For when a ceramic Tudor Black Bay?

If Tudor does the BB58 in ceramic with better bracelet, it might make the Rolex Submariner seem overpriced, in my opinion.

On paper, I could see that. In-hand, though, the sub tends to stand out. I was really interested in the BB steel and gold when it came out, but then I made the mistake of holding it next to a two-tone black sub. The sub is very clearly superiorin all the little ways that mark a higher-end watch.

I mean, you can get a ceramic-bezel Christopher Ward Trident, which comes with an excellent bracelet, for much less than the BB. And the Trident is a great watch for the price. But when you put it next to the more expensive watches, the difference is really obvious.

In the end, a ceramic bezel isn't what makes a watch high-end. (But, I do also think an aluminum bezel at the BB's price point isn't quite kosher.)

The bezel matches the design ethos of the current watch I think.

They offer a Pelagos of you like ceramic. Because ceramic is super cool, like a dinner plate or other kitchenware.

Prob in a few years they might tho. If enough people want it.

And if ceramics is the thing for OP then why stop at the bezel insert right? How about an entire case/bezel that's made with the stuff?


Personally I really like how the Black Bay 58 blue is executed. In fact I'm tempted to pick one up. It will go nicely with my Tudor Black Sub.

By this logic no Rolex should be offered with a steel bezel (OP, Datejust, EXP) because steel is not expensive enough to be on a bezel for a watch in that pricebracket?
