Hey, thanks for the shoutout! 🙂

Rolex is the brother that went off to become a partner at a law firm. Tudor is the younger brother that dropped out and became a rockstar. MedLife Crisis is great! Nice shout out.

I got this watch about a month ago on the nato! And honesty is my favourite watch in my collection! It’s get more time in the wrist than any of my Rolex’s! This Tudor in my opinion is going to be a future classic! It’s a beautiful no fuss time piece, fun and high quality! If you get the chance to buy it, then do not hesitate!

I think they managed to get the balance of colour slightly better than some of the other Black Bay range. That’s the only thing to my eye.

So to summarise... Buy it because it’s blue Don’t buy it because it’s blue It’s a hype because it’s blue It’s not a hype because it’s blue

I was hoping he’d say he watches Archie Luxury...

Some of the best analogies I’ve ever heard and sums up the Tudor so well. Shoving people into the pool! Genius 😂

long power reserve, accurate in house movement (-2 +4 sec /day if I remember correctly), elegant dial/index design, dome crystal, antique bracelet, great craftmanship Gosh this is a very special watch I also own couple rolex and pp But BB58 blue is just always the one on my wrist it's just simply that good a stealth I'd say for the money

All I know is it looks frickin' cool. The blonde hair made Norma into Marilyn. Sometimes there's just one detail that can elevate an attractive, but otherwise ordinary individual or object into someone or something that captures the public's imagination. It's like lightning in a bottle. You can't really describe it fully with words.

Watch of the year for me. It would look lovely in a grey also.

The only downside to a Black Bay 58 is that no-one ever has any in stock. All I find is a willingness "to take an expression of interest". A more general problem in Australia is the shameless price gouging that affects all retail. It is not for no reason that international retailers refer to Oz as "Treasure Island".

And just like that, Watchfinder just made the Navy Black Bay 58 way more expensive in the resale market.

It's blue, and an amazing blue 🤩. It is really an understated classy watch that doesn't attract the wrong attention of criminals as much as other luxury brand watches that really stand out and catch the wrong eyes. I own it for the last 2 weeks and didn't come back of my wrist since.

The Tudor BB 58 is a watch that screams "wear me" because it's so comfortable on the wrist. It also seems to fly under the radar while at the same time being such a nice looking watch. This seems in contrast to Rolex sports watches that scream (to the world) "look at me". So Tudor might be the little brother of Rolex, but I think it's marketing image is far better than Rolex because it carries none of the Rolex (negative) baggage. And outside the watch enthusiast community, most people don't even know Tudor has any relationship with Rolex, which is probably a good thing. The BB 58 is just fun to wear. I bought the blue BB 58 and love it.

I think the bezel on the BB range is the part that changes them from beautiful to iconic

Swiss should have a national Rolex day, to honor and pay homage to a great company that has successfully made stainless steel a precious metal.

I still haven't changed my mind about this one. I still think that the colour-change took away some of the best characteristics of the original 58. Namely the gorgeous combination of black and rose gold and the warmth it exudes. Plus, and I know it's a tiny detail, the red triangle on the black model's bezel looks so much nicer and adds to the retro charm.

Perfect analogy, the BB58 Blue is fun and that's why I bought it. I've worn mine during tasks I wouldn't otherwise consider wearing a watch for, just for the 'fun' of it. I'm even wearing it right now. With that said, the watch wouldn't be "fun" if you didn't already own a Rolex already. A Tudor can never substitute that, but it can add so much more value as a second (third, fourth, fifth etc.) watch.

+10 for the LOTR Ent reference.

I would’ve been more interested in either a Black Bay GMT with the 58’s case size or a Pelagos with the 58’s case size.

Your storytelling is just world-class!

I'm blue dabadeedabadi dabadeedabadi dabadeedabadi

Blue, simply one of the coolest colours on a watch, especially on a bronze case.

