Teddy, your recent video quality is still exploding!! Your shots and HUD-like infos you display around the watches you present are SO sharp! Really awesome presentation! I don't know any watch channel at the moment that is able to present a watch in such a professional way. Keep it up! All the best from Germany
I’m happy you recommend the Orient Kano Teddy, it haven’t got the love like the Kamatsu...... I truly love my burgundy one!👍🏻🤩 Great video, Teddy! 👏🏻👏🏻😃
Your lighting is aways great but the lighting on this video was exceptional! I was saving for a BB58 but Seiko released the 62mas reissue and it stole my heart.
I went to a watch shop today to see BB58 blue and black in person, and I gotta say the blue one was absolutely stunning. Initially, I was leaning towards the black over the blue one, but I changed my mind once I saw the blue one on my wrist in person. The black one was still great too though.
Walked past the Tudor AD the other day in my city and wow the blue one looks so much better in person. I was initially think bb54 but that blue bb58... I can't stop thinking about it.
Loved your video 😍! Very detailed, not to long. And well done 👍🏽 for the part you give the dimensions of the watch . Hope you get more and more watch to review .
Pure quality from your content buddy, keep it up, i’m thinking about taking it as a first watch! I love what tudor did with this one, it is hyped but it is great, quality watch.
I love the black one and will probably pick up the blue one too. This has now become tied for my second favorite diver with my 14060 (Tudor is getting much more wear time)The only thing that would beat them is the 5512/3 (which is on my maybe sometime in the future list). Tudor hit an absolute home run with this watch in both colors
Really enjoy tour content Teddy. While the BB 58 is super popular, and this color way is attractive, I’m still partial to my BB Heritage 79230 with maroon, black and gilt. It’s a beautiful combination and despite standing a tad tall, wears great on my 7” wrist. Keep up the great work.
Hi Teddy, great video as usual, good pictures and intelligent voice over. I really like that your all about content and not personality. Your presentation is top rate ,also you present a good mix of different prices and manufactures. If I was to pick one channel to watch I think there would be a strong case for yours .
I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've cherished for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and aluminium 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 in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when it's barely 35% of a Sub's retail price - go to an AD and try one on. An in-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve.... you won't be disappointed.
Just picked this watch up last week The ad called me and said she just got one in. The watch is stunning. The blue is perfect. I also have the bb gmt. It’s a nice addition to my collection
I've owned the M79030B for a couple months. I love the watch though I've found I rarely wear it. In my experience it feels much larger than the numbers would suggest. It looks fantastic and is of extremely high quality but each morning I pull a smaller watch from the winder and this beautiful piece sits idle and I just can't pinpoint why. Still it's a wonderful watch that's well worth the money. The blue is the main reason I bought this particular piece.
Great Video! Had a 16610 with a 114270, sol them both and got OG58. Super happy with it only now I want to add a 16570 polar to complement it. The blue is gorgeous as well but I prefer the more classic black and gold, something about it is more special to me than the monochromatic watches on the market. Having said that, I am tempted to pick up a blue one as well.
I bought one. I love it. I had a maxi case no date Sub. I prefer this to that. It is a fun watch. Maybe it doesn't have the gravitas of your vintage Tudor Sub, but it has vintage design cues and modern durability. Of course, I have owned other Rolex and Tudor steel sports watches and have learned the case dimensions that work best for me. We all get to our ideal size/color/brand watch on a different path. That said, I do understand why people have been critical of the new Blue. But before anyone writes it off completely, it is worth a trip to a dealer to see it in person. The color is charming. --Michael
I never liked the faux patina and gilt of the original BB58 but loved its size and wearability. Picked up the blue when offered and very happy with my purchase. Only gripe is lack of an adjustable bracelet
Hey! I know this is an old comment, but I hope you still reply. Are you referring to the lack of a micro-adjustment? I'm curious, because I'm considering one of these. Thanks!
For me the watch is just right in size. The first good mechanic watch I bought 16 years ago was the Explorer II - and now around 10 watches later I still use my Explorer II very much because of the size and the fact that the watch is so universal - which I think the 58 is as well. Plus I love wearing blue jeans and a shirt or t-shirt so the blue version would match the style. And let’s not forget the price/value here which is just amazing.
