For me, my dive watch journey peaked with my 39mm Longines Hydroconquest Ceramic. It's the "Goldilocks" zone for me. Brand heritage, versatile, perfect size, thin, best "off the shelf" movement imo (modified ETA 2892 with silicone hairspring for antimagentism and 70+ hour power reserve). It's not the "best" dive watch, but it's the perfect balance of spec/price/design that I've found.

This video resonates with me so much since I too found my perfect watch in 2020 when I also bought the bb58. So much so that I sold just about my entire collection. 20 watches. Kept about eight because they hold sentimental reasons. Like my Omega blue wave from 1998. The day my wife and I got together. I also kept the Casios and Gshocks but those don’t count lol. BB58 killed it for me and unlike you I don’t need a perfect anything else. This one satisfies the needs.

My dive watch is an Orient Kamasu, and I actually dive with it. I love the size because I don’t like huge analog watches. It also has a unique look instead of trying to be another submariner clone. It’s up market enough to look and feel nice, but not so expensive that I’m worried about using it for it’s intended purpose That said, a lot of people in the dive community, at least in my experience, opt for G Shocks or Invicta Pro Divers because they’re cheap and do the job

It is sandblasted and not polished. Its 300 m water resistant. Its very slim and not oversized. I dont have to worry about it while traveling or wearing. Its up to every task.

My perfect dive watch is the omega, Seamaster, professional. I think it has an amazing case design, as well as the best bracelet in the business.. the 41.5 mm case size fits my wrist perfectly at 7 1/2 inches.. amazing movement and finishing. It can be had in any color for less than $4500. If you shop around a bit… It’s one of the few watches that I would consider a great value for that kind of money and quite frankly I think it’s head and shoulders above the Rolex mariner. Four less than half of the retail price.

I'll see your BB58 and I'll raise you a Seiko SJE093. Quite frankly I am of the opinion that a toolwatch should not be expensive. Because it's a tool. So I've got a collection of some Superman, a Serica 5303 and a Seiko SPB317, and all of those are nice small skin divers, but honestly.... Seiko's heritage is unbeatable. And they are sympathetic. So the one watch I would trade my SPB317 for is the limited SJE093, even if it's too much for a tool watch. They have beautiful handsets, they are nicely proportioned and they are built like a tank. For me, those are the best dive watches. So I appreciate your BB58 for what it is, but Tudor is Swiss, which continues to be its Achilles heel in my book: I simply prefer to sponsor Japan. I like the culture, the designs and the attitude.

My journey has just ended. Having started with two Armani quartzwatches 15 years ago (still have them, still running absolutely reliably and exactly), now more than 50 watches later including Breitling, Panerai, Tissots, Cartier, Seikos, I got so bored of all the snobbish talking, fed up with dive watches in particular, I returned to what it is all about for me: beauty. And quality of course. Just bought my 3rd Armani (AR0168) which is just me. I'm selling most of my collection now and only keep 5 watches. No interest in spending the earned money on another watch.

Russ, I'm very happy that you've found the pinnacle of dive watches for you - well done! The BB58 is an absolutely amazing timepiece. Hands down. Its actually a watch I have my eye onto buy down in a couple of years when I change careers - either the Blue Bay 58 or a vintage Tudor 79090 in blue. The perfect dive watch for me - right now - is my black-dial Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz. I'm active duty Navy so I need a dive watch that's robust, capable, has to-the-second accuracy and is always ready to go. Yet I want one that has Naval heritage, excellent fist and finish, and elegance and charm for when the situation calls for it. For me right now, that's the Quartz SMP. In a couple years? Likely the Tudor (though the SMP won't be going anywhere. We've been through too much together). Congratulations again! Realizing what you have, how it fits with your life, and why, instead of constantly looking at what you don't have is too often a rare thing in this hobby.

I find myself grabbing this watch most of time even my speedmaster pro as been in the box more after buying this .

I own a Grand Seiko SBGX261 and an Oris Divers 65, but wanted a cheap diver to take to the beach. I bought an Invicta 8926OB for 65 euros during Prime Day. I expected to go straight to hell and possibly throw it in the bin after my holiday. I brushed out the polished centre links with scotch brite (very easy to do), sized it up, drew breath and put it on. You know what. I have sinned, for it has become my guilty pleasure and I’m keeping it. It’s actually rather good. Kill me now.

Kind of with you - I judge every watch on three very broad criteria: function. aesthetics story For me the Tudor rates: function - high. Does the basics a dive watch should. aesthetics - medium. Pleasant, nothing wrong with it but plain and derivative. Not terrible, not great, medium. story - low. The brand was created from the outset to be an appendix to another brand and it continues to be just that - no tudor (with the possible exception of the Pelagos) has a story that doesnt start with "once rolex made this watch....here's tudor version". Tudor is the Prince Harry of watch brands - the spare.

I need help, I have and love the BB54 but would like a blue watch. I like smaller watches and now you can choose between BB58, BB36 or an Omega seamaster mid size 36 reference 2551.80 Prince Harrys model with patina ;) 🙏🏼

Panerai Radiomir, hand wound movement.. for the perfect dive watch. History in spades, designed for the original commando combat divers of the Italian Navy in 1936. Well I am half Italian and I was a combat diver. No other watch to own. Rolex sub 🤮 Great vid 👍

The 58 is truly stunning, and maybe one day! However until that day my PADI Pepsi turtle has scratched the divers itch for now and I love my Seitona for a Chrono

I’ve had the blue for a year and I love it. At one point I had the black but I sold it bc I felt weird having both. But now that I’ve watched this I want the black one back!!!

Most of my watches are under $25, so for me, the perfect dive watch that I was willing to spend a little more on is the Addiesdive MY3-2 ($40.)

Tudor BB Good - No date, red triangle, thin bezel, no guards, bracelet, better than almost all Rolexes Meh - hour hand like a warclub, overlong triangle at 12. Blue looks best. I prefer my Zenith Defy Classic with a non adjustable clasp and cutaway hands with limited lume for my very rare 2metre snorkel dives in the sun despite its date and internal cyclops.

Maybe actually DIVING with the watch should be #1 on your list. Also the overall money per package is waaaay better on almost everyone watch compared to Rolex (RM you're even worse of a con company)

I like your channel. I appreciate your production value and the entire DNA of what you do.Fantastic. If you click bait me again and scare me that there is some overly generalized "end to your journey", I will unsubscribe, stop watching and cease promoting your channel to anyone. You are quality and better than the low hanging fruit of the algorithm.

I'm good with the Doxa 300T. Why? Well you don't have to baby it. You can bash the hell out of it and it just looks better. It's not perfect but I love it. I'll keep it cos like all my more expensive watches I saved up two years for it.

For me, Seiko SNE573P1, the one of my 8 watches I use 95% of the time. Look, feel, function and the accuracy of +1s/month I get. Also my 40 straps I can slap it on without a problem.

I can see it. I have never seen or handled the black bay in real life, but I love a dive watch for my daily use. It does everything I need it to. My current daily watch is an Orient ray 2 with the black dial. And while very very (very) different in fit and finish and in just about every way money can buy, the lug to lug is the same as the BB58 and about 1mm thicker. Aside from what Orient gives you for your money, I absolutely love how the ray 2 wears on my wrist. I can 100% see myself falling in love with the black bay.

I don't want much just a watch with all the features I want, and long lasting everything so I never have to replace it. Affordable. Yeah, it's simple really. Why is that so hard to get right?
