- Thanks Jeff for sharing your clean bb58.
Tudor has a massive hit with this model, please expand on this thing.
here is my amazon link for the screwdriver used (I can earn money if you shop via my links)

Tudor is so much more than the "entry level Rolex". Great watches in their own right.
So true. Got my bb58 3 weeks ago and haven’t wore my Rolex since.
This is probably my “grail” watch. I hope I can get one of these in the future.
Just purchased one a couple of weeks ago, well worthy of being a frail watch, it is even better in the hand.
@@jamesreid2651 Dang, I envy you ! I bet it does.
A great choice for a grail. I have flipped a couple more expensive watches that I thought I was going to like more. I consider it a perfect watch...Not the only perfect watch… But there are not many that I would say that about. I really don’t like the larger tudors...Because they’re slab sided They were larger than the dimensions would suggest. I’ve got a thick wrist...Over 7 1/2 inches but I think this one would wear perfect for 6 3/4 and up… The 41 1/2 size tudor Felt more like one of my 43 mm divers...Which are fine for a tool dive watch… But not what I want from the couple of luxury watches that I’m lucky enough to own! Cheers
I purchased this about 6 months ago. I just sold my last watch in my collection this week and am now a one watch guy with this baby (I do still have my first watch for sentimental reasons from when I was a kid. A Quartz accurist.) this watch is all I need. Just feels right.
you still on one watch?
Haha, funny story, I flipped it to buy a 214270 that came available at retail which is my grail watch, but I am on a waiting list at my AD to repurchase the 58. Expected deliver is in September. Funny how things change after a year as a watch hobbyist…
I just got mine and selling off a lot of my collection is my next endeavor. I’ll still keep about a dozen that I like but after this watch, it’s hard to wear another. You’re so right about this being a one watch collection. Had it 3 weeks and wore it 99% of the time.
@@themightysquid I got my second one about 2 months ago, wear it every day.
@@gid-vicious : when it came out I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just buying into the hype. But after 2 years of watching, it wasn’t a reflex buy. I still really like it for what it is. My 16570 hasn’t been worn for the past 3 weeks.
Totally agree, they need to expand this range, would also love to see them do a smaller version of the GMT. I think it would sell like crazy!
"The action on it is..." *Pop* *Pop*
.....
"Pleasurable" That was awesome hahaha
Two years ago my AD only had the nylon or leather strap version, so I waited and I just got my steel 3 weeks ago. Monopolizing major wrist time. Super comfortable, looks fantastic, and timing is spot on the atomic clock after days of use.The rose tone accents give this watch such a soothing and attractive look I keep forgetting to actually read the time when I look at it. You must see and feel this in the metal to appreciate it. It’ll be very hard to pick another from your collection to wear. Like Rob said, if you’ve been eyeing this watch for a while just get it.
Yes! You have a great watch, wear it well.
Fellow Michigander here! Love your channel, Rob, and I love this watch! The BB58 definitely has the "IT" factor!
Love these. They offer a lot of style and quality at a good price for sure.
Bought one for my son for his graduation. I occasionally look it with small envy, it looks so good.
Simply stunning watch. Thanks for sharing again!
What am I waiting for? More $$! But seriously this is a grail of mine. Love the dimensions, love the look. To me it’s a perfect fitting, luxurious, masculine, tool watch.
And it will not disappoint you.
The action on it is.......pleasurable
Last time I spoke to my AD manager (Canterbury, UK) he said Tudor said they had 4 big things for Baselworld 2020; 3 medium releases and one big one. I imagine that may be new versions (colours, date etc) on the BB58, and a new watch release. I agree, no reason to wait until next year now as Baselworld is dead and the online game is on. PS, I always have to check the hourly chime signal when watching your videos when I’m wearing one of my G-Shocks!! Yours are always speaking up!! 😁👍
I am super jonesing for the Tudor BB! Love that watch soooo much
Have the blue one and love it!! So comfortable. And quite a looker. I was first not sure about the size - as I usually wear bigger watches but it works well.
