Men used to wear size 34mm. 37 is plenty big. We’ve been brainwashed into thinking that 41 ish mm is a normal size. It’s not, it’s very large unless you’re Andre the giant or want everyone to see that you’re wearing a big chunk of watch on your wrist. 37 is utilitarian and only as big as it functionally needs to be. If you’re buying a watch primarily for other people to see or you have an 8+ inch wrist, get an OG black bay or 58. If the watch is for you to see, 54 all day.

There is a warm charm to the 58 coming from the gilt bezel. It has a nice pop of color from the red Triangle that is also found on the Rolex Big Crown. The 58 design borrows cues from Rolex/Tudors of past without being an exact replica. Also, at 39mm it sits comfortably on most wrists.

This is one of those conundrums that we could think about and dream for months then just get the one that's in stock at the time you visit the AD as you just could not make that definitive decision. Then driving home wondering if you'd just purchased the wring watch. That feeling would have been present regardless of which one you get. Surly getting both is the only way to be sure but then every time that you wore the 58 you would be wishing that you put on the 54 on instead and vice verse. The only real solution to the conundrum is just to purchase something else entirely... or is it?

The lume surround on the 7 index of your 54 is noticeably thinner than the others (the 1 appears less uniform also, though not as drastically). That's QC that would upset me on a Seiko Prospex much less a currently-difficult-to-source Chewdor. Curious if the one you shot was preproduction/"press fleet" or a retail model? FWIW, had an original ETA BB, the 58 never did anything for me. The 54 is very appealing, but I'm being distracted greatly by the Vulcain Natique.

@EricBishard 11 ай бұрын

I chose the 58 I like the size better, and the navy blue goes with everything blue I wear. I just can't get enough blue. I tried on every Tudor they had in stock (nearly), and the 58 just worked. Felt like it was an extension, not an addition. I had previously thought that all Black Bays were too chunky until I saw the 58 in person. Yes, the 54 is similar or the same in height of the case but the dial felt too small. I like the more vintage style, and given the opportunity to have those minor embellishments in the 58, I would love the gold hands and markers, maybe even a red circle in my triangle, but I'm just fine without them. I bought mine from an AD in Paris and it was my first purchase of a Tudor and I'm smitten.

I owned a BB58 Blue for a time. Stupidly traded it off. I felt this size was nearly perfect for my 7.5" wrist. I would love to try a BB54 and likely wouldn't buy one sight-unseen. It is interesting that Tudor has gone backward a bit in sizing but I feel for good reason.

I have given Tudor absolutely _no_ attention for as long as I've been a watch enthusiast (40 years) because in my mind they represented "junior Rolex" and I had zero interest in Rolex either. (I tend to shy away from watch brands that _everybody_ knows and wants.) However, I was in my AD the other day shopping for a Speedmaster when I spotted the BB GMT in Root Beer on a leather strap. Holy cow! I went home and had a evening of frantic Googling and YT'ing to make sure I wasn't crazy, then went back the next day and bought it. I absolutely LOVE this watch. Don't care if it looks like a Rolex. Don't care if anyone thinks I've gone for a "junior Rolex". I think it's gorgeous.

Crazy I know so the 54 came to answer my prayers. 37 would typically be too small for me but on the bracelet something magical happens and it fits perfectly: the 58 is the perfect watch and the 54 will be a perfect watch for most. Pushing 7,5 in wrists and it may fit small proportionately. From someone who used to think Tudor was the poor man’s Rolex to one of my favorite brands that have just done one amazing thing after the next. I also own 5 Rolex models so you can say I’m biased:). I recommend ppl try on the 54. The thinness makes it incredible as well, Something not a lot on reviewers have spoken about . It’s a great watch and I love it

I’d probably go for the red triangle. I don’t think 37 is too small but I’ve never worn one with a turning bezel. That might make it look too small, I’m not sure. But it doesn’t matter because I would want the red triangle. And while I have spent about that much for a watch I wouldn’t spend that much for a dive watch. Dive watches are beaters.

@handlesarethelaststrawiquit Жыл бұрын

That's what I'm saying it's not a beater. I knock out the ceramic bezel inserts and crack the sapphire inserts. I'm not spending a lot of money on a bezel. Never wreck watches with regular bezels. I do think the current black bays looks better than a sub or any omega diver though, especially if they have a glossy ceramic bezel.

@NOLASkaGuitarist 17 күн бұрын

Went with the 54 myself as 36mm is my sweet spot. I have a small wrist at around 15cm so it's a perfect fit. The fact that all the features are in my eyes more refined at every level was just icing on the cake. Really like the t-fit clasp. Is it me or did the lume plots seem a bit overfilled on the 58? Looked kind of 'pillowy' in the macro. The 54 seems to have a more even coating with a nice little lip to highlight the inner edges of the hour markers from any angle. How much of this actually translates to the naked eye is debatable.

