Been hoping for smaller/ thinner bb since I got rid of my 41bb since it was to thick. Will definitely be getting one.

I've been a fan of Tudor since my first BB which I regretfully sold....

Even though I own a 39 EXP , this watch is calling my name very loudly. Sadly, I won't have the chance to try it on before I buy but I am absolutely certain it will feel just right on the wrist.

Well done Tudor.

I know this may be soon to ask, but does anyone know the lug width of the new BB 39mm?

I saw this watch compared to a ETA Black bay and the difference in thickness was not dramatic. If you prefer 39 over 41 that’s one thing, thickness isn’t dramatically different unless compared to the in house pieces.

I have the BB Noir ETA and it’s in at 12.8mm thick compared to the new BB58 in at 11.9mm thick. Not drastic no.

I may like the 39mm but I also love to rose logo and smiley face.

Do you know the lug width of the new BB58?

Hits all the right spots. But all these positive comments might generate a waiting list like the Pepsi. Appreciate keeping it on the down-low please!

IMO, the BB58 was one of the big winners this year. Looks great!

I measure mine and get 12.6 thick. The Sub is 12.5. Negligible. I don’t know the lug width of the 58.

I sold two ETA BBN's. Thought they were great, but just too big. I like to wear my watches, so point hoarding them either.

This is a game changer though. It is amazing what 1mm makes to the side profile of the case. While not liking the rivet bracelet on the 41mm, it kinda works on this smaller, vintage looking version. Can't wait to try one on!

I have the BB 58, Hulk and Pepsi GMT on my list for the year. Knowing Rolex "lists", this is probably the only realistic goal

My one complaint with the original black bays were the case size.. too large & thick, imho. The bb58 is currently on my short list. It is an attractive watch, to say the least. To nitpick, I do wish they had kept the bezel numbers in silver. I'm not in love with the double gilt thing they have going on. The dial is fantastic... it is just that bezel ;x

I’ve been very impressed with the value you get from the Tudors. They are great looking watches.

This thinner case is beautiful. I wish the tudor GMT pepsi used this case. So lovely.

I am hoping it does not wear as flat as the 41mm.

Available in July worldwide.

You have to realize while a lot of people pass comments criticising the thickness of the Black Bay, many are not based on first hand experience.

Personally I like it. It's not a small watch that's for sure, but a mammoth?

Even on my 6" wrist it doesn't look huge. Sorry that the last photo is out of focus...that's what happens when you can't find the bloody remote for your dslr.

But then again, I wouldn't mind grabbing a 39mm Black Bay when they release a non-guilt version...as it is the Black Bay 58 looks too similar to my S&G aesthetically.

BB 58 is a definite winner at this Basel. It's the Black Bay everyone had been waiting for.

It's actually slightly thinner than my already slim Seamaster 2254. I like the dimensions.

The BB41 isn't a particularly wide watch, but its slab-sided case mean you really notice every mm of thickness. I sold my BB41 because it was top heavy and uncomfortable, and having no available half-link doesn't help. I think the 58 is a great way to address those issues (although no half link, as far as I know).
