Great to see and hear you day-by-day in better spirits! Go, Britt!
Excellent review. Thanks. In a world where Tudor makes it easy to lurch after every new release, I found this helpful. Love the T-fit bracelet, but with a 7.5” wrist, I’m not tempted by a smaller watch.
Looking great Britt!! Im so glad youre recovering well!! Loving all the Tudor content too.
Can’t wait to see that vid, Britt.
The one thing I really love is the counterbalance on the seconds hand - it would look weird on the diamond/snowflake seconds hand but it was always the one thing I liked about the Submariner handset.
Definitely digging the Tudor content. I'm very happy for you that you were able to get the BB54. It looks perfect on you. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you for making this video Britt! Just what I needed! I'm also enjoying the Black Bay content, keep it up!
Great video, but the best part is seeing how well you're healing up with every video and Instagram post!
A great review Britt. You are looking good. Happy you are getting back in the groove. I love the look of the 54 but I have 7 1/2 inch wrist. I am more of a 39mm and up . Who knows maybe one day I will change it up. I love the Tudor line keep it coming. Thanks again Britt
Perfect review - concise and laid out well. Really like the BB54 in terms of sizing and updates to the aesthetics. I think this is now the top Tudor my radar. Definitely think it has bumped the BB36 from my top spot.
As always, appreciate the great content!
Ouuu thank you so much Salty! This is high praise indeed!
Yay! Terrific review! Went to my AD today and sales rep told me one BB54 came in and flew out. When queried whether he’d honestly prefer a Rolex no-date Sub or the Tudor BB54, he said the Tudor. Know what? I believe him. At half the cost too!
I’m so glad your angelical Patreon song voice is back! 🙌🏼
Wow Britt, your photography has gone to another level. Well done 🎉
Awesome comparo, looking forward to seeing the third in your BB series. Thanks!
Good to see you perking up Britt.
I started my channel last year and just hit 800 subs today. You’re an inspiration, love your personality, style of video and your content! I am a Tudor fan also and just reviewed the pelagos 39. The bb54 is now on my radar thanks to you! 🙏👍
Whaaat! I need to go check out your videos now£!!!
@@BrittPearceWatches I need to make much more effort with my creative side sorry but hopefully you enjoy 😊👍
Britt, this is one of the best BB comparison videos! Nice job!
Great content, keep it coming. Very well put together and extremely informative.
U Are Rocking it Britt !! Your incredible Humor is Back also !! 😂Keep up the Great work!! Now I have THREE Tudors I want!! Lol 😆. Bb58 , Bb54, and the Pelagos!!! Keep healing ❤️🩹 and making us All Informed/ Laugh . Take care and Best Regards. Eric
Thanks for the info, great vid again. Nice to see your recovery also.
Nice comparison video. Can't go wrong with a black or blue dial. Glad you're doing better Britt!
Oh thank you sooo so much! 💕 feeling a little better every day! 💙
Great review. I love the smaller period correct crown, lollipop seconds hands and the fact that it has a rubber strap option.
Damn you Brit! Just when I thought I was out.. you brought me back in again! I was content with my watch collection but after seeing your last video I went down to the watch store and they had one that was sold but they let me take a look at it. Wow-perfect watch for my 6.5 inch wrist. It looked like a compact jewel-now I have to hunt one down. Thanks..thanks a lot! 😂
Great review, thank you! Especially the bracelet comparison was really useful! Would you please focus a bit on the dial? What does the sunburst look like?
The lug profile on black bay 54 looks so graceful with its larger lug width to case size ratio like those on the Patek Phillipe calatrava.
Its wild that I remember following up at less than 1k followers and that first video...omg...wish you all the success.
Gringa OG 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great BB comparison video Brittney. My wrist is a smidgen under 7 inches so I’ll have to try both watches on at the AD to help me decide.
