Not struggling here, Pro with the MT5652 GMT function for almost the same price as the 58 is a no brainer.
Impossible to disagree, Truman... 👍🙂
I purchased the Pro several months back and I love it. I have a 7 inch wrist so the thickness doesn't really bother me. One of the main reasons I chose the Pro over the BB58 was the T-fit clasp. That clasp makes a world of difference. I would hold off on picking up the current 58. I believe Tudor will release an updated 58 next year with the T-fit clasp and possibly a few more upgrades. Great video and great comparison.
Do you think a 7.75 wrist would be too big?
@@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000 No I don't. I think it's a perfect fit maybe because of it being a bit thicker IMO. If you are used to wearing much larger watches you may think that. But once you put it on and wear it for a few days you'll see how great it fits.
@@mrlex4725 thanks. I'm going to look at one on Saturday, I actually like the idea of a thicker watch, so fingers crossed.
You where right!
You were almost spot on with your prediction. I think the BB58 still has the usual clasp but the 54 has the T-fit.
after seeing BB Pro for the first time in person, it took me 3,5 seconds to decide to buy it. In 10 minutes was walking out of the store with it on my wrist. I have a 6.75 wrist and trust me, the thickness is not noticeable on hand. It sits neatly, does not wobble around, and overall it's a very sleek looking watch.
I’ve got a pro on the way to me can’t wait
I looked at them both and decided on the BB58 BLUE version. Extremely happy with my choice!
The Pro is definitely the one to get.
I owned the BB58 a couple of years ago and ended up selling it because I'm just not a fan of the gilt coloring. Recently purchased a BB Pro and absolutely love it! I was afraid from the specs that it was going to be too thick, but I don't even notice the thickness on the wrist.
BB58 blue, perfect specs and unique. Can’t beat the blue on steel.
Excellent video of 2 excellent watches. I have a BB58 and can vouch for its many positive qualities. The watch I'm wearing today is a BB GMT. That MT5652 takes no prisoners.... it has been developed into a superb movement. I'm frustrated by the lack of date function on the 58, but otherwise this is probably the best watch in production right now. I absolutely adore the aesthetic of the Pro. The thickness isn't an issue for me, and I like GMT watches. My choice is the Pro, although most people with an open mind will find it hard to choose...
I've both but if I never had them and I could only choose one, I choose the BB58. It's slimmer and more versatile, and I have more use of a diver watch than a gmt watch. But if one can afford, it's better to get both as both are very different watches and can complement each other in a watch collection.
I’m picking the pro.. just stands out of the crowd, love it!
I'm literally watching this video again to try and make my own mind up! so difficult 😂
odd comparison. like comparing a no date sub and Explorer II. Get both along with an Explorer 1 and you are done!
I went for a navy BB58, slimmer on the wrist and without the faux patina and gilt look of the black.
Easy. The gmt movement has a higher rate of failure. Plus is thicker. The 58 is timeless. Plus I kinda prefer the bbay gmt as the chunkier thickness of the gmt movement is less obvious in the slightly bigger case.
The bb58 is hands down the best wearing watch I've ever experienced.
Both great tho.
You really need to try the Sinn U50. It's my most comfortable watch, and probably the most capable, too....
When and if BB58 comes with the updated clasp plus sliver accents instead of golden ones, then BB58. Until then, BBPro is a solid choice.
I just sat down with both and agonized over the my decision. In the end I went with the pro. The more pronounced feeling of the pro along with the adjustable clasp on my 7 inch wrist sealed the deal. Although they are both gorgeous looking watches the pro won me over in the end. My next visit will be the BB 58 vs the 41mm Heritage. This will also be torture I’m sure.
got a BB58 and 5 digit Polar. Done
I own them both and I love them dearly. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Pro GMT for sure, but I love them both. I’d rather have 2 or 3 Tudors than 1 Rolex at the moment. I love everything Tudor is doing.
Great video but you forgot to mention the differences in the clasps! The bb pro has the uber useful t fit adjustment system 😎 🙌
The PRO is just way too thick! tried them yesterday and chose the BB58 black. My Dad chose the blue BB58 spontaniously, so we both now have a BB58 and can swap them every time we want to wear the different colored version :D
Th thickness police r funny. Never understood when that became a thing. Panerai, IWC & company would be out of business as a result.
@@Geniusclicks It's just preference dude. Some people like thin watches, that's all there is to it.
@Pike Fish 🤦🏻♂️ should tell that my father, who’s also owning bigger watches like a Royal Oak Offshore or a Luminor or a Sea Dweller. He loves his bb58 and it fits him perfectly
@Pike Fish how inventive you are. You remind me of a protozoan
No @Pike Fish
No wrong answers here. 2 incredible watches. I went for the BBP as I am living abroad and like to track UK time for calling friends and family - and because it's sexy AF, I absolutely love it 🙌
My man Harrison killing it once again and showing off those 💪
Keep up the amazing work guys!
My man! Thank you.
My choice is the 58
I have the blue omega smp 300m Diver cuz that's the go-to diver in my opinion, with the bond connection, wave dial, and a date all for around 5K USD. I also have the Pro as my gmt watch. I am always in the camp of needing a date in a tool watch, and the Pro can go the same depth as the 58. Therefore in my humble but biased opinion, I'd choose the pro over the 58.
One's wearable, the other's a chonk. I think the choice is easy for the small wrist gang.
Actually love them both but the BB58 OG edges it for me. The contest would be closer if the Pro was same thickness as the 58…
My preference is for the Black Bay 58.
