The SUBMARINER of your DREAMS! 

BB58 Review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ImpFfi0ziag.html

Tudor is more attractive now than rolex

Love mine. Initially I wasn’t sure as it was too small for my 7.5 inch wrist. Now I love it

Best review of this watch so far. Less than 10 mins, data driven, no bs.

Congrats on the pickup! The thinner hands, lollipop seconds hand, and bezel text are all tasteful upgrades from the BB58 in my opinion.

I never noticed the end links for that strap. Absolutely love it! 😄

I’ve had it on the wrist now non-stop for 5 months

I think this would look perfect on my 6inch wrist. Can’t wait to get a call from my AD.

It looks stunning. I have the BB58 but I'm really tempted to get the 54 as well. There are definitely enough differences between the two. I also tend to agree with those that believe the 54 looks more refined than the 58.

The best part of it is that one to one vintage no hash bezel with the silver numerals

Awesome watch. This watch on the rubber is the best configuration

This is the exact feeling I had after I bought my Moser… I just love the smaller watches now - much more elegant on the wrist!

I'm with you...this watch on the rubber looks better than on the bracelet

I have asked my AD for that exact piece, rubber strap pf course. I am a good customer so I expect one soon. Nice acquisition!

For once, this might be the only Swiss dive watch that I would love to have, besides all the Seiko's I have owned. I really like Tudor as a brand too, they do listen, unlike the other brand w/ the crown..... Great review btw!

The BB54 is the goat. I have a 7 ¼” wrist and I love the classic 37mm size.

*UPDATE: After remeasuring the SECRET MEASUREMENT I believe it is 29mm even. Not 29.5mm* I use crystal press dies and sometimes they are not machined to the number showing on the die. off by a bit.

This is my opinion for this very cool subject: I have a family heirloom Rolex 6538 but will never wear it in the wild. As a matter of fact it is in a safe in a vault. I bought 5-digit sub back in 05-06 and still love it to this day and will always be in my rotation, but I also wanted to wear something vintage but there was nothing out there until the first Blackbay back in I guess 2010s some time. In hopes it would feel like the 6538, I found it was not and did not wear like it. 2018 comes around and the BB58 arrives. The BB58 wears almost exactly the same as a Rolex 6538. The BB58 is 39mm x 11.9mm in height x 47mm lug to lug and a lug width of 20mm. The crown is 6-6.5mm. The Rolex 6538 is 38mm x 15.2mm in height due to the doomed x 47mm lug to lug and a lug width of 20mm. The crown is I believe 8mm last I checked. I tried the BB54 and it was an awesome watch! Love the fit and feel but also did not fit like a 6538 at all which makes sense because it is a nod to an older vintage but even then it is it’s own thing as the vintage it is based off from 1954 it is based off is larger lug to lug and thickness. So the BB54 does not wear like a vintage but it wears very different in a good way. For me I wanted something like the 6538 and the BB58 is my preferred. Specifically, the Gilt dial. Lastly the lume on the BB54 is not as good as the BB58. I think depending on which vintage you like most would determine which you prefer. Another option is simply owning both the BB58 and 54. For me I am waiting for 2028. I have a feeling they will make some refinements with the original BB58. They will make changes with the gnarling on the bezel and crown and may shrink it down to 38mm. Now that is a watch worth waiting for in my opinion. But no one would be wrong to own that nice BB54.

Before watches and wonders I was going to the Tudor boutique on a weekly basis and complaining about how I just wanted a 6204 that I could wear at all times. I had them set a bb58 black aside for me and was about to pull the trigger when I thought that maybe I should wait for watches and wonders just in case, and low and behold

I've had the 58 for 3 years but I'd be curious to try the 54 on for sure.

Great video and great macro shots.

very nice shooting thank you

Love your macros 👍well done

Your review was great, as usual. I love the secret measurement part. This is a great release, but I tried on the rubber strap version (super comfy) and it ended up looking like a toy in the distance shots (full length mirror). It does wear bigger than one might think for 37mm, but it was still ultimately too small. I do think it was a bit small on your wrist in the distance shot, but not massively as on mine. My favorite of the more compact Tudors is the Pelagos 39, which I feel gives that vintage (39mm vintage, not early '50s vintage) Sub feel. Having tried on a vintage Sub, it felt eerily similar, with a much better build quality, naturally. I'm not afraid of smaller watches. I did just pick up a used SPB159 Alpinist on Seiko bracelet (like the bracelet on the SPB155), and at 38mm that is great on my wrist, even in the distance shots. That's about as small as I tend to want to go though. I was able to try on a lot of 36mm watches at the recent Chicago Windup Watch Fair. While the CW C63 36mm wore bigger than expected due to the bracelet and the Nodus Unity 36.5mm looked bigger than expected, it wasn't quite there for me. Both were very nice watches by the way. For average or smaller people, those may work great on wrist.

