Welcome to the Black Bay!
As I am wearing my S&G right now, I think it is one of the most enjoyable purchases in horology I had for years. Even if the 58 would be a tad too small and date-less for me, the Black Bay series as a whole is a magnificent way to celebrate the tradition of mechanical watchmaking. It is solid, has wonderful looks, high quality, and is also unique movement-wise. That at an extremely competitive price.

I do not have words...
A good friend, who is also visiting Watchprosite on regular basis, gave a present. He is a Patek collector and we recently discussed about, what else, watches. I told him that I have been thinking about buying Tudor 58 and next morning he showed me a phot...
I couldn’t agree more. It’s a great watch.
P.S. I would like to be friends with your friend. 😏 Regards Kev. ...
He's a great guy
but he seems to be picky with his friends. I supposed he's selecting people who are a bit nuts and weird. Best, Kari
Tudor are on fire.
Let's be honest they are Rolexes in mindset, design, execution, chronometry, fit, finish and service backup. Your words "heavily, really heavily overpriced" rang very true in my mind when we think about everyone else. The cool thing about them is they can...
An other way of looking at the same issue is:
Tudor is really underpriced, a real bargain. Best, Kari
I love it when our hobby produces actions and stories like this!
Congratulations, and thank you for your review on this piece!
Thanks. That wasn't a review. Yet.
I have to remove the stickers first. My post was just "first impression". Best, Kari
I loved the Tudor Black Bay since day one. I wanted to see it in the flesh, and then I had the confirmation it will be in my collection, one day. The Fifty Eight is no exception. A...
Very well made watch. And what a gesture! Best, Nicolas
It is a great Tudor
Very sensible in every way, as you are saying. Congrats to such a friend!
I just got also Rolex new Pepsi
and I wonder why a product of the same factory can cost 2.5 times Tudor 58... It's beautiful, a well made diver and a real bargain. Best, Kari
The BB GMT can not hold up against the 58
Too thick, too big for my taste, only. Proportions are simply not working on me. The 58 is perfect! Very, very simmilar to a 14060, even more comfortable.
I agree 100% with you.
I ordered Tudor GMT when it was introduced and finally ended wearing Pepsi. Simply better proportions. However, in my opinion there are no Rolex Submariners which could compete with 58. Best, Kari
Congratulations Doc!
Hope you will enjoy it for the longest time A fantastic gift from a great friend I would say 👍🏻 Mine says hello Cheers ...
congratulations for having such a friend...
you just made me looking on the Tudor site for more details over the 58....simply like it..a lot...y
People are slow.
My friend who gave me the watch decided to turn into a Flipper. He will get 10 of those. Kari
What a wonderful and generous gesture of your friend Karl! Congrats of both of you! Absolutely agree with your comments about the BB58...
... I share with you those comments. I have been a fan of the BB since day one, and own an example of the red bezel ETA movement example, a later model with new movement and black bezel, a GMT, a chrono and a Bronzo. My only complain has been its thicknes...
He placed already a big order.
"Presents", he claims. But I can smell a future Flipper. Kari
I do not have the slightest idea.
Perhaps it got its inspiration from 1958 Submariner. I don't know. Kari
Thanks for explanation.
Well done Rolex. Sorry, Tudor. But who really cares. Same thing wrapped into different paper. Kari
Congratulations. I agree should be in a collection.
I’ve had mine a while and love it and wear it often. It is so much watch for the money. I enjoy mine on this strap. Enjoy your very kind gift my friend. M. ...
Seems like whoever wears that, it's the right size.
I need to get the leather strap with folding clasp. It would be nice to change every now and then... Best, Kari
Yes my original rose logo BB has this strap.
The black distressed leather strap and buckle is very nice. The brown distressed is also great. M. ...
After reading all the good things said about this watch here
went to the SF AD and was told the wait list is now about 3 months
Only three months!
That is remarkable. I guess 58 is simply too cheap. But when my friend starts to buy these watches, the queue will get longer... Best, Kari

Congratulations
Both on having a great friend and on your latest addition. I look forward to reading your impressions of the 58 after wearing it in. Personally I am a big fan. For long the black bay series was aesthetically appealing to me but the dimensions were not. Wh...
You are absolutely right.
A Tudor, especially 58, is a great addition to finest watches like Patek. Tudor is a perfect watch for hobbies like swimming, diving, shooting, snowmobiling, etc. A watch which can take the punishments and still both feel and look good. All this with a ve...
Thanks!
Yes just back from some time on the east coast in the US, now Turkey and off to some Greek islands tonight! And the 58 is along for the journey, perfect for the summer! Hope you are having a great summer with family (and some watches)!
The same to you!
Yes, this summer brought some great watches but till now, I will keep them as my own pleasure. I have been thinking a lot the motivations behind sharing watches in the social media and I did not like too much my conclusions. All the best, Kari
