The BB GMT is also awesome. I can't get enough and haven't been this excited about buying some new watches in years.

Do you guys see any difference at all from its 41 cousin except the size?
I see none. |

So... if Tudor is picking up where Rolex left off many years ago, this seems to be consistent with the idea of reducing supply of Rolex SS watches a bit. Push the entry level to Tudor, inspire massive demand with attractive new references (hopefully without supply constraints, and create a stair step aspiration to the new less available/more expensive Rolex references. I'm curious to see how this plays out. It's a way for Rolex to effectively bump up supply of the sports refs (both Tudor and Rolex) without diluting the Rolex brand.
The Tudor GMT and Fifty-Eight look great. |

The brown leather strap is very attractive, IMO.

I love it but I don’t think the hands are the correct size, it’s as if they are using hands from the 41mm model

I'm really liking this one. It will be between this and the new SMP to see what Diver I want. The side shots of the BB 58 look to have the perfect proportions. The 41 BB's look to much like a wall when viewed from the side.

Hodinkee lists the thickness as 11.9mm making this a home run in my books!

Love it want it.
When do you think AD's will get them? The last round of BB's seemed pretty readily available, hoping that's the case with these, too. JCATT

What all your predictions on the BB Noir ETA?

IMO the demand will decrease along with its inflated value.

I tend to agree! But the ETA 41mm fits well and considering it’s only 1mm thicker than the new 39mm case, I’m not sure the new offering will push me to flip, especially that I still dig the rose logo and smiley! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The win is getting rid of the mammoth block of steel the 41mm BB possesses. Now if we can just have it with silver details i/o gold. Hoping for 19mm or 20mm lug width with a bracelet that tapers to 15.5mm like the originals.

I love the side profile compared to the mamoth steel walls the current in-house black bay 41's have.

I’m talking about the ETA version, which is only 12.8mm thick - wouldn’t call that mammoth! At 41mm it wears nicely even with my 6.75” wrist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I like the fifty-eight; not better than the eta but better than the in house BBN. Doubt it will cause the eta prices to drop. We'll see.

Looks great, shame about the gold bezel. Would have been better with white.

Well, I did say at one point that I'd take a Black Bay over a Sub if the Black Bay proportions were closer or smaller than the Subs. Excited to see this in person and whether I'll actually pull the trigger on this one.

This is a fantastic watch!! I’ve been wanting a 14060 but felt it was too close, visually, to my SD. However, the size, gold accents, price point on NATO makes this a very desirable watch.

I think is a beauty and I would love the choice of a date complication. I can see Tudor eventually offering a date complication as they did with the 41mm version, however I hope they don't take too much time thinking about it as it took them 5 years to release 41mm models with date...
