This exact Tudor is their nicest one. I’ve been to my local AD and tried it a few times and loved it! I’ll purchase it some day! The black 41mm is the way to go! Great video!👍🏻😊✨
Ahhhh! I WAS IN THIS VIDEO!!! 😱😱🙈🙈 loved the BQ Watch Show. This BB belongs with you. Big big congrats! The 41mm is perfect for you. Big congrats O. Wear it in good health my friend.
I just bought one from my AD yesterday and wow what a watch. And you are so right on those hands glowing. I’ve never actually had a watch that did that before. Cheers
I have a 6-5/8” wrist so I went with the BB58. Absolutely thrilled with this watch. I couldn’t carry the larger BB but feel this video captures all the pros of this line of Tudors. The BB58 is what I usually reach for each day and has monopolized my wrist since I got it(passing on my Rolex Explorer2 regularly). As much as these look great and spec great on the videos and ads you need to see these in the metal and wear it to fully appreciate it’s comfort, beauty, and yes, cool factor.
Love Tudor! This is a great piece, I prefer the Red bezel just personal preference. I think it’s more unique and striking than another black bezel. Excellent pick up!
Your collection just keeps getting better and better.
Just got mine today, mostly based off this video, so far feeling the classicness & simplicity of this unadulturated design. Thanks
Went to my AD after this video and they had one! Realized why I dont like the 58, this fits so much better on larger wrist. Thanks for reminding us about this watch!
Whoa! Love the new intro soundtrack! Rocks me right Bach!!
Great review.. a true tool watch for the pure watch lover.. love this watch and the burgundy dial 41 will go down as one of the best.. many of us were born with a chunky wrist… what a perfect watch..
Totally agree - you definitely have to try a watch on to know. Tudor wasn't even on my radar till I put one on my wrist. Had no intention of buying a watch that day but I somehow walked out with a BB GMT.
I have the red bezel version. My favorite part is enjoying how the rose gold hands catch the light.
I just got myself 41mm BB a week ago for my 30th birthday. Love that watch! Totally rugged, build for purpose masculine watch. Went for a steel bezel as I'm not a fan of gilt dial/hand vintage aesthetic. Enjoy it mate ! Looks great on you.
Dang the description for a tudor wearer cracked me up multiple times. Dude you are funny.
Still the best musical intro of any channel! 🤘 loving the Tudor, not a brand I would have looked at before but I could definitely see me wearing that one, great choice, great vid 👍
At last! Someone talking sense about this watch, it's fantastic. The 58 is for the smaller wristed, don't follow the hype if you're large wristed. I see people complain about the size so choose the 58 when the have the GMT, Pelagos, breitlings, speedmasters etc. In their collection. From the side they rivets look like a bike chain and from the front, edge the bracelet beautifully. It's a class watch and my favourite in my collection 🤘
Hey Oisin,
Congratulations on another great addition to your (amazing) watch collection. At last some love for the BB Heritage 41 model.
I recently bought a BB 41 with the Blue dial and Black face on the leather strap and love the watch.
It just seems odd to me that 90% of video’s on CZcams seem to focus on the BB58 and totally ignore the 41.
For me I preferred the Blue Bezel with Matt black dial contrast to the Blue on Blue of the similar 58 variant.
Totally agree. I bought into the hype of the BB58 and didn't like it. I purchased the Black Bay 41 date steel and like it. It has the same movement as the Pelagos and I got it for $1000 less.
Bought this watch myself last year. Great looking watch, very pleased with it. Fitted my 8 inch plus wrist perfectly. Definitely should be more videos on this excellent model. 🙂
I just picked up the same watch on a bracelet. I love it, the blue bezel reminds me so much of a bond seamaster i used to own that had a slightly faded bezel. It's got that faded blue color that I think looks super sweet, it's subdued but in a good way
I have this on the black leather. I also have the blue 58, and a black 36. A Tudor for every mood: G&T and canapés - it’s the 36; wine and a nice piece of fish - it’s the 58; absolute day sesh on the Guinness, followed by a burger the size of a small family hatchback, the 41 comes out. It, just, works.
Glad to know that you try all type of luxury watches, I personally love my Tudor BB58.
Hope you’re feeling better. Super watch, some how I’ve managed to purchase 3 Tudor over the last 2 years, they are super watches for the money. Thanks for the content.
Tudor are pure class. Only snobs disrespect them. I think a pelagos would suit you too. Great channel by the way.