Bryan Davis Yes - been wearing it the last week. The quality of the watch is what I expected - good value for money but I have to say that finish on Rolex watches are on a higher level which is also the way it should be. I knew that I would love the size of the watch because it’s like my Explorer II. I got mine on the steel bracelet but I also ordered the fabric strap which I think will be great for summer wear. I love the fact that the watch fits so well with different straps so one can change the styling. I didn’t buy the watch to resale it but the fact that it will properly keep its value is of course not bad. The watch is very universal but I would not use it with a suit as a dress watch.....but everything els will be just fine.
Another great video! I found out that you have an interest in DIY mechanical keyboards and I would love to see a build video should the day come in your production style lol
Bought the 39 BB blue last week for my son's 34th birthday later this month. He's mentioned a preference for blue dials several times. I looked at the 41 and found it to be a bit overwhelming myself. He can always trade up for it or the black if he so chooses, but I believe he'll be very happy with this one. Enjoyed your vid, thanks.
I just turned 34 myself and am looking to buy one for myself that I found used for $2,700. Yours was a very generous and useable gift and I'm sure he's going to appreciate it for a lifetime.
I was looking out for this watch and by chance walked into a local dealer today. With the affordable Oysters (39mm being discontinued or with a waiting list of lighyears) not attainable, I asked for the 58 and the gentlement came back with this beauty. I was very surprised by the leather strap with its softtouch upper and what I though was either rubber or thin flexi leather piece on the bottom of the strap which makes this a perfect summer watch to wear. The 41mm are just too chunky and the 58 appears all so light with non steal bracelet. It was big on my list so looking forward to rocking it and hope to pass it on to my son once he is older. Love the blue/blue combo and the specs are pretty impressive.
Nice one teddy! I honestly have the same feeling that Courtney had 😂 I love everything about the watch except the hour hand that has a square ... just looks too big for me lol ... but had it’s own uniqueness ! Great video ted!
I bought mine last week and buy am I in love!! I love it all. And even prefer the snowflake hands over the big R’s Mercedes. Mine is keeping -0.30 seconds a day btw.
Great watch and great review Teddy. I wish I could find one of these somewhere. The AD's won't even order one for me. What is up with these watch companies that can't increase production to meet demand?
I’ve now owned and daily-driven my BB58 for over a year now. I must say…it’s a spectacular piece! Checks all the boxes and is incredibly accurate. Literally +/- 0 seconds. The only problem is that I now have a watch box full of pieces that seldom get worn anymore
I’ve had mine for about 3 months now & it’s an outstanding watch! The 70-hr power reserve is nice but overkill…in 3 months I haven’t taken it off my wrist for more than 8 hrs at a time!
@@chriscon8463 Better to have an overkill power reserve, than one that doesn't get the job done. For example, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 200 would literally be an amazing competitor in the $2000-$3000 price bracket of dive watches, but its 38 hr power reserve and middle-of-the-road movement is a tough ask at its price point. I feel like if a company is charging you above $2500 for a watch, it needs to either be COSC, have an extended power reserve, or both. Otherwise the value for money proposition suffers a lot imo.
@@OneLordeAnimeClipstotally agree, how on earth can extra power reserve possibly be overkill 🤷🏻♂️ I love the 80 hr on my Certina DS action 38, if I take it off on a Friday it’s still going on a Monday morning, surely every watch owner wants the most power reserve possible, one of the reasons the Quartz crisis happened was because they have (battery dependant of course) infinite power and that’s what people wanted.
@@pompeylad1977 Agreed. I got a BB54 last summer and the triple punch of the 70hr power reserve, anti-magnetic properties, and COSC certifications gives me some much needed peace of mind. Love the Certina DS Action diver, it was one of my finalists when I was considering what watch to get alongside the Tag Aquaracer 200 and Longines Hydroconquest.
@@OneLordeAnimeClips my next watch will be either the 54 or 58, I do like the Hydroconquest too, ah I’m not sure now, I think it has to be a Black Bay though, such great looking watches, I also really like the Pelagos 39 too, next watch will be my grail watch so have to choose carefully 👍🏻
Tudor's sizing is the reason I have been a fan and have two 58's in my collection. I have proportionately small wrists compared to my body and the Tudor's compliment that well. Although it could be some optical illusion of mine LOL
Gonna admit that the blue dial has that casual look unlike the black dial/gold tone which can suit a formal wear.. But that shade of blue is great. Again nice vid brother and keep it up ☺️
This is my first Tudor watch. I am in love with it. I have to say I prefer a date (no cyclops) on my watches. That’s my only issue. I also have the uncle seiko half link to get the fit right. It’s so Nice
Great review as always. I keep going back and forth on this watch and the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage B20 in Blue, or the new Blue and 18K Red Gold model (If I went Breitling, I would pick up pre-owned to come in closer to a Tudor price).
