I love the SIMPLICITY of this watch. That's key. No Bezel, no date, no GMT, no crazy colors, no BS... I love it!
exactly, the perfect watch to me.
Purchased 41mm anthracite few months ago and this watch is fire. Great for most occasions like office, vacation, date, tennis match. Im not a fan of polished watches but this one convinced me. The jubilee bracelet is stunning in light and the most comfortable from all watches I have. I have a bunch of cool divers but I tend to wear this when I go out. Pure class
I’m loving my Champagne in 41 too, most comfortable watch I have ever owned. A beauty that works for any occasion.
I have the anthracite in 39mm and I wear it everyday for work and mosts nights out on weekends. I love it. The bracelet is very comfortable and the watch is beautiful, subtle, elegant and versatile.
The strap is just sublime. In real life it pops 🤩
Well said, I'm thinking of getting the 36mm 😊
I got the anthracite in 36mm yesterday at the authorized dealer, and I love the look, fit, and finish of this watch.
Went into Tudor boutique to buy a bb58 but saw the non diver 41mm in blue and fell in love and left with it. Months later I still love it. Incredibly versatile and underrated piece.
BRING BACK THE DATE DAY PRINCE!
YES! Finally i see one with my taste☺️
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Yup
Yessss!!!!!
Shhhh have to keep the prices of the used ones down!
Bought the 39 in anthracite as my first ever luxury watch a few months ago! It actually started to get a little "boring" after having it and only it, but weirdly got a lot more appreciation for it after picking up my second luxury watch, a much more show off-y omega worldtimer and I feel like the two complement each other so well. My BB39 feels more and more like the king of fill-in-the-gaps watches and I'm still convinced I'll never sell it
I love the 36; especially the Anthracite dial. And once they become a little more readily available, I’d love to add one to my collection! It’ll go nicely with my 58 bronze, and my 54!
If only they had it with a black dial and silver accents…like the explorer 1
Agree, gloss black dial, not sunburst, and silver accents would be absolutley perfect.
I just bought the blue version in 41mm. I’d buy black with silver accents as well. Not a fan of the anthracite.
I have a black bay 41 anthracite and absolutely love it. It has a different movement than talked about here, from the black bay bronze, MT5601. I think it’s pretty much perfect. Especially for the price point. The polish is so nice and the 5 link bracelet wears perfectly.
Was gifted the Anthracite 36 a few months ago and I’ve bought a few “luxury” watches since then and this one is still my favorite. It’s a great every day wear and I find myself staring at it from time to time. Tudor has a fan in me.
I own the S&G version of this watch with a black dial and love it. The gold just gives it a little warmth and the T-fit clasp can’t be beat.
How does the jubilee bracelet. Feel?
The updates are pretty nice, but I think I’m in the minority in that I still prefer the old models. I’ve owned the black dial bb36 for a year and absolutely love it. The inky black dial, oyster-style bracelet, 150m water resistance, and overall tool watch aesthetic are just awesome. Having said that, Tudor made some good updates and I’m glad they’re at least paying attention to this line. Either way, still a very underrated model that deserves more attention.
Well, I think I'm in the same minority group as you. I prefer the old design to this new one. I love the hight contrast matte black dial and the oyster-style bracelet, not a fan of the new sunburst. The new one looks like a dress watch, not a tool watch as the old one.
BB goes mainstream. The new version is a complete different watch. Other movement, sunburst dial, lollipop second hand, tiny crown, rounded DD-like case lines, different strap & clasp. It`s like the look of an original Mini and the other car of BMW. Woke up just in time and was lucky to get one of the last new previous ones yesterday. Greets to all (and ty for great videos Teddy)!
Same here! The flat black and blue dials were so good. Don’t care for the sunburst on the new models. Seems more like a Datejust now and less like a Tudor
@@DucNguyen1412 sunburst is the only negative, everything else is an improvement
got this in 39 with the anthracite dial and love it! extremly comfortable, looks great, and runs about +1/+2 seconds per day.
I have the bb58 and love it. This is a nice watch with the Tudor heritage, but I lean toward the dive watch with the bezel being so functional and the watch looking so good it can be worn in any venue.
I was set on getting rhe 39mm blue dial but saw the anthracite in person and loved it. My wife made a comment about a vintage look then i was really sold. It's my new daily and i also wear it with a suit. In my humble opinion its overlooked.
I was gifted the bb39 anthracite for my wedding last month from the new wife. Its my first luxury watch but its pure class, its understated and not too flash. Perfect for everyday wear as I've moved away from my Tag Connected watch. Looking forward to adding to my collection.
