Thanks for the wrist shots from a reasonable distance. Too often wrists shots fill the screen, and make it difficult to get an accurate impression of how the watch wears.
Great and honest video. I had the Tudor BB In red at 41mm and found it to be a tad too large. I’ll be buying the 39mm soon. For me 39mm is the sweet spot. Thanks again man.
I am literally obsessed about this piece. The problem is that I just bought Omega SMP300 And have to wait for an excuse to buy this one. I like it even better than most Rolex models
I sold my BB Steel & Gold (41mm) and BB Bronze Blue (43mm) after only a few months simply because they were way too bulky on the wrist and didn't feel right. I now own the BB 58 and it is absolutely perfect at 39mm and much thinner. Let's hope Tudor expands on this formula this year.
This is a stunning watch which I was able to handle recently and loved it. More micro adjustments on the clasp would be good. I want to buy this watch but struggling to get hold of one from a Tudor stockist. Great video and love the quality of photography.
I absolutely agree that the color on the bezel should be half between the current guild and the original bezel color. Also, I would have bought this watch if they kept their original Tudor flower logo and the curved text.
Got this bb58 since 6 months. At first was afraid of gilt but it’s very discreet and goes well with black and red colors of this watch. Now i’m waiting for a gmt 58 :)
I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue on the steel bracelet to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've owned for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and bezel compared to the 'bling-blue' ceramic of my Omega Seamaster 300. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. The blue really pops in daylight or in well-lit rooms and a pleasure to wear. Although not quite up there with the Rolex Sub in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when barely 35% of the retail price - go to an AD and try one on. In-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve, staggering lume.... you won't be disappointed.
@@gmansplit not if you have debt, family, kids... illness... everything combined.... maybe he has other priorities? maybe he likes to travel? pretty sure there is a reason why he buys it in 5 years.
Such an awesome watch, phenomenal! I totally agree with you on the overdone guilt details, the bezel definitely needs to be more like the black one on the 41mm version. This is seriously the only thing that is holding me back from buying one, I really dislike that guilt bezel insert. Other than that, it is kind of the perfect watch for me... Hopefully, we will see new versions of the 58 in the next Baselworld.
Most of the time in pics posted by owners in watch groups etc, it's hard to tell if it's a 41 or a 39 by their wrist size. And often made harder to distinguish because the gold on the 58 bezel is not THAT prominent. Either can look silver or gold depending on the light. All that to say, it hardly clashes. If anything, the gold on the hands and dial of the 41 is more of a clash with the silver bezel text than vice versa.
Just bought one recently after scouring a lot of the east cost ADs called 5-6 states before finding one in stock and only one. Can't seem to keep it off my wrist, love it so much that and the IWC pilot watch I got.
I seriously adore this series, do you really have to stop after those 10 reviews are done? Will you continue a new one where instead of the collective value being $10,000, it will be $20,000?
Bravissimo! Belle immagini e gran bell'orologio, di perfette proporzioni, apprezzabili soprattutto con la vista di profilo su vetro, ghiera, carrure e fondello, ancora più equilibrate rispetto a quelle dei Rolex più blasonati...Eppoi che dire di quello stiloso tocco di oro rosa?
Hi great video! just curious about the Zulu Diver Rubber Strap you feature... i thought the lug width on the Black Bay 58 was 21mm but your website shows the Zulu strap as either 20mm or 22mm. Please can you clarify? thanks :)
Hi, thanks for your comment! The lug width of the Black Bay 58 is 20mm, the 20mm version of the strap has been fitted: www.watchgecko.com/zuludiver-400-rubber-watch-strap.php
If only it had a date complication, it would have been the perfect watch for me. Btw, this is an awesome series and hopefully you guys would continue something similar of this sort after this is over. Cheers...
For me it was a toss-up between the Bremont S301 and the Tudor Black Bay 58. What clinched it was the absence of a coloured band on the Tudor's winder, whereas the Bremont has one. I bought the Tudor.
I’ve had one. The things I would change are a bracelet tool free micro adjust and a ceramic bezel but for the price they are about spot on. The normal black bay is simply too tall and Tudor should redesign it.
I am planning to buy my first luxury watch and I am thinking of the omega seamaster 300, tudor bb 58 or the rolex datejust, which do you recommend? Thank you.
Benedicto García for everyday hitter I would Personally choose the tudor. Dj in my opinion is boring as hell and Every new Rich is wearing one. I don’t like the proportions of the newer seamasters. I would go with an old 36mm Maybe
I like it. Forty percent the cost of a new Rolex Submariner. I wish that Tudor would build one with capped or rolled gold similar to the two tone Rolex Submariner.

