The 58 is one of those watches that just works. I even like the riveted bracelet making it different from the more vcommon oyster style. I love mine and hope you’ll have a companion for life.
Yup, I've had the BB 58 Blue for a couple of years...finally got around to ordering some leather straps to change things up - still looks amazing and it's my favourite piece (but eyeballing that BB '54). Great vid!
I love this watch and its proportions and modern take on a vintage inspired diver. My favorite black bay. That blue is fantastic and especially on the aluminum bezel. The faux rivets were annoying until the watch is on wrist and they just disappear. I don’t even think about them anymore. The uncle straps half links helped out too. Just waiting for the adjustable clasp or maybe I’ll just get the steel reef adjustable link.
I saw this watch today for the first time. I went to try on a different model but fell for this one. The blue is really nice in person, lighter than I thought. I agree with what you said about the aluminium bezel insert, it suits it very well. I am saving my pennies!
Congrats! Love BB58 Blue. Near perfect watch. Tough, GADA watch that’s very accurate and flys under the radar for travel anywhere. Strap monster too. I have two other steel bracelet watches so I keep BB on a Bark and Jack NATO or a Wristbuddy rubber strap most of the time.
Thanks for the video. Nice one. However, that thing you do with the volume of the background music, don't continue with that. I think you may lose views because of it.
I felt the same way too. Fortunately, I’m finding a good fit with the current clasp. I’m not sure why they’re neglecting this line and not updating the clasp…
because absolutely everyone does exactly that... the appeal of Rolex imho ist quite a bit diminished by their abundance on peoples wrists... Id much rather have something that shows a conscient purchase of something I put interest and research into.
I have the BB58 gilt and looks and wears completely different from the Submariner. I love my Sub with its more pronounced bezel and dial, it’s just has more presence. I also love my BB58 for its more subdued attributes and smaller wearing size. They really are very different watches.
It’s a size thing for me. I have a 1655 and a 16520 which fit my wrist perfectly. I wanted a more modern dive watch to bang around a bit on vacation and day to day. I’ve owned both iterations of the modern ceramic Subs and felt they were just too heavy and bulky. Landed on the BB58 and it’s near perfect. Love that its a better strap monster than the subs too. If you are obsessed with owning a Sub because you think it’s the “real deal,” then the BB will never scratch that itch. The Tudor was the best option of any dive watch for my wrist and needs.
No big deal! I figured out that I like a more polished finished watch than a brushed finish…overall the quality of the watch was great, it was comfortable, I put a uncle Seiko half link in to get the right fit. Sold it for what I paid for it.
The Black Bay is already a classic in any size.
Love this watch hopping to get this April my first luxury watch enjoyed the video
Looks insane especially with the blue shirt! I’ve heard the ranger bracelet is an excellent upgrade

I initially wanted the Ranger bracelet so I could get the t-fit clasp and the removal of the rivets but now I prefer the stock bracelet.
@@BrokeWatchFanaticif you keep the stock end links, the 54 bracelet fits the 58 😊

Thanks! I have mine on the crown and buckle strap but I think it’s best on the bracelet.

I’m excited for steel reef products, especially their Grand Seiko. Looking forward to those.
I’m looking at the steel reef links for this BB58 and Explorer 114270. Also excited for the GS link.

You won’t regret it!
The blue one is my fav. My go to. Like it more than my sub, gmt and speedy

Thank you! It’s definitely a great all rounder.
Great tip about the half link. Nice watch 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Very nice video review

Great watch for the $! Keep up the great work man.
I appreciate it, thanks!

I love my BB58 in Blue.
Yes of course, when you can get one for 40% discount with warranty left 😊
Still my grail... hoping to pick it up this year as well! A little late, but congrats nevertheless! 😊
Thank you! I still have it!
Instant classic!
Have the same watch. It’s a great watch. Can’t go wrong with any Tudor. Rolex little brother, oh well.
I love my blue and my black 58’s. Just wish they had a date window @ 6 o’clock position. I must go to look for the date every time I wear one of them.
Same here…
Thanks for the video. Nice one. However, that thing you do with the volume of the background music, don't continue with that. I think you may lose views because of it.
Yeah, I was wondering that. I don’t take long enough breaks to make good use of that feature. Thanks 🙏
Needs on the fly clasp before I consider it.
I felt the same way too. Fortunately, I’m finding a good fit with the current clasp. I’m not sure why they’re neglecting this line and not updating the clasp…
A lot of people refer to Tudor as a poor man’s Rolex this is not the case
That’s the definition of a watch snob. They’re not good for the watch community.
Nice watch….though Tudor does not really do anything for me.
That’s fair!
Never understood the appeal of the black bay. It’s very derivative of the submariner so why not just buy “the real deal” ?

The Sub still wears a bit chunky whereas the BB58 is more true to the smaller, vintage Subs.

Very much a hype piece, I had a BB58 for about 2 months, sold it cause it’s just meh. It’s like driving a Honda, meh.
Too bad it didn’t work out!
