In my humble opinion, you are the most balanced and honest watch reviewer on UA-cam. Please don’t ever change ❤️
Thank you so much :)
I wholeheartedly agree.
I really appreciate all the macro shots to reveal all the flaws. Great job!
Finally an objective review on this thing that isn't just a gush-fest over a simple color change. Subscribed.
The aluminium bezel is the reason I bought it. I like scratched & faded bezel inserts. Ghost bezel is also very appealing.
Yours must be the most perfect, enjoyable and complete watches reviews I’ve ever seen. I specially love your macro and wrist shots.
I just watched this watch featured in Teddy's channel and thought how wonderful if would've been if Hafiz can feature this watch with his macro shots. Then this video popped up in my notification. Thank you sir!
Your vids have some of the best wrist shots of any reviewer... so helpful!!
Agree - wrist shot king
Best review by far. Most subjective stance, a great in depth exploration of the timepiece and absolutely beautiful production/photography.
Keep up the excellent work!
Looking forward to it have had it for 6 weeks ! Thanks for dropping
ln my humble opinion, this is one of the best watch review I've ever seen.
Always compelling analysis, one of the most underrated and best watch review channel, great job Hafiz, keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Hafiz, you are THE man, your content is second to none, I've subscribed and will keep watching. I picked up a blackbay 58 but in black as I don't like the blue!
Great review. Would love to see one on the omega railmaster or Globemaster.
I‘m not a flipper so I love the if the watch will be „mine“ with fading and patina... every scratch is also cool (that doesn‘t mean I hit it on purpose to get scratches...)... I‘m super happy about the Aluminium bezel and dial decision of Tudor. A ghostly white blue will be a stunning patina and will give the watch even more character.
Cameron Klondike The term Watch wankers cracks me up hahaha 😂
always appreciate your revealing macros esp as my vision deteriorates! 2 points: didn't initially realise the sticker on the side of the case (looked like funny polishing) and wrto bezel sound, the 60 clicks of the tudor differs to the 120 clicks of the rolex. i recently acquired the BB58 black and much prefer it to the blue as a more versatile and vintage vibe.
A long time viewer of your videos, and I finally end up suscribing since your reviews are top notch. Well done
I could listen to you all day, I’ve noticed a smudge on the seconds hand of my brand new 58 but the rest is all good, I looked at my Grand Seiko under loupe and found no signs of life 👍
Very nice review. I REALLY like that "random" wristshots at the beginning in all of your videos. That helps a lot to get an overview about the look and wrist presents. Could you do a review about the Planet Ocean 39.5mm? I would really appreciate.
Best regards!
I just got the same watch 2 days ago! My first Tudor, and I am impressed. Not a great quality difference between it and my Rolex watches. And so far it keeps great time. Did you mention the 70 hour power reserve? I don't remember hearing that but this is a point worth mentioning or repeating...
Best watch reviewer on UA-cam. Analytical + great shots
I appreciate the genuine passion that comes through in your reviews. Keep up the great work!
Excellent review, and might I say that this BB58 looks absolutely fantastic on your wrist, not too small at all.
Looks perfect on your wrist Hafiz. definitely a keeper
Yeaaaaaaaa! You got your Theme Music 🎶 back! Great video man!!
Great and thorough review as always, the Matt dual face is lovely and surprised with poor finish on hands not good enough, I prefer the aluminium bezel as I like the change in colour over time which will be my story. Privileged to own a Tudor GMT,
Tudor BBR and Rolex Hulk - having choice is the spice of life ! I also love the size as a daily for under the cuff as my other Tudor’s are better weekenders given size and my use. Keep up the great reviews !
I bought one after watching your review. Thank you for a great video and helping me to decide.
Great video! Which do you prefer, black or blue?
Watched this before I got the watch. Now I've got it, I am still watching. The blue is so gorgeous
Best reviewer, hands down 🔥
Hi, Thank you for your good job ! Please continue your macro 🔍 to encourage manufacturers to be more careful with our watch 🙏.
Loving the content, amazingly consistent quality! It's reached a point where I like your reviews before I even watch them.
That being said, I'm just not feeling this blue version of the BB58. Just too plain for what may very well be 'grail watch price' for most people.
Thanks so much for your kind comments and support.
