I spoke with my local AD today and am scheduled to go in on Saturday and pick up a new Tudor BB 54. This is actually a gift for my son's 30th birthday - which is not until later in the year - but finding one was not that easy and I am hoping to avoid any price increases by getting it now. He was considering a Submariner, but with a 6.5 inch wrist the BB54 fit him much better and I saved a considerable amount of money.

Early congrats to your son, Vance!

Absolute stunner of a watch. I sold mine a few months back, and have owned 7 different Tudors over the last few years. All have moved on but the 54 is the one I can't stop thinking about and wish I had kept.

Honestly the fit and finish was on par with Rolex imo, and I couldn't believe how close it wore to a 5 series sub. Great choice!

(Sigh), here is a pick of mine....20230904_104819.jpg

Congratulations and nice present for your son

KatGirl · 12 January 2024, 06:03 PM

Congrats! It’s a great watch. If I didn’t already have the 58, I’d consider it.

Nice choice was in love with my BB58.

AlanJG1 · 12 January 2024, 11:58 PM

Congratulations and what a great present to your son. I own 3 Tudors (Royal 38, BB36 S&G, and a BB54) and have a 6.75” wrist. The BB54 gets the most wrist time.

Burt Macklin · 13 January 2024, 03:16 AM

Congratulations! What a great gift for your son. I absolutely love my BB58 and was very tempted by the 54.

jfmiii · 13 January 2024, 03:22 AM

I just received a BB58 Blue as a 40th birthday present and I’m very impressed with the watch. Seriously considering adding a BB54 at some point. It’s a beauty.

S’portEye · 13 January 2024, 03:38 AM

I felt like the 54 was too small for me. I ended up going with the pelagos 39, but also considered the 58. Great choice OP!!! Congrats

Exactly my experience, Burt. In the end, they were just too similar, and I was used to the warm gold highlights, and 39 mm size. It sits so nice on the wrist. I do wish we had the updated bracelet, but with the AM half link, and clasp hack trick, I did get a great fit. Tudor has been knocking it out of the park, lately. Can’t wait for Watches and Wonders this year.

My new Black Bay Opaline GMT is as good as any Rolex IMO.

AF_Rob · 13 January 2024, 09:06 AM

A big congrats to your son, coming up and having a pretty cool dad.

The 54 is a great watch. I have a smaller wrist (just under 6.5in) and it wears great. With already having a Sub and BB58 in blue, it just doesn't make sense to add a 54 to my collection.

Jackie Daytona · 13 January 2024, 11:04 AM

Awesome incoming for him. Congrats to him

1st amg · 13 January 2024, 09:02 PM

Thats a great watch for your son...very well done

travisb · 13 January 2024, 09:18 PM

Well done! I'm sure he'll love it.