I like the looks of the 58 better, but don’t need another dive watch at this time. I’m going to try on the Pro, currently in the market for a daily driver/adventure watch. I live at the beach, so wanted something with a screw down crown, date, and was field or adventure oriented, this checks the boxes and I love the GMT
I'll take one of each. 🤣
They are different enough, to have both in the collection
Agreed! Can't go wrong with Tudor.
Just get both! And that is what I did exactly, for me they are two very different watches as one is a diver and the other one a GMT.
I was debating the pro vs the bronze bb58 a month ago. It was a super tough decision but I ultimately went with the bronze bb58. About 3 months ago I knew my next watch was either going to be something with a gmt function or a bronze watch. I had made up my mind and told myself I was gonna get the bronze bb58 as my next watch. But a buddy of mine reminded me about the pro so then I told myself I'd wait to try them on before I made up my mind. Went to the Tudor boutique and tried on both and I just couldn't get my eyes off the bronze as I was trying on the pro. I still can't get the bb58 off my wrist and I'm so glad I went with my gut. It's too bad I couldn't afford both lol
You're gut is your best friend, Rip. Trust it in everything. 👍
Dude!! This is me!! I can’t decide between the BB58 bronze or the pro! And I don’t live anywhere close to an AD!
Tried them both. Went with bb58 gilt but you can't really go wrong.
Indeed, Josh...
The BB58 is the correct answer. ;)
Haha of course! Thanks Britt 🙌
I don't blame you Britt... you have small (but perfectly formed) wrists... 🙂👍
Love your videos as always! Always helpful! I’m also undecided between the BB Pro and the Explorer II… thought? Is the value gap narrowing and really the only thing you’re buying for the extra $6000 is the brand name of Rolex? Thanks!
The Explorer 2 is on another level, the pro is a chunky monkey, way too top heavy and unbalanced for its size. I picked up a longines spirit Zulu while iI am waiting for an Explorer 2 one day, the Zulu is a better watch than the pro.
Explorer II, definitely.
@@jimlittle5769 What are you thoughts as to why? I’m trying to find a good reason to convince myself to go Rolex over Tudor other than the name.
@@VMIyanks04 I like the look of the Explorer II quite a bit better. I think the proportions work better on Exp II. I like the bracelet on the Exp II better. I'm still a bit leery of the Tudor GMT movement (date wheel). Zero to do with the name. I turned down a Submariner last year cause I prefer my Seamaster 300M. I am now on a couple lists for the new Tudor Pelagos 39. So the Rolex name doesn't mean much to me other than they have a few watches I like, like many brands do.
@@jimlittle5769 awesome, thanks! Same here, I like the design of the polar dial better than the matte black of the Tudor.
The Pelagos 39 also has those 'lume blocks'. Looks really cool from the vids I've seen.
The BB58 for me - an elegant modern classic. The Pro is great there is no denying it, but it's too chunky for it's 39 case dimensions, therefore a little less versatile if want to change out to a NATO. They have very different characters after all - one's a vintage-style diver, one is a homage GMT - each to their own.
I think the black bay pro is the way to go you have the GMT función and you can dive with the watch as well justo my thoughts
Black58 is just the right size and great movement and design. Overall great value.
I would choose bb58. If I own some watches have date function I would purchase a no date watch. I think it is convenient for me not wear it so often, while the watch is stopped that I don't need to identify day or night when I reset the time. It may sound weird LMAO
Bb pro looks much better to me
The pro is a much more rugged casual piece if that’s your taste, the brushing on the bezel had to be seen, it’s what makes the piece. The 58 is fine but found it a bit blah in comparison
One should not have to choose
The 58 is more elegant with its gold touches and overall vintage vibe. That’s the one to wear almost every day
But when time comes to traveling, the Pro is clearly the more modern and better suited for international shenanigans
Different models, not the same purpose in life.
Absolutely, Herve...
I have to have a date window. So the Pro it is
They Pro looks awful side on. It’s like a metal pebble. Tudor really messed up…..again. Still at least the bezel doesn’t fall off like the Pelagos 39 😱 the 58 is Tudor’s masterpiece 👌🏼
I truly wish BB to be my first luxury watch but I just can't get over aluminum bezel at that price point. I've owned couple of alu. bezel watches and that sh%t scratches like butter. Other than that it's perfect.
Why is it "interesting" that the BB 58 and BB Pro have the same lug to lug? They're both 39mm cases.
Possibly because the Pro wears & looks bigger on-wrist, yet they’re the same diameter & lug-to-lug?
I would choose the gmt
I had 15 mm thick watches, even with domed crystals, in the past, never for long, for a reason...I just can't stand the look and feel of thick watches. Really a shame, if the pro would have the same proportions as the BB58, I definitely would get one.
BB58 but in navy
BB58 all the way!💪💪💪💪
Black bay pro🔥
Personally, over the BB!
Ah, the battle for second place behind Tudor Pelagos 39. Looking forward to it. Since you asked us for guidance, here's my guidance...Tudor Pelagos 39.
It seems a number of people who own both, include the watch idiot, and are getting rid of the bb58, because they feel the pro is more of a tool watch, with a better bracelet
I already had the BB58 and I wouldn’t choose the Pro over it purely based off design. I never really liked the older Explorer bezel design. I like the newer one. Plus the thickness doesn’t help at all lol.
The Pro is just the most overrated watch. Clear win for the BB58 for me. Great watch for the price.
BB58 by far
BB58 all the way
This guy is not the best. Digital callipers are digital callipers. Struggle to watch this.
The price point of the Pro is unbeatable, but I am not sure if I would feel comfortable wearing it over a long period of time 🫣
