Thanks for this video! We are essentially the same body size. I'm nearly 6'1", 175 pounds and also have a 6.5 inch wrist. As someone who owned the BB58 in the past, I was a bit confused when I heard of the BB54 as I already thought the BB58 was the perfect size (especially for people with smaller wrists) but after seeing it in a few videos now on several people with similar size wrists, I can see how amazing it looks! I'm also a fan of all the subtle differences the 54 has over the 58. I like the updated crown, love the monochromatic bezel and the different seconds hand. Like you said, it combines that gorgeous 50's Sub look, but in a new, affordable package (affordable compared to getting a 50's Tudor or Rolex Sub that is).

@@Jon-hm2wu I agree with this. I think it’s because most of the time you get to see the watch up close in videos, which is why I tried to do something a little different at the end of this video.

Great Video - I'm so interested in this watch. I can see it next to your Sub - but did it "feel" much smaller on the wrist? The Sub is around 47.6 - so they should be pretty close and, for me, lug to lug seems to be what matters more than dial size. A 46mm lug to lug seems like it would be good for wrists even over 7". Thought?

took me a while to get used to the lug shape on the 54, was a bit odd looking at a rectangular profile. Now that my eyes have adjusted, I can see why the designed it like this. It gives this 37mm so much more presence on the wrist. It's quickly become the watch that is most comfortable to wear, Tudor have sure hit a home run!

I went to my AD today to look at the 54. I have a blue 58 that I bought last year. I have small wrists as well. The main problem I had in the AD (and when I felt my excitement go lower) was actually when it came to turning the bezel vs. the 58. I found that edges are more polished vs the 58, and it's grip was not at all the same as the 58. That was one thing I LOVE about the 58, is how easy it is to grip for being such a small / thin bezel. I just assumed the 54 would be the same (or better) and it was not at all what I expected. Similar situation when it came to the crown. yes, smaller, but the "grip" was not nearly as nice. Shame, they should have kept that the same! Also.. I did not really feel it that much smaller (lug to lug) in the metal. thinner, yes.. but sitting here looking down my arm, the lug to lug is almost the same in real life and that is the biggest thing with small wrists. Lastly, was the fact I have too many black watches, LOL. and the blue 58 is so nice, especially outside in the sun! Anyway, figured I would share.

I was looking for a comparison like this, I have a 7 inch wrist and a blue 58....if I want to switch to the 54, it has to be in blue, but if there isn't much of a difference in terms of the lug to lug, might as well stick to the 58
@travisharrisphotography Жыл бұрын
@@aneeshwagle8892 Yes, this is about where I am at as well now with the choice. I have the BB58 blue and it's great. With that said, IF I had the black 58 then, yes, I think I would sell it and get this one as a replacement. But, the blue 58 is just so much different, feels more modern and I think is a better choice (especially if you have many other black watches as I do). I actually am thinking about buying the ranger braclet for the 58 to have the T-fit system and then I think its perfect!

@@aneeshwagle8892 100% Me too! I have a black dial Seamaster, then I have a White dial GSAR, and the Blue 58. (and a black dial Sinn 556i). I also came to the conclusion, that getting the 54 AND keeping the 58 wont work (for me). Because once I get used to the smaller 54, putting on a slightly larger version of that in blue, will not last long before I want to take it off and go back to the 54. So... yeah, I would need to sell the 58 to make the 54 happen and because of the color difference wont make sense. and, my other points are also true, the bezel is much better to turn on the 58 as well as the crown, and honestly I love the hash marks on the bezel to 15-min. I also love the fact the blue 58 is less "vintage" looking vs. the back and gold. That I know is subjective, but never the less.. it just feels newer, more current and really is amazing.

Think I will get the 54, it's actually everything I'm looking for as the perfect dive watch. There might be competitor models for a bit less money (2-3k€) from Tag Heuer, Mido, Longines, Fortis, etc. but given the fact that the comparable Rolex Submariner (no date) costs nearly 3x more and given the likely value stability of this watch and its in-house calibre it still has a very competitive price. I'm sometimes not sure about how much I like the snowflake hour hand and the yellowish/goldish dial details compared to white/silver ones, but there is always something to complain about and I think this watch is still the best mix on the market for me. I think I will purchase one with rubber band and then see after a while if I can change the wrist band to a pin buckle version (really prefer that) and if somebody offers a see through case bottom. Overall, awesome watch, great addition to the BB 58 and BB (41).

The thickness of this watch and the 58 are less than a millimeter different. Both watches have basically the same crystal height, about 1.5mm. So in terms of thickness, you don’t notice the difference. The lug to lug is also only about a millimeter less so the real difference you’ll notice is the case diameter. That’s it.

I instantly felt like I was basically putting on the same watch with a smaller dial. It did not "feel" any smaller to me and the lug to lug was almost identical (no real "wow" difference) and with smaller wrist I was hoping this would have been the case. They should have gone 45mm Lug 2 lug. :-(

Tudor is in effect a luxury high end version of Steinhart - which is fine by me but rarely accepted by those who buy Tudor. And no being a sister brand doesn’t somehow give it a special pass - what gives it a pass to homage Rolex is that it’s perfectly legal to do so - same pass Steinhart, Davosa, Squale etc get in the actual real world.

>If you love the look of a sub get on the waiting list Yeah, right. Every AD I called and emailed laughed in my face. The will not take orders nor are they having a waitinglist. When I asked how they can survive by not selling watches, the SA became clear: they have a pool of customers that are eager to buy watches and this suits the AD's fine, no need to deal with new customers that bring inexperience and a whole lot of questions and returns (buyers remorse). They said the quite part out loud: Rolex does **not** consider me a customer nor can I be one and I am not able to change this fact. Rolex is not selling you watches. Now, if you do have an AD selling you Rolex watches, consider yourself very, very lucky. You became a customer before AD's decided they do not need (new) customers anymore.

I agree! I wish it tapered more aggressively. Thanks for watching!

I actually like the less aggressive taper on the rivet bracelets since you don't notice the steps between link sizes as much as on the more aggressively tapering bracelets, like an Oris Divers 65 that tapers 20mm to 14mm.

@@interianesq I agree. I went to look at the Explorer 1 36mm and the aggressive taper made the watch feel dainty on my wrist. Albeit - I'm a bigger guy, so 36mm is on the smaller size for me, anyway, but I have other 37 and 38mm watches that I wear frequently. But the super aggressive taper made a smaller watch "feel" so much smaller. I'm gladd the 40mm Explorer is out now!

So, there is some confusion here.. The taper should be the same as the BB58.. the only difference is a fraction of mm on the clasp (the clasp on the BB58 is apx 17.3mm wide and the new T-fit is 18mm). But, the taper is the same on both watches.

Not sure why people tell their height and weight when describing the fit of a watch. Both are totally irrelevant. Wrist size/shape are what matter.

I think it might be helpful for people to get the whole picture. I would say I have a small wrist for my size, but to each their own!

Totally fair to feel that way, and I don't blame you.

I feel that! I'd prefer without the rivets too.

I wonder when these will be available at online retailers like jomashop? My AD said do not expect them to have it until mid to late summer 2023.

Yeah I’m not quite sure but I think these will eventually be as available as the BB58 has gotten. It might just take a little time.
