We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

I've had mine for 2 months now and you got it right! Basically within a day or two the thickness disappeared because like you said, we see our watches from the front and from the front the thickness is a non-issue. It's such a good looking watch and most importantly it's just about the most comfortable watch I've ever owned!

I feel like Tudor can't put a foot wrong right now. Vintage models aside, I think Tudor is now MUCH cooler than Rolex & the BB Pro is a beauty.

Shifted my 58 for the Pro - completely rashly and very happy I did. Happened to walk into an AD and they had one to buy - as soon as I had it on wrist it gave me a feeling the 58 didn’t, it has so much more character and presence and yet at it’s heart it’s still a great tool watch

This in a white dial would be an immediate purchase. God I love Tudor. Started with the BB GMT, next will be a Pelagos and I’d love a BB Pro in white. A BB Pro in black just feels a bit too close to the GMT (that being said those markers are amazing)

I have both the BB pro and Tudor GMT, you feel the heft of the GMT at 41mm, the pro doesn’t feel too thick or slab sided and on a bracelet it wears very comfortably - both are amazing watches and I wear the GMT when I’m craving the heft and weight

Was waiting for this one! Glad you’re reviewing it

I bought the BB GMT one year and 4 months ago and still prefer this watch over the BB Pro which is a beautiful watch but I'm more than happy with my GMT in every single way. Thanks for another excellent video.

I’ve been wearing mine for six weeks. The thickness gave me pause when I bought it, but I don’t even notice that anymore. The combination of being a 39, having a slightly sloped bezel, and part of the thickness coming from the dome crystal all make it wear smaller than when you hold it in your hands. Also the lug to lug length combined with the fact the bracelet has full range of motion means it really conforms to the wrist. After a week or two, I found it wears beautifully.

I tried on the bb 41mm GMT and said hard no immediately for my size wrist. Felt top heavy and chunky. Bought the pro in May. Still haven't taken it off. I'd love the midcase to be a couple mm smaller but it is minor and most importantly, it is probably the most comfortable tool watch I've ever worn. Worth every dollar. The 2mm of glass and bevelled down fixed bezel make so much of a difference.

Well presented as usual. Love the analogies - they are spot on. The back of your head comment - brilliant

So good. So well articulated. Great review. Best BB Pro review so far 👍🏼🌟

As someone with small wrists (6.25”), I was worried about the thickness. But when I put it on, it really isn’t an issue in actual practice. I would prefer it a couple mms thinner, but it simply isn’t a problem IMO

Excellent review… and let me tell you after over a month on the wrist I just don’t wear anything else! Well, I lie… the square GShock takes P1 when a hammer is present, but once I smash my thumb and my wife gives me that look… the Black Bay Pro goes back on and the world it’s right once more. Let me summarize. My favorite watch was the 16570 (1994, stolen in 98) and it wasn’t until 2022 that I bought myself a proper GMT. And this one feels and looks better than the last. Now all I have left to do is sell my collection and use the funds to travel to far off lands so that I may once again use the GMT function as intended. Thanks again for the review, I was anxiously awaiting your thoughts.

I’ve got the GMT. Don’t think twice about the thickness. I WAS worried about the durability of the Aluminium bezel for everyday wear - but I bought it before the pro was available. Shouldn’t have been concerned, hasn’t picked up so much as a mark (yet). For me a 41 works better (I like a bigger watch) so I’d still choose the GMT. I happen to like (and use) the Pepsi bezel a lot (I travel all the time, like every week). I haven’t adjusted the time since I bought it. There’s no requirement: it hardly loses or gains a second. Quite astonishing. But there’s no doubt that the Pro is a total steal. And the best bit of all? You don’t have to interact with the utterly grotesque Rolex dealers.

I just picked up mine on a steel bracelet a week ago, waited about a month to get it from my local AD in CA. I have 7 inch wrists and I think it is perfect for me. The thickness doesn't bother me at all. Now if Tudor adds the Pro's crown the Tfit clasp and a bit larger teeth on the bezel to the BB58, that will definitely be my next watch. Thank you.

I absolutely love this. And I've kept note of it. I plan on getting a promotion abroad in the next couple of years and really, this would be the perfect daily wear if and when I get it. With that promotion, this would (just about) come into the range of affordability, and it would look stunning. It's rare that you can get such a great watch for that price anymore.

The black bay pro is perfect for us guys with smaller wrists. Tried one on at a Tudor AD near me and my god, is it comfortable. Definitely on the radar for one now.

thickness is an on-paper only problem. I had more of a 39mm concern (8.25 inch wrist). One try.. that went away and the thickness is 100% NOT an issue. Fantastic watch. Sits nicely on the wrist. Looks like a new old stock vintage piece. I love it. It will slip into my collection next to the BBGMT, North Flag, and BB Chrono. Welcome home, buddy!