Get the Breitling. Beautifully made, great heritage, readily available, and can be had at a discount off msrp. Tudor is nice but so overhyped by the watch community.
Teddy, I have to say that you have really pulled me in with your quality content. You have a nice blend of a crisp and commercial style but you are also a real guy that doesn't ham it up for the camera visually or vocally. You are honest with your opinions and seemed to be a real straight-shooter about your own collection. I have to say, I also like the videos with your girlfriend... She seems legit and she is also, obviously, not hard on the eyes. I think it's cool that she pops into video sometimes. I definitely like the couple videos where she picks her favorite out of a group of watches. Always interesting to see what the ladies have to say and it is, almost always, the opposite of what all of us dudes are thinking and saying, LOL. anyway, I have become a big fan and I think you are doing a great job. Oh yeah, and killer work getting some of those VIPs you interviewed recently. Up and up Teddy!
Hi John-Carlos! I very much appreciate this comment. I have learned quite a bit in the past few years and had no expectation of where the channel was headed when I started when I posted the original video of my watch collection in 2017. Excited where this all continues to take me. Thanks for the support and look for more interviews in the future once all the craziness of the world hopefully dies down.
Hey Teddy, I have been watching your videos for sometime by now, and I like your videos. However, I never saw a review on VORTIC or LIV watches. It would be nice to see a video covering these two.
Just bought this watch after debating it for over a year. Used to worry it's too small or the blue is too muted. But having bought it I'm loving it more and more each day, the size is perfect on my wrist, and the blue really is deep and pop in natural light. There other thing to note is the slightly lighter silver steel colour compared to the original BB58. Really suits the watch, for the money I can't find a better driver out there
I bought the same watch about a month ago and absolutely love it, I can feel the Rolexness in it. The proportions are perfect for my wrist, hopefully I can keep this piece for a very long time, worth every penny.
This is a great comment. I saw the blue one at the AD today in person. I like it, but it does look lighter blue vs. some of the deeper blue I see in many wrist shots online. SO, I was wondering this very thing.. what does it really look like outside with the sun etc. So, your saying it does get darker.. thats good!
Probably my next timepiece. Just acquired the Tudor Chrono Reverse Panda which I love. Looking for something a little smaller for my 16.5 wrist and I think this nails it.
Teddy, I have to tell you.. I think I might have to upgrade to a gaming PC to view your videos. The quality is so high it is unfathomable to my macbook LOL Great videos! Best content available on the internet in regards to wrist watches
Just picked up this on a blue nato strap. First AD experience, so stoked. Loved the navy Tudor submariner but couldn't justify the chrono24 resale prices.
This review is great, thanks for your hard work. Just a quick question, I have the BB36 blue already, do you think getting the BB58 blue will double up?
You forgot to mention that all of the stainless steel on the original 58 is a tad darker than the stainless steel on the new Blu model. You can clearly see it when you just look at the bracelets next to each other but the blue one is a much lighter color of metal. Great review as always, and the original 58 will always be my Grail oh, that is until I find a new grail. Thanks!!
hmm that's curious and hard to believe why they would do that... i'll have a look next time in an AD. on the website they are identical, but i guess they've just been photoshopped.
I picked up mine last week and only thing I don’t like the micro-Adjustment on clasp is not as easy on models like Sub/GMT Rolex, other than that I love the watch from size and colour point I think you should get one and keep your Tudor Sub too 👍
Really think it’s awesome..... I have a 41mm blue. The 39mm just feels to small on my wrist but I love the all blue. I think Tudor knock it out the park here
Really a hard combo to beat. I do wish they’d make a version that is just steel, non faux-patina lume, and produce a version of the bracelet w no rivets.
I went my AD because I wanted to see the 54 and ended up getting the 58 Blue. I wasn’t sure what the shade I’d blue would like like in person but am glad it wasn’t the same as the Smurf. I like the snowflake hands but would like to see Tudor incorporate square and rectangular markers like they did on the Pelagos. Maybe Tudor is using style language to differentiate each model. I wear it on an Erika’s Original - a Marine Nationale strap almost seems requisite.
Are you going to make a video on the hot seiko of the moment? The spb143/spb149. I think it's one of the best watches seiko has made in years. And it seems like many others feel the same way.
I called my AD today to inquiry about purchasing this model and I was politely informed that there is a waiting list for it and they don't know when they were going to get any. I thought to myself I've heard this story before!
