I bought the Tudor Black Bay 54. Here's what you need to know 

It’s not irresponsible, you just needed a new watch to celebrate your recovery 🎉

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

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!

Thanks for posting! Hope you continue to heal, it’s good to see you well enough to be excited about a new watch!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Happy recovery! The whole watch fam is rooting for you!

Congrat on your new watch!🎉 wish you the best!

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...

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 :)

So glad your feeling better, great video!

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%

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.

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.

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

Congratulations for that beautiful watch , enjoy it and get better , thanks for showing.

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!

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.

Looking good Britt! Glad you're on the mend! I love this new watch! This could easily be a one and done for many!

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 ❤

Congratulations Britt! A watch to celebrate your recovery was needed. So glad your on the mend 🎉

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.

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.

Love it Britt! Best of luck with you healing post surgery.

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!

"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!

Knew you’d buy it! Sounds like you are recovering so quickly! Great video and buy as always :)

Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.

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.

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

After everything youve been through Britt you deserve a treat!!!! Enjoy in good health, Much love!!!

Finally, someone who wears a watch properly and doesn't complain about the comfort of a watch while they have it sized so big that the the crown is digging in to them and pushing the skin up on their hand !! Excellent video. 👍

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.

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! 👌

Congrats! I would definitely love to see a comparison video! Glad you’re feeling better!

You are sounding much better Britt! and congrats on the watch 💞

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.

Definitely need a comparison video. Congrats on the gorgeous watch.

Congrats on the new watch. Looks so nice.

Lovely watch 🙌🏻. Glad to see you everyday better 🙏🏻

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.

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.

Great review thanks, probably the one that will sway me to get one!! hope you get well soon 👍👍

Brilliant. Congratulations on the new watch and wow look at how well you are recovering!

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.

After what you have been through, why not ! Also the 54 is a perfect watch size for you and looks great 👍

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 💪

Wish you a speedy recovery. Congrats on your new Tudor…$$$well spent!!

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)!!

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 😀

The watch is lovely and looks perfect on your wrist, Britt. Hope you have a “speedy” recovery (Omega pun in a Tudor comment LOL).

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😅

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…

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.

Congratulations on your new watch. You deserve it. 😎👍👏👏👏

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).

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 👍

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

Love it. Congrats Britt!

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.

The dial looks to have a sunburst finish? Or is it just the lighting?

Congratulations for beeing spontaneous! Get well soon!

Look great and sounding better, Britt. Improving video by vid. Good luck, and congrats on the purchase. Vintage Tudor a mist see. 💯💯💯💯

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.

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.

I wish you a speedy recovery, the watch community needs you!

I just found your channel. As a fellow content creator on youtube? I'm impressed. Love the b-roll, the background music, and overall format. Subscribed. As far as the BB 54 I am worried if it will fit my 7.25" wrist.

I like Tudor, but 54mm is too large for me.

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).

Hope your recovery is going well. Congrats on the lovely new watch, you deserve a treat after all you've been through.

Looks good on you Britt….congrats! And I wish you a speedy recovery ☀️🇨🇦

wasted money imo

Congratz on your purchase. Looks so clean! I called my AD for the BB54 which said it already has a waiting list:(

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 the new watch and wishing you a fast revery. Miguel

I hope you’re feeling better!!!! Congratulations on your watch.

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...

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!

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.

Congratulations on your new watch!

Glad to see that you are feeling better ! Sending love from Singapore ❤ 🇸🇬

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!

He’ll’s to the yes for the comp vid! That cannot be released quick enough!:D gz on the new watch, it really suits u!🎉

Yes we need a comparison video with this and the BB58! Congratulations on the new watch, great video and speedy recovery

Glad u back xxxx

Great vid. Keep them coming.

Congrats! Enjoy the watch! 😃

You're a champion, always enjoy your reviews

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.

Britney! An in-depth comparison between the BB54 & BB58? Absolutely! Take care of that jaw! 🙏 for a full recovery!

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.

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!

Love to see the comparison! 😍

You deserve this watch! Hope you feel better soon, Britt! ☀️

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.

New sub here. Congrats for your new watch and have a good recovery.
