Tudor Black Bay 58: A Week On The Wrist In Italy

Tudor Black Bay 58: A Week On The Wrist In Italy - My Likes & Dislikes

After owning and borrowing almost every type of Rolex and Tudor Submariner, it's time to reacquaint myself with the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight (39mm with black dial and bezel) as I continue my search for the perfect dive watch from these two brands.
Join me for a special episode filmed in Italy's stunning Lake Como region, where I spent a week working, vlogging, and getting to know the most successful Black Bay from Tudor by far. Is it all hype or does it live up to its cult-like status? How does it compare to all the other Submariners I've owned over the last decade? In this #watchreview video, I share my likes and dislikes along with my thoughts on the Black Bay 58's design, evolution, history, and its Urban Gentry status as a true #strapmonster.

Loved this show!! What an amazing setting and views! Well done on getting out there!!! We’re the airports empty??;) having not delved into the vintage market yet(it’s coming;) the BB58 is by far the best NEW diver I’ve owned or reviewed in terms of value, spec , brand history and SIZE!!! Drilled lugs would definitely have been nice . I think they need a distinction from The Pelagos and not just the size, having the Snowflake and traditional Subby markings homages (which is what it’s aim is) the roots of the beginnings and the moment Tudor became its own dive watch. One day I look forward to handling an old Tudor Subby! I’ll pop round one day;)

Beautifully made video. I own a BB58 and love it. I like the snowflake hands which are far easier to read than Mercedes hands. The combination of the traditional Sub dial indices and snowflake hands works for me. Mine is on a leather strap (and the leather enhances the warm gilt tones of the dial far better than the steel bracelet). I would have liked spring bar holes in the case.

The rivets don't bother me at all but I feel like the bracelet could be improved with the addition of half links and also an adjustable clasp. The half link issue was solved by Uncle Seiko; they manufacture and sell them specifically for the BB58. The bracelet now fits perfectly. Cheers!

The highest level in Arts, Architecture, Enginering and Science too. I think that they got almost all the good things of life in that land. About these extraordinary pieces you brought one more time to us, I,m not a user from Tudor yet, but I consider their product as a really great oportunity for getting an "entry-luxury" watch... nowadays. But at the sametime I believe that this oportunity is also offered by another holly icon in the watch industry as Longines. In this last case, I also know that Longines produce its owns calybers or in-house movements, the same that Tudor does as well. I,m in love!!! Thank you very much for your effort T.G.V. ! SALUDOS!!

As a BB58 owner, I entirely agree with your synopsis. For me, most of the "negatives" have been avoided by wearing it on straps... I just with they'd have gone with the "lollipop" hand set found on some vintage Subs, it would've maintained the Tudor heritage and kept the Mercedes hand haters at bay! As a daily wearer, I suits me perfectly. Mine's just as frequently on boats and in the sea as it is in meetings and restaurants. Considering the swap to a two tone pre-ceramic Sub soon however.

I just got the 41mm version, the standard Black Bay, the other day as my first luxury watch and I must say - Tudor has really done something quite special with these in my opinion. The gilt dial just makes my day! Fantastic content as always, TGV.

@Harry Donovan Ha! You’re right. I never even realized one was rose and the other was yellow. They both look great to me though. And don’t let the sizing fool you. My wrists are not large at all, but as long as the lugs don’t overhang, I’m good with it. All comes down to personal sizing preference though.

Hi Chubby, Just curious, to why you got the 41mm version, was your wrist size small? I was thinking of 43 mm watches and above but my wrist size is small and may overkill the whole look

The BB58 just has the right proportions and materials. That red marker is such a nice touch, along with the slightly rose gold. Also like was mentioned it goes with so many straps.

The right proportions for people with a 6.5 to 7" wrist but completely the wrong proportions for someone with a 7.5"+ wrist. Over 8" and you can forget about it.