I am so happy that I ended up buying a blue 58 at retail this winter. It is effortlessly cool and I like the design for the exact opposite reasons in this video. I don’t like the steel bezel, nor the painted hands. I love my white gold rings on the bezel and the blue shades. The height is important for me and the proportions are just right with the 58 on a bracelet. I hope everyone’s gets what they like. I am very much content 👍🏻

I was putting off purchasing either the GMT or Pro cos everyone was talking about its thickness. For some reason I still went to my AD and wanted to trial it. I remember I tried the pro first and it was nice but then when I tried the GMT, even though a bit more larger, I absolutely loved it! I have 16.5 cm wrists and I like how it felt, the weight and the case proportions. Didn't feel like it was thick at all, in fact you completely forget about it! I guess what I am trying to get at is, you must must must go check these watches in person and reserve your judgement till then.

It’s a wonderful highly accurate true GMT sports watch and extremely comfortable on the adjustable bracelet. It has barely lost a second since purchased and is anti-magnetic, 200m water resistant, awesome lume, brushed bezel goes under the radar, 39mm perfect dial size. The crown is excellent just perfect. Honestly, I’ll probably be looking to get the polar white dial version which I hope Tudor releases in 2023. The domed glass helps it slide under a collar, the thickness is something you don’t really feel when wearing day to day. The barber / hairdresser analogy is spot on as 99% of time you observe the dial. 5 year warranty, AD told me no need to service for 10 years.

I needed this review. Thank you.

I’m getting mine on Monday and I can’t wait. I normally wear a 41mm watch so the added weight from the thickness actually compensated for the slight loss in diameter. Great video as always

The negative thing just jumped out at me! The black paint where the hands stack looks extremely sloppy, the rest of the watch is fantastic and it was about time they improved the bracelet

I was lucky enough to get mine back in April on Bracelet. I love it. The perfect watch for holiday travel. That doesn't draw too much unwanted attention. On the wrist and without Macro vision the painting on the hands is fine, just more tool-like than the polished hands on the other models. I have the 58 too and both are different enough to keep in the collection. Great video as always.

I visited a Tudor AD in Bermuda last week fully prepared to purchase a BB Pro. Alas, not only did they not have one, they had not yet even seen one. I purchased a Bremont S301 Supermarine instead. Still on the hunt for one, but not for awhile. Good vid. keep at it!

I'll have to try on this watch. Some 39mm pieces will work on my 7-1/4-inch wrist. But many just don't look right. Given its thickness and styling, it might work. But 41-42mm generally looks the best for me. However, one can't deny that this Tudor is a handsome watch.

Well if they made it thinner then it will be a direct competitor to the Rolex explorer II and i don’t think they would want that, i have it, it’s super comfortable, if people didn’t talk much about the thickness issue i probably wouldn’t even have noticed it

Faux Rivet bracelet- no problem No rotating 24hr bezel- no problem Thickness- no problem However the paint on the hands is the deal breaker, poor finishing. Went home with the Tudor GMT Pepsi after seeing both in person.

Thanks for addressing the thickness issue. Great video!

The 1655 is my favorite rolex ref but I always wish it had a true gmt feature and not just a 24hour hand. This may be the perfect sports watch for me. It’s also a fraction of the cost while having modern reliability. It would be a no brainer if I didn’t already own a 58.

Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the nkuwan queen picked up at Fendi

A few months ago, I went to a local Rolex AD, which also sells Tudor. I inquired, but they didn't have a Black Bay Pro. Just to bullshit with the sales guy, I said "I heard the Pro is a bit thick." His response, "The only people that say that are the ones that can't afford it." I laughed in his face and walked out.

I have a 126610LN and I really wanna have this as a work-watch, a real beater. Looks so good.

The luminous ceramic indexes have been used by H. Moser & Cie. for quite some time now in their heritage line

I have wanting a Black Bay 41 for a long time and went to try on the new one. It was okay, then I saw this in the case. It wasn't on my radar but it looked good. As soon as I put it on, I loved it. It's sitting on my wrist as I type this. Terrific watch, great value. Don't dismiss it until you try it on.

I own the BB58 Blue, BB ceramic (and North Flag) Love them. I tried the Pro on and did not like the block indices at all. Much prefer the ringed versions on the other BBs.

the banner showing you the back of your head reference .... that is a first ! lol. Awesome review guys

I was never a fan of the snowflake hand but now see it as a Trader trait, I bought my very first Tudor a few months ago and just love it, I bought the BlackBay 41mm, I see Tudor as the new tool watch which I once saw Omega do the job well (too fancy now) The thickness fades away once on the wrist but to be honest I enjoy thicker watches. The in house movement doesn't get praised enough by reviewers I cannot state how accurate the movement is esp at the price point, it winds butter smooth and the rotor super quiet and everything just as a solid Click from the bracelet clasp to the dive bezel.

