D
My wrist too small for a gmt
Didn't like mine at first. Now I love it
You had a pat on the back for noticing the steel colour differences on bb58 by uptick watch reviews. I gotta say your the first to notice and I would never have believed it. 👍🏻🏴
BBB58 makes me imagine I’m wearing a sub smurf but I can actually afford it. It gets me all warm and fuzzy inside 🥰
I wish they made a black and white version without the "gilt" finish. I'd buy that literally today. The blue is stunning, but it's just not as versatile, as pointed out.
The Navy Bay is my favorite Tudor release. They finally got the proportions and color right for my taste. I still need to see it in the metal to confirm. They should have removed the rivets from the bracelet and added an adjustable clasp thus paving the way for more modern Black Bay 58’s after giving a nod to the past by making the black/gilt/fauxtina/rivet version. At least that’s what I thought they should do.
Both. I'm of the mindset that Tudor absolutely hit a home run with their Black Bay Line. I really don't mind owning a few of them. This includes the 32/36/41 line as well. I already have the Black Bay Black. Will most certainly be picking up the Black Bay blue as well.
“No watch it’s perfect ....”. As he sits with an explorer 1 on his wrist. Sir, you have perfection already.
Totally agree with this!
the bracelet's pretty janky tho by today's standard.
2:20 so satisfying that the boys are synched up, thank you Adrian
Blue Bay with blue steel.
And complete it with ...
Zoolander’s “Blue Steel” 😗
I reckon that should be the official nickname haha
Quite funny how all the owners of the Black version are shouting that the Black is still the best, while all they seem to do is try to convince themselves. The blue is more fresh, crisp and timeless, the black has a (fake) vintage look... In the end it's the same watch, just a different color scheme, so pick the one you prefer but don't shout that one is better than the other! (de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum)
M De Smet , well said!
My favourite is the Blue One :) I think it’s more timeless than the Black one...there are just too Many Gold accents on the Black one 🙈 looks strange in combination with stainless steel 😅
I own both and NEVER picked up on the slight difference in metal color. Great eye you have there.
Great comparison shots! I think they hit it out of the park with the blue but whenever the black comes back on the screen for me its a no brainer. So much presence and I just love the black/gilt accents with the red marker on the bezel. My 58 black is still my favorite in my collection! I agree the rivets are unnecessary and an odd choice, but also never think about them. I also don't think they look BAD.. just no point to them. The lume on the OG 58 is a bit darker but I personally hold off on calling it fauxtina (but maybe I'm in denial cuz I hate fauxtina?!)
Awesome video, loved it. Your close up cinematography is superb. I'm not so bothered by the rivets, and I'm definitely not swapping the Smurf for the BB Navy. Obv, the answer is BOTH :)
Love my BB58 “ BLACK “.... I’m sure the “BLUE “ will make its mark too!👌🏼
Let’s wait when the Red 58 comes out next year or a new color in green, that may hit hulk in the nuts.
I prefer black watches but the gold, faux lume and red pip marker are a deal breaker. If Tudor make a black version with white gold and white lume like the blue has I’m definitely interested
OG Black version all day, every day.
When did you buy the BB58 black?! Congrats 🎊 I guess I missed it....
Think he just announced on Instagram and not any other platform yet
Probably after selling his Grand Seiko quartz?
I haven't had a chance to do a video on it. But it will be coming. 👍🏻
The blue is absolutely amazing!
You have to ask yourself do you want to own a watch nicknamed Smurf... Black Bay all the way.....
you made the right choice, Adrian! you've been in love with the original BB58 for quite a while. great review!
I sold a 2016 Submariner 114060 and have been wearing a BB58 ( Black ) for last 7 months. No regrets. Fantastic looking watch. So much more character. Never get tired of looking at it. For the money it is the best watch I’ve owned.
I have PTSD about your thumbnail. Every time I catch a glimpse of it, I'm transported back to the story and ...... *shudder* .....
A “darker” steel, are you absolutely sure? How do you get a darker steel? Oh and the Snowflake hands are great, they help give the Tudor a unique identity, rather than just a Rolex on the cheap.
David Datura its fake news. This guy is confused.
Darker steel with an older watch and oxidation of surface layer 🤷🏻♂️
So... different steel? Prob not.
I'm a fan of subdued blue! sbdc107 converted me. so now i kinda like the blue bay. great video adrien and grats on your new watch
I got my blue BB58 from my AD last week, the day it was released. It's awesome and even more awesome considering the price vs. other pieces in my collection.
Superb video as usual and I got my hands on my 58 Black last weekend. Absolutely love it 😊
Congrats mate. They are amazing watches. 👍🏻
All the info I have read about the 58 Blue, nobody has mentioned the colour of the steel against the Black version (for those who have seen both together)
Black and gilt for me, but they are both undoubtably beautiful - both winners!
