This is the best watch review channel. Somehow, you review every single watch I've been interested in, even older and more obscure luxury models, while most other channels only review what's the currently 'hype'. No nonsense music in the background, no long intros with drinking coffee and looking pretentious or talking about irrelevant things, or "sponsors". Just straight to the point with honest facts and excellent in depth analysis while keeping it short! Meanwhile, other reviewers talk about how the watch "feels" but never mention the dimensions, materials, or small details such as the 16mm tapered clasp with ceramic ball bearings, or its 60 click bezel and not 120. Great job!
If Tudor honestly slims their thicness - they won't be beat... ALSO, on the Chronos (of which I have the S&G and have a deposit for the Black Dial) if they ditch the date window, make even thinner (the new ones aren't thinner than the S&Gs), and add a 3rd sub-dial at 6 (so, subdials at 3, 6, and 9... NOT 6, 9, n 12) That will be 200% game changer...
I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've owned for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and bezel compared to the 'bling-blue' ceramic of my Omega Seamaster 300. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. The blue really pops in daylight or in well-lit rooms and a pleasure to wear. Although not quite up there with the Rolex in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it be when barely 35% of the retail price - go to an AD and try one on. In-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve.... you won't be disappointed.
Just got this one on a Nato since I’m not a bracelet guy. It’s the perfect size! At least for me 7” wrist. I tried the black bay 36mm and 41mm blue dial but one was too little and the other surprisingly not as sleek as this 39mm blue bomber!! I love it.
Damn I thought it was just my BB58 blue, but even in this video it's apparent that the case and the bracelet have a different colour. It's very subtle but definitely there.
The salt in my hair has just begun to overtake the pepper. I tried on both the Blue and the Black dials at my AD, and my daughter whispered that the Blue looked too young for me 😕, but I’m happy with the Black dial 58 as the gilt goes well with my bronzy skin tone.
I got an aluminium Pepsi insert for a Rolex gmt and Rolex charged me £40/$50 and fitted it in 20mins while I waited at Rolex Service Centre London. People often disregard the aluminium bezels but they’ve been around for decades and are far more robust than we give them credit for and also far cheaper to replace! Just my tuppence worth 👍🏼👍🏼
I ve heard rolex 50 times in this video. If this is the main reason you want this piece then don't even bother, you will hate it and end up buying a sub.
Sold my 114060 and brought a 58 Blue. Clasp isn’t as good, bezel isn’t as good but other than that and for the money, it’s a fantastic watch. For some weeks I had both and found the 58 to be as accurate as the Sub. Outstanding movement by Tudor.
@@aizasace3750 exactly. I purchased a BB because I like it. Stupid to buy things to impress people you don't even know. Most wouldn't know a $250 Seiko from a $250k Patek.
@@lurox5183 this works too although I think the blue BB58 is soulless compared to the black one which has so much going on... and which is why I got the black one. That’s just my opinion.
There's something about the shade of blue which is underwhelming. It's a shame they didn't consider the same shade of blue as the BB36. It just lacks that POP

Now we need a GMT with these dimensions and color scheme, with a lighter blue GMT hand 🤤 all the current gmt offerings from Tudor feel like Rolex homages..
If I had to design a watch, my ideal watch case size would be 47-49mm lug to lug, 39-41 diameter, 20mm or 22mm lug width, 10-12.5mm thick. This watch fits the criteria!
Perfect dimensions, great looks but let down by the bracelet : the fake rivets are outright annoying and the lack of on the fly adjustment on the clasp at this price level, not to threaten the Submariner supremacy, is a poor decision IMO. Would have been an almost perfect watch otherwise.
You don't see the rivets when its on the wrist.. a bigger issue is the lack of date for me. Would be an absolute strap-monster so can find something to suit and make it a bit lighter and more comfortable to wear.