Hi Teddy, i'm just starting my watch collection and have been looking at Tudor as a nice entry to the space. I've been looking at Tudors models this year, specifically the Royal and the BB 58. Do you have any additional insight on which way you would recommend between the Tudor range. Thanks!
Hi Teddy! Love your channel and vids! Need your advice on the need to have (or find) half link for BB58. Tried many combinations of tricks on the existing micro adjustment holes, did not work. Not keen on nato nor leather solutions too. Any hacks you can advise please? Thank you
Sitting here interested to hear your views on this watch while wearing my own BB58 Blue. Done a couple of videos on it too. They have had issues with bezel alignment. Mine doesn't align correctly at the twelve marker. Nevertheless it's a lovely watch and one that gets the most wrist time. I had no issue getting one in fact my dealer had six in stock when I called them.
My Rolex Sub 116610 bezel doesn’t align at 12 and the cyclops is a bit wonky. It is categorically not a fake bought it from Watches of Switzerland. Not what one expects of Rolex ☹️
I think you’d be a bit crazy to sell the Tudor Submariner for the 58 Navy. Just because the T-sub is so iconic. I have the black 58 and I love it but that vintage piece is stunning!
It's the double denim version. Which is good, and great easy wearing watch. I had a Black Bay black version and is was great apart from the height to width issue that was just all wrong.
Hey Teddy, I really appreciate your work, and I especially enjoy it when you shed light on things that aren't that well known, like the grand seiko's. I was wondering if you would consider making a series about watches that aren't typically talked about on CZcams. Tbh, I'm kinda tired of Rolex, AP, Cartier, Patek Phillipe, and occasionally Vacheron Constantin. As far as I know, Rolex was made by a german in London, that moved to Switzerland only because of the war taxes, and that was more than 20 years after it's foundation. Patek was polish, Phillipe was french, Cartier is more of a jeweler than a watchmaker (that's not entirely fair, but who cares). If you could make videos about some more traditional swiss brands like Jaeger LeCoultre, Piaget, Blancpain and so on, but most importantly (and I'm baffled no one ever talks about them) Breguet. I mean, to my knowledge, they made the first ever wristwatch, they perfected the automatic watches (I think the oldest automatic watch we know is from them), they invented the tourbillon, and basically half the complications we use nowadays. Besides, they are absolutely stunning watches.
Nobody has class anymore, my friend. Your requests have fallen onto deaf ears. Enjoy your classy pieces. The rest of the population are utter scum who are easily swayed by what others are buying. Do not follow, lead. Regards, G.
@@gmshadowtraders Wow I really thought my comment had faded into oblivion. I wouldn't call the whole world scum, just happily ignorant. And btw I'm 113 000$ away from buying a Breguet, I'm just a craftsmanship and tradition enthusiast.
i am from Hong Kong, working in Japan now, a huge fan of you videos. Been saving up for a second hand Breitling Navitimer in a second hand shop, and i am almost there. I am so excited that i am going to have it and wear it on my wrist but the problem is there is no certificate for that watch. The staff said they checked it and its real, but should i still risk it or buy one that is a bit more expensive but with a certificate?
Seiko 5 SNKP21J1 is quite cool, I just found it... it is basically special for the dial which is Arabic/East Hindi numerals and Arabic day window... chrono time
What I'd REALLY like is the 2020 release Glashutte Original 39.5 SeaQ blue-dialled version. But sadly that's out of my reach financially. So I'm considering this BB58 blue as an affordable alternative.
Great review, I am currently in a position of choosing a BB58 black dial or a Rolex explorer 2 16570, do I pull the trigger on the Tudor or hold out and save for the explorer 2. I like the Tudor BB58 because it has slightly smaller dimensions and this vid is great because you kind of showcase both watches I'm interested in. I am torn. But ty for the vid.
I love this blue!!! I’ll probably end up with this, as well as the black, with guilded markers, as well, in the case. Both just jump out to me. I’ve seen both of them in person, and just can’t decide which one to buy first.
GREAT Review, speech pace, information/personal opinion ratio!🔥 58 LOOKS great (my AD cannot keep em in stock 😔). YOU WOULD BE OUTTA YOUR MIND, to let go of your Vintage Tudor... Just say "Okay, I'll keep it." and carefully step away from the ledge.
Respectfully disagree. Bezel and dial colors play important roles imho. Yes color doesnt affect the movement but I think Tudor picked the right blue for this watch which makes it a good release in my eyes.