I have both:- the Rolex Smurf and the BB 58 Blue and I must agree with you, the BB 58 Blue is a better looking watch.
Your video helps me to make decision which watch to get, thanks mate.
THANK YOU! FINALLY someone else has mentioned how wide the handset is. Once you see the handset on the GMT you will not be able to unsee how clunky the regular black bay handset is
It really bugs me. 🙈
Came here to say this. I call it the "clown nose."
Bark and Jack I have the original black bay with the smiley face and rose on the dial. It kind of want to get rid of it now after getting the GMT.
Good discussion. I would have enjoyed a discussion with both watches and an Everest rubber wrist band. Note: I had a Tutor submariner for 43 years and traded it for a new Rolex Datejust. After a year, got tired of a 36 mm Datejust and went back to a Tudor - the Black Bay 58 Blue for a day to day rugged watch that I so much missed with my old Tutor. And hen bought a IWC Pilot Mark 18 watch sized at 40mm. Love that trade in of a Rolex for the Tudor and the IWC. I am happy now and am looking for a rubber wrist band for the Tutor.
I went for the BB36 over the 58 because I felt it had more versatility. Your love for the explorer 36mm 100% inspired me too, although sometimes I do miss the dive bezel. Great video as always! Will the new straps be coming in 19mm?
blue every time , agree with your opinion of the hands as well
I love it, the blue looks so great. I just wish it had the option for a date window.
Great video, to me it was more dynamic than most of your other videos, keep improving! Well done.
Just picked up my BB58 in Navy yesterday, and I'm in love! It was a difficult decision with the black version being so beautiful! But I don't find myself wearing gold often or dressing up much. I love that you showed the navy in various straps, I think I'll be getting a suede leather one soon! Just wish it had drilled lugs, the swapping process seems to look annoying....
Bought this in blue. I actually went in to look at the 41 and the blue 39 caught my eye. Just a beautiful shade of blue and checked all the boxes for me, 39 mm 11.9 mm thick, dive watch, three hands, MSRP under $4k, Rolex pedigree, what's not to like?
For the price of a Submariner, I can buy them both!
I think you can buy 3
Probably 4 lol
I agree that blue usually looks handsome and it does here. But that OG with the red accent is king 👑
Interesting point about the steel color - You're the first one to point it out. I really enjoyed this video ! Cheers man
I have an Omega Seamaster w/blue dial and a Speedmaster. At first I thought the Speedy would be the more versatile due to the black dial, but I also discovered that the Seamaster looks good on a grey or dark blue Nato.
Fantastic video! I think I'm going to go with the black as I have the Tudor GMT already so I feel the blue is more sporty and similar to the GMT. I love the vintage look of the black!
Love my GMT. The 58s are a great release, but a bit small for me (whereas GMT is my sweet spot).
@@mkyhou1160 heritage for me sit, agreed 39 is also too small for me 👍
Navy Blue hasn't launched here in Dubai yet. AD said 3-month wait if a good customer or 6-12 months if new customer haha
Even the standard Black Bay is nice and will suit many people.
Just got the black and put it on a leather strap like in the video. Absolutely love it!
The more important discussion for me is this : why the fuck would anyone want to buy a maxi case Subby when you can buy *both* of these *far* better looking BB's for the same $?
No 904 or Ceramic I hear you say!
*Good!*
We seem to covet a gorgeous vintage Rolex & shell out enormously for them, yet go and buy a watch that basically won't grace us with a patina!, well certainly not in 20-30 yrs. I don't know about you guys but when my pieces are 30yrs old I don't want them looking like old-new stock!
I want them looking like a 30yo watch should.
Long live the aluminium bezel!
To each their own. The aluminum bezel looks too subdued for me and I want my watch to look the best it can for as long as it can so the 904L steel and cermic bezel are the way to go for me.
Please Cut out the foul language. Thank you.
Not gonna lie, I personally start to tend to purchase the bb58 black over the submariner.
The submariner for the young chad is the counterpart for the obnoxiously overused LV bag.
The sub might be one of the coolest watches ever, but holy hell did it attract the wrong crowd...
Hi Adrian , great observations.
I would like a blue watch to add to my collection but I also would like an Omega .
How does the 58 blue stack up against the blue sea master .
Both contenders to be my next watch among some others . I’d love your input , cheers
I bought the black one yesterday..I feel black is more elegant and matches all occasions. Plus its the vintage look with exactly the 1958 style of the tudor submariner. Blue is a new color and just looks more of a hype since its promoting the new color. The value of the black will be more in future and harder to get than the Blue.
