Tudor have nailed this design

Yes...yes...I know many would like to see the death of the faux rivets, and the inclusion of a glidelock system!

But...the overall aesthetic of this watch is fantastic. Superb proportions, and colouring.

The New Blue Bay 58 has satisfied my itch to have a Blue Dial watch in my collection, I'm so pleased with the Colour and shades given of by the bezel and dial.

Its a quality timepiece that is a classic.

I'm a fan of the non traditional colors. The blue looks so good!

Blue Bay 58

It’s a great watch! The blue is just perfect. I’ve seen some “flat”, uninspiring blue pics of it online, but I have not seen that coloring in person, on the wrist.

Tudor knocked it out of the park. The gilt mockups looked great, but this isn’t trying to be like the original BB58. It has its own identity.

And it’s a home run.

As I mentioned on another thread, if this had “Rolex” on the dial, the watch world would have blown up. Seriously.

This watch, bang for buck, is the bees knees.

Fantastic release from Tudor. Looks very good and maybe that blue will give it just that smidge of size it needs to look more like a 40mm.

Just the pic. I have pics where the bb58 looks larger than my SubC (based on depth and position on wrist).

They have the blue sub, "the smurf" albeit it's in white gold.

Prefer the 58 in black gilt. The blue looks too cold and too blue. Would look better with a gilt dial.

I like it but unfortunately I find 39mm too small for a diver on my wrist. I would have been interested at 42mm. I tried a PO 39 once, not good.

while 40 would be ideal, omega's cases wear about 2mm smaller than their case measurement tend to dictate based on how they treat and contour the lugs. This look like it will wear as a vintage 40mm piece would...

That’s a beauty. I’m contemplating this Tudor, or the Grand Seiko GMT quartz sbgn003.

Why is that? I never owned one. However, I hear there good quality watches. I’m on the fence between the Tudor BB58 Blue, Or the Grand Seiko GMT quartz Sbgn003.

I own multiple Rolex, Panerai, Cartier, Omega, Breitling and now two tudors. I love them all, but for the money the new BB58 is exceptional.