Nathan Mawhinney I think it’s better because it doesn’t have the fauxtina (a fad that will date badly). Too small for me, but the 58 Blue Smurf is perfect for lots of guys,
Aesthetics is the only reason these luxury watches exist. Otherwise everyone would just get a $5 timex which can tell time more accurately, or just reach for their phone.
Chris, where are you located? I have one that I've bought out in a whim. I haven't worn it (was shortly offered the 126710-BLNR) and it's not sized. I refuse to part with it anything over MSRP. Let me know, I'm willing to part with it for what I paid for...at MSRP! Cheers!
Teddy, your recent video quality is still exploding!! Your shots and HUD-like infos you display around the watches you present are SO sharp! Really awesome presentation! I don't know any watch channel at the moment that is able to present a watch in such a professional way. Keep it up! All the best from Germany
I've had my BB58 for a year..its my "go to" watch for all occasions..great value, subtle & discreet 👍🇬🇧
Nice review on the Black Bay Blues. Really, you nailed this, crisp, clear, articulation. The best review I’ve seen yet. Keep up the great work.
I’m happy you recommend the Orient Kano Teddy, it haven’t got the love like the Kamatsu...... I truly love my burgundy one!👍🏻🤩 Great video, Teddy! 👏🏻👏🏻😃

Nice pick up! It is a great watch now and it will definitely hold its value and become a classic down the line. wear it in good health!
Like this level of production and presentation. Vwey good review. Thumbs up.
Looking to get one this Christmas. Great video teddy. Love your channel ❤️
I never liked the faux patina and gilt of the original BB58 but loved its size and wearability. Picked up the blue when offered and very happy with my purchase. Only gripe is lack of an adjustable bracelet
are you really happy?

I’ve now owned and daily-driven my BB58 for over a year now. I must say…it’s a spectacular piece! Checks all the boxes and is incredibly accurate. Literally +/- 0 seconds. The only problem is that I now have a watch box full of pieces that seldom get worn anymore
I’ve had mine for about 3 months now & it’s an outstanding watch! The 70-hr power reserve is nice but overkill…in 3 months I haven’t taken it off my wrist for more than 8 hrs at a time!
@@chriscon8463 Better to have an overkill power reserve, than one that doesn't get the job done. For example, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 200 would literally be an amazing competitor in the $2000-$3000 price bracket of dive watches, but its 38 hr power reserve and middle-of-the-road movement is a tough ask at its price point.
I feel like if a company is charging you above $2500 for a watch, it needs to either be COSC, have an extended power reserve, or both. Otherwise the value for money proposition suffers a lot imo.
@@OneLordeAnimeClipstotally agree, how on earth can extra power reserve possibly be overkill 🤷🏻♂️
I love the 80 hr on my Certina DS action 38, if I take it off on a Friday it’s still going on a Monday morning, surely every watch owner wants the most power reserve possible, one of the reasons the Quartz crisis happened was because they have (battery dependant of course) infinite power and that’s what people wanted.
@@pompeylad1977 Agreed. I got a BB54 last summer and the triple punch of the 70hr power reserve, anti-magnetic properties, and COSC certifications gives me some much needed peace of mind.
Love the Certina DS Action diver, it was one of my finalists when I was considering what watch to get alongside the Tag Aquaracer 200 and Longines Hydroconquest.
@@OneLordeAnimeClips my next watch will be either the 54 or 58, I do like the Hydroconquest too, ah I’m not sure now, I think it has to be a Black Bay though, such great looking watches, I also really like the Pelagos 39 too, next watch will be my grail watch so have to choose carefully 👍🏻
Tudor's sizing is the reason I have been a fan and have two 58's in my collection. I have proportionately small wrists compared to my body and the Tudor's compliment that well. Although it could be some optical illusion of mine LOL
I got my yesterday "navy blue" and; can only say that I really like it. Thinking on the black and gold.
It’s beautiful. I’m going to get the Black Bay Steel shortly with date function on the stainless steel bracelet. Love these watches.
Keep the content coming buddy. Great watch, will be selling my ETA bb blue to fund this.
Gonna admit that the blue dial has that casual look unlike the black dial/gold tone which can suit a formal wear.. But that shade of blue is great. Again nice vid brother and keep it up ☺️
This is my first Tudor watch. I am in love with it. I have to say I prefer a date (no cyclops) on my watches. That’s my only issue. I also have the uncle seiko half link to get the fit right. It’s so Nice
Great review as always. I keep going back and forth on this watch and the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage B20 in Blue, or the new Blue and 18K Red Gold model (If I went Breitling, I would pick up pre-owned to come in closer to a Tudor price).