Sir, you are so correct on trying a watch on and not judging by photos. I never ever considered a Tudor cause I thought that it would wear like a hockey puck. Well I tried on a BB 41 burgundy and fell for it like a ton of bricks. Plus it is a beauty. I have now purchased a BB reverse panda and haven't worn my Omega 2531.80 or 2255.80 since. Bottom line, you are so correct in this era of online purchases.
I bought mine about two years ago. The red bezel version. It had been a grail of mine for a while. It's a beautiful watch. Looks like it was made for you! 😁
HaHa... at 6:28 you convinced me I need a Tudor. :) :)
Im wearing my tudor GMT today for the first time in two months. I decided to get some good ole Oisin tudor videos on as background while i take care of work today!
Nice watch, I just wish it was thinner and maybe had a date window. I like the classic and rugged look, Tudor makes some really nice stuff.
Great video Oisin. Love the Tudor brand . I own several including the bb burgundy . No other watch like it
Tudor, always simply beautiful! Very universally loved brand
Hi Oisin, I did meet you at the BQ Watches show in London. Thank you for taking some time with me. You tried my 40 Yacht-Master 'Chocolate' on.
I think you have honed the delivery style to perfection with this unboxing video, and the production quality is exquisit. It is one of my favourite video formats! I am still 'in denial' about Tudor, but you have enlightened me.
I also bumped into Paul Thorpe at the BQ show, which was a different proposition entirely as you can imagine. The guy is a force of nature! I always had him down as having 'Rolex' engraved on his head, but he was waxing lyrical about his latest AP acquisition (it was gorgeous). The Royal Oak is much prettier in the flesh, I am now a fan! You are spot on, you must try a watch on first before buying!
Yes - glidelock should be on every bracelet :) Such a great unboxing video! Brilliant.
Great to see the Tudor blackbay black 41 getting some air time again, I bought mine in 2016 when the in-house was first released and you got it in the proper black lacquer watch box, an excellent rugged watch for the slightly larger wrist, I have it these days on an Everest Moulded black rubber strap and it looks amazing and is lighter to wear, yes Tudor led me to the Rolex world but I still love my Tudors. 🏴
I have the blue bezel smiley version and I love it. Very accurate with the high spec ETA 2824. I love the contrast of the blue bezel and black dial with stark white indices and hands.
@@mikescott4008 hi Mike, I purchased it from Everest Horology products online from American, at time you had to pay the import tax but that’s changed now as they post out now from their UK Wearhouse.
My wife and I sometimes enjoy a nice Sambuca after a large meal.
As for the Tudor, I find them a fantastic watch but it seems to be the most flipped watch in recent history. I’ve enjoyed my Pelagos going on 7 years now. Great video mate.
It is a great watch. The eta smiley version will definitely shoot up in value over the years as was such a short production run of those and approximately around only 3000 of them was made. A real collectors piece. These are beautiful aswell with the in house movement.
You are spot on about the differences between Rolex and Tudor (and those who wear these brands) - I seem to find my BB58 “easier” to wear than my OP; I know it sounds daft, but I just feel more relaxed with the Tudor on my wrist for some reason (nothing to do with the price difference, etc.)
I got hands-on with a 58 and heritage at my AD in early December. The AD was convinced that BB's would receive a new bracelet this year with the T-fit clasp.
I liked how the silvered numerals on the heritage bezel popped against the gilt indices and black dial, but didn't like the big crown on the heritage.
One of the best bi-compax chronos ever, that Chrono Tudor in the beginning. Rolex was always a tool watch. No matter what the market tries to sell it as.
I recently got the heritage BB black and didn’t need any links removing to accommodate my tree trunk wrists haha. I absolutely love it!
I thought when watching your BB58 Blue vid … you ARE the guy you described! Great pickup. It’ll look even better if you scrape it about a bit. It’ll go perfectly with your vintage Harley ✊😎🥃
So, the perfect after dinner drink, a perfect cigar and a watch that could have been designed just for you... Now that's living!
I have a 7 inch wrist, and often it's smaller on cold days here in D.C. I can't take my Tudor BB Steel off. Yes, it's thick and sometimes unwieldy, but man, that's why I like it. It's fun and classy and unpretentious.
Dude I just ordered the Harrods BB41 online from Harrods and i'm pumped! I have a 7.5 inch wrist and i'm hoping it fits perfect!
@@davisprince5616 you are a lucky man. Love that green. I still have my BB steel - it’s the only one that survived my selling purge. Enjoy!