I owned a Tudor watch and i noticed that there are some tiny little scratches on the sapphire, was trying hard to ignore it for the past few months but i keep asking myself how come it is so fragile since it’s a sapphire crystal? Based on my understanding it only can be scratched by crystal (but ofcourse this statement is made by the professional, i do believed that something like a brick walls or concrete street with a certain amount of pressure applies then it will caused scratches too). Then i decided to drop by to the Rolex service centre to confirm whether it is really scratches on the sapphire glass. They took my watch in and do the checking on the spot by the Rolex certified staff and they get back to me by telling me that The sapphire glass which is used on Tudor is a lower quality comparing to the one which is used on Rolex. I was quite frustrated when she told me that and i told her that there are only 3 types of material and they are acrylic, mineral and sapphire. So if you’re telling me that if it’s not sapphire, then are you telling me that Tudor’s glass is made up of mineral? And she answered me no, it’s sapphire but not the same high quality sapphire that can be found on Rolex so it is not scratch resistant. I left with disappointment because if what they said is true i will not even buy it at all. And i keep thinking about the statement which is made by her about the different sapphire thingy, there are also 2 types of sapphire which is domed and flat sapphire but both sapphire provide the same level of scratch resistant. It seems like The glass which is used on Tudor is the same material used on Seiko, which is the hardlex glass (More scratch resistant than mineral but less than sapphire). Furthermore, i have a much more cheaper watch with sapphire for years and i have not seen a tiny little scratch on it. Just wanted to share this experience with all the watch lovers out there to ensure you will not have the same bad experience as me. And please share with me what’s your thoughts and what you would do if this happened to you?

A watch review should include the bracelet and functionality of the clasp which are an integral part of the watch. Short of the faux rivets you do not mention the bracelet at all. If someone is looking to buy a watch at this price they are interested to learn about the entire watch.
Agree 100%. I had to do additional research on the bracelet to learn if it had any type of premium clasp adjustment features (which it apparently does not).
Some of the best crystal clear video of this watch on CZcams.....well done!!
Great review! The first video with the right contrast in lighting to show off the gold guilding of the dial and bezel. Thank you!
Awesome review! Great light play revealing the true beauty of this outstanding timepiece! Well done ! 👍
Great video, amazing quality. Love the BB58 on that Black Rubber strap! 👌🏾 ✨
Very nice watch and one I will have to add to the collection. Your camera work is brilliant.
Thanks for the wrist shots from a reasonable distance. Too often wrists shots fill the screen, and make it difficult to get an accurate impression of how the watch wears.
Really nice video showing all the alternative bracelet options. Thank you!
Best watch video I’ve seen ... and I’ve seen a lot ... great job. Love this watch so much.
Great and honest video. I had the Tudor BB In red at 41mm and found it to be a tad too large. I’ll be buying the 39mm soon. For me 39mm is the sweet spot. Thanks again man.
I just bought the blue version of the BB58. Absolutely spectacular! It’s all the watch one will ever need.
You must have an amazing camera. Video quality is fantastic!

The BB58 really does just fit perfectly on the wrist, We're excited to see what Tudor does too!
Absolute stunner. Lug holes would've made it perfect, though.
Great vid, everytime I see this watch I love it
The 400 MkII looks really good. I wish I postponed buying mine a bit longer, because the new clasp looks fantastic.
HI Guys keep up the good work I love all watches and love your channel some great info and guidance 😊👍
Hi Giles, thank you. We're glad what we are doing helps. Make sure to turn on notifications to be updated when we upload a new video!
Excellent video quality and review
Glad you guys opted to go for natural-ish lighting vs using a lightbox. You get a much better impression of how the watch looks in person!
Hi Chris, thanks for the support. We aim to show the watch of the best we can!
I popped a beige Barton nato strap on my Black Bay 58 the other day. It looks absolutely superb.
Excellent review, thanks for sharing

Such a gorgeous watch! I should probably save up for one instead of buying all these more affordable watches
Jon That’s what I plan to do.
You have enough time since tudor is so damn slow producing this piece
jino y LOL
I relate.
Just got mine after 8 months. Only the 3rd delivered watch from the NYC AD i got it from.
This watch is at the top of the list for me, just wish Tudor would release different colorways soon!!
We're excited to see what Tudor brings us this year!
I hope they use this case for a non bezeled Black Bay 39. A white dial would be icing on the cake.
I have one...love it. Waited a year but well worth it
Brilliant review thanks. 🇬🇧
Got this bb58 since 6 months. At first was afraid of gilt but it’s very discreet and goes well with black and red colors of this watch.
Now i’m waiting for a gmt 58 :)
Disagree with you regarding the gilt. Suits the vintage styling well and gives the watch a rich look.
I have just bought one and yes, it is gorgeous.

My goal is to own this watch by 2024. Great review!!
We hope you smash that goal! Thank you!
Great stuff. How would you have to change to buy one outright by or before this Christmas because you could?
2024! That's a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a 3000 dollar watch!

