My take: it’s not for most of us, even for those of us that own and like Tudor. This is for the man that can drop that amount on something without fear of bankruptcy, because he’s a Tudor mega fan. They *do* exist. I know a user on Watch Crunch that owns one on bracelet, and he adores it.
It's an attention grabbing product, that's all. Catch people's eyes as they walk past, but they walk out with the steel, like bright yellow/orange/green sports cars with racing stripes bringing people into the dealership who walk out with the basic white crossover. I bet 99% of these watches are nonfunctional display pieces
There is a big difference: all the watches you mention have leather straps or the 16618 has hollow links and a stamped claps. Either way, that's way less gold used on these dress watches respectively the mentioned 30 year old rolex than on a solid, 18k gold Tudor bracelet incl. machined quick adjust claps. It's still a ridiculous watch, but your comparison lacks.
Rolex probably doesn’t want Tudor stealing ANY market share of their 18k Rolexes (which have their best margins) and thus priced it very closely to their solid gold lineup. Rolex is making a concerted effort to grow sales of their solid gold models and a $24,000ish solid gold Black Bay may do just that.
To make this watch complete they needed to put their best movement in it. The movement needed to be finished to the highest level and have a solid gold roter.
The guy who buys this watch doesn’t buy it as cheaper Rolex alternative… he buys it to impress his AD to remind them who gets the first allocation on Rolex.
It does make sense, it is classic marketing/pricing strategy where you introduce a high end or top of the line product that is excessively priced, only so that when you do buy the second highest priced product, it “makes sense” because compared to that high end product the watch/camera/whatever you buy, is “cheap”….
I think it's not for people who have to choose between a Sub or a Black Bay, but rather for those who already have everything they can imagine in gold and want to add this to their collection too.
4:27 I thought: "Man that looks nice". Then the Sub came up and I thought: "Ok, THIS looks nice" Owning a gold GMT, I am always amazed how Rolex gold just looks so good in comparison, especially with black dials.
If I had that money I’m getting a second hand Omega Speedmaster Moonshine Gold with the Green Dial. So classy and classic and yet still doesn’t feel flashy.
Bark and Jack tin cups….the best mugs for tooth brushes and toothpaste. They work with coffee too, but I drink so much coffee I’m always having to refill them over and over.
I do not plan to buy this Tudor, but this is, on a completely irrational basis, this is the BlackBay I find the most attractive. A solid gold Swiss dive watch, what more do you want ? It has to be said that I have been on record for asking Sinn to manufacture a solid rose gold 556 A, on an H link bracelet. Not sure they have considered it, though. Pity.
Arguably the Omega Seamaster Chrono in Sedna isn’t a like-for-like comparison to the Tudor, but for about the same amount, that’s where I’d put my money.
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO
If Tudor could have found a way to retail this watch, at circa £20k, then it would make much more sense. The movement not being metas / cosc certified, especially at the price point that they are asking you to pay, is definitely an own goal imo.
I take my hat off to Tudors marketing There will be those who want to be the first to own one Tudor will later cater to the others who are holding off for an upgraded movement
I don't love it but I suppose it is a flex still. Something about that shade of green doesn't look great to me but who doesn't appreciate a solid block of yellow gold!
As somebody that isn’t a fan off gold watches, I think the tudors nearest competition is the 222. That brushed finish looks great and both are fine looking watches in no small part, due to the finishing of the gold. If I had to buy a gold watch at around 30k it’s a calatrava ref 5226G for me but would be even better in steel.
To be perfectly honest, this wasnt made for people who need to "push" to reach the gold sub. It exists for people that I can't relate to, because 27k is still a life changing amlunt of money for me.
You can get a similar look with the stainless steel BB58 by replacing the original bracelet with the one made for the Tudor Ranger model (with the new T-fit clasp and without the rivets). It is a pricey upgrade but the new look and functionality are amazing
I look at it in the same vein as those G-Shocks that cost several thousand pounds. The amount of people buying them is probably really low, but there's something about it that's cool. Maybe along the lines of consciously buying the less desirable brand's most premium offering instead of something 'better'?
Doesn't make sense but looks absolutely amazing in reality - I tried it on and man is it a nice watch. That greens works so well with the gold. Everything about this watch is amazing. For half the price - I would very seriously consider it.
Wonder if we'll see an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 in full gold at some point? The Moonshine Gold Speedmaster with the green dial looks wonderful, i'm just not a hand-winding movement type of guy... which adds to my "not having the budget to spend 30k on a watch" -problem
This was my dream watch until tried it on. The gold is brushed and doesn't look like gold. When my dealer called saying it arrived, at first I thought they were confusing it for the bronze version when they pushed the display tray towards me.
Stunning timepiece in green and 18k gold. The golden Hulk that Ive hopped Rolex would offer for years now. Price is another matter all together and nothing to do with the watch itself. Too expensive for the buyer? Move on, but its still a beautiful piece that I'd fit into the pile.
I find the BB58 in gold stunningly beautiful. It’s almost perfect. Unfortunately, the movement isn’t gold-plated. When you look through the open case back, you can see that it hasn't been changed compared to the BB58 in silver. For the hefty price, this is an absolute dealbreaker.
