I've been wearing my black BB58 now for over 2 years and I'm still very happy with my choice :-) though we were able to look at (and even wear) some of the other variations, I'd still go for the black one by the end of the day. What is your favorite BB58? If I had to add another one, I would definitely go for the 925 silver (though I am still hoping for a BB58 GMT - how cool would that be??) Let me know what you think in the comments down below!
Thank you for watching

The BB58 is for many close to the ’perfect’ vintage diver. 😎 It’s hard to kill that vibe here. Well, when you are close to perfection you are getting picky. 🧐 For those who are not happy with the bracelet, I would suggest to go for the leather strap: it’s just one of the best. 👌

It is because of Rolex. They cannot have BB58 or any BB line have it because that would be competing with big brother. BB58 is a tool watch and can take a beating. Not to mention it has more capability than the Tudor Submariner of the past. Pelagos is solely a tool watch and not a well balanced watch. BB58 on the other hand can go with a Tux and go scuba diving. We won’t see that clasp on all BB line. I suspect some of the line may have it like those that are made from different metals.

There is no good reason. Omega suffers from this same problem. The adjustable clasp of the Planet Ocean should be used on many more models, and re-dressed for more minimal clasps, if needed. It's almost as if they relegate these features to specific models as a sort of "playground" but fail to spread the love across the line.

The majority of my watches have a date. I usually choose a watch that looks best with my clothes for that day. It takes real time to set the date which may be wrong when I need to wear the watch again a few days later. Date complications on an everyday watch aren’t much of a problem, but dates on watches in rotation…it gets old fast.

Plus I am sure those that complain about it being too thick have never actually worn the BB heritage. I also have a Breitling Avenger 46mm and that really is a thick beast, the BB heritage is just rightly proportioned for a bigger chap to wear.

The 41mm piece just felt like the "right" size, whereas the BB58 was clearly too small. Even the woman helping me out at the jewelry store said the BB58 was way too small for my wrist. I'll definitely try them both on at least one more time, as well as the Pelagos, just to see what my second impression is.

I recently (Nov 2021) bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to compliment a range watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 which I've cherished for 19 yrs. The Tudor BB 58 is a solid, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and bezel. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 version as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. But after watching some of your helpful videos, plus many others, I succumbed and I have just purchased the BB 58 Black version on 20 Dec 21 from my AD at retail - there is no shortage of them in the UK these days. I do, and still love the blue, but I have also grown to adore the warmer, more vintage appeal that the black exudes, not to mention the slightly darker shade of steel Tudor has cleverly used to add further differentiation. Maybe now owning identically-made watches with the exact same specs is crazy, but hey it's Christmas after all !

I love how discreet, subdued and versatile it is as a blue watch, far more wearable than any other blue watch I own. It's the one I kept.

A big plus is the no-date. If you have several autos then having to change the date each time you change watches is just a pain. The big minus is the text on the dial - are they trying to write a sonnet or something. And what is it with this two versions of a water resistance. Perhaps they think their target audience does not have the wit to make the conversion. Better still, put that info on the back.

It's strange how small size differences on these Tudor BBs makes so much on the looks on the wrist. I wanted the BB Heritage but it looked a bit too thick on my 18,5 cm wrist. Then I tried the BB58 which was then too small. Finally ended up with BB GMT which is a tad thinner than the heritage, or at least so it seems on my wrist.

I love my BB58. The size is perfect for my 6.75" wrist. It has warm, vintage tones thanks to the matte black dial and gilt with aluminum bezel. The symmetry of the no-date dial is perfect (if I need to know the date, I wear my Datejust instead). The Tudor is a lovely watch and a joy to own and wear. It also is amazingly accurate - mine has been perfectly accurate for the two months I have owned it. I have mine on leather (I think the leather enhances the warm vintage tones better than the metal bracelet). I believe the black dial BB58 has more in common with a vintage four digit Sub than a modern Submariner. Highly recommended.

I love both so much. I was fortunate to land on a Sub first and I thought I wouldn’t want the BB58 any longer but was I wrong! Just let any one of the two find you in any order and if you decide to sell one for whatever reason you won’t lose any money.

Fair point...normally, i would also advise people not to buy any watch brand as a Rolex substitute. If you really want a Rolex, any other brand will not satisfy you. Maybe for a few months, or even a year, but you will always yearn for the watch that you want....Unfortunately, Rolex isn't giving us much choice. For my case, I am not a watch collector. I can appreciate a quality watch, but I will not collect a watch simply because it is interesting. I want to use my watch/es. So, after wearing 1 watch everyday for the past 12 years (an Automatic Aquaracer, given to me by my parents), I have decided to get 2 watches for myself - a quartz as a daily beater, and 1 luxury automatic for formal/special occasions...ideally an OP Rolex. But no AD will sell me an OP (even if they have it on display). So, what will I do for my special watch? Going to a gray market dealer is a big no-no. Just get the next best thing to a Rolex...yeah...a substitute watch....coz Rolex ADs discriminate those without prior history with them. How can I have history if they do not sell me one in the first place?

No date on the BB58? Astonishing! I can certainly see why someone wouldn't know this before they'd bought it. I've worn this watch for two years and hadn't spotted it 🤣🤣🤣

I can’t believe she said that not having a date window is a con for this watch. A date on an automatic watch is absolutely useless in 2022 since everyone has a phone in their pocket and in her case an Apple Watch on her other wrist.

I would love to own a Rolex someday, namely the Explorer I.. But my situation is opposite! I was looking at Seiko Milsub mod builds and stumbled across the BB58 lol.. It immediately captured my heart, and now I must own one. So instead of spending maybe $500-$1,000, I’m now going to be spending $3,500 lol. This watch stands on its own! No Rolex is like it, therefore it could never be a substitute for one.

I tried on the 925 recently and that watch looks better in person than in any of the videos I’ve seen. The many shops I looked at recently in Lucerne, Zürich, and Stuttgart all had most to all of the models available. Your comment about the size is correct. I have an 18.4 cm wrist and the BB58 did look a bit on the small side.

@dacarantonm Жыл бұрын
I was also in between sizes of the bracelet and it was a little discouraging. However, there are a few options out there to resolve the lack of adjustment of the clasp that you could explore. I have both the half link from Uncle Seiko and the on-the-fly extension link from Steel Reef and they are just game changers. Nowadays I only use the extension link and the watch fits perfectly everytime.

Once I make my Black Bay 58 purchase, I'll likely do the same to continue my daily tracking. I thought it might look a bit silly but it actually doesn't at all IMO.

Many, many people do not know that silver can be cleaned. It will tarnish and if you don’t do anything it will eventually turn blueish black. Don’t let it come that far. There are impregnated cloths available for normal maintenance and your watch will stay bright.
