Tudor Black Bay 58: 5 Things I wish I knew before buying

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. 👌

[@drwindsurf]

Tudor makes such an amazing clasp for the Pelagos, I have no idea why they don't us it on more of their watches.

[@FayeClegg]

Most probably because the pelagos is a true tool watch unlike a bb58. Tudor is the tool watch brand. Pelagos & P01

[@Kalmar917]

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.

[@drandoma]

The bb 58 bronze does also have a great clasp. I hope all future bb 58 watches get the new clasp.

[@sidneyt1016]

The concept of the bracelet is goo, but the look is not.

[@ErikL727]

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.

[@marvinberwart]

The full bronze BB58 comes with a new clasp with micro adjust. Hopefully, this will extend to the rest of the range in a near future. Then maybe I would consider the purchase.

[@seandavie3672]

I am a BB 58 bronze owner, and the T-Fit adjustment in the clasp is brilliant! And yes, the bronze watch is constantly changing, and will leave your wrist green on a hot humid day. I still love it though!

[@drzaius844]

@@seandavie3672 from the bracelet? I have the BBB and I don’t get any green from the case, even though the watch has quite a lot of patina.

[@KennyVo120]

Has this happened where a watch brand has offered a new clasp for people to buy through their ADs? Because id love to grab one if it happens... My bracelet is sitting in the box for the winter, leather / fabric NATO has taken its place.

[@Joellercoaster]

Uncle Seiko are selling a half-link for the BB58 OEM bracelet. It genuinely changed my relationship with the watch.

[@marvinberwart]

@@Joellercoaster a half link doesn't make the cut for me, micro adjust is just such a nice commodity, my wrist change size throughout the day and come on mate, it's 2021 and it's not like its a technical wonder whatsoever to add a micro adjust to a bracelet, especially at those price points.

[@AndreMonz]

If this had a date, it would suck! You nailed it with the black dial. Plus, it is a strap monster.

[@Iexpedite1]

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.

[@michaelkepes6125]

@Lee Eureka!! one day more

[@dieterich6533]

I definitely refer the Rhodium Yachtmaster as Whitewalker as well. I can think of no better name which instantly puts a vivid picture in my mind of that Yachtmaster.

[@2003Muse]

My AD offered me the Blue and the Black after I told him I wanted the black one. Tried them both on the wrist and the black just looks so much better! As you said, the blue is colder while the black has a warmth to it that none of the other have. Definitely the better choice.

[@charles_the_elder]

I prefer the case on the BB 58 to the Rolex. I specifically like the lack of crown guards, and the shape of the lugs. I also like the size and shape of the crown.

[@RSW552]

I own a Pelagos, the most underrated Tudor out there IMO. The BB58 is nice, but if you're looking for a true diver/tool-watch, opt for the Pelagos.

[@titi64230]

Hello , agree with you , i was trying bb 58 and pelagos this afternoon and pelagos is my choice . But i can t décide between black and blue . What colour do’you yake ?

[@derekflanderschang9654]

Would love to add it - beautiful watch. The titanium “heft” is growing on me too (it’s a superior metal to steel in so many ways but it’s hard to displace the classics). Would be a perfect complement to my 16660 👌

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

Thank you for giving the BB Heritage it’s due! It’s the perfect watch for those of us who DON’T have an itty bitty wrist.

[@mrbacchus6127]

I like the bb heritage but it is too thick and slab sided. I'd buy if they slim it down.

[@gavinBsussex]

Me too. I am 194cm and a big chap so the BB heritage just about looks right on my 19cm wrist if not slightly small. I tried on the BB58 when I bought my BB Heritage and on my wrist it was tiny. 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.

[@AnoNymous-oq4xj]

I found the BB heritage thread! The best version on BB in my opinion is the original 79220r. It's a beauty! It's not too big on my wrist. Really the only down side it the no quick adjust bracelet... I think that's a BIG issue. But if you rock the NATO or maybe after market bracelet, you would be fine.

[@gavinstratospherec453]

@Lee Yep we both had the same experience. BB58 - really nice, but too small for my wrist. BB Heritage just about right and honestly so comfortable to wear, and I have never had any problems fitting under a shirt for work either. I am looking at a 1926 41mm next ... since bang for buck, Tudor are pretty hard to beat...