Our Britt is back and better than ever..... Great review Gringa as you always provide... Makes all of your fans smile to see a new video and you making a speedy recovery! I am "Tudored" out as I have already indicated and since I am part Sasquatch - this watch is just not for me. But - I am sure it is a real gem for so many people - including "the Gringa"... Keep getting better Britt and please do not over-do it! Lots of good thoughts from your Gringo buddy! Take good care Britt and James....... Elton (back to work for me - but this was a very nice respite!!!)
🥃 cheers Elton 🙏🏼❤️
ELTON IS HEEEEERE! 💕💕💕 oh you are much too kind! Thank you sooo so much! I can’t believe how fast the healing is coming along. 💕✨ but now I have to go back to my real job soon 😅 NOOOO! Haha.
Yeah, the 54 definitely isn’t for the large wrist crew! What do you have your eye on next?! 😱 anything you were particularly excited by at watches and wonders?!
So happy to see you getting better! You are a rock star Brit glad those crappy painful days are in your rear view. Love the Tudor content, keep it coming.
Ahhh bless you! I am honestly a little better every single day! 💕 althoufh I might have overdone it with the talking yesterday 🙈 my jaw is not having it today!
The sacrifices you make for us!!! 🥰🥰
Thanks for the comp, enjoy your channel!!!
Brilliant Video - review, thank you Britt. I have had countless diver and other watches since 1965, including Brietling, Eterna, Citizen, Seiko, Omega, Rolex.... Last September I bought the BB58, blue. Love it but..... last Thursday I tried on the new BB54. My BB58 is now for sale ;-). P S I have a six and a half inch wrist.
I’m loving the Tudor content. I’m getting that new burgundy asap. Keep it coming Brit
Glad to see you are feeling better. Great video and purchase.
Thanks for this video and its so nice to see your recovery!
Do me next?I have the GMT and the Chrono with the black dial. Your thoughts. Nice to see you coming back stronger and full of life. Thanks Britt
I picked up the first BB54 from my local AD and I instantly fell in love. I think that its dimensions and details make it the perfect “do anything, go anywhere” watch. The slight sunray dial and no hashmarks gives it an additional refinement and the slim case gives it the versatility to dress up or down.
Right?!?! I couldn't agree more! Mine has not left my wrist since I've got it!
I’m happy to hear that works for you. To me - sunburst dials don’t belong to dive watches 😅
@@nikouai I respect your preference and you’re certainly not alone! I will say on the BB54, the combination of the matte aluminum bezel with just a slight reflection is a great combination that adds a nice dimension to the watch. I don’t think it would work as well with a ceramic bezel. Also the effect is very subtle and muted only barely catching the light. It is not like a true sunburst like a datejust or skydweller that has a very strong radial reflection. It’s hard to describe, but in the steel I think it’s very well executed.
I'm glad you are doing better !!! Take care of you !
i tried on the 54 yesterday and it honestly fit so well on my 6.75 inch wrist. i was pleasantly surprised!
also EARLY GANG!
EARLY GAAANG! We here!! And the 54 wears sooo nicely doesnt jt!
Exactly what I needed to make my purchase…. Good looking out pal!!
Love your content, this is what drew me to your channel in the first place, keep up the good work♥♥👍
Whaaaat! Thank you so much!
Thank you for doing this comparison! I am actually considering both of these watches myself. I have a 7.3” wrist, so I am leaning towards the BB58 Blue, but think I’ll wait to see if it gets the T-Fit clasp before I make a purchase. Your video was very helpful!
Bought a bb58 blue recently ! Much better than the black me thinks aesthetically
Great comparison and happy you tested the bracelet swap. This means the 54-rubber strap will fit the BB58, maybe the thinner end link will look better than the original for the bb58. Time will tell
Ahhh I still need to see it on the rubber. I’m sure it looks divine!
i LOVE all the scratches on your BB58!
Hi Brittany, it's good to see you're on the mend and back to vlogging. I'm lucky enough to have picked up my BB54 this morning - I love it. Just the right size for my 7 in wrist and the heft, style, and lume is excellent. The watch lives up to the hype. Now I just need to figure out which daughter I'm leaving it to in my will!