Picked mine up yesterday. For my smallish wrist the fit is superior to the Submariner. I especially appreciate that it's only 11.7mm thick and the back is nearly flat unlike the Sub.

Although I really love this watch, I wish there was a BB58 with a blue bezel and black dial as that appeals to me way more than this type of blue does. I was carefully saving up for, the blue bezel Black Bay 41, my grail, until my girlfriend got diagnosed with an awful sickness. But I solemnly swear that I will own that watch someday!

Just bought the OG one today on a bracelet. You can literally buy any of them anywhere at retail here in the UK with no wait time. It just seems everywhere else in the world that you have to wait for them. Great watch, even on an 8 inch wrist.

I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've cherished for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and aluminium bezel compared to the 'bling-blue' ceramic of my Omega Seamaster 300. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. The blue really pops in daylight or in well-lit rooms and a pleasure to wear. Although not quite up there with the Rolex in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when it's barely 35% of a Sub's retail price - go to an AD and try one on. An in-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve.... you won't be disappointed.

Not trying to defend Rolex here, but I think the talking hands might have overstretched the "stuffy guy"-Rolex vs. "cool guy"-Tudor dichotomy a bit - all for the sake of tiptoeing around the fact that this is just a blue Tudor (albeit a good-looking one).

I would pick this Palagos over the more expensive Submariner anyway! Thanks for this beautiful video

“Side note: Burn”. Brilliant. I don’t know how many caught this Omega dis, but just freaking great!

I've got to admit watching a watchfinder video by this fella helped sell me a black 58.

This is the hottest watch at the moment. Mine arrives next week. Still love Rolex but more 39mm Tudor models would absolutely light this brand up. Fifty-Eight GMT surely has to be next.

Purchased this watch a month ago and absolutely love it. Great (small) size, and I can wear it when I’d never wear my Journes, like working in the engine room or otherwise working on the boat. Couldn’t be happier with it and I did buy it cause.......its fun! But no bananas.....

I think I may actually go buy my first Tudor, thanks to your (another) beautiful video!

"Its for the cool uncle who got a sports car instead of getting married" LMAO This is me 100% 😂 I'm waiting for my Tudor Blue BB58 to come in

"It's the banana held down there, instead of up here" classic lol

An all-steel 58 would be even better.

Probably one of the funniest and more entertaining commentaries from this guy, even if I don't care about a tudor diver that got the blue treatment. I'm a simple man, I like witty jokes and nice fliegers. This channel provides more than enough wit to compensate for the lack of fliegers.

It's really a cool watch. The blue color is evocative of the blue Submariner watches of the '60s and 70s which were the quintessential tool watches and issued to Navy divers in France. (The US NDU/UDT/SEALs had the option of buying them on selected procurement. I own the black one my uncle wore in Vietnam.) I wish the indices were square but maybe next run. I bought the black version on your recommendation when it first came out and it's great. It's what Rolex used to be. It's solid, easily legible, great brand, good power reserve and accurate to within a few seconds a week. No one has ever asked me if it's real.

The people who produce these videos are great, what a good description of Tudor, spot on..... shame the experience in their shop's is terrible.

I have a navy BB58 coming in from your New York store and I’m super excited! Can’t wait to get it on the wrist. I’ve tried my friends and it’s everything it’s touted to be by my favorite watch channels, this one included.

I truly love your videos, man! You're one of the best channels on KZfaq. Could you please do a video or two on Sinn Spezialuhren? I'm a huge fan of them and it would be awesome, if you could cover them in your videos. Thanks.

There is too much hype for the black bay mainly because of the lack of submariners for a decent price

Had this exact watch about 6 weeks now, love the blue suede type strap. In fact am really liking this watch, great weekend casual watch. Love wearing it.

The Blue Bay 58 has me wondering what response a Blue Steel Submariner would garner. Zoolander!

Harry Metcalfe ( Harry's Garage ).....has good taste in watches too.

It's blue. I like it. Am I missing something ???

