Tudor just released the new Black Bay 58 925 with a case made of silver. This will likely be THE watch of Watches and Wonders 2021. Tudor shocked us by introducing a solid yellow gold version with a green dial and bezel to round up the two new precious metal variants of the BB58. The BB58 925 comes with more changes. Now the entire case has a brushed finish and most importantly it now has a sapphire exhibition case back which makes it the first Black Bay and only the second ever watch from Tudor to have one.
Despite the excitement, last year’s release, the Black Bay 58 Blue is still as popular as ever. I have owned the Black Bay Blue since the release, and the new Silver BB58 925 really got me thinking about what I love and what I hate about my watch, which I will go into in detail. So the main question remains: should I sell the BB58 Blue and get the BB58 925 in its place?