Blue Bb58 I think is nicer in real life than it shows in camera. Especially when you relate it with oyster prince blue sub, it does make it very special.
@@HafizJMehmood Good point. I'll have to keep an eye out for this in real life to see how that blue comes across. Perhaps I'm just unfairly comparing it the the BB58 Black, which I absolutely love the looks of.
Tbh if you ask me, I think black one has more
Character than blue one, largely due to gilt dial and warmer tone. But this blue is nice as well, although I’ll pick black over it, if I am to choose one.
Awesome video! The Tudor BB 58 Blue is such a better looking watch than the Rolex Submariner in every way. It just blows it out of the water! The single best value in the luxury watch world. Put it on a Vanguard blue strap for great looks and all day, every day comfort.
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work. I have the 58 Blue since release and it still gets a lot of wrist time. Really complementary to my other watches like the Rolex sub (40mm)!
PERFECT VIDEO as always !!! Thank you so much. What an amazing good taste you have.
A good addition color scheme for this product line, though I still prefer the black/gilt combination.
And Black one is much cheaper now.
black/ gilt adds more character and depth to the watch
Really like your review so much more than all of the others out there. Great job showcasing the watch on your wrist to see how it looks in the real world. Most reviewers do crappy wrist shots. I think this watch size suits you perfectly. Very classy look.
You go to the details and your reviews are really fair not only going on the way the brand wants to...it really helps to have a real idea about the watch specially when you order without having the opportunity to try... keep it up and Bravo.
At around 9:45 in, you mention the size of the watch on your wrist and what size watch you appreciate. I want to comment on that. From my perspective, this size, and perhaps down to 36mm, is suitable and compatible with your wrist. Why? Because the bones/skin frame the watch and give it a place within which to sit. The analogy I think of of is a painting or photograph and how it is complemented by its enclosure, the frame. Without a frame and mat, the image floats and blends with the background upon which it is mounted. The eye does not focus as easily on it. With a frame and mat, the eye is directed and drawn into the image. I think this applies with watches and how they situate themselves in the small space on your wrist. If the edges of the watch overhang or dominate the wrist, the watch design and form is harder to digest. The watch sits on the space and not within the space.
I realize aesthetics and preferences are personal. You obviously identify and define what you personally like. That is how it should be. I just wanted to share a contrasting perspective.
Thanks for the review. I too own this watch and really enjoy it. It sits nicely within the frame of my 7.75" wrist.
Take care,
Michael
Thanks so much for your detailed comment and putting into perspective. I really appreciate and it’s enlightening :)
I’ve just kinda got to the state of mind where I wear just what I like, and I follow my heart. I have developed inclination to angular shaped watches and am personally a little out of love for conventional circular watches. I wear 35mm square watch and then I absolutely love 44mm octagonal ROO too.
But I generally like a watch to fill my wrist and show substance to my eyes. In the third person’s perspective, it does look big, but from wearer perspective, it just pleases me eyes very well.
Hafiz J Mehmood Yeah, always wear what you like. That is what it is all about!
Take care,
Michael
Hafiz J Mehmood hello hafiz and thank you for bringing the experience of these watches to us. I too like larger angular watches and more or less have the same wrist size and shape as you. I am thinking of pulling the trigger on the Favre Leuba Bathy which is 48mm but that I think is pushing it a bit too far 😜
Take care ✌️
There's a lot of hype around this watch, but I feel like you're one of the few to offer a fair review. Love the bezel sound comparison!
Another super vid 👍🏻 Love this new blue and patiently waiting to hear from my AD
I have one and I think its the perfect watch for the money.
Very good job. Thank you! I like blue dial diving watches. But I will probably choose a blue dial ceramic Omega SMP for almoust same price.
Agreed, SMP looks much nicer & in a different league spec wise 👍🏻
I think the SMP had the potential to be the best watch at it’s category and I tried to “love” it bit alas it has too many little issues that spoil it for me. Had it been 40or 39mm , had a tapering bracelet, and the hands were a little less skeletonized ( which would have improved the legibility) It would have been my champion. Bit the BB58 with all its negatives looks and wears much better on the wrist, just wish it had a matte ceramic bezel like the pelagos.
@@stevefox8605 and dial, indices, and markers are better finishing than tudor, and better movement too.