Would actually be interested if it had a black or grey dial and bezel. You can pick up a used one on a stap in Japan for very reasonable money (if only it wasn't green...)
I think it's simpler than that, it's Tudor rounding out their range. This is them dipping their toes into a more luxurious end of the market, like Omega have been recently too. In typical Tudor style its a robust, tough, chunky kind of luxury. This is the Tudor version of "high end". I don't hate it, but I don't love it enough to drop that kind of dough either.
I think it’s fine, it’s a flex no matter what. It’s not realistic for any normal person, so I can’t really speak to how a rich person would feel buying it, wearing it, and whether they feel better about themselves when owning it.
You should compare it to the GO SeaQ 39mm gold, which you can get grey market below $20k, but no bracelet, but you can see the movement (that is worth seeing)
It’s a solid gold watch with an in house movement- the price is right on where it should be. Where they missed the mark, in my humble opinion, is by making the entire watch a solid matte finish. Should have polished the sides of the case and bracelet like they do with their other black bays, and dressed it up a bit. It looks strange without that finishing.
love tudor ive the lhd pelagos and panda chrono ..the gold bb as a stunning watch but for that money id buy a lhd gmt rolex + an alange saxoinia thin maybe have a couple of quid left too
I like it, I daily wear a Pelagos 39, I like being different. Got tired of people wondering if my Sub was real or not and I honestly think the 39 is a better watch with the lumed bezel and Titanium. Only watch people ever ask me about it. If I was after a Gold diver I’d go for the Tudor over a Rolex, bet 20-40 years from now there won’t be too many in circulation
Kinda feel sad that Tudor has gone this way. The watch brands seem to be racing to the highest price. Locking more people out of the mechanical watch market
It's a nice looking watch, but you'd have to be crazy to pick this (or the full gold submariner) over the gold Omega Speedmaster and, of course, a gold Datejust or Day Date. I doubt anyone has anyway, tbh.
The problem with this watch isn’t the gold.. it’s the green dial with the gold. It makes the whole thing look strange. Maybe the green makes the gold look fake-yellow, or the yellow gold makes the green look like pea-green. I think a black dial would work better.
mmm Nice goldie looking Tudor - I do fancy a Rolex Sub in full gold but my Seiko "BFK" Big Freakin Kinetic which was my gateway drug to watches actually weighs bang on 200grams and you can drive a tank over it. Something nice about that.
That is a tough sell. I like the snowflake hand and in my family Tudor has become a thing for us…. But at that price I might be looking elsewhere to be honest! I guess I don’t have FU kinda money 😂
AB, T4YC: Very interesting thoughts and ideas. I really hadn't thought about it that way. I just thought they were increasing the average cost of the range by introducing a watch that was expensive and didn't actually need to be sold. It's existence was sufficient. Keep up the good work.
@@rowananderson8318 ok. Name a current production solid 18k Gold watch from a major watch manufacturer. If you’re looking for a PM watch it’s a great deal.
A solid gold Rolex Sub with a gold bracelet is 297 Grams. This watch is 100 grams lighter with similar proportions...Why??? Hollow bracelet links for $27,000.
I'm not a fan of the "pea soup" green. Like the brushed gold and size but just could't see myself paying that much for a Tudor even if I like the dial and bezel color
Tudor/Rolex are market testing here. It's like a concept car almost. Does the market respond to solid precious metal Tudors? Rolex themselves have skewed massively into precious metal and they're now dipping their toes in with Tudor, a few more of these with high prices also allows the brand baseline prices in steel to rise over a few years.
You would have to be a real Tudor Fanboy to buy this over a solid gold RLX Sub. Beautiful watch, but like you said goes against what Tudor has really made their name on, building value based tool watches.
How much gold is there on this watch and what would be the costs for Tudor to buy this gold? Assuming production costs would be the same as the regular BB58 and assuming that the regular version already has a healthy profit margin for Tudor... the profit margin for the gold version would be... collosal? Or am I missing something here?
for the price id expect specially binned MT-5400 movements that pass METAS. if Tudor didn't want to separate this black bay from the rest of the line they already failed on value alone as mentioned. Tudor wanting to sell that watch at that price, I would want METAS at a minimum.
My AD just laughed, its not a model, its a marketing exercise.
My take: it’s not for most of us, even for those of us that own and like Tudor. This is for the man that can drop that amount on something without fear of bankruptcy, because he’s a Tudor mega fan. They *do* exist. I know a user on Watch Crunch that owns one on bracelet, and he adores it.
Different strokes for different folks. I do like how it looks regardless of price.
It makes no sense. 27k buys you a platinum 1908, a 5227 Calatrava or a solid gold 16618 with cash left over to buy a steel
Tudor.
It's an attention grabbing product, that's all. Catch people's eyes as they walk past, but they walk out with the steel, like bright yellow/orange/green sports cars with racing stripes bringing people into the dealership who walk out with the basic white crossover.

Pure gold, but not as shiny as the Rolex. Harmonizes perfectly with the green elements. Closes a gap in the foundation's entire portfolio.

Agree. Its odd with this green, black would be better i think.
Almost makes it look like bronze with the green. Agree with black
It looks good on the strap it was designed for, or a brown-leather strap.