[@88jwuebben]

@@gavinstratospherec453 Agreed. I posted this below: Jenni... good call at the 2:00 mark of mentioning that the BB58 could be a little small for bigger wrists. I finally got a chance to try on a BB58 yesterday after watching countless videos and reviews on it and thinking that was the watch I wanted. My wrist is somewhere between 7.0 and 7.25 inches -- so maybe above average, but not that big really. Anyway, I couldn't believe how small the BB58 looked and felt on my wrist. First impression was that it's a total no-go for me. Then I tried on the regular Black Bay Heritage (41mm) and found that size to be much better. 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. But definitely my first impression was that the 58 is, as you said, a bit "dainty."

[@andywilliams4887]

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 !

[@rmelo5932]

A day/date or a simple date window used to be a big deal for me when selecting a watch, however I now prefer a clean dial without a date window. I guess I am evolving, or at least my tastes and preferences are anyway. Really enjoy your content and I appreciate the work you do to get the watch news out there.

[@tjhudson40]

My first big watch was the Sub, and I think the black and blue BB58 are beautiful in their own right.

I bought a BB58 in black a week ago from my local AD and 😍 . I don’t mind not having a date since I have my iPhone for that. My wrist size is 5.5 inches and it feels perfect. The AD adjusted for my wrist and feels great.

[@chinwengkeong]

Had both the BB58 colours and I have to say I went the opposite direction. The Black is more photogenic, but kinda meh on wrist. The Blue is meh in photos, but is an absolute delight on wrist. 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.

Best review of the Black Bay. Thank you!

[@dannyg6592]

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.

[@LauriLaipio]

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.

[@matthew-tse]

Hey Jenni, just found your channel through this video. I really love how down-to-earth and informational, and fun your videos are.

[@themightysquid]

Have the bb58 for 2 months. It gets 95% of my wrist time. Love it! At first, I was hesitant about the no date, but after getting it, I’ve found that the date would offset the beautiful so symmetry of the dial and I wouldn’t want a date on this watch now.

[@themightysquid]

@@laarsss: True. A glide lock clasp would be great, but at least it has 3 holes in the clasp for sizing which covers another link.

[@jlyutiup]

Agreed, the black one is most captivating design. In fact, the watch in person looks much nicer than on picture or video. It really has the warmth and slight expensive look with the rose gold.

[@thethirdman225]

8:50 I agree. The blue doesn't work as well as the back with the gold and red accents. Still nice but not the same.

Considering a Tudor in lieu of a Rolex, mainly because people are getting robbed for their Rolex and i want an everyday beater. Just less stress for most of the quality.

Robbed twice (first by Rolex itself….). Got a BB58 blue dial months ago: excellent everyday watch.

[@mchoch4576]

You can't see your Tudor as a replacement watch to Rolex you won't be happy, because you ca't stop finding fault in the prefect watch, I own 2020 Tudor BB GMT & 2016 Rolex Batman So I solved that problem I purchased a Mido Ocean Star GMT (Blue) put it on a Nato Strap and honestly for a travelers GMT (where the other two are Desk GMT) it solved that issue and solved the travel issue where wearing an expensive watch could get you Robbed , Good luck and all the best in your choice.

[@erikkalifornia5182]

For me, aside from the obvious TIME complication, the date complication is by far the most useful complication a watch can offer... A rotating 60 minute bezel is better than a chronograph for me in most cases as well. It's much easier to read than your typical chrono...

[@DavidDatura]

Having a date window is a big negative for me. For the most part I really don’t like them. That the BB58 does without one is a huge positive in my case. And yeah, the original black gilt dial, steel case version is still the best. Far more warmth and “character” than most of the other variations.

[@jacobelx5841]

Completely agree with your recommendation on the black one, Jenni. The blue one is beautiful but I never understood the overhypes around it. There are many other great looking blue watches out there but nothing like the black BB58. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with getting BB58 until you can get your hands on a Sub. 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.

