Hi All, I’m looking to get into a brand new Tudor Black Bay 58 or a Omega Seamaster Pro with the blue dial. Both with the bracelet. I can’t decide! Lol

Omega for me.

Walster · 27 February 2020, 09:52 AM

Both are fine watches which will serve you well the rest of your life. Best to try on in person and see what speaks to you.

stlwatchlvr · 27 February 2020, 09:54 AM

BB58 is a much smaller watch. Depends on what you like on your wrist.

I have a BB58 and love it on my small wrist.

I have an Omega Seamaster Pro - absolutely love it.

AK797 · 27 February 2020, 09:59 AM

Love the new SMP, sold by TBB some time ago.

enjoythemusic · 27 February 2020, 10:28 AM

Both are good, visit AD, try them on, pick the one that sings to you.

jhd29 · 27 February 2020, 11:07 AM

Go with the Planet Ocean 43.5, or at least put the Seamaster and PO side by side. I love my PO!!

kieselguhr · 27 February 2020, 11:14 AM

Try them on and decide.

I would personally get the Omega over the Tudor BlackBay 58.

R_Rated · 27 February 2020, 11:20 AM

Do you have or plan on getting any other Omega or Tudor Models? I like to spread my collection out to different brands and would make a strategic choice based on this. Others stick to one brand. YMMV.

Ssunnylee24 · 27 February 2020, 11:38 AM

1. go try both and see which one you like
2. call your wife and tell her that you are about to make a purchase
3. pull out a credit card with most % back or miles on your favorite airline.
4. enjoy

WatchGuy1966 · 27 February 2020, 11:40 AM

Great choices! You cannot go wrong with either.

newu5er · 27 February 2020, 12:05 PM

Yeah tough choice. I don't have the BB58, so I'd have to lean that way. Hard to go wrong though.

dwjez14 · 27 February 2020, 12:07 PM

Omega !!

42itus · 27 February 2020, 12:40 PM

Imagine you bought one (either one) and then imagine how you would feel that you can’t own the one you didn’t get. Then flip your choices around and see what kind of emotional response you get and maybe that will help you determine which one you really want.

But if you want the opinion of a stranger I would say Omega all day over BB58.

I’d be looking at Grand Seikos in this price range. Like a snowflake or another stainless bracelet model

Omega. Tudor’s are nice but Omega’s movements are higher quality and have superior fit and finish.

ap1 · 27 February 2020, 02:19 PM

Omega

GradyPhilpott · 27 February 2020, 02:21 PM

Your money is burning a hole in your pocket and you not ready to buy an expensive watch, especially if your asking a bunch of strangers.

Hold on to your money until such time as you are certain of which watch you not only want, but absolutely must have.

214270Explorer · 27 February 2020, 04:16 PM

You are obviously torn to the point that you cannot decide.

Get both. That works!

Jhmessing · 29 February 2020, 07:39 AM

Thank you all for the responses! Really appreciate it. I’m now also thinking about the Tudor Pelagos with the blue dial

ganiccus · 29 February 2020, 07:55 AM

I would go with the Omega as well if your wrist can pull it off. But don't buy at retail price!

bp1000 · 29 February 2020, 07:57 AM

SMP is amazing value

But too big for my taste and the BB58 is the perfect size and almost perfect

If you can get both please do but if not I'll go with the Omega it's a stunning piece.

Jhmessing · 1 March 2020, 11:59 PM

Thank you all again for your input...Went to the Omega boutique in Boca yesterday and walked out with this! I purchased my Speedmaster there last year as well. The level of service, the experience of a purchase at a boutique for a watch I’ll have forever (not a flipping this one at all) is worth the premium. I was able to work about a small discount and also got a limited edition Speedmaster 50th Anniversary pen!

Number3 · 2 March 2020, 12:22 AM

Congrats . The new SMP is a fantastic watch. It would have been my choice too.

Mr. K · 2 March 2020, 01:22 AM

Great choice. Wear it in good health.
