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.

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.
@ghupft-wie-ghatscht Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

I already had three Wrolex before my wife bought me the 58' as a present. Of the three (Sub no-date, Explorer I, Explorer II) I much preferred the Explorer I and for me it was the perfect watch. But I have to say the BB58' is even better balanced, more comfortable and dare I say it more aesthetically pleasing than even the 214270, which if you own that watch you'll be very surprised by because really that is almost perfect. I really did not need another no date watch and was intending to buy the Tudor GMT but when I tried it on it was just pure magic and I knew I had to get it. In terms of finishing it's less bling, with fewer shiny surfaces, no gold and 316 steel instead of 904l. This means it's not a scratch magnet like your average Wrolex and it's solid and far better built than the last generation of aluminium Wrolex of 10 years ago. It's a winning recipe. I'm a massive fan what can I say, only the 214270 comes close!

@steelstunners18625 жыл бұрын
@@Vargadumi The 58' was magic. I have the Explorer II polar and much prefer it to the Tudor GMT. The build quality on the Explorer II is superior, it's super legible, has that pop of orange on the dial and has a much slimmer profile than the Tudor. The GMT is not a bad watch but the Explorer II for me is more visually refined and proportioned. The defects on the GMT for me are the misaligned 6 and 12 hour markers (take a look you'll see it) the massively thick and out of proportion case as like the other standard black bays. The Explorer II is not strictly a GMT watch, since the orange hand is supposed to be used to tell 24 hour time and not a different time zone - but you can use it for that. But don't forget the Explorer II is also a quirky watch, it's 42mm super legible and has a massively toolish aesthetic, if you want something to wear everyday for all occasions the Tudor GMT or the black Explorer II are probably more versatile. My advice would be to find a second hand dealers and try on both the black and polar Explorer II and see which one you prefer, take a little video and compare it to the Tudor GMT.

And i have a Hulk to cover the diver theme.

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 wrist is a bit bigger so I bought the 41mm one. After buying it I just stopped wearing my other watches. This watch is literally 90% of the time on my wrist. And after 1 year I still can't get enough of it. Amazing watch for a rather reasonable price.

Luckily as a chap with larger wrists I find the 41mm BB fits perfectly, I was able to buy exactly what I wanted without having to wait. Black Bay Red for me :)

I just bought this as my first watch to start my future collection and I couldn't be any happier !

Wow I'd love to have enough money for a Tudor as my first watch lol. I'm still on a Seiko budget. Cheers mate hope you enjoy 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.

Looking forward to my black bay 58 blue. Cracking Watches that competition struggle to beat.

Beautiful watch, but given the size of my wrists, I won't buy any watch less than 40mm in size. I prefer 42mm to 44mm.
@licencetostay0075 жыл бұрын
Then get the black bay 58 in bronze. Even better looking, and a few mm larger
@notDonaldFagen4 жыл бұрын
Oyster cases still wear slightly larger. Don't let 39mm shy you away.

Best watch I have ever owned! Mine is keeping time after three months on the wrist. Crazy accurate.

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!

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...

Purchased a Navy Blue 58 last year. By far, the best watch I own. The 70 hr. power reserve is spot on. Accurate, colorful, comfortable, sexy watch. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This is THE perfect watch. Please Tudor work on it.

The fifty eight should offer different colors, not everybody is fan of gold accent. My dream watch would be a fifty eight day date with textured dial.

The Black Bay is a great watch, but never understood why it gets more love than the original 2 liner/ ETA Pelagos. One things is for sure though, these guys know how to put a video review together!

To me this is the reel tool watch Back in the days when the cost of a Rolex sub was a month wage for a an average jo . THEN it was a tool watch. Now in my opinion a Rolex sub is a luxury item and an investment because it most likely will go up in value.
