It’s not irresponsible, you just needed a new watch to celebrate your recovery 🎉
Right?! 😅 celebration watch! 💕 happy to be alive to make irresponsible decisions!
Absolutely - new jaw, new watch!
It’s a recovery watch lol
Think of it as a physical therapy device. Perhaps you could write it off of your taxes. J/K
You deserve it !!! You don’t need to justify it to anybody !
Would love to see a BB58 vs BB54 comparison video! Yes I impulsed the living crap out of my Explorer 1 purchase when they released the 36mm size in 2021 - I couldn't contain myself. Lol
Absolutely, we want the video
LOL’ you did the right thing in that impulse but! 😍😍 when it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be!
And YAY! Ok!! I am feeling inspired to do this comparison video now!!
Uptick watch reviewed already
I tried it on. Too small for me. It's just a fad. Guarantee buyers remorse. I would recommend the Black Bay 58 or the 36 with blue sunburst dial.

Hi Brittany, obviously you don’t know me but, …….. in my personal opinion, as long as your purchases don’t have a negative effect on your life, then treat yourself to what you want!
I’ve watched hard working loved ones die before their time, always putting off what they really wanted, be it purchases, holidays whatever!
We’re only here for a short time! Enjoy what you can,
Keep up the great work and enjoy 👍xx
Congrats on the purchase! Happy to see you able to literally work through the pain. I would love a 58 vs. 54 comparison video. Good idea!
Oh thank you sooo much! 💕 honestly, it’s a nice distraction having work to do! Makes me feel useful again! 💕💕 comparison video inbound!
Everyone’s been wearing 40mm watches that are too big for them. When you get a 37mm watch on with a significant lug-to-lug of 45mm it’s basically perfect for everyone.
Glad to see you're getting well! My dad crashed his bike 2 decades ago and broke his back and thankfully he recovered after a year of therapy. He's also a watch collector and has a lot of expensive watches.
Man! I’m so glad to hear your dad is ok! 💕💕 does he still cycle?! I still can’t see myself back on a bicycle but I hope this passes. 💕 the healing is coming! Feeling so lucky to be alive woth no serious problems!
@@BrittPearceWatches Worse, I meant he crashed om his motorbike on a telephone pole. He rode a bike that was way more powerful than his skill level so he lost control as that bike was known to have so much power in a light frame. Any accident you can survive from and recover is lucky one. My brother had a worse accident crashing on the side of the van and breaking all his ribs. Both he and my dad like riding motorbikes that are too strong for them to handle. But both of them are too stubborn to die.
Thanks for posting! Hope you continue to heal, it’s good to see you well enough to be excited about a new watch!
Godspeed on recovery. You and your voice make me happy. I am also recovering, from a surgery. All the best to you and your Husband. Thank you for posting.
My impulse buy was the BB58. I love it! I’m so damn impressed that you are up and looking like a snack so soon after surgery. Incredibly happy for you . And love this watch on you!
Oh now THIS IS TOO KIND! 😭💕 I don’t feel like a snack again yet! But each day is a little better than the last! I’ve been wearing the Speedmaster and she’s been giving me a speedy recovery! 😜
What BB58 did you go for?! 😱 blue or black?!
Blue. There is something about the blue dial tone, white and silver that just makes me happy. I am interested to try the 56, they have some nice differences that make it intriguing. What did you think of the Rolex Daytona? Saw a glimpse of it in your b-roll.
You're one of the first people I thought of when the Tudors came out this year. Glad you treated yourself. I would love to see the comparison video with the BB58. Despite having a wrist that could permit a Black Bay Heritage, I kinda want the 54. it's just so awesomely retro...
Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.
Congrats and you are sounding much better keep up the great recovery I see a glimmer of pre accident Brit in there and can’t wait to see you back at 100%
Hey Britt, many congrats on your purchase - you deserve a treat and it looks great on you (and on those with slimmer wrists). I already have two BB58s and despite the T-Fit clasp, I could never justify getting one myself. Like you I also struggle with the missing hash marks on the bezel and that new crown looks way too small for my stubby fingers. Having said all this, it will be a huge seller.