I like this review because you go into great detail when examining the finishing on the watch. The camera work is excellent. But you don't mention the accuracy of the movement. Do this and your reviews will be perfect.
Excellent narration and camera skills! Sub and Like added. I wonder if we’ll see ceramic bezels soon?
best watch reviews on yt
100%!!
Aluminum bezel on this watch is the correct choice because of the vintage design and feel. A ceramic bezel would ruin the vintage aesthetic, there were no ceramic bezels in vintage past.
Another great video! Please consider doing a review on JLC master control date :-)
Another lovely review.Superb photography.
Excellent and in depth review Hafiz.
Thanks a ton
I tried this on a few days ago. I have a 6.3" wrist and I also find the watch a touch smaller than I'd like. It is appropriate, no doubt, but it's missing a millimeter in every direction except thickness. I also find it (and please forgive me Tudor fans) a touch boring for some reason. Missing a certain luxury, or polish, or specialness somehow. It's... simply functional. For me, the 40mm Submariner still wins in feeling perfect on the wrist and brings with it that certain joy of "damn, I'm wearing something NICE."
Superb cinematics!!!
Great review and appreciate your honest views on the watch. Nothing is perfect and we are all a bit different and quirky when it comes to ‘our little hobby’. Keep producing your awesome vids. S
Chosen 41mm black bay black dial against BB 58 black. After trying both felt that actually BB 58 wearing too small for my 7 1/2 inch wrist. And don’t like the way bracelet tapered towards clasp. Those with below 7 in wrist may be ok. Regardless of what heritage thingy states, blue dial seems too blend and boring.
Really enjoy your reviews, Hafiz!
Great video, best macro shots iv seen so far on this one! There was some really ugly scratches etc. But PP have them as well i guess.
I have subbed to your channel even though you're probably going to convince me to buy too many watches. Great work!
Great review and great watch although the poor quality like Rolex is putting me off. You really are better off spending a bit more and getting a Omega seamaster which is a considerably better watch.
Hi Hafiz ,
I’m now considering the BB58 just would like to know is there any pulling / pinching hair with the bracelet - from your experience?
Thanks a lot man 🙏🏼
Outstanding review and GREAT attention to details!
I’d go with this blue dial over the black dial. Somehow it gives me a sense of calm and peacefulness
Ceramic insert on the bezel would be much better , I agree but that aluminum doesn’t look bad . Macro shots are high quality. Thank you sir ! I’m still considering the Rolex 114270 because of this review.
Your reviews are really good. What size is your wrist
Surprising review. I had no idea there would be flaws like this on a watch of this price. Although some might say an MSRP of $3,700 is not that much, I would say I would not expect to such so many scratches and dust particles coming from such a prestigious brand. This is the first video that has me rethinking a purchase of the Navy Blue. Thank you.
Such scratches are very common on watches. Check out my other videos and you will out. I will personally not call these scratches as deal breaker anymore. Because otherwise, it will mean I almost cant buy any watch at all.
Been waiting for your micros, thanks for highlighting the inconsistencies (L)
After getting this one, now I'm waiting for the BB58 Chrono and BB58 Gmt...
I bought a BB58 Blue today and once unwrapped from its protective plastic I was disappointed in that although it's a beautiful watch the QC was a bit lacking. The bezel alignment is off and there is a stain on the boss of the second hand that I noticed straightaway and once seen can't be unseen. Saying that my 2019 Rolex 114060 isn't much better.
Great review! Have you had a chance to try on the leather strap version? I’m highly interested in it.
Many thanks. No I didnt try the leather strap version but it does look great in the photos.
Great video my man! I just subscribed.
How I love your macro...
Love the editing! Keep it up
Amazing Review and superb shots! I especially like your ratio of subjective observations and objective feature overview.
I don't get the criticism on the aluminium bezel though.
First of all it fits into the "heritage" setting of the watch. The BB58 wouldn't make half of it's resemblance to the old models with a shiny ceramic bezel.
Also on many watches like the old Omega SMP's or of course the Rolex 4-digit and 5-digit reference pieces people pay for beautifully faded bezels, leave alone gorgeous pepsi bezels that faded.
Would you rather have an Explorer 1 or the black bay 58 as an everyday watch?