This is my opinion for this very cool subject: I have a family heirloom Rolex 6538 but will never wear it in the wild. As a matter of fact it is in a safe in a vault. I bought 5-digit sub back in 05-06 and still love it to this day and will always be in my rotation, but I also wanted to wear something vintage but there was nothing out there until the first Blackbay back in I guess 2010s some time. In hopes it would feel like the 6538, I found it was not and did not wear like it. 2018 comes around and the BB58 arrives. The BB58 wears almost exactly the same as a Rolex 6538. The BB58 is 39mm x 11.9mm in height x 47mm lug to lug and a lug width of 20mm. The crown is 6-6.5mm. The Rolex 6538 is 38mm x 15.2mm in height due to the doomed x 47mm lug to lug and a lug width of 20mm. The crown is I believe 8mm last I checked. I tried the BB54 and it was an awesome watch! Love the fit and feel but also did not fit like a 6538 at all which makes sense because it is a nod to an older vintage but even then it is it’s own thing as the vintage it is based off of is larger lug to lug and thickness. So the BB54 does not wear like a vintage but it wears very different in a good way. For me I wanted something like the 6538 and the BB58 is my preferred. Specifically, the Gilt dial. I think depending on which vintage you like most would determine which you prefer. Another option is simply owning both the BB58 and 54. For me I am waiting for 2028. I have a feeling they will make some refinements with the original BB58. They will make changes with the gnarling on the bezel and crown and may shrink it down to 38mm. Now that is a watch worth waiting for in my opinion. But no one would be wrong to own that nice BB54.

This was my best write up so you may see it other places as well. A lot of videos want to call the 54 vintage but I needed to fix that misconception because it does not. It feels like nothing of the sort as far as vintage. Even the original model was larger lug to lug and larger in height. I wanted to make sure folks knew why the BB58 is closer to the real deal but also how great the 54 is but to be very honest when I say it wears uniquely and it like the BB58 are to me the best watches out there. The choice is dependent on how you feel but I don’t want you think it feels more vintage than the BB58 because it doesn’t.

58, by a length. I think, the same way Tudor might have been thinking in the 1950’s, looking at the 54 and asking, “How do we make this very fine watch even better?”. And the answer would be - the BB58. I don’t know what, or if, the difference is in the size of the dials, but the indices of the 58 appear to have room to breathe. The 54 - a little less. And who doesn’t love the bit of red around the bezel pip?

Maybe I should have waited for the Blackbay 60. 38mm size, no snowflake hands or faux rivets, T fit clasp with a folding arm that's not too long...

I’ve tried bb54 2 weeks ago, and it was too small. I didn’t like it at all. BB58 is a perfect watch. That’s why I will own one very soon.

"if you're one of the people who does wear that size (37) or smaller, that's because you're part of the no-one group [8:11]". LOL yup yup mini wrists = tiny watch choices. I'm glad Tudor pitied us with the 54. So by geometry alone, it has my vote.

I always felt the BB58 wears super weird on my wrist, I do prefer the 54 all day everyday and that’s what I own. And also the 54 is not ‘too’ small in fact it fits my 6.3in wrist perfectly!

The 58 every time. Visually the 54 looks like a (negatively) modded 58.

54. As you grow older, you appreciate convenience more and more over design, look, etc. A smaller watch means more comfort. Simple as really.

Tudor didn't "Ditch the date." for the 58. The original Black Bays did not have a date. The only ones that had a date were the two tone Black Bay, the one with the steel bezel insert, the P01, the GMT, the Pro and the chronograph.

Personally I don’t like this new size .. far too small for me. The ‘58 is also too small .. and I find the BB 41mm as perfect. But I’d say the ‘58 is probably the best size and look for most.

@Nachovalenti899 Жыл бұрын

I agree and for that reason I bought the BB GMT and the BB Black (41 mm.) and I'm really happy with both watches.

Hi Andrew! I decided against both and took the Pelagos 39 instead. I would like to add another, better wearable, titanium watch to my collection I’ve got a big and chunky Tissot T-Touch wich isn’t suitable for everyday wear. The Pelagos has got a more modern look and was offered to me on my last AD visit. However the 58 and 54 maybe a good alternative to a vintage watch and would match my traditional pocketknives better… 🤔 Best wishes, Claus

@derekbrettell8121 Жыл бұрын

Agree, the Pelagos 39mm is better and the only watch I'd consider in the current line up

@TeaJayRabbit Жыл бұрын

I went with the 58 in the end but that Pelagos bezel reallly had me sweating at the AD...even when they were sizing up my 58 I was like...do I go back and try on the Pelagos again!

It was Nico Leonard that convinced him to change and show his face personally I think he could incorporate both the old style and new together and it would work fine