I agree! On Top he has the same wrist size as me - so I ALWAYS know how any watch I'm interested in would look on me haha! :-D
agreed. Best watch channel by miles.
Tim is The Man. His 5 minute reviews are better and more informed than others at 20 plus minutes.
This watch is on my wrist as I watch this video. Love it.
hehe same
@@martinlutherking6550 same LFG
AD Just called today, got it :)
I am saving for it, just a few more months. Is there a waiting list for this particular model?
Let’s hope for a GMT in this case size from Tudor this year.
I know I would buy one.

A GMT and a Chronograph in 39mmm and Tudor will have no competitor in this price range.
@@vunguyenchannel So true.
Let's keep hoping! Lol

Lol, rude!
Real beater watch.
I love this watch and the gmt version. Not sure which I want more! EDIT: ended up getting this model!
Tim can you review the Tudor ‘Harrods’ Special Edition please
How come you got to review the bleu version before the black one on a bracelet , that one is 2 year older
Probably because no one is parting with theirs.
Still very much love my BB58 blue.
For as much as people complain about this bracelet I can’t seem to find the damn watch in stock anywhere. Y’all are fake hating.
Prices have come down quite a bit eBay and Chrono24... worth a look. I sold mine but I think it would look good on a leather strap.
Should I buy this or the BBGMT?
Great review!!!
I am hoping for a BB58 GMT for 2021 🙏🏿 Tudor please 🙌🏿
Done
Good work 👌
Hi, do you know if the hands is white gold?
Best
No
I might get one of these. Ceramic bezel would be nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Very good point Sir.
Most people buy this because they don’t want to pay silly money and wait forever for a sub…

I love this watch because it’s not a Rolex. That’s a major reason I bought it.
If they do this size in black then I'd be interested
Please email us at tmosso@thewatchbox.com for pricing and additional details. Thanks for watching!
Wearing mine right now
Love the black version. But a blue BB... I’d rather buy the blue SMP 300m diver instead.
Or both!!

@@wristroll_vlad The black one looks a bit too chocolate-boxy for me with the faux patina... the blue is a great colour.
Hoping Tudor will bring out a green one this year…
@@aizasace3750 that would be nice
I’m torn between this and the breitling super ocean 42. Both are similarly priced but with one is better for the money?
Not that I’m buying watches for investment / resell but I do think Tudor hold their value better than Breitling.
Que relógio lindo , parabéns pelo canal.
There's something about the shade of blue which is underwhelming. It's a shame they didn't consider the same shade of blue as the BB36. It just lacks that POP
I hear ya, but IMO that’s what makes this one special. Very vintage styling and sizing. If you want flashy, get a sub!
Got it early this week on a bracelet. It’s great. I don’t even notice the rivets and frankly I personally don’t care. The box came with a nato strap.

Cool watch I have the big brother.
Skeuomorph. Now I can use that in a sentence.

So does 90 % of the Rolex line up lol
Just needs the date
Isn’t a skeuomorph that monster from aliens?!
Perfect dimensions, great looks but let down by the bracelet : the fake rivets are outright annoying and the lack of on the fly adjustment on the clasp at this price level, not to threaten the Submariner supremacy, is a poor decision IMO. Would have been an almost perfect watch otherwise.
Why not get it on the strap?!
You don't see the rivets when its on the wrist.. a bigger issue is the lack of date for me. Would be an absolute strap-monster so can find something to suit and make it a bit lighter and more comfortable to wear.
Those fake rivets threw me off completely. I just can’t get over them
This guy could sell mud to the earthworms
Grail!
Tim, breath! Breath while you're narrating and in general, breath! 😂
If they made this blue dial in 41, I would jump on it.
And a ceramic bezel
They do. It's called a submariner
@@dr_addyman in blue? Lol no
@@4liter lol, they do. 126613Lb. Look it up. 41mm, blue dial, ceramic bezel.
@@dr_addyman ss/yellow gold, $14,500, never in stock. Great alternative 🤨😂
Please provide wrist sizes in inches lol
Once they remove those fake rivets its a complete package
After getting the watch the fivets;) (fake rivets) have grown on me... gives it character
Why ever did they not add a date complication
hublow is king!!! 👑👑👑👑👑
Hublot gae
Hand cream!!!
Also, the faux rivets are a deal breaker for me.
