No sound clips ?

Love these gloves too

I just ordered the same quiet baffles , how’s the exhaust sound ? Is it bearable, did you get some back pressure back?

I own that piece and love it

As you mentioned - the Seiko divers are very good. I've got a 1k prospex diver and a 5k prospex LX diver, and the LX crushes the regular prospex diver. both are better than all my swiss watches. I've heard some of the new micros are even better as they just keep adding more and more lume volume.

I can see why you found Racer gloves better than Dainese gloves. And the palm sliders worked well, too (why don’t all motorcycle gloves have them?).

There was an issue on some of their gmt models where the hands don’t fully align with the indices at the top of the hour. Have you found this to be true ?

9026和普通的会有一些差异，怠速的噪音降低15-20%左右，然后排气的声音会相比之前较清脆一点，之前是更加浑厚的，对我而言换成9026是好的感受，起码长途对耳朵是有更好的骑行体验。噪音降低后，排气声可以听的更加清晰。

Thanks for the great video.I’ve got a part # from Cobra for the quiet baffle. Part # 9026…..1 3/4 “ Did you notice a significant sound difference? Worth changing baffles? Thanks very much

Very helpful. Thanks, appreciated!

I was torn between the Tudor BB58 blue and the Rolex sub The BB58 won in looks and price and it wasn’t even close!

Black Bay 58, perfectly good nice watch, Not for me! A one watch collection? Save up and get yourself a a circa 1990/2000. Rolex Sub 16610. Sure it has a date, its the most useful complication on a watch next to to telling the time. Lastly , the pre ceramic Sub is the essence of cool, it accrues value, it the actual original thing it can be worn daily and you actually know what the date is. I have had mine for 31 years and it is currently running at +1 having had only two services over all that time , It is my everyday watch and yes, I have gone diving with this watch in each decade that I have owned it . If you don't want a date pre ceramic go for the 14060M . Tudor is a nice watch but if its going to be your only watch then carry on saving and have the real thing. I think this watch is rather like settling for a `Porsche Boxster when you actually always wanted the 911, and every time you encounter a 911 you will just say, yep, this Tudor is great but I wish I had the subby. The pre ceramic subby that is , not that blingy over the top slab sided version being sold a a tool watch when it is'n't. If I was to sell it it would be worth well over $12000. Hows that for the ultimate tool watch

Can’t you just keep the gmt hand to your local time and use the jumping hour hand to track other time zones quickly? Also when you put the watch next to the Rolex it looks so much better

Bought the blue BB58 for my son's birthday later this month.

The rotating bezel should only be used to track a third timezone. The GMT hand shows your home time and the hour hand your local time. So it's not a good thing to rotate the bezel when traveling. Why? Because your hour hand changes the date as well. So if you're not setting the jumping hour hand to your local hour, the date wont change correctly.

I own the 58 in black and in blue. Yes. That's how much i love m

+8 is Taiwan time....great.....

Is the 39mm too small ?

IMO the overall form and proportion of the case is excellent. The side profile (is that redundant 🤔) is so attractive, I’m sure I would take it off my wrist at times, just to admire it. BTW, “Grand Seiko is Not a marketing-first company”… That statement is so very relevant in the world of watch collecting and I agree completely.

It does look like Casio Edifice

Thanks for the video. Did you notice reduction in sound and do you have link or part number for quite baffle. Thanks

Cool video! What happened to the Rolex top left toward the end? Did it really just stop glowing?

Stunning!

Thanks for this review. I think I’ll jump on the Racer collection as well. A question about the inner side-is there an inner lining or any additional material that would provide secondary protection in case the leather gets torn out?