Great video,, I love both of them.
I have one concern about the hue of the steel on both watches, is it exactly the same?? (In the video the BB54 looks a bit darker, but maybe just because of the black dial). As I’m considering buying the BB54 clasp and install it on the BB58 blue
Great comparison. Really looking forward to someone doing an SKX013 / BB54 side by side also
Thanks for the great content, Tudor fan here as well :D
Apologies I didn't scroll through the 360+ comments, would you be able to share the weight of both watches please ? (sized for the same wrist obviously) I am curious to see how the small dimensions translate in weight gain (or loss rather).
Keep it up ! Cheers
Great comparison, glad you're better!
I have the black/gilt BB58, a 7.5" wrist, so for me the 58 trumps the 54.
Never be sorry! As someone that has a small 6.25” wrist I always look for reviewers that have a similar wrist size to mine to see how the watches look and that BB54 looks a dream girl! Still saving to buy that thing
Again a super interesting video - well done 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Enjoy your new Tudor! As my dad used to say, wear it in good health!
Just went to the store for the BB54, but then tried both the 54 and the 58 and decided immediately for the fifty-eight. Both are great but you can only decide having had both on your wrist.
Would love to see that blue bezel with the black dial. And maybe a black bezel with the blue dial as well.
Also, would love to see them do a limited run of rough textured dials.
Keep the black bay stuff coming I’m making the choice between which one rn. Leaning towards 54
Britt, the BB54 looks fabulous on your lovely wrist! And looks like that’s it’s purpose, to grace ladies and gentlemen with slender wrists. However I’ll keep my BB58 for my 7.5 inch wrist where it looks just perfect.
First - so great to see you making videos Britt! Best of luck on your continued recovery. Given the bracelet, flatter case, and a roughtly 46mm lug width - it doesn't look like it would be dainty, at all, on a 6' guy with a 6.8" wrist. Do you agree? The measurements remind me more of a Doxa than anything else - and that's a watch routinely worn by people with larger wrists, despite the small dial.
Darn you Britt! Now I have to go source the BB54 rubber strap with T Fit clasp for my BB58!!!!!!! I knew it would fit! My AD thanks you for the business.
I had that OG BB burgundy and foolishly sold it. I managed to rebuy it before it started popping up in price and I have never been tempted to sell it again. It’s the original and the most charming if you have the wrist to pull it off. Cheers.
Hey Britt, thanks for the comprehensive comparison between the 2. Have you looked at the older midsize Omega Seamasters? I have the reference 2551.80 at 36.25mm and I believe its a great fit for mid-smaller wrists!
Having both the BB54 with a BB58 blue is the perfect combo tbh. I want both! I wonder if we’ll see more black BB58 on the used market. Also, your jaw seems to be healing quickly! Happy for you. Have a great day all
Do the bb54 and bb58 have the same links?
Great video as always ❤ Forgot to mention the bezel grip has changed (less coin edged) and no minute markers on the bezel between 12 and 3. Love your content.
You know, I genuinely did not notice the bezel grip until I was looking at the B Roll for this video!
You know, I genuinely did not notice the bezel grip until I was looking at the B Roll for this video!
@@BrittPearceWatches It’s subtle but if you’re not a big fan of coin edge bezels, it’s one notch closer to a tooth edged bezel. Minor details only we notice 😂
Awesome video, thanks so much.
Terrific video. Loving the BB54 content.
Love that video, exactly what I was wondering. Getting on that 54 wailtlist. Wish I'd had metas aswell but can't wait to buy one👌🤤
Ahhh I'm so glad this video was helpful!