I have the BB58 and love it. I’m sure the 37mm watch on rubber is super comfortable, but the BB58 in 39mm is just a great size to display that beautiful dial, and very comfortable too. I switch from my Sub when I want a more casual wear(and no, they don’t really compare apples to apples). Nonetheless, a great watch on its own merit.

I was dying for a 6204 then they released this and I bought it and made it my one watch.

Great looking watch. Now all it needs is a date wheel for everyday use, then i'd buy it right away.

I just picked mine up last Friday from Tudor in NYC. Love the piece

Man, this does it, I gotta have the bb54! Thanks!!

We love that watch 🖤 and our curved end rubber strap is so beautiful on it 👍🏻

These are sweet. Hopefully I will get to try one on one day

I bought a new BB58 in blue last year and was very disappointed with the mass on my wrist. It is extremely thick and wore like a Rolex Deep Sea. I sold it after 3-4 times of wear for a considerable loss and bought a new no date Submariner as a replacement. The sub is a perfect watch. I also have a 2006 Daytona, 2023 rose gold date just on oyster and an identical datejust on jubilee. Of these the sub is the watch I pull from the case most often because it is the most satisfying to wear.

I have the BB54 and...wow. Rock solid movement (+0.5 sec/day), build quality, finishing and functionality. Suitable for more occasions than it isn't. GADA credentials with 20mm lug width and it'll likely hold good value. What more do you realistically need? Bravo Tudor

Sold by BB58 as well and will buy BB54 on rubber in early summer. At least i do not need to buy vanguard rubber straps this time :)

Glad to see you enjoy two door watches so much!

Very nice. I'm coming around to Tutor. I prefer rubber to bracelets, but I do not like the fitted Tutor metal end links like on the one and the Pelagos. I'm sure it would look great on other popular rubber/FKM straps such as a tropic or rally.

Great video and congrats man 👏 #tudorbros

Thanks for the excellent review. Do you see the polished mirror case as being inevitably scratched? Does one have to resign oneself to such scratches to enjoy the Tudor Black Bay models for the long-term?

Thanks for the brief introduction of this beautiful watch, well done. Perfect for my wrist which is exactly as yours. I also prefer the rubber band, looks great. One thing about the luminescence - in the comparison to the Seiko it seemed to fade very quick, but in this video you talked quite positive about it. Any experience in the meantime how long it lasts at with good visibility?

Nice watch!

Seem to be readily available on the rubber. Great watch as it wears bigger than its dimensions. Tudors movements are well regulated my bb58 runs +1second per day.

Nice watch…. Enjoy.

This is an exit watch. Perfect

Such rough hands under macro.

Where do you find the technical specs that tell the aluminium insert is hardened? Cannot find it on Tudor website.

I only bought spinnaker spence300.. its enought for me..like BB54..😅..

It looks perfect on you.

This is a great watch in every sense. But it’s crazy how the lume pip in the bezel is slightly misaligned in lots of the bb54s I see out there (mine included). Quality control not on point for a watch at this price point.

Would it be foolish purchase this while black bay 58 blue?

Love my 58 … I would have to see the 54 in hand the dimensions just seem to tiny

Mine just got in at AD.

Love mine so much but on the bracelet (to get more presence on my 7' wrist). Almost perfect watch. However, I tend to disagree with you on one point: the lume is a little bit feeble ( and it is for me the only drawback).

Thanks for the video! I feel the flat profile of the 54 makes it wear just as big as the 58. Edge gap on 58 is less on my 6.5” wrist so ergonomics are better too. I do agree the styling of the 54 is hard to beat but I can’t accept that kind of fit. This is a rare case where smaller isn’t better imo.

This watch is dead sexy.

Under macro, the Ginault really looks better finished, specifically the hands.

the all new two door Tudor lol

Oh yeah Falling. That fits you better. Sell the 58 And GO For this. GO GO GO 🎉 Falling

Should I buy with the strap or bracelet? What are the options to purchase a strap/bracelet later from an AD? Are there good aftermarket options?

i hope you can review the old version of the bb36

Do you / anyone have any info about the 600 vickers hardening of the alloy bezel? I never heard of this before and am wondering if it s true or a bit of dealer sales waffle? Very good review too :-)

When you make a video whit Perrelet Peripheral Dual Time Big Date ???

What do the rough finish hands under macro look like at distance in full length mirror?

