[@Bignewshound60]

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.

Simon Howson-Green Great story :)

[@ajacks8007]

That is super cool

[@petran63]

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.

@Lucky Strike well if u missed it, you're the poorer.

[@TylerNewberry]

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.

Thanks to you, got my first Swiss acquisition as a Tudor BB 58 39 mm and I couldn’t be happier. Absolutely stunning.

[@cooperwardell8558]

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.

[@avarmauk]

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 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

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.

BB58,absolutely perfect in every way including dimensions esthetics and price. My choice for the perfect diver.

[@mob8065]

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.

[@5RustyBin]

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]

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.

[@eleveneleven572]

Perhaps the watch a real James Bond would wear.

[@pwally2714]

@@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.

[@thelucentcrow9084]

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 🙏

[@largodoloroso2299]

Forget Rolex, buy this instead. Priced truer to it's intrinsic value

[@michaelmastri651]

Completely agreed. Rolex are getting slightly inflated in price these days.(coming from a Rolex owner)

[@albibass]

@@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.

[@michaelmastri651]

@@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 ;)

[@NWA_1919]

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.

[@albibass]

@@NWA_1919 Rolex is mostly brand value. Specs-wise an OP shouldn't cost more than $2000. They're average watches at best.

Here it is - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Xcd6yvo6qYarc 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.

[@richardsims3847]

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.

[@steelstunners1862]

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!

[@Vargadumi]

Steel Stunners Sorry i didnt get it clearly, so the Tudor gmt was true magic when you tried it or the BB58? Im on the market for either the Tudor gmt or the Explorer 2, i just couldnt try them on yet... Could you please tell me your experiences of the two? Thanks Denes

[@steelstunners1862]

@@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.

[@steelstunners1862]

But again, if you only want one nice watch it's really hard to beat a 58' for all occasions. It's very well rounded.

[@Vargadumi]

Steel Stunners Well thanks for your very detailed answer!😊 If something has a problem like a misalligned bezel or rehault or date hand in some cases it would drive me crazy so thank you for mentioning that. I think ive seen all the reviews of both watches and i had the impression that people think you can get as much content for half the price with the Tudor. I wonder why they never compare them side by side... I like to have a date comlication on my watch although it usually ruins the simmetry a little bit, but i keep looking at my watch daily for this information so i wouldn’t consider the BB58. And i have a Hulk to cover the diver theme. TBH its my only watch since im not a collector but i would love to have a even more toolish and useful watch and i think you just made getting the Explorer a little bit more!😊👍🏻 I try to see one in person!

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.

[@licencetostay007]

Then get the black bay 58 in bronze. Even better looking, and a few mm larger

[@notDonaldFagen]

Oyster cases still wear slightly larger. Don't let 39mm shy you away.

Stunningly beautiful camera work. Great review.

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.

[@timlockwood2443]

Just bought mine. I love the size and simplicity

[@samhawkins3688]

I agree it's perfect now do a GMT

[@Damage_Inc]

Tudor can't do a watch like this with GMT functions. Just look at how thick the Tudor Pepsi is

[@diversityforisrael4660]

@@Damage_Inc They could. Look at the latest Rolex GMT. It's possible to make a thinner watch.

1) "Goldilocks" 39mm size 2) In-house movement 3) Brand pedigree 4) Reasonable pricing 5) Nod to historic design 👍👍👍

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

[@fallenangel226]

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.

[@emanuele76]

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

[@jayebirdjb7143]

I prefer Tudor over Rolex, any day.

[@gandrew5363]

JayeBird had a Rolex, GMT Batman in particular and after three years, had to depart from it. It was uncomfortable on my wrist, and also I couldn’t justify the exorbitant price. It’s one thing having a watch, and it’s one thing having a watch that’s a tenth of $100k. Watches are meant to be enjoyed, and I feel Tudor really captures that

[@DGRWPF]

that's like saying you prefer a boxster over a 911. let's be homest: there's only one reason someone owns a boxster/tudor. :)

[@N54B30BMW]

@@DGRWPF it surely seems like that. But I have to disagree. I drive an M3, not a 911 even though it costs me more (mainly because insurance is much more expensive). Why? Because it is much more fun. Same goes for the Tudor 58 I finally got. It is more fun. I don’t really care what people think about it.

[@allshoulders9624]

@@DGRWPF what I do know is that anyone who makes these types of comments owns neither.

[@signz1234]

Went into my AD and they had one in stock! so didn't have to wait. I have had it a couple of weeks now and I must say it is perfect, prefer it to my ceramic sub

[@iankaczer1781]

Why do you prefer it to the sub?

[@Keffin1]

I think you've just sold me this watch. Sorry bank balance.

[@mjuellarsen]

Kevin Wong that’s the danger of watching this channel! He sold me on a GS Snowflake too
