Picked up my black dial on the bracelet today. Very happy with my decision, however, they had the white dial and boy that watch is gorgeous.

You really can't go wrong with either of these watches both are stunning

Dial immediately I’m considering whether to order the white but difficult to order without having seen it.

Also tried on the blue bb58 - not for me at all.

I absolutely love the date placement on the Tudor aswell it’s definitely a winner and I reckon will be my first Tudor.

Hi!! The £3900 price is before or after tax? Thank you!!

If anyone has tried the white aswell would love to hear some opinions vs black.

May even call back today it’s definitely stuck in my mind!

On the white dial there is too much gap after the dial indices.
The black merges well but the white don’t look great IMHO.

Op, I like the white. I don’t think the legibility will be an issue.

Absolutely beautiful watch. That retro two sub dial configuration is cool. Love one myself...

I think the issue he was referring to is that the snowflake hand could obscure the hands on the subdials, making it difficult to actually read off elapsed times. Wouldnt be a deal breaker for me, but I could see it being an issue for some. OP, love them both, but prefer the black dial on this model.

^ lol perhaps that’s what he meant.

Still, that’s like saying the date function is also non-functional because the date-window is obscured by the minute-hand every hour.... Hahaha.

If they made it a few millimeters smaller in all dimensions I would jump all over it, as would many others. It would be as popular as the BB58.

I actually use a Chronograph, but the 30 minute and 45 minute versions are not useful to me as my needs usually results in hours' of tracking.

The Damasko DC86 works well for me. Direct easy-peasy readout-at-a-glance of Hours, Minutes, Seconds, up to 12 hours.

But I do very much like the looks of the Tudor offerings. The white dial model is amazing.

I do love the dial/bezel proprtion and I'm happy they slimmed it down a little as the previous iteration was just way too thick for me. That said the snowflake hand and fake rivets still bug me and I just can't un-see the knurling mismatch between the crown and pushers.

This watch is thick!!! Tried on the black face version at an AD. Still a cool looking setup. That Breitling movement must be a beast.

I gotta say, Tudor is impressing me lately. As I have posted before I sold most of my Rolex watches as I hated having them just sitting in a box. Felt so wasteful to me personally. Not judging anyone else. It is just how I am.

But man. At the price point and quality that Tudor brings... I feel like I need to collect them all and won't feel nearly as wasteful.
