I got one in Paris last 2 weeks. Was thinking of buying a black bay for ages. But the stars were just aligned that day! Beautiful city, beautiful sunny winter day, great day with family, beautiful and unique watch. Only took 15 min and almost missed our train to Amsterdam! That weekend in Paris was so lovely. And now I have a beautiful watch for that beautiful day
Congratulations on the new watch! I too, picked up the same watch from the Tudor boutique in Toronto Canada a week ago. It's funny that we share the same reasons for picking up the bronze after mulling over all the previous versions. The bronze just pops, the 3-6-9 dial makes it unique amongst other 58's, and the full bracelet + updated clasp is just a winner all around. I love my new Bronze Bay, and I am sure you will enjoy yours tremendously too.
Guys! I cannot wait to return to Australia. Hopefully the borders open back up soon. Hope you guys are staying safe. Will definitely be checking out the Tudor BB58 Bronze on my return.
Glad you love it. I saw it in person and it is very tempting. Just one thing, I know it’s close-up but I notice a little crack on the top end link right above the lume pip at 5:04.
Just had a quick look with the naked eye, no crack I can see! Anyway, I don't want to see a crack haha, so I won't be getting the loupe! Thanks for watching - Andrew
Great piece. I've loved it since first sight. My only hesitation is anytime I'd reach for my Rootie, I'd also reach for this and vice versa. Watch related stress! It does seem perfect...to me anyway. Well done.
I have the original BB58 and loved it to death. When the bronze came out, I wasn’t too sure about how the bronze will look over time. Do you plan on doing a sort of update video? That would be great. Lovely videos as always! Cheers.
@@Timeandtidewatches I'd love to see this, too. I plan on ordering one of these this week and I've been searching high and low for a solid ownership review - perhaps looking for some confirmation bias? haha Andrew - Any thoughts after owning the BB58 Bronze for a while now?
I wish there was a boutique near me in the USA. I love my Black Bay Bronze brown dial. You are correct that one must see it in person. The patina is the loveliest experience I've had with a time piece.
This is a stunning looking watch. My brother put me onto it this weekend. He's got the BB blue face on a NATO strap and it's gorgeous. I've got the Omega Seamaster 300 Tokyo edition and a Hulk but looking for a true daily wear and I'm so very tempted to order this, maybe even today.. Your voice and videos may have tipped me over the edge! Thanks
@@Dwahada it has turned into a nice dark patina, although not a gross one. My girlfriend loves it and I’ve even had another woman randomly tell me she likes my watch while she was passing by on the street.
Nice review! Great look, beautiful explorer style dial and perfect that it finally has a bracelet micro adjustment. Can you please make a video about this watch once it has patina on it? Maybe a comparison after half a year? Thx!
This video does give a good idea of the color compared to other reviews. I love my Navy Blue Black Bay 58. I managed to order this version from a boutique. When it arrived, I could not warm up to it (I tried). You need to wear mostly earth-tone clothing. It was never going to work with my blue shirts (in the videos, it's hard to understand this). Many photos make it look dark, like it would go with a wider variety of clothing. In person (in most daylight), the bezel looks like a beautiful copper, and the chocolate brown on the dial dominates it. I even tried my shirts that are camouflage green. The combination did not pop for me. I dumped this watch quickly within a day (at a significant loss). DO NOT ORDER IT ONLINE WITHOUT TRYING IT ON FIRST. It's not the bronze metal that is the problem. It's the copper/chocolate combination on the bezel and dial. More than any other Black Bay, try this on before buying.
@@Timeandtidewatches The bracelet . You can swim with it. The watch feels lighter than my Blue Black Bay 58. The problem is that the brown in the dial commands your attention. You have to really like brown a lot. You need to feel comfortable that brown looks good with your clothing (or not care). This watch will attract attention. Alone on my skin it looked good. It did not work well with clothing I wear. I was not going to enjoy it so it needed to go.
I've been wearing mine for a few weeks, certainly building patinia, but I'm finding the links of the bracelet are becoming tight, probably from paitina building up on the surfaces that need to move smoothly. Are you finding that too?
@@Timeandtidewatches I think it might not be a good subtropical summer choice, or I'll switch to the fabric strap! I am still enjoying that dial, arabics, and the yellow overall look.
Could you get your hands on the version of the Master Control JLC that is a sector dial? Been looking for one for my brother for big birthday. It's his dreamwatch. I can't find any online or much information or reviews pertaining to it. Would love a review of it. I trust you guys.
I am a bit of a Tudor collector and I am considering this time price. However, I love the colour of the watch especially the case when brand new but it will eat me up inside when it changes colour.
@@steveyrock1 the problem is getting it cleaned every month can be a chore. Hopefully in a few months time we will be able to see from channels how quickly it changes colour. We just have to wait and see, before we pull the trigger on this piece.
@@Timeandtidewatches I look forward to seeing that video. Hopefully, as we can see in tudor last few releases they have been experimenting in different metals, so therefore hopefully a full gold or red gold version. Knowing Tudor it will be aggressively priced and be much cheaper than other gold models from its competitors. Love the brown with the gold. Such a classic and cool look.
Unfortunately I can’t - I let this one go. Not because Of thé patina but because Of the tone of the all bronze everything - the dial is superb but the bracelet into case was too much for me.
They are cool watches once you got a Rolex you tend to check out what other brands out there that you want to scratch and itch. Recently got back into Omegas ❤️
Not really anymore. It's a case material. Is steel or gold a trend? I think it's outgrown trend now to just be an option. But much weirder to see a bronze bracelet.
Take a look at the close up at 5:04. Looks like a tiny fracture in the case. Hope not. Anyway enjoy your ‘Chew-dor’. Never heard it pronounced like that before. But hey. You are from a distant land.
Congratulations. You have just bought a dive watch that can't be taken to the sea, as the bronze of the case will cause accelerated galvanic corrosion to the aluminum insert. It's happened on the first Black Bay Bronze (43mm), which any 16 year old taking his basic chemistry course could have told them. But they have decided to persist with what amounts to a massive design flaw, when the obvious fix was to use a ceramic bezel.

