Tudor's Black Bay 58

Hey all,

Has anyone got some wrist shots of the new Tudor black bay 58 (blue)?

And also, how does it feel on the wrist? Is it actually 39mm?

Thanks!

Tudor's Black Bay 58

Hiya,

Have had mine for less than a week and can say it’s looks and feels great on the wrist. My wrist is 6.75 inches for reference. Few wrist shots as requested - I’ve gone for NATOs just so I can mix it up but I’m sure there’s plenty of others who can add shots of it on the bracelet. For me it just wore a little bit closer on the strap, as opposed to the bracelet, which I preferred. All personal preference though.

I don’t know if it’s 39mm exactly but it feels a lot smaller than when I’ve tried the 40mm Subs.









Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if it’s on your list.

Here's mine on my average-sized wrist. It wears pretty much exactly like a 4 or 5 digit Submariner, so appears larger than the actual 39mm.

I've had mine for about a month and a half and it's perfect, IMO.

The wrist presence is exactly the same as a 16610 for me.

Here’s a pic with the Daytona. I’ve had the BB for a couple months. Very light in the wrist. Wore it on the bracelet for a bit and switched to strap for a change

From what i understand..BB 58 is essentially a 5-digit sub but with more modern tech (movement/bracelet). I am not sure if its better buy than a modern Omega 300M at the similar price pt.

I’m sold on this Tudor if I can ever find one! Thanks for the amazing pictures. It’s great to see it in natural light.

Some comparison pics with a Tudor Submariner. Pretty close I would say.

its a very different price point at RRP in the UK to an Omega 300m - its like 50% dearer than the Tudor

on the grey market the price is about the same due to the scarcity of thBB58 blue

i have purchased both watches but sold my Omega after 18 months as i just didnt love it

not a chance ill be selling the BB58 blue

Question. My BB58 black hands are turning the opposite way from my GMT Master 2 and OP39. Is this normal? So if I turn my crown “Forward” the hands turn counter clockwise.

Yes, that is normal. Some movements turn clockwise others counter-clockwise, depends on the manufacturer.

Most ETA movements turn the same way. It used to be how you could quickly identify if a Rolex was fake, but now-a-days they even have clone-movements.
