I went back to Tudor today. I am starting to warm up to this.

I have ruled out the gilt dial because of the faux patina. 





I found it cool, but I am wondering if I won't get tired of this blue dial....

Yes, a bit of reservation on that point for me as well. Hence, I haven’t pulled the trigger, yet!

The black is not so bad!

I have mixed feelings about the BB54

because it doesn’t look nice on my wrist. But on paper and on other wrists it’s an appealing watch.
Best, Emmanuel

I think the blue here

Is aggressive and will limit your choices.

It looks great on your wrist. I like this blue. It has some pop!

I know it’s a larger watch, but have you tried the BB58 blue?

Or seen them side by side? 


Yes, I have tried it on previously. It is now out of the Tudor catalogue. But, lots of NOS and pre-owned options and that may in fact become my best option.

In fact, here is a wrist shot from a Tudor boutique last January.

I have got this one and it’s a winner

The other blue would be too much for my taste

Well if I can sway you…

Only from the pictures, I’m not totally sure about the blue on the new watch.  It seems very shiny, very retro Rolex blue.  

The BB58 blue is less severe. 

Just 2 cents from the peanut gallery ! 😂 



Spot on, Jay. The new blue is formally called sapphire blue and it has a retro vibe.

One reviewer said the rubber strap helps to balance out the intensity of the sapphire blue and I think that is an interesting observation which I will explore in person. Is that BB 58 yours?

Yes, this one is mine.

I’ve had it since it was released but honestly it doesn’t get worn much.
I keep meaning to buy the fabric strap for it which I think will give it a bit of a new life.
I just wore for the first time since summer 2024 a few weeks ago. Crazy. I know.

I completely agree.

The BB58 BLUE is one of many “slow burn” watches I admire more and more.
I recently seen one on a blue Tudor NATO strap that not only looked amazing but would fit more snug than the bracelet would.

Looks fantastic the blue dial and bezel is not seem so much that’s why I love it.

I like it!

The sizing looks great on your wrist.

A little too blue and trendy…

 
 By: Horo_Traveler : May 2nd, 2026-01:40
… but they are not trying to appeal to me!

Dangerous occupation 😉👍🏻

Is the blue the only one in the running now? 

Yes, I think so, Kristjan — either the new BB 54 (at 37 mm) or a pre-owned BB 58 (at 39 mm) as per the two photos above.

But, I am not in any hurry!!

Understood 😊👍🏻