If I saved for a couple years I might be able to afford one of these! I have a Bulova that looks like they made it to look like one of of these. It wears so nice! Great video as always Rob!!!
2 years later, did you ever end up saving and purchasing it?
All I'm waiting for is its arrival in the mail. Very excited.
Omega needs to do a smp300 in 39mm too. That would be straight perfection
I have the older ceramic 36mm. Fits me perfectly.
And remove the helium escape valve
I owned the new SMPc. Sold it for the bb58. I still like the SMP better, but it just didn’t work for my wrist size. I would buy a 39mm SMP in a heart beat. Considering the new one has been made larger, I think they should do it.
Exactly! Sadly, they seem to be headed in the opposite direction.
Going to pick one up in the coming week, I cant wait!
Have one and love it, got to be the best watch in my collection closely followed by my BB GMT (bar the date issue i had with it). Geat video :)
Thanks for the great review… Or should I say re-review…I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist and it’s by no means too small! It’s really the perfect size for most wrists. I’m glad you pointed out all the great things about the clasp. It’s my favorite clasp on any watch that I have (and I’ve got too many). Picked mine up on the gray market(trusted seller) for $3200. The Rolex Explorer and this one are, in my opinion, The best watches that you can have in their Respective price ranges
I'm waiting for lockdown to end, genuinely have this on hold at ad
Hello. This review helped me make a decision about this watch. I was at my local AD and I saw one in stock. I pulled the trigger, and I'm glad I did. I thought it would be small since I'm used to my SMP300 and Avenger. I was wrong. It is very satisfying to wear, and the action is smooth. The watch is not perfect, but it’s perfect for me.
Good choice!
Probably one of the most hyped watches in the last decade but I have only seen one out in the wild! Torn between this or the BB54.
Thanks Rob!
Love this but I'm also holding out for a non-gilt bezel version myself, a regular Black Bay only scaled down would be perfect
Mine is running at worse -0.50 spd and at best flat 0.00 spd. What an amazing watch. It is worth every penny I spent
It will end up in my collection for sure.... i think this year.... 🙂
Wish the Seamaster was available in similar dimensions.
Great job and nice review
I love how you talk about them needing to come out with more variations. Now there's way too many. haha.
I own the white dial Seamaster and now i am on the waiting list for the black 58.
You predicted the future man!
This is a great watch no doubt .... From swiss i will pick todur for sure ! :) Next model they can put ceramic lumed bezel will upgrade the watch a lot !
Shortage of BB58s at the moment. Still waiting for mine, 4 months now. Waited a month for the GMT which I’m collecting tomorrow!
I’m waiting for an extra $3,400 to appear in my bank account lol
I've been thinking of the black bay 41 (the non diver model) for ages now as I don't think I would ever need a dive watch or use the bezel, but for the small difference in money I feel like the BB58 would be the wiser choice. Especially with the inhouse movement and power reserve of the 58.
Beautiful watch. Unfortunately, too small for my wrist. I have the 41mm version. I absolutely love it.
I don't even care that it has snowflake-hands ... as far as I'm concerned, this one is pretty damn close to being a perfect dive-watch. Just gorgeous.
Look up the Nth Barracuda in vintage black. You can find them for around $500, I think they’re just as cool. Still I would love a 58 if I had the scratch
It really is damned near perfect, love mine so much.
I think the Tudor looks quite nice on the wrist even though its only a 39mm. 👍🏻
Awesome watch. I love my North Flag, now my main go-to watch.
Always fancied the North Flag - just couldn't warm to the lugs.
Love it!
Been saving up for one of these.
Did you save enough yet
I was going to buy one of these until they shut pretty much everything down from the C virus. I have a 6.8-inch wrist and it fits me just fine. Thinner and lighter than the traditional black bay 41mm Both of us are out of work and just can't justify the risk the cases getting more and more every day in my county I don't see it leveling off. Todays new cases are double of yesterday. This watch is far better than the Omega Seamaster which I can't stand to be honest. Mainly the size. It's a great watch, a friend let me try it on. No AD's open in my state as all malls are closed. Unless they go online which I hope they do so they don't go out of business. The nearest AD for Tudor is in Baltimore Maryland a good 90 miles from here. I hope things will improve with the hot weather coming. Tudor tends to flood the market. I am hoping these will get near the 2000 dollar range like the black bay 41mm used. I have a feeling it will not go below 3k.