Last July when this came out to all the silly commotion I stopped by my favorite AD to see what it looked like. It was in fact Blue and looked just like the black one that I didnt think much of before this one. But there in the case off to the side was another Blue watch and a Tudor too. A Snorkle Blue Tudor Pelagos. Bottom line I left with that Blue watch. So much for the hype.

saw the bb58 , wanted to have it in blue. and then voila then they did

The BEST review of this watch I’ve seen to date.

A beautiful watch and a great alternative to the Submariner

My favourite watch. During the week, I tend to alternate between this and the OG BB58 and look forward to wearing the blue more... Not convinced I’d call it fun though - I would say the new snoopy fits the description of “fun” better. Enjoyed the video though.

Gosh, the detail finish on this is SO much better than that Iconaut reviewed recently!! 😳

I paused the video, ran and grabbed the same watch and then continue watching

I tried finding your shop in Paris, could not. Ended up at an AD. bought a black bay 58 blue. I'm happy, but I wonder what I wild have got if I had visited your shop or is there no shop?

Holy shit this is the best video Ive seen so far in 2020. Suddenly 2020 just got a little bit better

This review was fun actually.

High Five for name checking Harry's Garage! Great videos from both of you!

I think Tudor did it perfectly. Too many choices cripple our decision making.

Waited months for this review. Thanks! As always great content!

I bet you would be better wingman than Barney Stinson, you literally make me love any watch you show here.

I wish there would be a Video about Sinn Diving Watches in the unigue watchfinder way.

Okay - I have this watch and why did I buy it ? First of all for the size which is very close to one of my other favorite daily watches - the Explorer II 40 mm. Then there is the color - I personally wear blue jeans and shirts a lot and blue is my favorite color ( I have four watches with blue dials ) so it just works well with my style. The next reason is the value of money. The Tudor BB58 is just a very good watch for the money. Next thing which also made my buy it - the different straps options. I got mine with the steel bracelet and also ordered the blue fabric strap which I have used the last four weeks non stop. Even though I haven’t sold a watch yet - it’s just nice to know that the secondhand market is there if one wants to sell the watch. Is Tudor a watch for those that can not afford a Rolex - maybe in so cases but it can also be a good supplement to your Rolex watches.

Same with the Rolex Kermit. It’s just a submariner but everybody went nuts because it’s green. Yet the Kermit is much more desired than a standard submariner amongst watch enthusiasts

I LOVE my Black Bay GMT

I like the Black Bay 58 Blue, but I really like the Pelagos Blue. I’ve been wearing mine for several months now, and it keeps better time than my Rolexes, and my IWC Portuguese. Plus the watch is extremely comfortable being it’s titanium.

I would be interested in your review of Tutima watches ,the company’s history and it’s new releases. Thank you for your consideration and wonderfully informative videos JJO

I'm not sure if I agree with the host on the final comments made on this watch. It's not just 'a new color' but rather a harking back to the blue submariners that were made previously -- and Tudor has been pretty explicit about that. It takes from the same DNA as Rolex -- make small changes conservatively whilst not losing focus. It may seem boring or unappealing to the mass audiences but I think it's really quite intelligent because the host has already said the feeling and price points of distinguishing Rolex vs. Tudor is now more apparent than it's ever been. If I was Tudor I'd say mission accomplished -- this is the sweet spot they want to be in.

Original BB58 remains my Grail. The blue just doesnt do it for me. Great video, as always...

It's blue, I would buy for my son, but then again he prefers black. 79220N.

What a great review, been thinking about buying this watch for quite a while now this just sealed it.

As a BB58 OG owner, i am proud to see the reflection of the seconds hand at 4:13. Even Rolex, Patek and AP have an under-side to the seconds hand that is not finished to this level.

I used to own the black bay red 2824. I sold it because of its aluminium bezel which scratch easily. I prefer my small second hand oris diver which is more hardy.

I am more excited about the black bay 58 GMT that comes out next month

Mentioning Harry's Garage in your video tells us just what a classy and a man good taste you are Sir!