A two door 54

It is perfect - design, size, tech, materials..but..it is just toо pretty to be dipped in either Sea or pool. A great diver/beater but for millionaires. I'd be happy enough with a Baltic Aquascaphe.

i like

How is the lume? I've heard reports of dark spots on the hour hand, as well as it not lasting as long as other Tudor models like the BB36 or the Pelagos.

$3600 is steep for a not really inouse movement. At that price COSC is a must for a simple 3 hand movement. Meanwhile the Longines Zulu Time is a more complicated, a true GMT that ALSO meets COSC for only $3k. Longines as a brand has an extra 150 years on Tudor, and that's heritage as one of the few brands that were building their own Chronographs including the famous flyback. Seems the more of this around rhe clock attention Tudor gets the more I realize how Rolex got so big with such a scant history of innovation. They knew how to maximize marketing and media to the limit. What bugs me about this homage to a vintage watch in particular is that because Rolex calls the shots all Black Bay models can ONLY have snow flake hands and they cant use Mercedes hands nor the Submariner name despite both of these things being a long standing part of Tudor history. That seems like a forced hierarchy to upsell to Rolex Submariners at a wildly inflated premium now. You used to be able to buy Rolex Submariners (even adjusting for inflation) for what you can only get a Tudor for now. Yet is Rolex delivering a five times better 3 hand diver over the 54? Not remotely the case. Btw, in my opinion the best value proposition between Rolex and Tudor is the Black Bay chronograph. Its a bit more money than the 3 hand BBs but at least your getting a more complicated movement on a panda dial which is timeless. Rolex prices are just beyond absurd for a brand that doesn't make a grand complication and has no heritage as an inhouse movement maker. But you cant argue with the masses. I just hope they dont start looking at Grand Seiko HiBeat GMT, Longines Heritage tuxedo Chrono and Zenith Pilot Auto and drive their prices up.

🖤 Love 🖤

Is the rubber strap srandard size? AD told me there is a smaller size too but not sure which one to order. 6.25 wrist

While owning the black Bay Blue

did you have to cut the rubber, or was it out of the box a great fit for you?

Do they only offer the one color dial?

Awesome video! Do let us know why did you really go with the rubber instead of waiting for the bracelet? Many thanks.

Great looking tool watch.

1:25 The hands look very poor quality. To be honest.

the hands look like they've got rough edges?

Rubber band or not?

Should I add this to my Pelagos 39?

Your wrist looks bigger than 6.5 inches. Is that accurate?

Happy NWD👏

Cute little watch.

Until Tudor writes 'Submariner' in red text on the dial and drilled out lugs...I won't be buying one.

Still find the 58 a more attractive watch.

Ceramic bezel and I'm in. Come on Tudor!!!!

Tried it on yesterday at the AD. It is SUPER TINY and may surprise you. See it in person just my advice

The lume on my bb54 is weak

That bezel is off very slightly but definitely not lined up

Its meeeh

The Tudor used to be the poor man's Rolex but since a decade ago, it's a stand alone brand. Altho I do appreciate from every aspect the Tudor, whether it's 58 or 54 , pelagos 39 or 42 it hasn't clicked for me yet. When finally Rolex adopted the ceramic insert, back in 07, saw each and every aluminum insert model as outdated (with just one as an exception) and rushed to buy the sub and the GMT master ii. Sold almost every aluminum bezel insert models. Now, in the year 2023, Tudor still use aluminum inserts......many have no issues with that, but I do and that's what matters. At the end of the won't be the aluminum insert fan that will pay for my watch, I'll be paying it and want it with ceramic or sapphire. As for this model in the vid, am not a huge fan of vintage or vintage look or vintage remakes. Despite my age(and should have been attracted to vintage) I prefer classic but with modern applications watches. Same way I do with cars, won't go to extravagant modern designs but anything with classic and elegant lines, has to be updated with modern materials and technologies. Would I opt for an electric car, same way I reject anything battery/quartz/solar powered in watches, electric car is a firm no go as well. Thanks for the vid.

The submariner is the watch of my dreams and I have it

nice review. IMO it looks to small on your wrists... but nonetheless, its a beautiful time piece..

Without the red triangle, the 54 looks flat compared to 58.

Did this guy just say about Rolex ‘they really do take care of watch enthusiasts’ ? 🤣

Tried it on the wrist at AD, didnt like it (was too small for me)…great for smaller wrist. Also I dont care for gilt dials. Hanging on to my blue 58 for now.

SS preferably 👍👍👍

Ceramic bezel ❓

Nice ladies watch.

I would have much more preferred a glossy black dial. The rest is perfect but that is not a detail to my eyes.

Something changed. They released the 54.

When will they change the ugly hour hand, it seems like the same design on repeat with Tudor