@@BrittPearceWatches just not helpful for my wallet 😂🤣 this watch curse we all have to deal with 💸💸💸💸
Hey Britt, thanks for the comparison. What about the shade of steel if you tried swapping the 54 T-Fit bracelet with a Blue 58? I have both the OG black and blue 58s and I'm sure the blue version is slightly brighter (although very hard to tell)? Not that I plan to do so as the 54 is a tad too small for my taste and too similar overall.
The black bey watches are amazing. I will be purchasing a new one in the near future.
Keep the Tudor reviews coming. My next purchase is going to be either the 54 or 58. Also looking at the Ranger and the Pro.
Ouu hooo! Sit tight! More BB content IN BOUND!
Love the BB reviews!!!!! What about the sun ray finish on the 54 versus the flat finish on the 58?
Oh no! I so wanted to spot the difference in the ‘grippier bezel’ everyone keeps mentioning 😂 ah well. maybe next time 😛 great to see you back in flying form Britt
Great news on the bracelet. Will fix the main issue I have with my BB58 Blue.
Right?! But sadly still faux rivets!
I’m 6ft tall 190lbs and have a 7inch wrist. I picked my BB54 up from my AD a few hours ago and am obsessed with the size. Compared it to the 58 and preferred the 54
Thanks for the video! How is your recovery coming along?
People keeps praising how good it is to wear in this new size but from an owner of Black Bay 36 point of view I’m very curious on the difference of dimension compare to bb54, I suspect that the thickness, width etc are super close to each other. Sadly I don’t find any comparison on UA-cam yet.. I do think that the new adjustable clasp is a big plus on the new bb54
I can’t believe how much 2mm can affect the overall shape and design presence of the Oyster Case design language… it makes the overall footprint more tonneau in shape vs. donut… definitely on the “buy” list now 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The new burgundy 41 is my new crush but can’t go wrong with either the 54 or 58! Thank you ma’am!
Right?! I need to see the new burgundy 41 in person! Love the jubilee-not-jubilee bracelet
Went to a couple of AD’s today on the off chance they had one in and no luck. They are hoping to to have one or two in by the end of this month so just waiting for that phone call to go take a look. Not really tried one on before but the GMT fit fine on my wrist, albeit a little tall, so this slimmed down Burgundy 41 should be fantastic. My BB58 Blue needs a new best friend, honest!
Love the Tudor content!
Hey Britt. Love the video yet again, swear I comment that after everyone! (Love them all though) would there be any chance of you reviewing a Doxa 300 vs 300T, know it’s a long shot but would be cool to get your opinion! Thanks
Thanks for the review! Please make a comparison video of a Rolex Explorer 36 and this Tudor BB 54. It would be nice to see the size difference and hear your opinion :)
Great show I needed a comparison and you look great
I really ( I mean **really**) love my BB58. It lives in the same tray as watches costing 5x the MSRP, and yet still gets the most wrist itme of them all. Mrs C loves it, but it's too big for her IBWC compliant wrist :D Problem is, we can't buy one. Tudor has been infected with Rolex AD habits - I'm not going to make an appointment with a brand ambassador, and wait for a £3000 watch. Just silly. That said, it is *lovely*. Also, it's brilliant that you are able to make great content like this, despite the state of your jaw - you're a trooper - thanks WG.
Although I haven't seen the 54 in person the Black Dial 58 still does it for me. I love the added worth from the rose gold numbers and red triangle at 12 on the bezel.
Ahhh YES! I wish I liked the black and gilt BB58! Too much gold for me ^_^ I think the gold on the bezel is just too much for me! But we all like different things!
Gilt, not rose gold.
@@BrittPearceWatches hm, doesn't the gilt fade away from the watch after 2-3 years?
@@lasses3887 some folks have reported that yes
8.5 inch wrist, 6’1”, 250 lbs: tried on the 54 and I REALLY liked the size. Reminded me of my OP. It’s thinness is killer on the wrist. Watch tastes are just big these days. Wear what YOU like not what the Internet likes.