Super unboxing, bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻
You sure know how to make these watches look good with those shots! That one with the burger was hilarious though. 😂
Just this month I have bought a Tudor GMT, it’s on an aftermarket jubilee. This is after already purchasing two Rolex & a Speedmaster and I absolutely love it. Think it could be my favourite watch & I thought I’d never want anything more after my Submariner.
Wear it in good health. I have had the Tudor GMT since 2018 when it came out and I LOVE IT. It is so nice. It is robust and sturdy, but has a vintage vibe. I love it. You have great taste.
@@vianouche1 What’s that supposed to mean? Not everyone loves the standard Black Bay bracelets.
Great to see you back Oisin, hope you are well buddy!
I agree entirely .. this is the first Tudor I bought .. and it is indeed perfect. (Though got some reason today I’m wearing the Tudor GMT?!) .. and I can attest .. Tudor owners definitely have bigger genitalia than Rolex owners 😏
Well I conferred with you in a super chat, as I was between a 42 Pelagos and this watch. Like you, my 8.5 inch wrist with a nine inch knuckle can not support a current sub 40 mm Tudor. As you say, “a button” on the arm. As it happened I finally chose this 79230N because of the classic black dial enhanced by the subtle elegance of the gilt hands, and the understated sportiness of the red pip surround. The thinner wristed complain of the height of the watch, but on my wrist it isn’t as disproportionate as it is on those more diminutive watch fans. Anyway- quite pleased. The watch has been running dead on for 48 hours beating even my Tudor reverse Panda chronograph for accuracy. A GlenAllachie toast to you sir!
I picked this black bay up last weekend: I already have the Harrods edition & the burgundy iteration: having 8.25 inch wrists, these are just right up my alley & the quality & robustness is unrivalled for the money. You can also just walk in & buy one, which is always nice, but I’m not 100% convinced long term intention is for Tudor to be as available as most have been since their return.
This is the only Tudor I have and agree, perfect fit for us larger wrist folks as my sweet spot is 41/42.
I have it with the red bezel. Love it.
Never would've thought I'd hear a Breaking Bad reference on this channel but I'm all for it!! I personally love the burgundy but it's too thick on my smaller wrist so I went for the 58 Navy. But I always wondered if you get a 41 blue and replaced the bezel with the black bezel how the watch would look because it'd be all black with no gilt.
Really cool video. I find it really funny how so many people bang on about the size of the BB41. I have the BB41 S&G, and I have pretty skinny wrists, and it fits me perfectly. Comments on the thickness seem a bit overexaggerated to me. The BB58 is a lovely watch, and a fantastic option if your wrists are tiny, but the BB41 is also a great size.
I'm excited every time a new TTWC drops a video. You should have a tv show. Love Tudor, bought the Panda Chrono, class watch, wear it more than my Hulk even 👌
I owned the one with red bezel, amazing watch. A little too thick was my only issue
I had the Heritage but sold it for the 58 because of the weight. But I like that bezel better than the gilt on the 58. It's a beautiful watch. Enjoy!
Got gifted mine just before Christmas, haven't wore my Seamaster since! I'm a big wrist, big hands guy too and it fits a treat
Regards 👍🏴
Great piece! Fits your wrist well 👌
I just picked up a BB GMT and am loving it. Cheers from Detroit, Michigan, USA.
I bought mine one year ago and I love my GMT in every single way. 2 and a half years ago I bought the BB Black (41mm) and I'm really happy with it as well. Thumbs up for Tudor.
True indeed... have been wearing my piece with pride...
Lovely piece Oisin, fits you like a glove. Classic Coke indeed 👌
Jenni Elle suggests pulling open the clasp by it's bottom. Works great on mine. Good vid. Glad you found a Tudor to satisfy you. Keep at it!
Wrist Presence! Underlooked aspect of watch reviews, glad you spoke about it
Great video, have the same watch and love it
just asked the AD to put me on the list for the TUDOR BB CHRONO WHITE DIAL a few days ago . ( fingers crossed ). I have a blue pelagos , which I think is a super piece. - very nice video .- I think the tudor royal blue 41 mm - is a beauty . be safe ~ JDS/CT
Your description of the Tudor buyer was on the money but for me it’s a Harley not a triumph. I bought that watch as my first entry level luxury timepiece. Still love it and wear it a lot
Great video, I have the Tudor Black Bay/Red. Starting to desire the leather strap now.
Yes! A new video from TTTC.....
The Timeless Tudor Chanel! 😂👍
Your so correct about modern Tudor feeling slab sided. My BB36 feels like a slightly rounded off block of steel compared to the svelte curving lines of my two tone prince date. My prince dates case feels closer is every way to my 1603 Datejust than the BB36.