"Faded orange": new euphemism for YELLOW

Thank you for another great video

I was very close to getting a Black Bay Pro but ultimately went with a pre-owned Rolex 16570 because it was slimmer on my skinny wrist and the white dial just spoke to me more. The Tudor is a great watch though. If it came in white I probably would have gotten it for the sheer value.

Received my BB Pro to add to the collection and it is a stunner. It wears beautifully. Anyone with a shred of doubt, don’t stare at KZfaq go and put one on. Value for money is outstanding.

The best video in a long time... Back to form.

I hope Tudor makes a polar dial BB Pro!!! Tudor is doing great things for us collectors. They're giving us the chance to buy effortless and cool pieces at great prices without playing the waiting list game. With the savings, we can go out and buy pieces from Moser, JLC, or something for Rolex money.

I went in to the AD on Thursday to register my interest in the pro, which I do still want. I did however walk out with a reverse panda chronograph that more than a few people on the list failed to collect.

Ants toe nail clipping 😂 Yet another great presentation of a brand that I’m very fond of. Thanks for this.

You are the right one to talk about watches.

When the Black Bay Pro came out, I felt intrigued, because it kind of is exactly what I am looking for… I daily a Nomos Tangente, but wanted something more rugged and water proof for holidays and more casual moments, and suddenly, here it is. And it has a GMT function, which makes it even more interesting for my warm weather pursuits… but at the same time Seiko SPB143 is just so amazing and it costs only half of the Tudor and I am utterly torn which one to take… But then again, this is a problem that I am sure half the world would love to have right now, so I guess we watch guys can be happy we even have two amazing choices like this

Thanks.... I just ordered this watch. Looks great...Cant wait to get it soon...

Keep up the good work

I haven't tried this on but what I have seen and heard, this watch is a must for the money who offers anything Better, I have a black bay 58 blue, 2yrs on and I still love this watch. Hopefully I can go watch shopping next year This gmt has to be my next watch hmm maybe the Fxd is in the running also because I were my 58 on different Strapes any but the gmt pro is better value imo excellent review as always

Great review. When r u doing the black bay ceramic?

The black bay GMT is the thickest object known to history so trying this on felt great compared and a welcome next step for tudor, just wish it was the Pepsi.

Excellent video and advice as always…!!

I was not too wild about Tudor, but this one got me. Awsome!

The barber shop analogy 😹😹😹

Have the Tudor Pepsi GMT, BB58, and now the PRO GMT. I have pretty small wrist but the thickness of the PRO doesn't bother me much, the watch looks stunning! I only wish they didn't design it so that you can't use the BB58 stainless strap on the PRO as I bought mine on the rubber/leather. Ended up having to shell out to get the steel strap on the PRO.

When this first got announced, I really liked it, then I saw the price and I liked it even more! It really is a bargain for what it is! I've loved the BB58 for a long time now and this has more than likely took its place on my wishlist, I haven't been to an AD to try this on yet but I have tried a few models of the 58 and it's really nice, they fit great, my daily is my SKX007 and that is a CHUNKY watch so the size of the Pro wouldn't phase me at all. The part about the barber showing you the back of your head cracked me up :'D couldn't be more accurate! Edit: I tried it out a few weeks back, it felt great and looked amazing! It was really hard to walk out of Goldsmiths without it on my wrist 😅 I promised myself my next watch was going to be a Speedy so I'm sticking to that, then I'll be picking up the Black Bay Pro for my first GMT watch 😎

Love it, want it, gonna buy it, Cheers for the review 👍

Disappointed by the size and lack of crown guards. They could have utilized the female end link better by decreasing the length and giving us more girth. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

got the BB58 OG and a 5 digit Polar Explorer II from the 90s. The perfect combo

Cool looking timepiece, Tudor are becoming such a nice brand !

I have a blue BB58 and on my skinny 160mm wrist it's perfect. Tried this one on and the thickness actually is a deal-breaker for me, feels top-heavy. I have a Christopher Ward Sealander GMT which is actually a bit thinner than the BB58 and a great watch too.

I own it. The thicknest is really not an issue in my opinion, at least on the bracelet. On a strap however, it might be for some eyes, because you easily catch the thickness of the watch between the lugs... Meh, not an issue for me either. But the weight ! The BB PRO is easily the heaviest watch in my collection and I was quite surprise by that. I had to get used to it honestly but now I love it. The look is stunning, the functionality too, playing with the crown is very satisfying... I love how, at midnight, all the snowflakes on the hands line up perfectly.