Congrats, Britt - I love the 54! It wears great on your wrist and it also looks great on James' wrist :) I'm looking forward to trying a 54 at my AD and comparing it to my 58. I don't plan to buy a 54 as I still am in love with my black/gilt 58, but the 54 looks fantastic. I'd love to see a 54 v. 58 video. And yes, I've had impulse watch buys before, but never at the $ level of a Tudor. Glad you are getting better :)
Happy recovery! The whole watch fam is rooting for you!
Thanks for non resting from your surgery... We got nice videos thanks to you. Really want that video comparaison with the 2 tudor. Thanks for the video
This watch is an absolute Home Run! My two favorite watches of all time are the Rolex 6204 and the Tudor 7922. This watch is a beautiful homage to those. I'm surprised you were able to obtain one so fast. I thought maybe they would take awhile before they were available. Congratulations!
I’m surprised I was able to obtain one so fast! 😂🤷🏻♀️ I did not expect this at all! I thought we were jusy gonna go have a gossip with the AD! Didn’t expect to see this at all! 😱 Tudor is really good for getting their watches out fast tho!
Great take & speed recovery. Tudor is doing a fantastic job and the Black Bay 54 is definitely the best release this year in the watch world. Seems like the full expression of a "do-it-all" watch, even more than an Explorer. The size is adequate for everyone and the dressier aesthetics is historically respectful without being an historical piece. I absolutely hope that this starts a trend among all other brands.
Nothing wrong with a new beautiful watch🎉 congratulations as you heal ... which sounds like a great reason for a watch! Wishing you a continued getting better.
Congrats! I would definitely love to see a comparison video! Glad you’re feeling better!
"you can really feel the 2mm size difference" - things us watch geeks say that will sound totally insane to normal people 🤣. Congrats on the new piece and get well soon!
Good to see your jaw doing better. On the Tudor front, I had a BB58 but sold it since it's a little too big for my 5.5" wrist. I have been wondering about the BB54 since W&W. So glad you did a video. And yes would love to see a battle royale between the two BBs.
Maybe check out Tudor mini sub which is only 33mm. As I’m used to wear vintage I feel that 37mm can still be oversized for small wrists.
Hi Britt - I did the same just before Christmas when my AD amazingly (!) had a steel and gold, diet rootbeer, GMT in stock. Just fell for it and wearing it tons. Good luck and best wishes for your recovery.
Wish you a speedy recovery. Congrats on your new Tudor…$$$well spent!!
Congratulations Britt! A watch to celebrate your recovery was needed. So glad your on the mend 🎉
Oh HEY LOVELY! 💕💕💕 thabk you soooo so much£ ive been following all your Watches and Wonders content! Loving it!
I love the longer lugs on this piece. I’ve found that one of the differences between vintage and contemporary pieces is not necessarily the lug to lug measurement, but the ratio between the lugs and case. In my opinion, a slightly smaller case but longer lugs is more visually elegant than the opposite.
Bingo!
It’s soooo true!!! I was going to include the lug measurement but I thought that was too geeky hahaha! But this is exactly it!
Looking good Britt! Glad you're on the mend! I love this new watch! This could easily be a one and done for many!
That shot at 2:17 is perfection ! All the best with your recovery :) I've just found your channel now and glad I did. Cheers Ron - New Zealand
Whaaaat! Thank you so much! And I’m so glad you’re enjoying my weird little channel! I am Canadian! I’ve always felt like Canadians and Kiwis have a lot in common. 💕✨ gorgeous country’s, and we often get confused with our neighbours when travelling (Aussies and Yanks) 😜✨✨
I’ve been collecting for 17 years. My first 3 watches were impulse buys. Haven’t made one since. But this video inspires me me to do so. Tudor or IWC would probably be my choices for a spontaneous buy. Congrats btw.
doesn't sound spontaneous :-)
Love the impulse buy. For me, my biggest impulse was buying a Seiko Presage (i am poor lol).
I would love to see a dedicated video comparing your 54 and 58.
And also, it is great to see how well you are recovering! You more than deserve to treat yourself with a great watch like this!
Haha gotta love an impulse buy! Life is short! If you’ve got the cash, and this item is going to bring you some joy…. GO FOR IT! 🙈✨✨✨
After everything youve been through Britt you deserve a treat!!!!
Enjoy in good health, Much love!!!