I LIVE FOR TTWC UNBOXINGS!
For all my fellow tree-trunk-wristed guys out there: natos make watches feel bigger! I wouldn't wear my BB58 on the bracelet but I wear it all the time on my nato. Same with my 40mm polar explorer. Perfect balance for us!
Wear it on a nato purely for comfort. Barely wear my BB58 as not bothered re it atm. Sits in a safe at bank
I have and still enjoy wearing the 79230R with the burgundy bezel
I have this exact model. Pure class!
Beautiful time piece, Love Tudor
I have the same Time piece. Great choice!!!!
Your right, at first I watch too many video about the 41 being too thick. But when I try it on it was perfect for me and suits me. The 58 was actually too small looking for me. You really got to go in and try it in person
Great choice of Tudor watch, masculine and discreet, the overall execution is nonchalant and unassuming. Really appreciate the point about the hands gleaming, it’s as if they’re emerging from a black pool.
I had a black bay 41mm blue bezel black dial. It was really a color that suited me so well. It just didn't fit me. The lug to lug length was too much for me. I looked at a picture loved it and bought it. I have 41mm watches that fit me so I was like cool no problem. Ended up getting the black BB58 instead. I was going to get the 58 in blue but it's just a little to much blue for me although it was also a stunner.
If your cigar is feeling hot usually means you’re smoking too fast or the cigar is dried out
Cannot agree more about trying the stuff on before one buys. Many instances for me have backed that up.
I still love my 79220N. ETA 2824-2 that I have always serviced myself.
The Tudor guy description got me 😂
I have the red one! Love it on my tiny wrist lol
I remember back in 1987 when i bought my Sub Date...(Brand new for under £800 lol) The thing i remember about Tudor was that they were less than half the price of Rolex and that none of them were officially certified chronometers. Today things have changed and their watches are at a much higher level.
Mine is on the way, cant wait…
Looks perfect on your wrist.
Funny. I have some scruff, old worn Levi jeans (although breaking in a couple of new pair), and have Western boots! I don’t smoke or have a motorcycle though. Wearing the BB Chrono right now.
Beautiful watch. I guess I’m going to have to start saving.
Great vlog great watch . Enjoy 😊
i have the s&g in this model its just class
Nice vid! And fits you perfectly! Smiley is the 1 to get. A future collector which has relaunched the brand: in décades purist Will say that original one was embedding the famous ETA! 🤣If possible the réd one because it has à unique red bezel.
She's thicc, no doubt.
I was on board until you got to the adjustment of the clasp. One of the best things about my 11 series Subs are the glidelock and case height while wearing long sleeves and jackets. I'd get triggered with that BB every time I put on a jacket. Same with winding a Speedy on an 8.75" wrist.
Nice vid Oisin as always. Glad you found The one.
Cool watch, great pick man
great review ..from a tudor fan boy lol hope your finally over the effects of covid ...
Harrods version is the one for me. Good pick up.
Lol the watch in the burger 🍔 👊🏼👍🏼
Oisin pumping out the content this week, great stuff. If I had the wrist for this BB I'd probably get one and stop hassling with this BB58 nonsense. But then I'd also have the wrist for a proper Seamaster or Speedy pro...
I like Rolex.. but I LOVE Tudor. I have the GMT, the North Flag and a BayTona reverse Panda. Fantastic watches and NOT a poor man’s Rolex. I only wish they would put ceramic bezel on them. The one Achilles heel (ask me how I know). Great video Oisin. Looking forward to the other presentations. I have 8 1/8 inch “troonks”. I feel your pain.
Beautiful watch, mine similar ETA Black Rose (which I heard they made not 8 months). This or that, it’s pretty knock out looks, wear and value. I switch between bracelet and black beaver or cracked finish deep brown
The ETA smiley version is trading at quite a premium right now due to the short production run, you have a collector's item :-)
that drums in the intro !!!
The bar looks like the Hard Rock off St.Marks. Yeah it’s a bad ass watch built for bar hopping and casual attire. Size looks spot on. I can also see you wearing that Omega Speedy Racing with orange accents which also has a biker vibe. Hells Angels maybe whereas the Rolex divers these days are pure city boys.
She’s a beaut! Congrats Sir!
Hi Oisin - I bought the Heritage BB without trying it on. I feel like I won the lottery.I put it on my 7 1/2 inch wrist and it stayed on for over a month. 🙂 I love that watch and it gets more wrist time than any of my other watches including my Polar II. I don’t have whiskey/tobacco/ breath but I am becoming a Tudor guy 😂.
