Does the Pelagos 39 still count? Or was that 2022? If it doesn't than the Opaline GMT.

@johnscholl6719 Год назад

I’m 6ft tall 190lbs and have a 7inch wrist. I picked my BB54 up from my AD a few hours ago and am obsessed with the size. Compared it to the 58 and preferred the 54

@anthonystevens8683 Год назад

I think Tudor have hit a home run with the BB54. Previously people with slimmer wrists were only offered the BB non diver line but now there is a whole new bunch of people who could now wear a diver that fitted them. The dial if I'm not mistaken also exhibits a mild sunray effect similar to the Pelagos 39 that might just give the watch that little more versatility. The T-Fit clasp is very well done and one of the best in my humble opinion as a Pelagos 39 owner with this clasp. A great overview Harrison of a great watch. I look forward to seeing this watch in the flesh at some point. Thanks for sharing.

@travisharrisphotography Год назад

I can confirm there is no sunburst at all on the dial. Saw in person, its flat just like the BB58

@anthonystevens8683 Год назад

@@travisharrisphotography My smallest diver is a 39 and that fits fine. It would be interesting to see how the BB54 compares as it looks like Tudor have done a really great job with this model.

@travisharrisphotography Год назад

@@anthonystevens8683 Yep, they did! Shockingly, when you take your BB58 off and put on the 54, the really only thing you notice that is different is the thickness and that it's slightly lighter. The overall size with the lug to lug wears (almost) identical to the 58 in the flesh. This is mainly due to the fact the lugs extend straight for a bit before turning down vs. on the 58 they turn down right away etc. (58 more round and 54 more rectangle). But, overall the 54 feels like a more refined 58 in many ways. The smaller dial is not an issue and after about 10-min you already get used to it and don't notice anything different from the 58. I actually think the biggest issue would be wearing the 54 for a long time (a week or more) and then putting back on the 58, I could see not wanting to wear the 58 anymore as it would be a watch that looks almost the same, but is larger LOL. (especially if its the black 58). For me, I have the blue.. so that maybe enough of a difference. I am still not sure what I want to do.

@danlaclair01 Год назад

I have 6.75" wrist and I think anything over 40mm looks ridiculous on me. 36-39 is my preference. I'm always surprised when you say you have a 6.5" wrist and think watches are too small for you.

@GrandLotus Год назад

Tudor have done it again this year. I love this and the updated Black Bay 41.

@Hank-fj8kr Год назад

Comments on the 54 are interesting only because they are EXACTLY what people were saying about the 58, they made a watch nobody asked for but everyone praised despite being a big step back design wise imho.

@bullitt411 Год назад

Great review and analysis. I feel the same way, just a bit too small, but that ok....it's a crackin watch. After wearing everything from 36-46mm over the years, 39-40mm seems to be the sweet spot for my wrist. Glad to see Tudor catering to some folks who might like a smaller, more vintage size watch.

@arnaldorodrigues5556 Год назад

I had decided to buy a black bay 58 for my birthday this month and I confess that after the launch of the 54 at Watches and Wonders I was in doubt whether I should change to the smaller one. In the end I chose the bigger one (BB58) and I couldn't have made a better decision. It fit perfectly on my wrist (which has a similar diameter to yours) and I am very satisfied.

@tbprofile1295 Год назад

The lug to lug length, which could be the most important part in terms of sizing, is not small at all and not significantly reduced as compared to the BB58.

@c1pher428 Год назад

I had the opportunity to put this on my wrist and it exceeded my expectations. Great little watch, feels good on the wrist and doesn’t feel as small as you think. Would I buy it, no, I personally prefer the new burgundy and a little weight on my wrist. But this is a great addition to the collection whole collection.

Some says the explorer 36 is too small, some enthusiasts say it should be 36, but as mass market tell us, 39+ is the trend for modern mass market, as we see they are offering 40 mm explorer just couple years after they killed the 39mm

@key4duty Год назад

Absolutely gorgeous watch! Really like the way Tudor is heading, they do really listen. The BB54 doesn't seem too small to me. Problem is I already own the BB58 79030N-001 which is too similar, If I had a blue one I would've tried this one for sure.

