Tudor BB58 red

Just speculating for fun. Thoughts on a tudor BB58 Burgandy Red for 2021? Thinking red dial and bezel similar to how they've released the navy. Red will be darker than the larger BB burgundy, almost like the dark red on the BB GMT.
No gilt, all white gold also like Navy 58.

If they do this they will cannibalize the model. It needs to be a gmt. Blueberry please.

I’d love a BB58 GMT, a blueberry bezel might be pushing it though. Who knows, we can hope

I dont think they will make a 58 gmt under 13 mm thick. If they did it would really be the hottest tudor ever made.

GMT 58 would be divine! They really should have more classically sized models.

If it had a dial something like this, I’d buy it!

Does anyone know what the smallest possible dimensions are for a watch with the current Tudor GMT movement? Could it fit in a 39mm case thats 12mm thick?

I agree that a 58 gmt would be out of control popular. Id want one and the current BB58s are not that appealing to me

I would love a BB58 in green like the Harrods version. Maybe they will release this with a green dial and gilt. I’ll be heading to Harrods right away!

The mt5402 is 4.99 mm thick. Found in bb58.
The mt5652 is 7.52 mm thick. Found in bb gmt.
Thr mt5612 is 6.5 mm thick. Found in pelagos.

I doubt tudor is shaving 2.53 mm off a gmt movement and keeping a 70 hour pr.

I believe the watch would have to be thicker. Maybe 1 mm or so at least. 13 to 13.5 would be my best guess.

To the OP’s thought, red on red would be very striking...I wonder if it would be widely desired? Probably not as versatile as the black or blue models, but there would be a niche market of collectors (or sports fans of red teams).

I could see them doing a special edition, sort of like Harrods or Bucherer. Maybe with David Beckham as one of the Tudor brand ambassadors, a special Man Utd red BB58?