[@AK-jl5xt]

Far from being "too cool" I consider it a Goldilocks of a watch. Each to their own.

[@cedshred1676]

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Jenni. I was into the BB58 before trying it. I did not like the bracelet and the impossibility to quickly adjust it.

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?

[@dylvasey]

As well as the details you've mentioned there is (for me at least) a huge weight difference between the Heritage & the BB58. Try wearing a Heritage on a nato and you'll really notice it.

[@Andy5kp]

I decided on the blue BB58 over the black. I think the blue is more versatile for my style. A date window was a must for me until I started wearing automatics and rotating watches. I think the BB58 is close to being my perfect watch.

I’m really surprised you don’t mention how long the clasp is with the lack of an articulating link on the top side. It bothers me a lot and I have a 6.75” wrist, so I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that is for someone with a smaller wrist!

@@NCSWIC17 Yeah fair enough! I still have a couple of them… but I will be doing some modifying for sure.

I have the navy blue. Got in early and purchased mid July 2020 with only a 2 week wait.

Jenni! I’ll say it again: “Use the bezel as a date!”

[@Bill.C.49]

I've never even considered that, but that is a great idea! Just set mine now.

[@watchman8817]

Hmm. Now I have one more thing to remember.

[@WestCoastAce27]

Cool watch hack! 👍

[@davidmccammon1766]

Cool idea!

[@denis888red]

Use the bezel as a date? I know I must be being very obtuse in not getting this my friend but what/how do you mean?

[@masterleecs]

would hope to have your comment on BLACK BAY FIFTY-EIGHT 18K. the bezel is still matt green anodised aluminium and fades over time

[@momoz283]

Hi Jenni!! Would you mind doing a review on the black bay 36 the one with the jubilee bracelet please!

[@Lonewolf_rider]

Nice one! I take a Seiko spb 147 or SPB239👍🏻

[@davids9549]

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 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexshewan]

Okay okay, twist my arm... I guess I'll splurge xD This is my grail watch for the most part and at 5k CAD, that's no modest amount to spend in my tax bracket. Really glad to have watched this video and gain more insight. What a stunning piece!! I love the fact that you're still rocking the apple watch on the right wrist. 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.

My AD had a bunch of Tudor in stock over the weekend: the BB58 in blue & gilt dials, as well as the GMT. Finally got a chance to see all of them on my wrist. I've been wanting the gilt dial 58 for a while, but i was surprised how much i liked the GMT in person, and maybe even slightly better, than the gilt dial 58.

[@RT-jf9pp]

Good everyday beat up watch. Can’t still fathom Tudor as luxury yet

[@robc8468]

I am waiting for for a BB58 with a ceramic bezel. To me that would finally make the watch perfect.

[@informacoesbasicas272]

Hi, Jenni ... This watch Tudor BB58 is so beatutiful

[@galaga8834]

Great advice about the size. I have 7.25 inch wrists and it looked like a toy on my wrist.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Nice one Jenni! When I purchased my Pelagos LHD nearly a year ago I was shown a blue BB58 that someone ordered but decided not to purchase. That watch looked fantastic but I stepped out of the store with my Pelagos. Over the following days I did wonder if I should have gone for the BB58 as it was now sold and the country was again in lock down. A month or so later I did get a BB58 in black via an alleged online order error as these were by appointment only but with no appointments in lock down I managed to get it. I made the right choice to get the black one. The blue is great but for me the black is my preference. I completely agree that the Rolex Submariner is a totally different watch. From a personal perspective my preference is a no date watch for symmetry or if it has a date then my preferred date position is at 6 o'clock. That's why my Sub has no date. I must say that having seen the BB458 in gold it is gorgeous, I want one and it's on my list but at the price there are a few others that are above it.

[@matflucki6111]

Thank you for your discount code! I bought a BB heritage with it ! ;-)

I've got a junghans max bill from about 2006 with no date aperture so just a plain time piece although when I'm setting the time and or I'm simply sitting quietly reading and it's on my wrist I hear a very crisp and distinct *click* as if the date has trained over although it's at 8 o'clock rather than the usual 12.. So I was wondering if anybody else has a similar junghans max bill time piece story.