Tried on the bb54, pelagos 39 and bb36 back to back. Was underwhelmed by the bb54. The pelagos was nice, but wasn't keen on what titanium looks like in the flesh + the clasp was a bit longer than on the other 2 watches. The bb36 blew me away. The sunburst blue dial waa stunning and the bracelet is beautiful and comfortable. Wears really well on a small wrist too due to the smaller lug to lug. Certainly my pick of the bunch and a step up from the previous version.
I prefer the old black bay 36 with the ETA movement, although I sold mine and got the black bay 54 as my one watch collection now. Tudor is freaking killing it!!
Best looking watch they’ve released since the 925 in my opinion. If I didn’t have an AT I’d probably buy it. Tried it on recently in blue and it felt SO premium!
They need to make these available on an oyster bracelet as well. The jubilee is too fussy-looking for a lot of people. IMO, it overshadows the watch to the point where all I see are jubilee links everywhere.
Absolutely love this watch. Saving up for one. Hope Tudor doesn't discontinue this version the year.
I think you have the best made videos on youtube.. the images you have presented of the Tudor are superlative and incredibly attractive
I got to try out this watch in 39mm this summer and I'm now considering buying this when I graduate. It's between this and the new 38mm Aqua Terra
I have the 41 mm version for graduation and love it every time I wear it.
The blue dial 36 or 39 on jubilee is really something.
Tried it a few weeks ago in a local AD and it has been living in my head rent free.
May i ask for your preference between the 36 and 39? And what is your wrist size? I haven’t tried one yet but I’ve been looking at it for some time now. Thanks
@@Jeanclaudevandamme55 my wrist size is 6,5 and I prefer the 36mm
If you have a bigger wrist, better go with the 39mm
This experience sounds very familiar lol. I ended up getting the 36mm in anthracite after a week and it’s the best!
Gave my wife the champagne 31 for anniversary and she absolutely loves it. The bracelet is killer and it is more sporty than her JLC duo face giving her a great daily option
what a pleasant surprise!
I just bought this watch in 39 champagne a few hours ago. Really a beautiful piece. Thanks for the great review.
Champagne is my favourite too. Maybe later this year or next year.😊
@@olegzu great choice!
I love it. I'm saving up for the anthracite version right now. I can't wait to get it.
Just bought the 39mm in blue - love it! Super clean, versatile, comfy and the jubilee catches the light so well. It’s classy and dressy but not too flashy
This updated BB36 is what I’m hoping to pick up. Now that the black crown tube has gone, the blue dial has a little more to it and the micro-adjust in the clasp just makes it tick every box for me. Just hope I like it when I finally try one on!
Great review, as always.
I’m looking for my first luxury watch these days, and this one is one of my top options. I too think it’s beautiful and really maximizes versatility because it can be pulled off as an everyday watch as well ad in more dressy situations
This entire range is truly fantastic. I do love the previous version a little bit more with the more versatile oyster-style bracelet, smiley dial text, snowflake seconds hand, quirky crown tube and low long-term maintenance costs. I'm biased of course, as I have that previous BB36 in black and it's my go-to GADA despite other more "special" watches. Chronometer spec doesn't mean all that much as well when the previous one is well-regulated by Tudor to well within cosc and the shorter power reserve also doesn't mean that much if you either wear it very often, or only occasionally within a sizeable rotation. I do however like the magnetic resistance, the blue sunburst dial, T-fit clasp and curvier case sides of this new one. Maybe one day if they provide an oyster bracelet as an option, I might spring for this new generation. Because despite the differences in the details, this is just a fantastic range, period.
Yess, I do think that the old one is more versatile. What I like about the new one is the T fit clasp, magnetic resistance and... maybe, the new engine.
@@DucNguyen1412 Agreed!
I have a ranger as my daily wear. My favorite watch brand hands down. I think the black bay as a diver without the dive is only just ok. Still it's a rugged, classy not flashy watch that can worn while day-active and then out to dinner that night with a jacket and tie. Regardless, I'd prefer the dive watch
Got one of these today’s. It’s better than I even imagined. Love this piece.
The jubilee bracelet is a great addition, but I will miss the previous version’s amazing gloss blue dial
I have this in blue 36mm and I love it. It is very good looking.
This is my favorite release from Watches and Wonders (and Tudor) this year, 36mm in either blue or champagne for me. Black Bay 54 is very cool too but I’d prefer different color-ways which should be here next year.
