So, I picked up this watch just about one year ago now. My reason for getting it was more nostalgic… Back in the mid 90s I purchased a brand new Tudor Submariner 40mm for the whopping sum of $940 US. I had it for a couple years then I traded it towards a 1997 two tone bluesy, which I still own to this day. Although I love the Rolex, I always regretted getting rid of that Tudor Sub. So, the BB58 blue comes pretty close to the sub I had all those years ago, and (I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing!) but I was able to get the new Tudor for half of what the vintage subs like mine are selling for. So far, I am very happy with it!

Great watch. Your blue one looks great too, but I couldn't justify owning two BB58s! I'd love a blue diver, so it'd have to be that Omega of yours for my lineup. Agree about those awful faux rivets - that's why I bought my black BB58 on the leather strap instead.

Being a fan of Tudor (I love my BB36) as well as a guitar player, I totally get what you mean about the feeling that Tudor is like the equivalent to a Japanese Reissue Fender. I understand this was not a knock. That said, recall that there was a time when the reissue Strats and Teles made in Japan were actually better than/on par the reissues Fender was making in the US. I’d be so bold as to say the same thing is happening with Tudor, re: Rolex. Of course, given the choice, I’d take an American Reissue 57 Strat over a Japanese reissue. But I’d still love playing the Japanese reissue because I know how good it plays. Likewise, I’d take. Rolex GMT over a Tudor...but if I had to have the Tudor, I would still get much enjoyment out of it. Anyhow...big fan of the channel. Keep doing what you do. It is appreciated.

I didn’t love the snowflake hands at first either. But. The snowflake hands aren’t about elegance, they are about legibility - the BB series are tool watches. I have a BB36, and it is the ultimate motorcycling watch - I can tell time at a 90 MPH at a glance, and you don’t want to be fiddling with the angle at that or really at any speed over 50. I just expose my wrist, flick my eyes down, and done. It’s really satisfying. Over time I’ve come to appreciate the snowflake, and the watch overall, and I’m just in love with it. I miss the lack of a date function at times, but the clean dial is totally worth it. The BB58 is next but I can’t decide between blue or black gilt.

I too have a larger wrist, 8" to be exact, and this is the reason I opted for the Black Bay Heritage (with the new movement) Burgandy dial instead. Although, I immediately took if off the bracelet which I found to be heavy and clunky looking with the rivets, and now I wear it on either straps or a Staib mesh bracelet. As far as the snowflake hands, I like them a whole hell of a lot better than the boring looking Mercedes hands on the Rolex or any of the thousands of other ubiquitous look-a-likes.

I own this watch. I have owned a bunch of Rolex models. And Omegas, IWCs, Breitlings, blah blah blah. I settled on this watch as my daily because I have realized that wearing $7-$18k watches on my wrist every day is not for me. I can't relax. It seems way beyond necessary. I don't get a thrill from being the guy with the expensive watch. I don't care if others notice. I am not trying to impress dudes. I am looking for a classic style that is a financial commitment to purchase. If I use a tool all the time and love using it, I invest in buying a quality tool. The Rolex lifestyle can bite me. I find the luxury thing really pointless and tacky. The Tudor is a luxury watch but it is also a fly under the radar, impress no one watch. I wear it in peace and I enjoy the Sub-like dive styling, quality and mellow colorway with zero stress. If you love Rolex and can wear their watches without all the dissonance of value retention, Hodinkee Nation and dude one upsmanship affecting you, enjoy it! I wish I could. I know I can't. So I don't. I have a Tudor BB58. --Michael

Great review. A few points: 1) At the beginning of the video I thought the watch looked a bit small on your wrist. Then you mentioned the same later. I have a 7" wrist, and in my opinion, my BB58 fits perfectly. 2) The faux rivets do not bother me at all. 3) Like you said, the bezel is a bit tough to turn because the knurling is pretty fine, but I don't care. I put the pip at 12:00 on mine, and that's where it will stay. Like 99% of the BB58 wearing population, I'll swim with my watch, but I won't dive with it. 4) One criticism that I have, and I've never read anyone else mention it: there's a bit of a hotspot on the clasp when it's closed. Gently run your hand over the closed clasp when it's on your wrist and you'll see what I mean. All things considered, it's an outstanding watch.

Thank you. I have wanted you to take a look at Tudor. You said that you don't like the snowflake hands, I have the same problem with the hands of the rolex. I just love the angular design of the Tudor hands.

For the Bezel, just push down while turning, and it will move with ease!

Great video - incredibly beautiful photographic impressions of the wristwatch and the surrounding landscape, never seen before this way - Venice at it's best! This is really art - keep on producing ...

This is a nice watch.Was waiting 2 years for the blue to come out but when it did I still prefer the black. I think they should have included the red triangle lume pip to give it some contrast.

It's Hilarious the rivets and hand debate that comes up everytime.....There really is no shortage of watches out there why fuss? it's what makes a Tudor, personally I love the Snowflake hour hand it's incredibly legible, call me crazy but that for me makes a watch great !! Thats why I went for the BB Bronze because I'm not really a shiny jewellery wearing kinda guy. Just pick what ya like there's something out there for everyone

Love the classic simplicity of this watch. It's on the smaller side for me but wears.so well. Easy everyday wear the you can dress up or down.

Cracking content. Loved the narrative, humour and thoughts on the Tudor (cherry). Definitely going to have a look at probably the 925 version and see how that fits on my wrist.

I used to always dislike the snowflake hands of the Tudor. But I bit the bullet and bought the Blue Pelagos when they first came out. For a diver I think anyone would be hard pressed to find hands that are as legible as the snowflake. Strong lume and lots of it. They do grow on you. Then you wonder why it took so long to climb aboard the Tudor snowflake train. One short take on Tudor and I may be wrong. The "new" Tudor Watch Company began when they started building their own movements. They are a different company now. Tudors original plan was to keep pricing down by utilizing off the shelf movements. I sort of miss those days.

Great job. A few bits of feedback. 1. The wine comparison is interesting. Using Cab/Bordeaux is great for production value. Well done. Few would understand an Italian wine reference conveying the same idea. 2. Be careful about setting direction of the crown for Rolex watches. It is different among the Rolex references. Again, great job.