Good to know we’re all on the same page re aquaholic and Harry’s garage. Just put a deposit on a 58, never owned a Rolex despite the fact I managed an official retailer for 10 years!

What’s surprising is that Tudor didn’t make this blue 58 version from the beginning. Who doesn’t like a blue divers watch? Is it a sensation that they finally do it? Hardly...! That said, this is the version I would prefer...

Bought BB58 blue one and a black one today because I couldn't make up my mind 🥳🤗......and bought BLack Bay Chrono reverse panda today too. That's what I think of these watches.

I'd still stick with the OG BB58. Perhaps if they made it a punchier blue?

Fellow Harry's Garage viewer here!

You are correct, it is JUST blue. But to me, the gilt/faux vintage trend of this decade will not age well and I think collectors are valuing this piece over the black version.

Jim Carrey in "Liar Liar", pen scene! A lot of FUN tho'..

I like this shade of blue. It is a quality looking understated colour.

It is just a different colour, true, but it makes the watch so different that some people have both, the black and this one. The colour, talking about watches, is a BIG deal, and having the chance to buy a 39mm, COSC, 70h power reserve in-house diver in a second colour option is GREAT news. I think that is where the hype comes from.

Would love to see you feature a Ap royal Oak chronograph!

If at least they could have added a date complication... Anyway, maybe next release! 🤞🏼

Ik like the "blue"Black Bay. Its like Porsche, not a lot of change in the years, but just enough.

It’s clean and the opposite of the existing Bb58 for those who might have felt it a little garish addnthat to the price and value proposition makes this a very good first unity watch for those who weren’t in love with the colour or vintage look of the original.

What color is this watch again?

I think it just feels like the natural expansion of the BB58 series. Many liked the decrease in size from the BB to the BB58. Now you just added a color more fitting to a Diver than the black-red-rosegold. Nonetheless, I'd prefer the latter and also the larger 41mm case size of the "normal" Black Bay.

the uncle who bought a boat and sportscar instead of getting married and having kids? who have you been talking to?!

I bought the BB58...after after watching the video here and having owned one for close to a year now, I somehow found it rather boring (IMO) as with this new color. I’ve even tried changing a few different straps in hopes to reignite my love for it but somehow felt that the BB range as a whole is still too close to its older brother. Having said that, and interestingly enough (personally)... I now find the blue Pelagos more alluring than every...with its squared markers (closer to the vintage original), a different case, innovative clasp, and matte color...making it more complete as a unique offering from Tudor, which I most likely would trade in my BB58 for...soon. Just sharing my own ownership experience.

I bought one in mid July from an AD who was sitting on six of them. Not any more of course. I love it and wear it every day. It looks and feels good and has opened my eyes against Rolex to a brighter and more accessible brand. But there are few other Tudors in their range that would make me open my wallet, except for this one's brother. So I have just ordered a new Oyster Perpetual in Turquoise blue.

I lost it at "Side note: Burn" 🤣

I truly would like to see your wonderful review on a Vacheron Overseas (the new one) with the blue dial. The dial is blue, I know, but it’s simply something else. I’d love to hear your comments and the amazing photography of a watch that is under appreciated in comparison with AP or PateK, but that has an exquisite finishing. Not to mention that I love it’s versatile with the three different straps/bracelet options. Please, indulge us.

Can you PLEASE make more watch videos about more affordable watches and watch brands such as: Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Tag Heuer, etc.

For me the only thing wrong with the original BB58 is the colour scheme, this is much nicer and I would buy it. So this really cuts through the hype.

I think Tudor knows marketing better than some might think. Its definitely desired and purchased like a lot.🤘

The loom lasts long at night. I love mine I have this exact watch. I wear it more than my Rolex OP39 blue. I miss my Omega, ironically Tudor and omega make the better tool watch IMO. I sell cars and my brands color is blue and looks fun as you said not too loud for my use.