@Alaska Steve J And the 3 people who liked my comment to be fair.
This one with the blue / black combination would be the dream
Fantastic watch and fantastic video. Love my black bay so much, a perfect watch for a normal person who can’t drop 10k on a sub.
Thank you for your kind words, we're glad to hear you love your black bay!
Awesome 58. Goose bumps👍
This watch is right here on my wrist and I didnt regconize it in this video lol. Really beautiful shots!
Tudor such an incredible brand; so much bang for your buck.
Such quality timepieces......

Where can you find this watch at the 2340gbp mentioned at the end of the review? Thank you!
Its very Nice. I also Think that the 41 mm Tudor heritage is one of the most Well made watches at every pricepoint.
Tudor offer such a great range, we totally agree!
If Tudor release this guy in red I’m sold!
REALLY!!!! for my wrist? GENIUS!!!
Just bought one recently after scouring a lot of the east cost ADs called 5-6 states before finding one in stock and only one. Can't seem to keep it off my wrist, love it so much that and the IWC pilot watch I got.
How much did you pay in total ? I’m also looking for a brand new one.
@@ricdynasty I paid retail
Sweet! The MARATHON WW194026 36MM is nice too if you like the more compact types. :)
I'm a bit late to the party, but this is a great review!
Agree wholeheartedly about the things to change. Why would they drop colour crown tubing? Fingers crossed for BB58 burgundy with one.
already waiting for that one like a tiger behind the bush ;)
You never know, it may be a very excited year!
This 58 on an Overton Opera taupe suede is the epitome of modern classic.
I seriously adore this series, do you really have to stop after those 10 reviews are done? Will you continue a new one where instead of the collective value being $10,000, it will be $20,000?
Hi Super nova! Thank you for the on-going support, We have many plans for our future content, so make sure to look forward to it.
what camera are you using for this video recording? its so clearn and nice
Tudor is amazing. It's not Rolex Jr. It's Tudor
agreed!
I had a Rolex Sub two tone. This Tudor is fabulous!!!!
A Rolex GMT or Black bay and Speedmaster?
Real choice
I just bought the BB 58 Bronze bracelet. Amazing beauty.
Any issues with wrist discoloration?
Probably the crispest videography of this watch. Gorgeous!
is the vintage Kudu strap still available in the store? i don't see it
Just an amazing watch
It really is!
Can you look at the Monta Oceanking?
I love it.
Glad to hear it!

I use a date function daily, it's why I went for the GMT.
great watch, but just too thick
and the indices on the GMT looked out of proportion they looked so small on the larger dial that's why I went for this BB58 last month.
May know what camera or which gear you using for filming?
Definitely a Grail. Nice review.
A grail for many i'm sure!

Personally, I think colored tubing could start to seem kind of cheap and gimmicky if it was on all the watches. Glad they left it off in this case
In your opinion. Do you think the 39mm is too small on the wrist ?
Dope watch, hopefully at Basel they release some more "gilt less" options
Hi Stanley, We're excited to see what Tudor brings!
If only it had a date complication, it would have been the perfect watch for me.
Btw, this is an awesome series and hopefully you guys would continue something similar of this sort after this is over. Cheers...
I agree. I got the GMT as I need a date function. Place it at 6 o clock, with a date wheel to match the dial or indices and it would be perfect.

Hi Nick, They both are beautiful pieces but we agree the 58 just sits perfectly on the wrist.
It will be mine ...... I have an Aquatico bronze... sea star ... it'll do till I can afford it..........
You can do it! let us know your thoughts, when you finally get your hands on one.
I bought it on the leather because of the rivots
If Tudor made the Black Bay Bronze in these dimensions I would rob a bank and buy one!!!!
Well you never know!
Yes - my thoughts exactly!!
I would trade my 41mm Black Bay Blue in a Heart Beat!!!
“The bezel is easy to turn..” * struggles to turn it haha... awesome watch tho!! I need it!

What specifically makes this watch particularly “dependable”?
Tpz Elf seems like basically every watch these days could be called “dependable” I guess in this case the timekeeping would be “dependable” since it’s a cosc movement?
Build quality. Similar to Rolex. With occasional service should last your lifetime I thought it was obvious
The build and interior mechanism is to a high standard.
tynan nida lol every watch will last you a lifetime with periodic servicing, especially at this price point. What makes this more dependable than other watches in its class?
Too much gilt, IMO. If they make a blue and white version (no faux patina) in the 58, I think that might sway me.
But the lack of AR!
After watching this video, i bought one. Pls dont make nice videos of these watches, my wife will kill me. Haha. I love my black bay! One of my fave in my collection.

Hi would this be too small for a 7.5 inch wrist?
The thirst for the Tudor is real.
do you think that is a safe "investment"? im interested in buy it but im'worried about a possible price drop during year
Don't look at watches as investment get stocks if you want to invest. Goodluck finding one of these. Took me 8 months