Love that you’re making content and that you splurged!! No better excuse than serious injury!! You’re in good company on the BB54 love BTW, it got such props on the ground at WW ❤
Congrats on that purchase Britt, you truly deserved it!!! This gorgeous watch just makes so much sense for you, it just qualifies as a no brainer. Personally I would have loved to see a smile dial and for some weird reason I prefer the crown of the 58. But otherwise this timepiece is utter perfection! 👌
Ahhh thank you sooo much! You know, it did feel a bit like a no brainer 🙈 this belongs in the gringa collection!! Hehe. Hope you have a gorgeous weekend! 💕
@Britt Pearce Right! This watch is just 100 % "Gringa" 😄 Enjoy your weekend, I'm sure this watch helps!
Definitely need a comparison video. Congrats on the gorgeous watch.
Ahhh! I’m on it! Comparison video is coming 💕
Congratulations for that beautiful watch , enjoy it and get better , thanks for showing.
I broke my jaw last year, so I feel your pain, it gets better, hang in there!! I've been considering picking up a Tudor forever and after watching this, I think a trip to my AD is in order...
If Tudor didn't release the 54 this year, it wouldn't have been one of, if not THE standout watch of Watches & Wonders. I think it is a brilliant, beautiful watch and now on the top of my wish list. Congratulations.
I frankly find the bezel insert far more aesthetically appealing without the graduated markers you prefer; it's true to the vintage look, as well. It's why I bought the MKII Kingston, which resembles this 54 so closely, though the Kingston is a 39mm, so a big larger. Love the 37mm perhaps even better, though.
So glad your feeling better, great video!
Congrat on your new watch!🎉 wish you the best!
Great video! A BB54 vs BB58 video would be perfect! I have a 6” wrist and have been waiting for that perfect diver to come out but I’m still torn between the two watches
Ahhhh! VIDEO COMING UP!! Hopefully help you decide! 😱💕 or do what I did…. Just get both! 😜✨
Glad to see your recovery is going well, Britt! If they make a smaller Ranger with the case of the 54, they can take my money.
Oh my GOODNESS! I’ll be at the ad again with my credit card if they do!
Brilliant. Congratulations on the new watch and wow look at how well you are recovering!
Britney! An in-depth comparison between the BB54 & BB58? Absolutely! Take care of that jaw! 🙏 for a full recovery!
Oh thank you soo much! I am taking today off to rest my jaw! 💕 but comparison video is COMING UP!
Yes i walked straight into my AD and purchased my bb58, with no regrets, definitely going to have a look at 54, a comparison video would be great.
Ahhh! Coming up! Hopefully sometime next week! 💕💕
After what you have been through, why not ! Also the 54 is a perfect watch size for you and looks great 👍
Oh thank you so much! It did feel like a bit of a celebration purchase 🎉 the worst is over! And now each day is a little better than the last. And I mean… it was jusy too perfect to pass up£ 💕💕💕
Yes it would be great to see a comparison video BB58 vs BB54. Thank you and happy to see your recovery is moving along.
You're a champion, always enjoy your reviews
I hope this inspires other brands to do a midsize diver as well. I have tiny wrists and rocking the previous gen seamaster midsize, so def not scared of smaller watches.
Right?! I hope so too! It’s a really enjoyable wear!
Having the gorgeous bb58 blue in my collection and now lusting over this new bb54, I’d love to see that comparison video. As much as I just want to go to my AD and buy this new bb54, I’m not sure if I can justify having two watches that look and provide such a similar experience. Please make that video! I think it’ll help many of us make that decision.
Glad to see you recovering and congrats on the impulse purchase! My impulse purchase was the Zenith Chronomaster Orignal. Maybe not the most financially sound impulse buy, but when in Switzerland...
Congrats on your new purchase. I would like to see this 54 in person and yes I will probably hold on to want they may release in the near future. Glad to see you recovering Brit 💪
Gringa!! Another great video pushing you even closer to 55K subs!!! Awesome watch pick up and it looks amazing. I have not yet seen any of the new releases in person, and I am scared. I have been waiting for the an FXD, but I am scared that I may impulse buy the new BB or GMT once I see it on my wrist. At a RedBar meetup this past week, several Tudor Cult members discussed our anticipation in seeing the new releases in person. Great to see you letting Editing Britt to appear also. Long Live the Cult(s)!!
DON IS HERE! 🎉💕 ahh thank you so much! Omg I could sooo see you with the GMT! But also the FXD belongs in your collection!