I’m waiting for one to actually be in stock at an AD! Can’t find them anywhere but grey market for basically the same price new!
The perfect tool watch
In regards to Bezel action, I have a Tutima di 300 and despite it being a Titanium case, the feel and click of the bezel is very similar.
The great hype of 2019 has crept its way into 2020...🙄. I still appreciate your take on it though, thanks!
The fact that you like watches over 40 mm is the reason your one of the main watch channels I watch. Was so tired of hearing every watch should be a 37-38 on other channels.
i wish the sides weren't so tall/flat. i like the red triangle on the bezel and lack of crown guards. looks like a big crown sub.
I'm leaning towards this and a white 300m Omega as my only two watches.
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.
I have the 58 and looking for a white dial for contrast. Torn between the OP and the SMP, both you have/had. What would your pick be out of the two?
Omega all he way, thank you.
I really like the 58's
Almost a perfect diver watch but I´m waiting for ceramic, non gilt dial, and date included. Ty Rob the video!
yeah it blows me away they don't spend more energy on this line. the bb58 is so good.
You would basically change everything that makes this watch different though.
D M for me needs those changes. Right now is almost a perfect watch for most of the ppl. The black bay line can do more in my opinion. What do you think?
I have the BB58 and Pelagos LHD.. Love my Tudor way much better then my Rolex.
I need this watch in my life.
you bought it?
@@Paybackficker I got the heritage 41mm
Great review, love the watch Rob! I have a wrist size between 7.25-7.5. My fear since I can't just go in and try one on is that it will be a bit small, am I better off going with the standard BB with 41mm case? I realize getting the 41mm under a cuff will more than likely not happen, but any and all thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
Very nice watch
I own a BB41(non diver bezel) and LOVE it but, if there had been a 58 at the AD it would have been a no brainer. As close to a perfect watch as there is imho.
Tudor Black Bays are the price the Rolex Submariner should be at for what your actually getting
So, I guess that makes the Black bay overpriced!
@@jaime4022 🤣🤣
I don’t think that is true, I own both. The Black Bay 58 is tremendous value at this price, but there is no way in the world you are going to get a watch of the quality & specification of the submariner at this price point, even the Omega Seamaster 300 is 2k more. The Submariner at retail is fairly priced if you can get it because people are paying almost double-retail for it on the used market so you can’t say it is overpriced, not at all. If you can’t afford it at the retail price that’s a whole other thing.
@2:06 WIHA is great for small screwdrivers - made in Germany - a 7 piece set is approx $24. Now that's great value for money!
Where I can get those? Link please
I am wondering where is your Sinn 104 Blue LE at this moment? Looking for its review.
Great video on black bay 58, can’t find screw driver on amazon can u send link please
These is excellent condition , boxed and papers are now ONLY getting £1650 offers from LOndon dealers if you want to sell to them.
My dream watch! I will come back and edit this comment when I can finally afford one! Hope I can afford it in my late 20's.
Rob, would you still pick the seamaster over the black bay?
I'd love to have a Tudor Black Bay , think size and look is perfect the only downside is the price
Come on Rob. That size is just perfect for your arm!
September to mark my upcoming promotion - the wait is killing me 😩
A new version?
You've got it right! It's the perfect watch. That's not faux patina either.
Do you know that you can track the date with that bezel? In surviving situation
I look at this watch and feel nothing, yet because so many people praise it ALL the time I sometimes question my tastes LOL
Then I look at my planet ocean and know I made the right choice!
Waiting for sinn U50 with bracelet! 🤠
Closest I’ve seen to the perfect watch 👌🏽
Been on the wait list for 6 months at my AD ...😳
Buy online
Go to Jomashop , they sell brand new for around retail price and often have 1-2 in stock.
venrocking been looking for one to. Don’t mind paying premium price, but to be honest I’m kinda scared buying from Jomashop
I will wait to see what Tudor will release next time with this BB58 size.