That's a lovely looking watch :)
I wonder why the watch world always refers to wrists sizes by the circumference in inches. We never actually take the circumference into account when looking at a watch on the wrist and sizing it up - we look at the flat of our wrist and at how much space (or lack of) there is between the end of the lugs and the edges of our wrists. Perhaps an edge to edge size in millimetres is a better measurement.
For example, my wrist is only just over 7 inches in circumference but is 60+mm from edge to edge so I can wear big watches that are 55m lug to lug and they still look fine. A 36-37mm watch with 44mm lugs (that everyone says will be fine on 7 inch wrists, wears on me like a 32mm would on most watch journalists :)
I'm sure there must be people that have the opposite issue, and everyone else in between. Edge to edge just seems like a much more reliable method for guaging the size :)
Hi Britt, great review, but I have a third C ! Crystal. Could you advise the Crystal / dial size between the 2 watches
Britt, Can you please see if the new jubilee bracelet will fit the Tudor Black Bay 41mm smiley? I have one and would like to know.
Hey, great video. Could you shed any light on the dial colour/texture? Not many reviewers are remarking on whether this has a matte, gloss, sunburst dial etc. Hard to spot from the videos. Cheers!
I like that case sizes are coming down. I have a 7.25” wrist. I wear 36mm vintage Seiko all the time. If that case size was good enough for my grandfather, it’s good enough for me.
Thank you for this video!
Brittney, could you compare the og burgundy heritage smiley with the new 2023 burgundy? I’m really curious to see side by side size comparison!
Love the vintage vibes of the 54. You wear the 58 well. Women in particular look cool rockin a clunky diver imho. Hell, I rock a Dweller and LHD on a 6.8 and get compliments...wear what u like😊
Great review! Thanks!
I don’t know if you have access to one, but would be AMAZING to see a new Black Bay 41mm red bezel (metas) compared to the BB58. I love the look of the new 41mm red bezel one, especially love the T-fit clasp, but am afraid of the rather chunky thickness and long lug to lug. Thanks, love you and your channel.
Hi, I have a BB58 blue and would like to get the warmer black too. What would you guys do? Buy a grey market 58 or the new 54 from an AD?
I wonder if it’s possible to just buy the clasp from the 54 and put it on my 58. I am intrigued by the 54, but, as you said, they are so similar, and I like big chunky watches, too. Also, I’d miss the red triangle, the hash marks, and especially the big crown. Some of us can’t afford 2 BB’s. Although, If I sold a few other pieces, I certainly could, if it were important enough, to me.
I wonder if the 5 link jubilee off the new burgundy bb41 will fit the bb58 or the 54 seeing how they are all 20mm... I'm curious.
Britt!! Love the comparison. And look forward to the comparison with the OG Black Bay. Too much Tudor content is almost enough for me. Glad to see Watch Papi let you borrow his BB58 for the video!! 🤣🤣🤣 That watch has been getting some serious IG time on his wrist. I guess it is all payback..Long Live the Cult(s)
BAHAHHA! MORE TUDOR FOR THE CULT MEMBERS! 😜😂😂✨✨✨ I’m soooo excited to have the OG BB in!!!!! It’s the first time I’ve spent some real time with one. What a WATCH! 🔥🔥
I've put some weight on, just measured my 8 half inch wrist I thought is was 7 and thought anything bigger than sub would look ridiculous, thanks 🙏👍
A great video. Hope you're feeling better-er BP!
I prefer the dial aperture on 58 easier to read plus hands have more lume on 58 & the 38.8mm on 58 wears perfectly.
These reviews are a lot of fun. How many dive watches is the right amount?
You failed to mention the knurling on the bezel. That is a major authentic reference to the vintage original. Having owned and worn a genuine 1958 Submariner for many many years in the past, the contemporary knurling on my red OG Black Bay always bothered me tremendously as did the crown with the same type of knurling. Now, on the 54, not only the crown goes back to the original Rolex-part design but the bezel as well. A very big further factor for me to put the 54 on the top of my "to get" list now.