Sir we’re in Toronto Boutique you get youre Gorgeous Tudor Bronze! Thank you

Ive been in touch with the Tudor boutique in Toronto and hopefully ill make the cut for getting this watch. We'll see.

Can you do an update on the patina of this watch and what your thoughts are 1 year in?

Got mine today from Dubai boutique 😍🔥
Just collected mine from the boutique in London. Absolutely gorgeous piece.
I wish there was a boutique near me in the USA. I love my Black Bay Bronze brown dial. You are correct that one must see it in person. The patina is the loveliest experience I've had with a time piece.
Beautiful pickup. I wish they'd do a 58 red exactly as the regular bb red
Oooh, imagine a red bezel on bronze with tropical black dial 🍷
Nice move! love the new style Tudor is following.
The 58 is the business, as comfortable on wrist as an Oyster case - the ultimate compliment.
That's a beautiful Tudor in the bronze alloy. Would be interested in a long term verdict on the patina over a year or more of wear.
It will happen John, thanks for watching - Andrew
Beautiful looking watch!

This is gonna be my second bronze watch. I love them so much I am thinking to make a small collection out of them.
Yes, there's something awesome about the warmth of bronze.
How has the first one progressed over time ?
@@Dwahada it has turned into a nice dark patina, although not a gross one. My girlfriend loves it and I’ve even had another woman randomly tell me she likes my watch while she was passing by on the street.

Great video!!
Great watch!!!!
Great comment! Thanks for watching
I’m going to wait to see what it looks like in a year
Bronze patina just doesn't do it for me. Bell and Ross have the only bronze watch I like, the alloy doesn't patina.
Any update on the colour change/ patina soon? Any tips to clean it to the original colour?