I’m waiting for it to be neither blue nor gilded. How about just black dial with silver? Or white dial with black bezel?🙂
It's not a 'full polish' as you state - the case edge between the lugs (exposed if you don't wear it on the bracelet) is unpolished, which is a pity.
Agreed the proportions are perfect, and the bezel action is great.
I'd be happier if the shade of gold (yellow) on the hands matched the gold on the rest of the watch (rose) but that's my only gripe. I love my BB58 and wear it a lot. It's become my go-to outdoor watch. So good on a Nato.
BB58 is a very good price value option. Available at the local AD. The GMT is also available. Service stinks.😎
I wouldn't say no to a ceramic bezel and a date at 6. Looks great on wrist.
As long as it's not a stupid cyclops
See I don't think ceramic fits the look here. Aluminum is vintage and warm looking, fits the watch better.
Definitely needs a date option
A date does not belong on a vintage inspired diver
I love Tudor, I have own my BB58 GMT Pepsi 41mm for about 1 1/2 year and BB58 39mm Black Bezel/Dial with Gold Indices. Very accurate, built rugged but yet it has that Retro vibe with modern day materials!! I’ve own a lot of divers and I have to say it’s worth the penny! Why did you sell your Tudor BB58 if you like it so much?
Thanks for the review. Jomashop has this watch for sale, this exact model for $3799. For me, I prefer that Seamaster.
Nice. But not so keen on the step tapering and rivets on the bracelet. Personally I think the CW dartmouth in black is the perfect retro diver. And easier to get, with a nicer case than the BB58.
I WANT one bad!!
Been saving for one but now the Sinn U50 has landed.. What to do?
Get the Sinn t2
Anyone with this watch find the side of the watch marks too easily? Did tudor use a softer steel on the BB58? I have a ding mark on my when I leaned over to pick something up off the ground and it got caught by the pendant I was wearing / falling out of my shirt (and another ding mark when I tapped it with my pendant because I couldn't believe it could actually the watch 😂).
It's possible, but if it's a softer steel it'll also polish out more easily.
Tudor should be using the glide lock
Waiting to recoup somehow the several months of income i've lost this year due to covid19 lol.
This one is a very nice watch indeed however. The right size.
I've been eyeing for the Seamaster and it's exactly the same variation that you are holding onto.
I also like the BB 58 as well.
Which is more worth it?
I like the Omega but I like the Tudor size 🥲
Which one did you buy ? I am choosing between same models
If they plopped Pelagos indicies on the dial that would be sweeeeet
I really hope that Tudor brings out some new Hand Sets. Something other than that Snowflake hour hand. I mean, would it kill them to have Sword Hands? Or their Pencil-style hands, just beefed up??
Umm... yes it would kill them, Rolex wouldn't have it lol. I've said for years the stupid snowfkake hands need to go
You could always have one customized and replace the hands.
In waiting for one wit a date then I'm all in
I love my BB but the BB53 looks fantastic 😊👍
Date at the 3'O'Clock u rich A-Hole, its a CLASSIC!
I still think the ETA Black bezel is the way to go. The watch that put Tudor back on the map in the US, rose + happy face, more limited production + discontinued. Cool watch but I don't see any reason to upgrade.
Was all set to get this but now they release the new pelagos. I'm sadge again :(
I have been tempted by the BB58 for months, but I’m afraid that if I pull the trigger I’ll regret not going for a Submariner 114060 instead. So I guess for me it’s best to wait and save up for the bigger brother :) anyway, nice video Rob, always enjoy your clear and honest reviews. Greetings from Finland
Speaking from experience, nothing will fill the hole for the watch you truly want. Keep saving, it will be well worth it!
Yeah - go for the one you really want otherwise you'll always be wondering if you should have got it...
It’s a good watch. You get your money’s worth. But I’d much rather spend the extra cash and get a Planet Ocean.