Appreciate your fair and balanced review of your Grand Seiko GMT. It truly is a beautiful watch with a tour de force innovative spring drive movement. I get your comments re the non rotating bezel. I have owned a Rolex GMT for many years and rarely changed the time zone as I was in the military where GMT was the norm. The Rolex GMT design has changed little in the years I have owned it. The aesthetic and functional change using ceramics in the rotating bezel is much ppreciated. Other manufacturers are using ceramics as well including Grand Seiko. Truth is I love everything about the Grand Seiko GMT. I would purchase it rather than acquiring another Rolex. I am happy for to own both the Grand Seiko GMT as well as the Rolex GMT. I Need to catch up.

What’s the box made from?

1. GMT (Greenwich {England} Mean Time - ZULU Time) for Airline pilots, control towers and Military operations use. 2. The Hour time hack for local time. 3. The rotating bezel for the third time zone. Unless you're a pilot or engage in military operation, most people would only need to track two time zones, Dual time which this Grand Seiko is (home and local/destination time: Set the GMT hand to your home time (instead of ZULU) and Hour time hack for local time. Hope this helps

I think it’s the perfect one watch collection at any price, no need to qualify under $4k IMO

Thank you for your beautiful review and explaining the SBGE25x family in perfect detail. Also, congratulations on your acquisition of the watch. May I ask your personal opinion on the 3 colour options (Black, blue and Green) and why you eventually chose the green SBGE257 version?

GS makes the best dial in the watch world and the way the hour markers sparkle is amazing!

Hi from Brisbane, yes I agree only a nip up with the thum & index finger is enough for Seiko's as stems have been known to missalign. The reason for the "fixed" bezel is Aviation guys don't give a shit about playing with a bezel, no time. On shifts it's nice to know it's on home time thus the fixed dial. Modern aircraft have GPS digital time mode selectors so Rolex with their old school style clicker is not needed, atleast not for me anyway. It's good to know if the kids are in bed. Seiko do the Gmt 45hr sharp edge nowadays but that date dial is a fail, so it the Spring Drive Gmt 72hrfor me. Still using my SPB143j & SPB207j these days, the $9500 AU asking price will take a while. Cheers Johno :)

How many clicks is the Batman bezel? Very different sound than my sub.

In Nov 2021 I bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue on a 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 cherished for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and aluminium 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 in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when it's barely 40% of the latest Steel Sub's retail price (if you can obtain one) - go to an AD and try one on. An in-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve, silicon hairspring, staggering lume.... you won't be disappointed. Forget about the faux rivets - you cannot see them when wearing the watch and they add an interesting heritage-style idiosyncrasy.

fixed bezel?

Completely agree

Would you wear it on a funeral?

Just like Rolex exporer 2

Thanks for the video. It’s good to see it side by side with its competitors, but In my opinion the Grand Seiko is the most attractive of your watches.

Do people really use the gmt function of watches anymore? I just pull out my phone. But I agree…how GS does the gmt is annoying.

Looking to buy my first expensive watch with a £5000 budget. Is this watch a good choice? Will it hold it's value?

After having the BB58, I’m really having a hard time choosing my next watch! I would want to collect classic pieces like the Sub date or dress watch like the JLC MUT Moon Black

having a listen to you I undemand that you are from Europe, and you say you deal with Indian clients so a GMT watch really helps to keep the time, but can you pls tell me how you adjust your GMT to Indian time , mind you there is a tricky half an hour in Indian time zone.

Fantastic review

As an owner of many high-end watches from the likes of Rolex, Omega…even Patek, AP, JLC, and ALS, I will attest that the Tudor BB58 blue may very well be the perfect ‘one watch’. It checks all the boxes. What more could you ask for?!?

Lovely. How did you acquire the 124270? I'm having a hell of a time trying to get one.

I have the Green one on its way … my fourth GS. I also own two Rolex, and four Omegas… I always go back to my GS.

No comparison… GS ALL DAY !

There are so many miss aligned bezels on this model (including this one and my own) that I’m beginning to think it’s intentional. (All I need to do now is work out why)

Hate to break it to you but if that watch fits good on you, you don’t have an average wrist for a man but you are on the small size scaled wrist for a man.