Awesome looking together - what a pair - the change in steel tone is such a nice touch by Tudor. The Blue Bay is true to its history - and Wilsdorfs Tudor philosophy , high tec, great build , great price , and made available to its clients and fans . You have to love the idea and purpose of the alpha macho diver design tool hands from the past or else the piece loses much of its meaning. Tudor making the piece obtainable is to be applauded. Definitely a cool piece. Truly great observations.
Great pick up on the steel Adrian, I pulled out my Tudor gmt bracelet and the difference is there, gmt bracelet is slightly warmer
I love both watches, and intend to buy the blue and keep the black. I don't like the faux rivet bracelet either, but find the snowflake hands fantastic. It is interesting that the stainless is a different color. Thank you very much for the comparison review!
Bark and Jack your straps are epic and look like they are high quality
I agree !
The black is warmer, classical lookin'....the blue has a sportier, summery vibe.
Man I’m caught up in the hype. I want the blue.
The Blue is just so damn good!!!
I would think the blue goes with more as there are just two colors on the dial and bezel. The black has red, gold, black, white. Both great looking watches of course.
Looking at your video Adrian I guess I made the right choice, I own both !! They complement each other very well.
Is it not just a different batch of steel or is it a design decision and different alloy. The lume trick is cool. I guess now you have to buy a blue one as well.
99.999% sure it's because it's a different batch of steel.
Great video. I’m a fan of the blue. Tried one on at the AD and was very impressed at how comfortable the watch it. Very smooth and rather understated, comparatively. That said: not fond of the black due to the vintage treatments of the faux patina and the dull gold. And, as much as I like the blue, thank you for calling out the snowflake hands. The Mercedes hands of a Rolex tool watch are hard to beat, but availability and at 1/2 the price I could maybe get used to them.
Great video shown different combinations of strap!🤩
This video is a strong argument for only judging a watch once in your hands, photos are simply not enough. Adrien confirms this, having a very different opinion from last week once he’s actually handled the blue bay.
Blue AND Black! They're brilliant as a pair :)
It would definitely be blue for me. On that note, what paint did you use for your back wall?
I'm guessing Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue
I wanted the black bay 58 with black dial then you look at the blue version and the longer you look you feel torn its a very hard decision. To be so lucky to have enough money that these things are complicated haha!
I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue on the steel bracelet to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've owned for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and bezel compared to the 'bling-blue' ceramic of my Omega Seamaster 300. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. The blue really pops in daylight or in well-lit rooms and a pleasure to wear. Although not quite up there with the Rolex Sub in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when barely 35% of the retail price - go to an AD and try one on. In-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve, staggering lume.... you won't be disappointed.
I can't get over le snowflake hands. If there was other hands available, I would jump on it. I also agree whit the bracelet.
but how long is the wait going to be to get one in the "correct" price though?
A long time, Rolex marketing.
Your best video in a long time!
Love the mocha strap on it! Just ordered it for my BB58 Blue!
Thanks buddy. 🙌🏻
I do like the original black more but I love blue watches. I also like the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage with the same movement and lean more towards the Breitling in blue.
I watch this video at least once a week … maybe I will slow down with that once I pull the trigger on one of these. Great video my man! …its going to be the black one. I’m certain of that. Maybe.
Haha thanks a lot mate. They are great watches.
2 years later. Finally pulled the trigger on the black bay … I went with Blue. But … I had to watch the video again. 😂
Only Tudor worth owning at this point is either the Black Bay Coke, or the Green Harrods. All the other models are mostly boring and may aswell go Seiko and save yourself £3,000. In short, there's a lot of sh*t Tudor
Green Harrods is the shitter
Really interesting question about the steel - i cant confirm or deny your impressions on these watches BUT I definately think you are on to something I've been trying to research. 316L steel is a surprising wide catagory with potentially large physical and aesthetic differences between cheap/expensive and just different steel that you can see between watches.
Great video! Do you have plan doing a hands on with the new seiko divers? Spb143, etc
The steel difference was really interesting, surely something you can only spot if you have them both in your hands. Great watches and video Adrian!
Sharp review. I had a Tudor 41mm. Sold in part due to snowflake hand bothering my OCD. 😎
I brought the black one approx a year ago, and never regretted it. It radiates a rich warmth, as well as good looks, and is still a talking point.
Thank you! I was between the BB blue vs Oris and I thought the lume was green. Green lume on a blue dial? Nope. But it's blue!
Love my original black BB58-its charm puts a smile on my face whenever I wear it after over 18 months. I’ll take a good at the steel tones when I get hands on. Not heard that from anywhere else. Enjoy your BB, I’m sure you will love it!
one classic and a classic to be...
Any chance of a 'Ball' review ? they have been turning my head BIG TIME
