I like the subdued blue dial.

Reminded me of vintage Tudor Blue Snowflake Subs. The blue is more navy in color than the Pelagius, almost grey-blue? Even the markers look more creamy than white.
The size (39 mm, relatively thin) and weight with bracelet make it feel very light and easy to wear.
I have the original BB 58 in black and I like this color more. Maybe because it is different (I only have one other blue dialed watch, an IWC PPC).

Tudor black bay 58 navy blue ! Media photos looked great but I had to see it in the metal. Once I had it on my wrist, I knew it was love at first sight because it looked even better than media photos. This piece is very beautiful in the metal and IMO is g...

relative basis to others such as its sibling Rolex and other high end brands. IMO watches are not β€œtoo cheap” per se on an absolute term to other luxury products πŸ˜‡

Gordon, Nicolas, Let my put it in another way :-)

if they would ask 40-50% more I don't think they would sell one watch less Euro 3470 is a bargain for that watch, If 5K would be the list price, people would still find it a fair deal I believe

Hi Bruno, we need to recommend Tudor to...

The amount of hype they could create is truly impressive.

 
 By: Reuven Malter : July 24th, 2020-14:23
I probably liked the first versions of the 58 even a bit more. Congratulations that you could get the watch so fast!

Thanks ! Perhaps the hype was due to others...