Get the Breitling. Beautifully made, great heritage, readily available, and can be had at a discount off msrp. Tudor is nice but so overhyped by the watch community.
Teddy, I have to say that you have really pulled me in with your quality content. You have a nice blend of a crisp and commercial style but you are also a real guy that doesn't ham it up for the camera visually or vocally. You are honest with your opinions and seemed to be a real straight-shooter about your own collection. I have to say, I also like the videos with your girlfriend... She seems legit and she is also, obviously, not hard on the eyes. I think it's cool that she pops into video sometimes. I definitely like the couple videos where she picks her favorite out of a group of watches. Always interesting to see what the ladies have to say and it is, almost always, the opposite of what all of us dudes are thinking and saying, LOL. anyway, I have become a big fan and I think you are doing a great job. Oh yeah, and killer work getting some of those VIPs you interviewed recently. Up and up Teddy!
Hi John-Carlos! I very much appreciate this comment. I have learned quite a bit in the past few years and had no expectation of where the channel was headed when I started when I posted the original video of my watch collection in 2017. Excited where this all continues to take me. Thanks for the support and look for more interviews in the future once all the craziness of the world hopefully dies down.
The Tudor Submariner is very cool! I own a 58 and it’s an excellent watch. Enjoyed the video!
Hey Teddy, I have been watching your videos for sometime by now, and I like your videos. However, I never saw a review on VORTIC or LIV watches. It would be nice to see a video covering these two.
Love the review, owned my baby smurf since 1 July and wears so well, is colour wise to Tudor what hulk is to Rolex
Just bought this watch after debating it for over a year. Used to worry it's too small or the blue is too muted. But having bought it I'm loving it more and more each day, the size is perfect on my wrist, and the blue really is deep and pop in natural light. There other thing to note is the slightly lighter silver steel colour compared to the original BB58. Really suits the watch, for the money I can't find a better driver out there
I bought the same watch about a month ago and absolutely love it, I can feel the Rolexness in it. The proportions are perfect for my wrist, hopefully I can keep this piece for a very long time, worth every penny.
This is a great comment. I saw the blue one at the AD today in person. I like it, but it does look lighter blue vs. some of the deeper blue I see in many wrist shots online. SO, I was wondering this very thing.. what does it really look like outside with the sun etc. So, your saying it does get darker.. thats good!
I am now the owner of this watch! So In love with it!
@@huckinator Yeah, I love mine! Bought it end of April and still on the wrist. It's become my fav. watch of them all :-)
@@travisharrisphotography How's it holding up 10 months later?
Probably my next timepiece. Just acquired the Tudor Chrono Reverse Panda which I love. Looking for something a little smaller for my 16.5 wrist and I think this nails it.
Teddy, I have to tell you.. I think I might have to upgrade to a gaming PC to view your videos. The quality is so high it is unfathomable to my macbook LOL Great videos! Best content available on the internet in regards to wrist watches
Just picked up this on a blue nato strap. First AD experience, so stoked. Loved the navy Tudor submariner but couldn't justify the chrono24 resale prices.
This review is great, thanks for your hard work. Just a quick question, I have the BB36 blue already, do you think getting the BB58 blue will double up?
You forgot to mention that all of the stainless steel on the original 58 is a tad darker than the stainless steel on the new Blu model. You can clearly see it when you just look at the bracelets next to each other but the blue one is a much lighter color of metal. Great review as always, and the original 58 will always be my Grail oh, that is until I find a new grail. Thanks!!
hmm that's curious and hard to believe why they would do that... i'll have a look next time in an AD. on the website they are identical, but i guess they've just been photoshopped.
Nice watch, great review.
I picked up mine last week and only thing I don’t like the micro-Adjustment on clasp is not as easy on models like Sub/GMT Rolex, other than that I love the watch from size and colour point
I think you should get one and keep your Tudor Sub too 👍
I just picked up the blue face. Absolutely fantastic.
Amazing watch elegant in looks and great price , it’s a watch everybody should purchase in there collection 10/10.
Really think it’s awesome..... I have a 41mm blue. The 39mm just feels to small on my wrist but I love the all blue. I think Tudor knock it out the park here
Great review. Been looking at getting this watch already so I think this video has convinced me to go for it. Thanks … and don’t sell your sub!
got mine yesterday after 3 weeks. love it. But guys, don't pay over retail
Shout out to Howard Frum in Chicago where I got mine 🤟
Will it rise or fall in value?