I finally got the chance to get a Tudor last fall and ended up going with the BB36 in black. I liked BB58 quite a bit but it was just a hair too big, so this release is very tempting!
At least the new BB36 line went into a pretty off-putting design direction for me so there's no need to think about a 1000€ upgrade there 😀
Continued prayers for your ongoing recovery. The 54 looks good on you. I sometimes buy a watch on impulse, but given that I cap my watch purchases at about $350 per piece, buying a new piece on impulse doesn't crash my budget and is entirely supportable.
I laughed out loud when you said "you can really feel the 2mm size difference"! I worked in an AD for a year and this is the kind of comment that would make my non-watch friends look at me like I was speaking in tongues 🤣
This is clearly a pre-cursor to the 58 being updated either next year or mid-way through this year. 100%. Buying a 58 right now is probably not the wisest move…
Love it Britt! Best of luck with you healing post surgery.
Looks good on you Britt….congrats! And I wish you a speedy recovery ☀️🇨🇦
The dial looks to have a sunburst finish? Or is it just the lighting?
The biggest thing I noticed, was the bezel on the 54, edge is more "slippery" vs the 58. harder to grip now and was put off when I saw it in person. If you compare on your end, you will see what I mean. The crown too, much harder to grip vs the 58 (due to the finish on the material vs the BB58).
Yes we need a comparison video with this and the BB58! Congratulations on the new watch, great video and speedy recovery
OUU HOO! Comparison video is coming up!
Knew you’d buy it! Sounds like you are recovering so quickly! Great video and buy as always :)
I have a 7.5" wrist and have a preference towards smaller diameter watches from 36-38mm.
To me they are less obtrusive and look more refined.
Love your Black Bay. Nice pick up 👍
You know, I couldn’t agree more! There’s a certain kind of look and proportion you get from those sizes. I like to be able to see a particular amount of bracelet and dial on the wrist. You know?!
Agree the new bracelet is an improvement, but I feel 39mm is a perfect size for a sports / dive watch. I also love the gilt bezel numerals, red iconic triangle (Rolex Big Crown), and the snowflake seconds counter weight of the BB58. All that is gone on the BB54 making it rather dull in comparison to the 58.
Haha it’s true! It depends on your tastes! :) so I got the bb58 blue because I found all the gilt and gold a bit too much for me. I like that this one has the white bezel! And really…. The big difference is the size! Great for the small wrist crew!
I’m with you! I prefer the 58 for all the reason you listed above. Butttt I will gladly buy up a BB54 Blue in a heartbeat
Glad you’re healing up! Yes I think we all have had that spur of the moment… OOoooo Im buying that watch! I recently did the same thing but I purchased a Christopher Ward C65 Dune with Blue dial!
I wish you a speedy recovery, the watch community needs you!
My thought is...54 maybe perfect for your wrist size but for most men, the BB58 is the sweetspot. Also some may even prefer the BB58 aesthetically to the BB54 independent of size.
Thanks for your video and congrats on the new 54.
PS. as a sporty male with average wrist size, all said, I prefer the Pelagos 39 Ti as I believe the vintage thing is overplayed even though I am a lot older than you but probably don't act it.
Interesting that it seems to have the same lug width as the BB58.
I did think it was too wide for the BB54 at first, but like the 21mm lug width on the Pelagos 39, the bigger lug width to case size ratio works very well, and I look forward to seeing one in the flesh.
I’m with you 1000000%!!!! This is the video I needed. I have the BB58 blue as well, and impulse bought the BB54 on Thursday. I literally haven’t removed the stickers as I’ve been trying to justify it holding the two side by side… also have a 6” wrist. AHHHH literally. Thank you for this video!
Hope your recovery is going well. Congrats on the lovely new watch, you deserve a treat after all you've been through.
Oh bless you! You are far too kind. 💕 you know, honeymooning with this watch has been a very nice distraction! 😜✨✨
I like Tudor, but 54mm is too large for me.
😂💕💕 it’s 37mm 😇
I bought a Black Bay 58 last year. Please do not do a comparison video. Also don't talk about the 54 ever again. ...With its slimmed down proportions, and its refined second hand sans snowflake. I'm not interested in the way it slips under the cuff just right. Or the cleaner bezel. And I certainly don't care for the sleeker crown which hugs the slimmer case, or that we spoke and Tudor listened. Not interested. Nope. (insert annoyed girlfriend meme where my girlfriend is the 58 and the passing hot random is a 54).
