Many will say thickness not an issue, but after few months down the road, many will sell it because the thickness which is quite bulky on your wrist will not be comfortable unless your wrist size is 18cm or larger.
The watch really isn't that thick. The side of the case is 1mm thicker than the Bb58. The rest is on the caseback and the domed crystal (probably around 2mm are from the crystal). I think it is a fairly normal thickness. Most divers out there are at around 13. This is basically the same without the crystal. Trust me, it wears really good and easily fits under a cuff. BUT you guys can just try them yourselves before buying if you are concerned
My initial reaction is that I should completely dislike this guy but actually, what a brilliant review you've pulled out of the hat there my friend. You've gained a new subscriber, keep up the good work. I'm awaiting a call any day now to go and collect mine so looking forward to seeing it in person.
Thank you for being our watch guide, dear Chris! We value your work tremendously. We are fundraising for my mother's colon cancer surgery; please, if you are in a position to help contribute anything you can! I appreciate you massively.
Hey Harrison, great video, gotta say I really liked it. I think aesthetically it’s a great looking watch, but feel Tudor should’ve use the casing off the bb58 I’ve a 7.2 inch wrist & can pull it off but it’s this thickness, tried it on in my local AD, and loved it it’s a shame Tudor can’t get over making slab sided watches, this is a homage to the Rolex 1655 explorer 2 , maybe they’ll make a mark2 version in the 58 size. I doubt I’ll purchase it which is a shame, gonna get a Rolex explorer 2 panda dial instead
Nice RV. I tried this on the hybrid strap but felt it looked a tad too small for me (wrist 6.75”). If it was 41mm I probably would have got it. The thickness was not an issue. Nice looking watch overall.
All the people wanting a 58 gmt with a 3 hand stack and a gmt movement, can we atleast compare this model to an equivalently priced gmt? The Longines Zulu is 14mm thick also but 42mm - sizes a lot of us out, it’s not thicker than other Tudor GMTs which is what it should be judged against. I do also take umbrage with the commentators opinion that thick watches will always get smashed up, my 58 was much more beat up than a previously owned Tudor GMT because the size and dome (even higher on the Pro) of the crystal meant it was always the first part to take the brunt of any blows. Not like I care about scratches but the idea that thicker watches catch more dings is not always the case
I’ve also tried it on. It’s well made for sure. But way too small. And too thick. The yellow is insipid not bold. Did anyone say faux rivets? It’s an easy pass.
I just wish Tudor would release BB58 GMT's. I like the design of the Pro and the GMT's but they are too thick. Maybe, I could live with it but the proportions aren't right. After this release I'm positive Tudor are not going to reduce the thickness of their watches which is a real shame
There's nothing about this watch that would make me choose it over the Tudor Pepsi GMT except the new clasp. It's almost what everyone wanted but just misses the mark I feel.
Thats coz the design looks like the homage of Rolex Steve mcqueen explorer 2 which is cool so its a completely different style/watch to a Pepsi GMT (Rolex) or Diet Pepsi (Tudor) 🤣 I agree with you most people want it but misses the mark due to the thickness. Most modern Tudor watches are just homages or has that vintage style looking thats why it doesn't stand out and not ment to stand out like the big brother (flashy) Rolex.
@@broletsgo ah I see what's happened. You think I'm talking about the Rolex Pepsi. No it's the Tudor Pepsi I refer to. Maybe I'll edit the original comment to make that clear.
@@eagles4757 cause the real "Exprorer" is truly nice compared to the other real thing (which btw would be better if Rolex brings it back to 40-41mm max). Besides, getting a new Explorer from an AD is a funny game.. The "Exprorer" is an amazing release from Tudor. Perhaps a future classic.
The only luxury watch brand with absolutely no soul have to copy everything Big Brother makes but no journalist or reviewer seems to care but every other watch maker is always accused of trying to copy Rolex.
Yeh I understand alot of folk see Tudor as a poor mans Rolex coz back in the days Tudor watches has been dreadful especially replica Submariners 🤣 ... But today Tudor to me is more about the homage of Rolex watches and kinda have its own Tudor individual spin to it. Plus not alot of folk would want to walk around with their Rolex on the wrist in public especially with todays market value so would go for Tudor the little brother as a daily beater nothing to worry about.
Normally I’d say this was the best bang for buck release of 2022….but then Longines came along with the Zulu Time…sorry Tudor, Longines has outdone you here
Was excited you finally made the Tudor BB pro review does look great 39mm is perfect for 6.5 inch wrist but ya missed out the thickness issue! Does the watch feel bulky and too chunky coz of the thickness? Just have to try it on myself but hate it when Tudor AD dont have them in stock to try on... instead pushes you to have to buy it to try it which I will never do that. Tudor and Rolex annoying strategy playing games with actual genuine customers 🙄🤦♂️ Would be amazing if you can review the new Longines Spirit Zulu Time maybe a better option to the Tudor BB pro 🤣🤔
It actually doesn't wear as thick as I thought! The domed glass and new movement makes it a little thicker though. The Zulu Time is coming soon! Make sure you turn the bell on.
@@ChisholmHunterOfficial Thanks for the reply will defo have to somehow try it on for myself when I get the chance to. Looking forward to the review of the Longines Zulu time 🤗 cant wait thanks! 👍 (liking the green/gold dial version😉)
@@commander4068 Thanks will defo try it on first before I make any decision, as I am on the hunt for a not too expensive daily work beater. Another option I am interested is the new Seiko spb297j1 diver watch although its not a GMT as long as it has the date and waterproof and not too expensive I am happy with that will wait until it comes out next month and physically try it on.
Love the 3d chunks of marker lume. First saw this type of thing on the Vertex m100 watches. It’s an interesting detail.
The best Tudor release ever made…amazing piece
Agreed!
it was released as an EXPLORER II DECADES AGO LMAO

Much appreciated!
The only video that actually made the watch look nice and perfect... not gonna buy it though ... Happy with 58
Seeing this movement here makes me hope that the date wheel issue has been fixed now at the BB GMT.

So why wouldn’t you get a BB GMT then? Seems to be the right size for you.
@@LTC_Tiger Hi Tiger, not a huge fan of 2 tone bezels
@@master_macchiato3222 Maybe a Longines Spirit Zulu might be more up your alley. Or a Glycine Airman.

Yes but with the prices of some Rolex coming down to earth, not sure if it's worth it over the Explorer 2.
it's not lol
Why are the indices for 12, 6 and 9 closer to the edge of the dial than the rest? It is only done on their GMT models.
I think this brings some symmetrie to the datewindow. I think on the GMT movement technical the dateweel is More at the outside.
Great video ..
why can´t it just be 12mm thick or some ?? Why always make something unappealing ....
I like the size of this one better. But still haven't settled on which one I will treat myself to, this or the S&G root beer.
How bout treat yourself to the EXPLORER II the real one lol

You can't accuse Tudor of copying Rolex when that was the intended purporse of the brand from day one.
Hands on?
you didn't mention whether the bracelet has those hideous faux rivots or not??
they do sadly
it is lol
Never been a fan of Tudor as I see them as a poor mans Rolex. This watch is a genuine break away for me and one I would definitely consider.
I see it more as a poorly made Rolex.
Been hearing bad experiences with Tudor more and more lately.