All fair comments - I would like to try it on leather to see how that goes - the bracelet really amps the golden tones.

It’s gorgeous. Enjoy!
It’s a gorgeous piece!
It reminds me somewhat of the brown dial gold Rolex day-date. Congrats mate! 🤝
Mate. Thanks a lot! Watch and owner pretty happy I'd say. Thanks for watching - Andrew
Excellent video. Thank you
2 questions: will you bring in the sea?
Is your skin turning 'green' with contact with the bracelet?
No, thank you. Answers: yes, absolutely I will be. Stay tuned. Not at all, yet. Maybe in summer, with sweat, we’ll see!
I've been wearing mine for a few weeks, certainly building patinia, but I'm finding the links of the bracelet are becoming tight, probably from paitina building up on the surfaces that need to move smoothly. Are you finding that too?
Not yet Sean, but it's cold and dry in Melbourne at the moment, not much patina or buildup yet....
@@Timeandtidewatches I think it might not be a good subtropical summer choice, or I'll switch to the fabric strap! I am still enjoying that dial, arabics, and the yellow overall look.
Looks magic mate. Great pick up.

Loved point 5
Great piece. The patina still puts me off however.
Another one for the shopping list🙏❤️😂
Congrats to you! So interested in how this model ages! Best of luck with it.
Omg congrats I was at the tudor store yesterday and they put me down on (Wishlist) lol. I got to try it out and now I wanted even more.😅
I am a bit of a Tudor collector and I am considering this time price. However, I love the colour of the watch especially the case when brand new but it will eat me up inside when it changes colour.
I feel the same way. I was told you can clean it once a month and bring it back to it's original look.
We’ll be updating this video in 6 months, check back then.

do you regret this purchase?
among other bronze watches, tudor is the best in terms of looks and its bronze bracelet
RIP white dress shirt 😂😂😂
Oh snap, I knew someone would notice my untidy rollup :(((( Not a dress shirt though, thanks for watching - Andrew
He means the green oxidation the watch will leave fam
Haha, JK, great watch and enjoy👍
#reason5 is the best!
Every damn time 🤦🏼♂️
I would happily purchase one, if, the watch didn’t Patina
Stay tuned, we’ll be updating 👌🏻
Lovely watch and thanks for your honest opinions 🙏👍👏
I’ll have to see it before having an opinion
Fair enough, always wise.
Please keep us updated on patina. The warmth of the case is gorgeous and I'm a sucker for quadrant numerals. Enjoy brother!
6 month video locked in - appreciated ✊🏼
"Tudoor" 😂 Nice watch though and a great video
Hey, we can't help the accent 😂 Thanks for watching, and ps, it's Chew Door 🐨
@@Timeandtidewatches try chew da, then you’re Golden. I have the 58 blue and love it. I love the bronze version.
please show us how the metal patinas during normal wear
How about a patina up
date?
Andrew is in Switzerland and away from the watch unfortunately

Spezzatura Gate!
I can relate to your last point.
That’s what watches are essentially for - birthdays, weddings, moments 🤟🏻
Ok if you want green wrists
Fair cop, but hasn't happened yet - keeping you all posted on this - Andrew

Who takes a dive watch to dive nowadays? 😂
arent you gonna get blue/green skin from this?
Not yet, keen to see how it goes in summer - currently winter.
Won’t the whole watch n bracelet be jaded pretty soon? What then?
We will see 👀

too bad this is not in the US. it sucks.
You're going to bang your watch? Ummmmmm...
Sorry mate. Tudor sucks. It is a wannabe Rolex or at best Rolex Jr. Better off putting the money into an Omega.
Thankfully not everyone is a follower of generic hype, you seem like a 'wannabe' yourself.
Less of your face and more of the watch
Bronze lmao. Get on your bike mate.
Looks ugly with patina.