I went for the black bay 54 as I’ve got small wrists and held off from the 58. Loving this watch as well though
I have just purchased the BB36 with the blue dial as my first step into owning a luxury watch. I love it and have been wearing it everyday, but now have a growing interest in my next watch purchase? Maybe the BB54?? Love the channel by the way and a new subscriber. 👍
The only two things I dislike about this are the shade of blue and the in-house movement. I prefer the darker, richer blue of the previous model. As the BB36 tops my most wanted list, servicing a Tudor movement might be cost-prohibitive long term. Still, I like the upgraded clasp and bracelet!
What does "cost-prohibitive" mean?
@@sneakyscorpia Expensive and unaffordable.
@@BetamaxBabe Thanks, very relatable 🤣
@@sneakyscorpia Ooooookay?
@@BetamaxBabe just joking about it being relatable that watches can be very expensive that's all 🙂
I would call this Tudor's answer to the Omega AT. You get 95% of the AT's quality at 2/3s the price. Instead of focusing on the $500 bump; we should think that this is $1,500 less than the AT.
Looks way better than an AT. Way better bracelet too.
I really appreciate there being no date window. Most date windows just look like afterthoughts so these have a great clean look
I can't read them anyhow without digging out my glasses (aged eyes), so I prefer no-date models. The rare "big date" watches are pretty pricey. I'd like to get an in-person look at something with a pointer date, like an Oris, so see if it works for me.
A great piece, love the new bracelets on these...they definitely overlooked....
Lovely watch but I preferred the earlier version with the non sunburst dial, plainer bracelet and ETA/Sellita movement.
Going for an in-house movement just ramps up the purchase and maintenance cost and the flashier dial and bracelet move it away from the tool watch aesthetic I liked so much about the previous model
Agree both are great tho
I am inclined to agree with both of you, particularly the handsets of the older model... with the snowflake second hand and thicker hour hand.
Bingo
Fully agree. That is the reason I bought the earlier version today.
I like a I 70 hour power reserve. COSC certified is far superior to the ETA. What was that 45-hour power reserve? I would pay the extra $500.
Just bought a 41 Jubilee in silver which is now a light champagne. It's a beautiful watch!
I considered getting one of these but was ambivolent about the snowflake hands. While waiting for the local AD to get one in (they still haven't) I bought a San Martin "homage" to see if I could live with the design. I can, but I don't like it enough to invest 1000s in the Tudor. Besides, the finishing on the SM is really good and the PT5000 movement is much more accurate than one would expect (average of 6 positions on the timegrapher +0.3 seconds/day}.
Glad I'm not the only who dislikes the hands on these!
This watch is stunning!
The black bay 41 is stunning. I said a few years ago, why can't I spec my Rolex OP with a decent oyster bracelet with lockable clasp probably Jubilee bracelet... Tudor have gone and done it with this BB range. Stunning
I bought BB41 Black S&G Diamond model, love it.. very simple and upscale look
That's a beautiful dial, I like this one. Classy and sporty.
I got the previous model bb 41mm, I love it , especially bright bold blue 💙 dial
I shouldn’t, but I love the silver/gold version with the black dial. Need to round to trying one on.
They should bring back the old Tudor logo
Agreed. That was one of the reasons I chose a BB heritage during the transition period
This is the one I'm saving up for. But I have to have the silver dial.
You know me well from other videos that Tudor is one of my favorites brands so… ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👏👏👏👏
It’s clear that they wanted to shift this line to be Tudor’s version of the OP (vs Explorer).
I think I’m going to try one of these on at some point, but I have a feeling I’m going to be holding out for a 36mm Ranger.
I hadn’t thought of it this way, but you’re right. I have the previous version, which to me feels like the baby brother of the explorer. These don’t, these feel finer.
I guess Tudor feels the Ranger is their Explorer (although I’m really not a fan).
Great review! Personally, I like the original black bay 36 with the smile dial. The new one looks too blingy
I handled the previous model blackbay a few years ago. The changes made to the watch are almost as if it was custom made to my requests! I didnt like how the previous one had straight case/lugs, the crown, and the non factory movement. Fixed it!
Definitely overlooked, the bb36 is perfect for those with smaller wrists and want a dressy/everyday watch. The new blue dial is stunning and bracelet is very solid. Pulled the trigger on it shortly after the release and have absolutely no regrets
I tried it yesterday, blue color is beautiful, like denim...but the price. $3950, when just a few years ago I was able to get a two-toned gold dial model for 4k. After tax, this is just so expensive. But it is beautiful!
