Tudor Black Bay 58 Special Edition Update

Key Points from the Discussion

• The community expressed a strong desire for specific aesthetic changes, including modifications to the dial, hands, and bezel, with some members hoping for a design closely mirroring the vintage Tudor 7924. However, it was largely understood that such extensive changes were unlikely.
• One member specifically hoped for more svelte hands and indices, similar to the Black Bay GMT, and a smaller dial font to reduce the 'maxi' look, while acknowledging that Tudor might be resistant to significant design tweaks.
• Several members, including Boris and YpJ, enthusiastically committed to purchasing the special edition BB58, emphasizing their desire for a timepiece associated with the forum and expressing hope for specific details like a rose logo on the dial.
• The discussion included suggestions for a steel bracelet, a colored Tudor rose on the dial, and a unique reference number, similar to the Tudor Harrods edition, along with forum branding on the case back and box.
• A question was raised about the possibility of modifying the crown or crown stem, with a preference for a 'big crown' without the elongated stem, indicating a desire for vintage-inspired design elements.
• The issue of 'flipping' (reselling for profit) was a significant concern for Tudor UK, with assurances provided by Miranda. It was noted that while deterrence is difficult, careful allocation could help control the situation.
