How I bought the ROLEX Submariner with no wait ➡ th-cam.com/video/xUVxMG_X8Pg/w-d-xo.html
I think it’s epic. I love the throwback to the Tudor submariner and think it’s probably the most tooltastic watch in Tudors lineup! I’m glad there isn’t much hype!!!!!
Less hype makes it easier to obtain for those who truly like it 🫡
*Starting at **3:58** I was VERY impressed with the split screen where, on the left side, the seconds hands on both BB58 models run* *_backwards_* *but run clockwise on the FXD examples.*
Very well spotted my friend!
I bought a Pelagos in2019 and had an a awesome experience with the AD.I have since ordered a MN FXD and Redbull FXDand this morning put a deposit down on the black FXD.The joys of owning a dive company is that I can write them off as business expenses 😄👍The unidirectional bezel is for safety and can only count down on your air and dive stops.I dive with computers so that isn’t an issue👍
It is awesome that you have two Pelly already and with one incoming, hopefully soon! Enjoy your pieces man 💪🏼
I think it’s a solid watch but I do love my Tudor’s. Also think it’s aimed more to new customers. You could call it a vanilla piece but I think it’s a great watch to pull in people to the brand. I’d like to see Tudor offering a more bespoke watch that’s easily available without waiting lists where customers are able to swap bracelets & bezel colours on the 58 or 41 range.
Would the P01 be bespoke enough? 😆
That watch looks massive on your wrist
I don't disagree, this is definitely not a watch for me!
The blue is definitely the best Tudor ever made
Yes, and I especially like the blue used on the BLUEbay58 💙
Love that new FXD, but you have to consider the 39 as you get the T-fit bracelet
I would pick the P39 over the FXD everyday and any day 😎
Nice review, may I ask which watch you have there back on the plate with the triangle and rounded vintage loom in the brown and yellow nato strap?
Thanks! It is the Tudor BlackBay58 with its original fabric strap. This is the exact watch for your easy reference ▶️ www.tudorwatch.com/en/watches/black-bay-58/m79030n-0003
@@KCTimeShare highly appreciate man for the prompt reply and sharing the link. Thank you so much 🙏
Is it me or do the markers on the black look slightly bigger? Maybe it’s just the color but it seems to fill out the dial a little better
I think the black dial makes it pop more due to the contrast.
I like the black but one of the main reasons I pulled the trigger on the blue is the bi-directional bezel. I don't dive, I use it for timing everything and I don't care either way about the count down, count up makes no difference to me. I don't think you mentioned WHY the casebook is blank; it's because it doesn't meet the Marine National design elements mentioned above. Someone else mentioned the engraving isn't very premium and I certainly agree with that.
These are all very well balanced thoughts! Big congrats on picking up the M.N. blue, enjoy wearing it 👍🏻
It’s my favourite of the Pelagos line
There is certain a market for some people! Whatever float your boat my friend 🫡
Hi K, I agree with your assessment: the MN is far more interesting. What's your wrist size? Mine is 17cm and I'm not certain that it would be comfortable. In addition, titanium without a suitable surface treatment seems to be prone to scratches. I don't have a Ti watch, but I do have a Ti bike so I have an idea as to how hard wearing it would be.
This is the first review I've seen that hasn't gushed over this watch... respect!
After the Tudor build up I was really looking forward to this release, but now? To me it's an anticlimax.
Thanks Mr C, I enjoyed this.😊
Hi there, thank you so much for the kind words and your support! My wrist size is ~6" so this is definitely not for me but you might be able to pull it off, so it is worth trying it on! I still haven't worn a titanium watch properly so cannot comment on how durable it is, hopefully one day I can get to experience it! Thanks again!
It's much easier to get good looking straps to match black.
Oh totally!
Thanks for the review. I would love a Pelagos that is this size but on a bracelet.
You are very welcome! Hopefully Tudor will release your perfect watch one day!
They do. It's called the Tudor Pelagos. The original release has always been 42mm and on a bracelet.
@@fattyk1234 Not the same dimensions though.
@@KCTimeShare Thanks!
I like black and red but I would have been way more pumped if they released a date version of the 39
I’m with you! A P39 date would be awesome!
Good little review. The only thing I’d say, is that the etching of the back on the blue one isn’t that great and no one seems to moan about the plethora of Rolexes having no etching on the back. People like to have a significant date or event engraved on the back.
Since both the Blue and RedBull offer case back engraving, it would be nice to get it on this model too, but point taken 🫡
Much prefer blank case backs, gives you the opportunity to personalise the watch, branding and other markings look corny imo
The question now becomes, what would you engrave haha
@@KCTimeShare Maybe a motto or message, family crest or just name and date.
I just feel like any luxury watch should have a clean case back for the owner to personalise their purchase, it's also shows restraint in the design vs companies prioritising a limited edition or collaboration that will eventually be dated and forgotten
right, if you keep it forever. But for sale, that extra marking could be a problem.
Ones blue, ones black. End of story!
Plus an empty wallet 🤣
I wish there was less text on the dial. Minimalism ftw.
The ones issued to the US/French navy have less text on the dial. I guess you will have to join the navy then 🤪
Couldn't agree more, what is up w/ Rolex and Tudor. Officially Certified, Rotor Self Winding, blah blah. It makes me love my Panerai even more.
Don't scratch the watches!
Roger that!

I think Tudor is getting too many Black Bay models that all look similar and repetitive. It is becoming The Black Bay Company. (Black Bay 54 looks the best).
the Black Bay Company 😂
Agree, the 58 is by far their best, most balanced offering.
I agree. I've never considered owning a Tudor anything, then the FXD came out and I now have one.
I would love me some “pee-laa-goes”
I think that is the way how Tudor pronounces it in its commercial.
Girls pee-pee when they see me.
That is correct. Solid comparison and review. Thanks!
Lol I didn’t even know this model launched. Talk about a dud.
That's awkward 🤣
Looks awful on your wrist 😂
Oh yes, these watches are definitely not for me 🫣
Agree, that’s how I know it will probably not be good for me either since my wrist is similar size.