This BB 36 seems to be perfect. 4 Hz, Beautiful dial blue cobalt (for the french people) . The only problem is that there is a lot of competitor from TUDOR and from LONGINES and OMEGA. Very hard to be the first in this competition.
If I didn't have a DJ41 in bright blue, this would be a perfect replacement. Instead I bought a BB GMT Opaline this summer. Stunning and almost as accurate as my Rolexes.
Wow stunning watch, I love it right away.❤
This is my next watch that I would like to own, I have a 6.5 inch wrist and compared to an Oyster Perpetual is has just as much presence with all the feature’s I would want compared to the oyster perpetual. It’s a stunning watch.
I am looking for this exact 36mm watch, but with the date function. Can you recommend the closest alternatives?
That BB36 is nice...clean, versatile, solid.
I love the Jubilee on the Datejust but for some reason it puts me off on this model.
Excellent review. Thank you
I have the 41 in Champagne - amazing GADA.
I love the look of this thing.
We need to come up with a nickname for bezelless Black Bays.

Would be fun to do a head to head with the Dress KX.
I was looking for this comment!
Just got a previous version bb36 with the blue dial and it is drop dead gorgeous and as sturdy as anything. The only improvement I see in this new model is the crown and maybe the clasp, the other changes are mostly a downside for me. Less of a daily toolwatch and more of a luxury watch now.
I've had the bb36 blue dial for nearly 2 years now and still love it - if you want to add some adjustment to the clasp, you can buy an extendable link from Steel Reef and it's amazing - I got the idea from Adrian Barker who uses it on his Explorer 1. Completely transforms the watch - adds that versatility that it's lacking without the adjustable clasp
Bought the 41, It was a bargain and is fantastic.
Love this model. They absolutely nailed it. Would love to see a green dial version to match the green lume.
I was thinking that, I wanted to purchase the Tag Heuer Carrera Date 36mm. Do you think it's a good watch for my first luxury watch collection?
Hi Teddy, which is better to buy, 1926 or black bay 36? Still undecided. Need your insights. Thank you in advance.
Beautiful piece! Would love to see this with a jet black lacquer dial
Does the bracelet of the 39mm version fit the black bay 58 ? Because that watch on such a good bracelet would be a blessing
I absolutely love this watch!
I love this watch, my favourite Tudor.
Just picked up the previous gen 36mm.
Absolutely beautiful watch.
Maybe the lighting is doing some heavy lifting but the black and gold S&G at 6:00 looks stunning.
Hard to tell from video alone but the new blue looks similar in tone to the Seiko SPB197J1 which I love and own (but replaced the bracelet an Uncle Seiko Jubilee). In any case, I like it!
I preferred the previous dial but at least they have dropped the lumed square from the second hand; now if only they would get rid of the snowflake hour hand...
I was thinking about to buy this watch, because i think it is absolutely beautiful but, is it value-preserving? Is it a good first watch?
My current favorite watch 😍
Did you hear about Walteri limited editions swiss watches, what’s your opinion? Do you recommend me to buy from them ?
Terrific watch and highly underrated. The price is what makes it a harder sell than it should otherwise be. It’s not a value watch because you’re still paying for the brand. But I could get a Rolex or Omega for just a little bit more, where I’m definitely also paying for the brand. For $2-3k this would be great. But at $4k? Well I may still get one…. or just a Seiko 5 instead
Yes, I thought it was just me. I can't imagine what happens in Jan after the price increase. 4k is just too much, plus tax.
@@lovinglife419are they looking to increase the price in jan?
Can anyone confirm if the bracelet tapers? If so, does it taper 19mm to 16mm?
Cant wait to see a BB 54 review from you Teddy
would love to see a version with a date as well. they are beautiful watches as is tho
@Teddy Baldassarre I think it's perfect buddy! It's dressy, it is sporty and wowin for Me Teddy. I like the light champagne dial 👍👍 cheers! 🥂
Is there one with the oyster bracelet?
the Tudor Royal (smaller size) is super underrated imo
Great review of a beautiful Tudor. Wish I waited for this Black Bay 36 instead of purchasing my two Seiko SPDs.
Yeah…a Seiko is always a regret over time…two Seikos though, that’s really sad.
I need this with a fluted bezel!!
Love my new 39mm Tudor Black Bay in anthracite grey.
Imo, Tudor needs to keep a clear distinction between its line up. They continue to add, alter, and redesign too often. Collectively I believe this deflates the value and deminishes the brand identity. Just my two cents.