@key4duty Год назад

@@dannyperfect9270 true, but it's a vintage inspired watch so the rivets do have a place in the design. Personally I think they add to the vintage aesthetic. And they aren't that noticeable when I wear the watch.

@@oysterman962 I have a Black Bay 36, in gold and stainless steel. My very first automatic. That’s the watch which sparked my curiosity. BB54 might be next one, but I’m curious about the new salmon Royal 34mm. Everything else in* salmon is 40+; and everything brands call Salmon in 30s is actually bubble gum pink (no thank you). Tudor is actually doing a great job.

@oysterman962 Год назад

@@lovinglife419 Welcome to this hobby of spending lots of money chasing time! I tried on the 36 in steel with blue dial. I think it wears better for me than the BB54. I currently wear a BB58 & Rolex OP 36mm with tri-Arabic blue dial & fluted white gold bezel. The Tudor 36 comes so close to perfect in comparison to my Rolex. The specs are great.

37mm would work for me if I wanted a dive watch. The releases I like are the BB31, 36 etc. with in-house movements. I'm considering a blue BB36.

@medroastt9888 Год назад

BB58 at 39mm case is actually perfect, they just need to make lug to lug shorter, simplify the dial/bezel design and redesign (overhaul) the bracelet, i.e. no rivet and better clasp (as in BB54). And we have a winner.

@jasongultjaeff9397 Год назад

It looks really nice and the size is fine with the lug to lug length. I think it's good that smaller watches are coming into style and I think this following that trend. Kind of prefer the look of the Longines Hydroconquest better, but this may be a higher quality watch overall. Not sure.

@ThePlaiibox Год назад

The 58 is still arguably the best overall dive watch for the majority of people. Golden sizes and specs. It's a bit of a killer because once you get one. No other dive watch really compares. Even the ol' subby is chunky by comparison.

Making this watch is a smaller size is a smart move. It will appeal to a huge portion of the market. If they had made it first, before the 41mm, I'd be less happy. But having it in more sizes is a good thing.

@biggestkev666 Год назад

Nah, the lug to lug is still pretty long for a 37mm, so it wears much larger (just like my BB58 to be honest). I have seen it in person.

@Csibu89 Год назад

It's all personal preference, but by no means does it look too small on you. I'd actually argue that this is the right size for a slim wrist like 5.5-6.5inches. I'm an averagely built guy at around 210lbs, 5'11" and a 7.3inch wrist, and I prefer watches around 38-42mm. It all comes down to what you prefer, but a 37mm watch is right for almost anyone. Heck even a 36mm Explorer I with its lack of a diving bezel, fits almost anyone perfectly. That said, me for my wrist, I would definitely go with a BB58, or a Pelagos 39.

@NathanHassall Год назад

Contrary to your view... 37mm is actually the perfect size for your wrist. 41-42mm Sub is ideal for a mans man who works hard everyday. The dimensions of the larger watch gravitated towards the customer (back in the day) and the trends followed that cue....today, guys like you and Teddy Baldassarre buy them as fashion accessories not military men who need the functionality.

@ilmostro16 Год назад

Buys $3500 wristwatch, saves $200 to wear it on a rubber strap. Is that like buying a Ferrari on stamped steel wheels with plastic hubcaps? 😜 I think this BB54 is one of those watches that maybe has to be experienced in person because it does look a bit plain in photos and videos to me. I think its the bezel having silver markings rather than gilt like the BB58’s markings. This seems off to me given everything on the dial is gilt. Also the missing red triangle on the 54 loses some visual interest. I still hope Tudor does the following for me: Add an option to the BB58 for the t-fit clasp jubilee bracelet. That will be my perfect Tudor; who is with me? Imagine a BlackBay 58 with the jubilee bracelet from the new 41mm model!