I saw and tried the pro in a shop, it was great. And then I bought the 58 Silver 😆

The size of pro is about the same size as my GS SBGE253 (40 mm dia. and 14.6 mm thick) which I initially thought too thick but got used to it although it is good 2 mm thicker than 16570. SBGE253 does feel top heavy though, as it has heavy ceramic bezel and clasp being relatively lightweight. Given the pro's bezel being stainless steel and set lower than the crystal as well as clasp being beefier, it may be better balanced than SBGE253 and may also sits more comfortably on the wrist.

Excellent video!

Really hoping Tudor release a white dial version at some point. That would be an instant buy for me.

Love these videos.... would love to see the lumes on the watches though.

Everyone is talking about the thickness and I think it's more because it took people by surprise that a brand like Tudor couldn't make it thinner rather than that thikness being a problem. Maybe that's why Tudor didn't release a BB58 GMT. A rotating bezel might have added even more to the thickness of the watch.

Beautiful watch. Have to agree with your summary! It was a hard choice to turn down the watch from the AD as it’s such a value proposition. Having a BB58 and an Explorer II, where would this have fit in the collection…?

great review, the thickness puts me off, but have to say Tudor did lume markers like this on the Pelagos?

It’s like going from the”No Date” to an Explorer II. Not a GMT Master II. Which is only $550 usd, $8,950(124060)-$9,500(226570) and it’s not a “chunker” either! I love my 216570🥰

The Pro GMT is taking the 58 Hands and dial then some 1655 style features with a True GMT. Even though I will not get one and love my BB58 925 then have an Incipio 9 being the nearest equivalent to the 1655 as one can get, the Pro GMT gets my vote.

Sweet! Now if only my AD had one in stock so I could put it on and see if it’s thickness is (or isn’t) a dealbreaker for me.

The bit about the barber and the rear view is very good writing. Nicely done.

Can't wait to listen the podcast of this

Very smart looking ⌚️ I have a small wrist but I don't think the thickness would stop me if I wanted a GMT. I already have a Rolex GMT and find I don't use that function very much it's just sort of there like some of the ridiculous dive ratings I'll never need.

Thank you for showing the details. 🔎 BB 58 is much better in finishing and details.

I love mine feels amazing on the Weight and the thickness is not an issue once it’s on you forget about the thickness. I also have ten GMT Pepsi which I love wearing too for it’s grand size.

Handsome tool watch, looks better than a 1655 to me. However, 12.5 mm is my maximum comfort level for height. I hope they sell a lot of these, but I will be happy wearing my BB58 black /gilt dial instead.

Never been a huge Tudor fan but man, the Pelagos FXD MN and the BB Pro are really amazing releases

Great review, I don’t think my small wrist can handle that thickness. I notice the case sides of my watches all the time. It would bother me

My friend has one and you can read the time from across the room. It's fantastic

To be fair, it depends what attire you typically find yourself in and your wrist size. I've had to get rid of most of my thick watches because of shirt cuff and wrist size... But that may not be an issue for most people.

The thickness really not a problem. People should try it on as wears very well.

Damn! This is just how I felt when I tried it on this weekend while wearing my BB58. Beautiful watch but thicc!!...the battle in my head rages on

When you said the pro’s thickness was “a deal softener” I thought 🤔of something else 🤣!!

I like the Black Bay Pro but I have hard time deciding between it and the Longines Spirit Zulu Time.

If it comes out in white dial then its game over. God tier

What a beautiful watch. I want it for my birthday next year

I really like my BB Pro, although I'm still wrestling with the balance of the heavier case on-wrist. I might sell it... and I might not. But my bigger problem is that now I need Tudor to retrofit my BB58 with the BB Pro crown. And then it would be perfect.

Looks nice. Very good bracelet. Very good movement. Very good retail price. Very practical. Very unassuming. Not that thick considering it’s functionality. It makes the explorer II and other similar watches a bit of a joke really. Well done Tudor I wish I had one

Got it two days ago it is a bit chunky but after a day or so you forget that and just love it’s look and on the slide adjustment and if you already have/had Tudor gmt or omega PO you used to a bit of chunk

Chunky feels good if the case is rounded and comfortable and is more to look at and admire. Lets face it most of us have more than one watch...or two. The BB58 has a perfect look... this GMT is different enough to have it's own perfect look so great excuse to have both if you can lol.

The watch is stunning on all fronts, would agree a polar white variant would be game over.

Very tempting

A real belter. Love the original size Black Bay, so the dimensions here are fine.