@@ELLIOT1311 don't give a fuck. If I want to make money I buy stocks and not watches
@@IvanBustos you mean if you wanted to lose money, you’d buy stocks at the worst time.
got mine in Jan, shout out to my local Tourneau!
I prefer the original black dial and rose gold. I feel it's a little more flexible in terms of the types of strap options.
Really a hard combo to beat. I do wish they’d make a version that is just steel, non faux-patina lume, and produce a version of the bracelet w no rivets.
@@dirtyhipstergolf8412 thats the dream. without the gold too.
True. The original (which I have) works on virtually anything, whereas I feel the blue will work best on the bracelet.
Richard Northwood agreed. That and the BB36 are a perfect 2 watch collection IMO.
I went my AD because I wanted to see the 54 and ended up getting the 58 Blue. I wasn’t sure what the shade I’d blue would like like in person but am glad it wasn’t the same as the Smurf. I like the snowflake hands but would like to see Tudor incorporate square and rectangular markers like they did on the Pelagos. Maybe Tudor is using style language to differentiate each model. I wear it on an Erika’s Original - a Marine Nationale strap almost seems requisite.
Are you going to make a video on the hot seiko of the moment? The spb143/spb149. I think it's one of the best watches seiko has made in years. And it seems like many others feel the same way.
I called my AD today to inquiry about purchasing this model and I was politely informed that there is a waiting list for it and they don't know when they were going to get any. I thought to myself I've heard this story before!
I was able to pay MSRP for the BB58 B. I wouldn't pay the premium that is on the grey market right now. Glad to help out Teddy!
Thanks again Chris!
Hi Teddy, i'm just starting my watch collection and have been looking at Tudor as a nice entry to the space. I've been looking at Tudors models this year, specifically the Royal and the BB 58. Do you have any additional insight on which way you would recommend between the Tudor range. Thanks!
great video Theodore.
It’s a beauty it’s it Teddy! It’s still the watch that is my grail! Think the gilt dial is still better!
Hi Teddy! Love your channel and vids! Need your advice on the need to have (or find) half link for BB58. Tried many combinations of tricks on the existing micro adjustment holes, did not work. Not keen on nato nor leather solutions too. Any hacks you can advise please? Thank you
Sitting here interested to hear your views on this watch while wearing my own BB58 Blue. Done a couple of videos on it too. They have had issues with bezel alignment. Mine doesn't align correctly at the twelve marker. Nevertheless it's a lovely watch and one that gets the most wrist time. I had no issue getting one in fact my dealer had six in stock when I called them.
My Rolex Sub 116610 bezel doesn’t align at 12 and the cyclops is a bit wonky. It is categorically not a fake bought it from Watches of Switzerland. Not what one expects of Rolex ☹️
Nice vid Teddy!
I would buy this despite the faux rivets which make no sense to me. This is largely a modern watch with vintage proportions.
I think you’d be a bit crazy to sell the Tudor Submariner for the 58 Navy. Just because the T-sub is so iconic. I have the black 58 and I love it but that vintage piece is stunning!
Yes it’s the best by far of these 3
On the waiting list for the BB-GMT Pepsi
@@paulvon2378 I’m surprised by the waiting list? Where are you based?
Las Vegas, Nevada. My AD said they will have the GMT in June for $4,050.00 USD
@@paulvon2378 Ahhh fairs.
Tudor is such an excellent watch, wish they could go back to the oyster band and clasp, like their older vintage Subs
Great Watch!!!
Great review
Definitely buying this as my first “expensive” watch. Lol. Big fan of Tudor.
I just did.. bought it today, and it was my first "expensive" watch :)
MythoVirus Congrats man! :)
It's a lovely watch, am very pleased with mine, good choice
It's the double denim version. Which is good, and great easy wearing watch. I had a Black Bay black version and is was great apart from the height to width issue that was just all wrong.
Hey Teddy, I really appreciate your work, and I especially enjoy it when you shed light on things that aren't that well known, like the grand seiko's. I was wondering if you would consider making a series about watches that aren't typically talked about on CZcams. Tbh, I'm kinda tired of Rolex, AP, Cartier, Patek Phillipe, and occasionally Vacheron Constantin.
As far as I know, Rolex was made by a german in London, that moved to Switzerland only because of the war taxes, and that was more than 20 years after it's foundation. Patek was polish, Phillipe was french, Cartier is more of a jeweler than a watchmaker (that's not entirely fair, but who cares).