Glad to see you are getting better. My impulse buy was a new Tudor ranger which is bizarrely is a modern day reasonably priced explorer. I am not really a fan of metal staps but I am a total convert with this watch. It seems to be my go to watch. Love your content. Heal up quickly.
You are sounding much better Britt! and congrats on the watch 💞
wasted money imo
😂
Agreed
No, not when it makes her happy.
If I didn't have a perfectly fitted BB58 in gilt, I might've considered the 54. Wonderful looking piece and great to see you back!
Lovely watch 🙌🏻. Glad to see you everyday better 🙏🏻
Glad to see that you are feeling better ! Sending love from Singapore ❤ 🇸🇬
Ahh thank you sooo much! 💕💕 a little better every day!
The watch is lovely and looks perfect on your wrist, Britt. Hope you have a “speedy” recovery (Omega pun in a Tudor comment LOL).
Look great and sounding better, Britt. Improving video by vid. Good luck, and congrats on the purchase. Vintage Tudor a mist see. 💯💯💯💯
Congratulations on the impulse purchase, Brittany! I love the watch on you; it's perfect. You deserve the new toy!!
37mm x 46mm - you had no choice. You had to do it. It’s perfect for you. A no brainer. It’s stunning. Congratulations
Congrats on the purchase! :) been following your videos lately. Get well soon. I did an impulsive purchase too last week with Tissot's Chemin Des Tourelles😅
Great review thanks, probably the one that will sway me to get one!! hope you get well soon 👍👍
Hey, after what you’ve been through, you deserved a new watch. Congratulations!
Ola Watch Gringa,
Superb Watch, and Good to see you getting well, more wishes and prayers.
After watching ur last Tudor video i knew your next is gona be a Tudor.
The watch size is perfect esp the reduced crown.
As you said a few videos ago, tomorrow is not guaranteed. So an impulse buy that brings joy, and does not put you extremis, is great. You seem to feel better - which is also goodness! Enjoy your new watch!!
Congratulations Brittany!
An excellent choice for both Women and Men.
Being a Renaissance fan boy I love the balance of the bezel.
My parents bought me a Sea dweller, Great White 1665 plastic crystal in 1978 for my 21st birthday it was on order for 4 years. It is my pride and joy and can’t wait to give my son the watch when he is 21.
Your voice is getting better.
Take care and God bless you and your loved ones.
🕊️❤️🤗🙏⌚️👩🏻🎓
Congrats on the new watch. Looks so nice.
The 54 looks like the perfect size watch for you on the wrist! Glad to see you recovering well and definitely a well deserved treat.
Congratz on your purchase. Looks so clean! I called my AD for the BB54 which said it already has a waiting list:(
Congratulations Britt, I just bought my first Tudor watch too! And I only had to wait a year. 😊 Get well and keep making your wonderful videos!
Just to confirm your offer Britt.
I hope you feeling good gringa, your looking better and its great to see you on the mend. You deserve it x
Oh thank you soo so much! 💕 the worst is over now! And each day is a little better than the last! 💕✨
@@BrittPearceWatches thats great to hear ❤️
You deserve this watch! Hope you feel better soon, Britt! ☀️
Congratulations and best of luck and everything with this purchase. I'd love to see a comparison video featuring these two Tudors once you've been wearing the 54 for a while. As far as impulse purchases, I was in the dangerous waters of Ebay when I heard the siren song of a Tissot Ballade. The price was amazing and I wound up winning the auction. I registered my new watch on the Tissot website and saw it had been purchased by the seller only a year prior. The chronometer movement has been true to spec. I couldn't be happier, especially considering how understanding my wife is when it comes to my watches. You sound great, Britt. Keep feeling better! 😊
Congratulations on your new watch. You deserve it. 😎👍👏👏👏
Unfortunately I have too many bloody impulse buys lol. My 6.25 inch wrist just loves this watch so as soon as I have saved enough for it I will got and try it on. Glad to see you getting better each day 😊
Lol I just stumbled across your channel and came back into the room to you ending song. 😂😂😂Epic, Love it.
Glad you’re healing up!
I too have the BB58 in blue, and would love to see a comparison video as I could see myself trading that for the BB54 possibly👀
