So you’re telling me there’s a chance - Dumb & Dumber, greatest movie ever
Thanks for keeping the hope alive and continuing to talk to Tudor!!! I’m all in.
On flipping: we can all sign a blood oath, no flipping the watch the first 12-18 months, under penalty of death. What? Too severe...😳
Tudorwatch Blackbay 58 update
Tudor Blackbay 58 Update Discussions have been ongoing with Tudor UK. There has been a lot of information required which I have received from WPS and passed on. Some specific concerns were raised around “flipping” and I have given re-assurances around thi...
So, we can go forward with the purple dial and Tudor rose?
Please remind me what changes were being discussed by purists and thank you for reaching out to Tudor.
I really can’t discuss the changes, Tudorwatch will have the ultimate say
But purple dial....I can say for sure, no.
there was a wish list from PPro members when we first dreamt up the idea and talking among ourselves
Various asks to change the dial, hands and bezel — shapes, colors, printing, & style. Also there were guys who really wanted a near copy of the original Tudor 7924 from 60 years ago. I think most of us knew that it was all daydream stuff and we were shoot...
... did I miss something? [nt]
Anyway I’m in I placed an order to my AD one week ago for a regular version.
Thanks for the update Miranda ...
We look forward to the final decision & flipping cannot be deterred unless we engraved initials or name of the owners at the back ....
This is a good idea
However their will always be the case of flipping or sale as some member would be needing the funds or after some time need to sell to fund for their grail piece .. so far no successful plot exists of deterrence however at allocation level a caution can h...

If its only a change in the dial, i have 2 suggestions. Either a 3 6 9 dial, or a dial with snowflake ( square ) hour markers. And drilled lugholes if it is not to much to ask.
But i dont want you to go begging !!! Tudor should be honored they are `chosen` by Purists !!!
The picture you are showing, is that basically it
with maybe a Rose and some of the old language on the dial? I like what I see in this photo and the one you posted in response to someone (Rotor...). Is the price near what a regular Black Bay costs? With all of that answered I would be in.
Count me in !!
Wow ... exciting to see that this is moving forward. As said in the initial thread, count me in !!! ...
Hello Imran!
Thanks for the update. For me, after the no insert change - no hands change, I would feel glad with the gilt semi circula “smiley” text and small rose logo on the dial (classic looks). Cheers! René
+1 ..
I suppose pencil hands from Nico’s inputs would be out of the question. But a Rose and the smiley at the bottom as Rene said and I’m in. Thanks for the update, Imran. Best, Echi
Did you see the review of the BB58 just posted by Bullibeer at his website?
The watch is charming! Even more if those two little changes materialize, to my eyes at least 😍 Let’s hope. René
Indeed!
By the way, I didn’t have the chance to congratulate my French friends with regards to winning the World Cup. Let’s celebrate the rest of the month! Best. René
Love the curvature of the glass on the first pic..
And how the thickness is just right on the second to the last pic (and works really well with the thickness of the bracelet). Now a rose and a smiley and it is almost perfect. The size of the indices and the hands gives it a lot of presence on a smaller s...
Imran, Does no change to bezel or hands mean in everything? style, shape AND gilt? or could numbers on bezel and hands NOT be gilted?...
It would be odd if indices were changed from gilt ring to silver colored ring, yet hands and bezel numbers STILL be gilted. I did not think Rolex nee Tudor would allow the snowflake hour hand to be changed, but I was hoping hour hand and indices might be ...
It is very possible that Tudor has an already designed alteration to the BlackBay58 for release at BaselWorld2019, so does not want to make revisions for a Purist watch that...
would compromise its 2019 update. I saw a video with Tudor chief designer who, when asked what his favorite BlackBay design was, responded with an answer that implied his favorite design was for next year's BaselWorld. Food for thought.
Thanks for the update. The realities are what they are in terms of what is possible, I'm sure the end result will be great even though not everyone will be happy!
I'm still committed, as I was from the beginning.
I’m in 100%...
I have committed immediately when this was brought up many months ago.
REALLY looking forward to this one
I feel another incoming in the future 😁 The Tudor collection is getting bigger 😁
Thanks for the update
...would like to see a rose on the dial. Much appreciated and definitely still committed to this 'purists' me in! best
I'm in...
I hope we will decide with steel bracelet . Change dial with colored tudor rose . On the back case the web address and purist logo . Box with imprinted purist logo . I hope for a different reference like the tudor harrods. It would be nice to have a tudor...
Thank you for keeping us updated on this really cool project!!!
Sounds like a real possibility.
Count me in
Thanks for the update! I am have been following this forum for awhile but new to posting. So any changes to the crown or crown stem allowed? A big crown would be incredible (Without the infamous elongated crown stem).
I am in
hi Miranda, As mentioned in one of the other threads on this, I would love to be a part of this. I hope this venture will become reality. Thank you for your efforts. Claus
I'm all in, Imran!
After seeing (and missing out) on the Zenith Purist LE, I told myself that I'd try my best for the next one and this BB58 would be perfect as I'm a total sucker for divers. Plus this would be a great little brother for my BBB ETA version. Just like the nu...
Logistics may prevent me from signing up for one..
Last update we got I remember was that it was supposed to be a London pickup? If they can route it to a Manila Boutique, I’m in. Best, Echi
I responded in the other thread, but just to confirm: I am very interested
And that's solid. I don't intend to flip the watch. Pick up in London is not an issue. I want a BB58 in any case, so would probably end up buying one even if this project doesn't happen. But I really hope it does, and that I am lucky enough to make the li...
15th august , others thoughts
would you like with glossy dial ? i'd like it with the end links , like black bay one