Explorer 1 for me. I like black bay 58, but it’s too small for my liking.
Unfortunately I have a small risk 6.25 would you still lean towards an Explorer vs the black bay for the everyday watch?
I have explore 1 and is getting bb58 blue next week
both will be great for everyday use with extraordinary accuracy (-2 +2 and -2 +4)
Fantastic video. Well done
I’m having a tough time deciding between this and the omega 300m.
Anyone have any thoughts on one vs the other?
Many thanks. Really depends on what size you prefer. I personally find Omega a better value for money. Under retail, overall more interesting laser engraved dial, exhibition caseback, multiple colour option, less pricey and bigger size.
Hafiz J Mehmood agree. Thanks for the response. I think the 300m will be my next diver.
I have a 300M Great White and the BB58 Blue.. the Omega is definitely more versatile, rugged with the ceramic bezel, and the laser dial is very unique. Also, you can’t beat the bracelet extension. The only thing the Tudor has on the Omega is value retention and accuracy.
I think the aluminium is a clear design choice and works well with the vintage vibe. I agree lack of lume on the bezel is a mistake. Great review as always
I think you are being a bit harsh on Tudor.
I have seen more imperfections and finishing issues on a 30k Audemars piguet.
Damn you! Now I have my doubts again about Aquis vs Tudor!
I have a sub, but i want to switch from sub to this because i still think the sub is too expensive for a watch for me to wear. It went up in value for 600 dollars, it's a very good investment, it just make me wear it more carefully. After watching your review, i think the tudor is way worse in terms of build quality, not even closer to the old subs. Do you have any recommendations for me for my next around 4000 dollars watch? I like sporty watch with metal bracelet, thank you very much.
If I was to buy a 58 I'd ask to borrow a loom from the AD. The finishing on the hands and the dust inside the case was terrible, certainly for a watch at that price point. I hope that's the exception rather than the rule.
Fantastic review, the blue dial is 🚀
Not going to lie, I thought the first bezel sounded awful. I own a Black Bay 58 so I was a bit confused Bevan’s I thought it was going to sound worse.
Lovely review. Thanks!
i liked the sound of the tudor bezel more??? More chunky!
Another fantastic video, Hafiz. Great videography and informed content presented in a very measured approach. This is a great watch. Tried one at my Rolex AD a few weeks back and it was very comfortable. A good one-watch option and something that a buyer can get without a 3-5 year wait like that of the Sub. Agree with your assessment of the flaws, which for price and availability, I think buyers will be able to look past. Also, I never liked the artificial patina look of the dial on the black model while the blue is crisp and clean.
Super review - been looking forward to your opinions on it.
i got a spec of dust on my dial when buying new at the rolex/tudor boutique.
Great video, keep up the great work!
I bought this watch after watching this. Simply beautiful watch, and the best pound4pound mechanical watch on the market.
Great video! 👍
That’s the Pelagos
this or the Omega smp300 for me, hope to own them both some day!
Love your videos. Please do a Panerai 914 bro appreciate it
Hafiz, do you sell watches or are these all from your amazing collection?
No, they’re not all from my personal collection unfortunately. Some I borrow from friends around me, some I borrow from a shop, and new releases, I mostly buy only for review. The ones I buy for review, I do then on sell them after review is completed.
Not the best business model tho as my funds are stuck many times indefinitely 😅
Great review my friend.
Thanks for the video!
Not a fan of the whole black bay line, would prefer if Tudor expanded their more original lines like the Pelagos and North Flag rather than keep churning out Sub homages. Good review tho, Cheers 👍🏻
I think it’s starting to distinguish itself from the submariner slowly.
I myself personally am a fan of BB58, simply because of the smaller lugs and snug fit.
@@Khan-di1qh fair enough, tho it's not as original as either of those I mentioned. Wear what you love and love what you wear 👍🏻 Cheers
looking at more and more of watches of such finishing quality just pushes me to get a GS
G-Shock? 😂
We if you watch GS reviews on this very channel, they're not perfect either.
Very enjoyable review!
Another amazing video!
Great review thanks very much. 🇬🇧. Ps. Love the rivets
So glad I found this channel
My everyday watch Tudor bb58 black ❤️
Very nice watch but would rather have a Seiko Captain Willard 😀
Great video
