The Submariner is what got me into watches when younger. Was able to afford the BB58 a few years ago and haven’t wanted a Submariner any longer. Love my BB

Great show WG! To me the Tudor black bay is a 40 year old proud of there history and happy to talk to anyone who brings it up! The Sub!! Well that's someone that's had a past, only wants to look forward and doesn't want to talk about the past!!?? AM I RIGHT??? If the BB had the knurling of the sub on the bezel that would ooooffff I prefer the 60 click on a bb than a 120 sub! Bracelet, the Rolly is unbeatable! Have a lovely Sunday!!!

This is a great comparison, and it only reinforces my feeling that I massively prefer the BB58 on every level: price/value, aesthetics, materials (can’t stand ceramic), dimensions, wearing experience, and brand (I don’t love the unwanted attention Rolex brings). The only areas the Sub wins for me are movement, water resistance, and bracelet (which i never wear) but those margins are so fine they simply don’t matter to me at all. For the price, the BB58 is as close as I could image a watch getting to perfect.

I am going to give my opinion before I watch the video. I have Submariner money, I could have gotten the Rolex over the Tudor. I bought the BB58 Blue because I think it's a better watch. It's 39mm, it's a dark navy, it is not the supercase, it's not in precious metals. I think the blue sub is too big, too gaudy, too blue, and too expensive for my intended purpose. Also, people who aren't watch nerds think it's a Rolex and people who are watch nerds know what it is. Win, win,win

Maybe I am alone with this, but I actually really don't like the mercedes hands of Rolex and prefer much more the snowflake hands of the Tudor and I am not saying this, cause I own a BB 58.

It is ironic that Seiko, the king pin of dive watches, has not been more successful with GS dive references but one day that will change. As between a Tudor BB 58 and a Rolex Submariner, I would pick the Tudor as it is more in keeping with what a tool watch should be in terms of the historic values of Hans Wilsdorf.

Sub is the better watch with its iconic looks, rich history, and top build quality (ceramic bezel, glidelock, materials used and finishing ). However, the sub wears large on a lady's hand so the Tudor might look better on some smaller wrists !

Black bay 58 every day, I like the bronze too but the watch which has caught my attention is the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Bronze Great review 👍

Perhaps the Pelagos 39, although titanium is not for everyone? Greetings from Edmonton Canada! Love your channel and perspective!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Oh it definitely isn't for everyone!

Black Bay is more versatile, looks a bit more dressy and less like a toolwatch. It's a nice watch and does not attract unwanted attention in cities. However sub is iconic and a must have in the collection.

Love my Pelagos 2-liner. But can't stop looking at the BB58 925! But i'd also settle for a no-date sub. Umm, I need more wrists.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Omg I love the 925!! The silver is sooo magical!

Great video. On your BB have you ever looked at the triangle on the dial and the shield logo underneath? I have the black/gold gilt dial BB58 and I noticed that on some of the dials the triangle point doesn't align with the center prong of the shield, and on others it does. It looks like there are variations because the triangle and indices are hand applied? Once you see you can't unsee. It's interesting. It's the same with other Tudor dials too.

I’ve owned both. A Cermit and a no-date 41mm. And two BB58 blue. Prefer the BB58… So much so that I sold it (Still don’t know why). Then bought another one. Never regretted selling either Sub’.

😂👏🏻 this sounds like you’ve been on a bit of a journey with your dive watches!

Entrambi belli e particolari , il suono della lunetta del Sub è stupendo.
