Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight. The 2018 edition of the Black Bay Submariner is a killer.
39 mm, yes, you read well, 39 mm case, finally! Gilt wording. In house movement. Red Triangle on the insert. THE Black Bay? AND... The bevels on the lugs... We are not far from perfection. One regret, though. The shield logo instead of the rose... For the...
Excellent edition…
things move on and the issue of the rose logo is not a deal breaker for me.
So far Rolex and Tudor are delivering super strong offerings.
Need more time to reflect but for first impressions the strongest brand releases this year maybe...
Not confirmed though just read it somewhere.
Nonetheless if that’s the case there would be at least 2x Tudor and 1x Rolex I “want” but that seems excessive hah.
from a site covering Baselworld (hope I not not infringing any forum rule):
the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is not only a bit smaller than a standard Black Bay, it's also quite a bit thinner, coming in at a svelte 11.9mm (vs 14.75mm on the 41mm wide models)
Really nice piece, both on the strap and the bracelet
On the strap, it seems to have a vintage vibe without trying too hard.
Sweet, I love it.
It looks fantastic, after reading 39mm, they got me. I've seen it while my wife and I were having lunch today, I've reminded her how close my birthday is )) Very, very nice. Best, Vte

Almost..
But still lacks the charm of the rose and the curved "self winding” script at the bottom of the ETA version. As small a detail it is for some, i personally put more weight on it over the apropos 39mm diameter. I can live with the ETA version if and when I...
I agree
79220N is still the grail in my opinion. This will become the standard that I compare these newer models to.
There are still 79220 R or B sitting in AD cabinets waiting for a home.
The N however is a different story.
Very nice .... but
41 is Imo always better than 39 And definitely in case of a sports watch Bigger and thicker is Imo better for such a piece But it does indeed look great
Nico, how about a PPro moderator ask Tudor if they will make a special edition for PuristS with the rose logo?
And red writing for 200m=660ft? The P16 watch. (JTodd is trying to reach out to Tag Heuer about a Carrera PuristSPro watch.). What if we could have both? Sounds awesome to me. 😱🤗 I would get both. I mean we know that Tudor is going to make a bunch of diff...