If you could make videos about some more traditional swiss brands like Jaeger LeCoultre, Piaget, Blancpain and so on, but most importantly (and I'm baffled no one ever talks about them) Breguet. I mean, to my knowledge, they made the first ever wristwatch, they perfected the automatic watches (I think the oldest automatic watch we know is from them), they invented the tourbillon, and basically half the complications we use nowadays. Besides, they are absolutely stunning watches.
Nobody has class anymore, my friend. Your requests have fallen onto deaf ears. Enjoy your classy pieces. The rest of the population are utter scum who are easily swayed by what others are buying. Do not follow, lead. Regards, G.
@@gmshadowtraders Wow I really thought my comment had faded into oblivion. I wouldn't call the whole world scum, just happily ignorant. And btw I'm 113 000$ away from buying a Breguet, I'm just a craftsmanship and tradition enthusiast.
Don’t sell the sub! Think less of it like overlap and more like the old and the new. They belong together in the collection. Great work!
i am from Hong Kong, working in Japan now, a huge fan of you videos.
Been saving up for a second hand Breitling Navitimer in a second hand shop, and i am almost there. I am so excited that i am going to have it and wear it on my wrist but the problem is there is no certificate for that watch. The staff said they checked it and its real, but should i still risk it or buy one that is a bit more expensive but with a certificate?
Seiko 5 SNKP21J1 is quite cool, I just found it... it is basically special for the dial which is Arabic/East Hindi numerals and Arabic day window... chrono time
What I'd REALLY like is the 2020 release Glashutte Original 39.5 SeaQ blue-dialled version. But sadly that's out of my reach financially. So I'm considering this BB58 blue as an affordable alternative.
Teddy is the only guy on the internet that brings up RADO watches
Great video Teddy! Do you think it's worth it to upgrade from an oris diver 65 to a black bay 58?
Great review, I am currently in a position of choosing a BB58 black dial or a Rolex explorer 2 16570, do I pull the trigger on the Tudor or hold out and save for the explorer 2. I like the Tudor BB58 because it has slightly smaller dimensions and this vid is great because you kind of showcase both watches I'm interested in. I am torn. But ty for the vid.
I love this blue!!! I’ll probably end up with this, as well as the black, with guilded markers, as well, in the case. Both just jump out to me. I’ve seen both of them in person, and just can’t decide which one to buy first.
GREAT Review, speech pace, information/personal opinion ratio!🔥
58 LOOKS great (my AD cannot keep em in stock 😔). YOU WOULD BE OUTTA YOUR MIND, to let go of your Vintage Tudor... Just say "Okay, I'll keep it." and carefully step away from the ledge.
To me, this watch is absolutely stunning.
Thinking about buying black version of this for my first automatic watch.
It’s a good watch because the black bay 58 is a good watch. It’s just not suddenly better because it’s blue lol.
Respectfully disagree. Bezel and dial colors play important roles imho. Yes color doesnt affect the movement but I think Tudor picked the right blue for this watch which makes it a good release in my eyes.
Nathan Mawhinney I think it’s better because it doesn’t have the fauxtina (a fad that will date badly). Too small for me, but the 58 Blue Smurf is perfect for lots of guys,
Totally agree, the colour scheme esthetics is a personal choice
Aesthetics is the only reason these luxury watches exist. Otherwise everyone would just get a $5 timex which can tell time more accurately, or just reach for their phone.
They really just need to make the 58 GMT NOW
I'll wait a few years until the price comes down. Great video as always Teddy!
I don't think price is going down on this one.
@@drgeek100 you are probably right
Chris, where are you located? I have one that I've bought out in a whim. I haven't worn it (was shortly offered the 126710-BLNR) and it's not sized. I refuse to part with it anything over MSRP.
Let me know, I'm willing to part with it for what I paid for...at MSRP!
Cheers!
@@kevinc7407 right now, I am trying to save for such a purchase, but I don't have the funds right now. Thanks for the offer though, good luck!
great review, what is your opinion on william wood watches ?
I like it but I'm holding out for the GMT in this size 😉
It’s the best Black Bay to date.
@TeddyBaldassare I love the watch but with the brown leather band. Like the one you have!!! That's a beautiful watch
The black bay design looks great on straps in my opinion.
I dismissed this watch as i have a bb58 but having seen it here i think i might add it to my list!! Oh dear!
Literally just ordered the 58 black. I like the blue but for me it seems too modern for the line. Gilt is the one for me!
just bought this watch and im glad I did
