- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- I have been waiting patiently for Tudor to release a new dial variant of the 58 and that moment finally came with the release of the new Black Bay 58 Blue M79030B. In this video, we take a closer look at the piece and whether it is worthy of its hype.

Teddy, your recent video quality is still exploding!! Your shots and HUD-like infos you display around the watches you present are SO sharp! Really awesome presentation! I don't know any watch channel at the moment that is able to present a watch in such a professional way. Keep it up! All the best from Germany
Nice review on the Black Bay Blues. Really, you nailed this, crisp, clear, articulation. The best review I’ve seen yet. Keep up the great work.
I've had my BB58 for a year..its my "go to" watch for all occasions..great value, subtle & discreet 👍🇬🇧
I’m happy you recommend the Orient Kano Teddy, it haven’t got the love like the Kamatsu...... I truly love my burgundy one!👍🏻🤩 Great video, Teddy! 👏🏻👏🏻😃
Your macro shots are unbelievable. So awesome.
I went to a watch shop today to see BB58 blue and black in person, and I gotta say the blue one was absolutely stunning. Initially, I was leaning towards the black over the blue one, but I changed my mind once I saw the blue one on my wrist in person. The black one was still great too though.
Walked past the Tudor AD the other day in my city and wow the blue one looks so much better in person. I was initially think bb54 but that blue bb58... I can't stop thinking about it.
This and a Jaeger-lecoultre Reverso and all your bases are covered. From the beach to the Tux..
Excellent point and I totally agree.
Well said 👏
Okay grandma
Then you need a Chrono for the collection...

Love the design. Another great video Teddy!
Loved your video 😍! Very detailed, not to long. And well done 👍🏽 for the part you give the dimensions of the watch . Hope you get more and more watch to review .
The video production is off the chart! Well done and great commentary.
Your lighting is aways great but the lighting on this video was exceptional! I was saving for a BB58 but Seiko released the 62mas reissue and it stole my heart.
Pure quality from your content buddy, keep it up, i’m thinking about taking it as a first watch! I love what tudor did with this one, it is hyped but it is great, quality watch.
Looking to get one this Christmas. Great video teddy. Love your channel ❤️
Hi Teddy, great video as usual, good pictures and intelligent voice over. I really like that your all about content and not personality. Your presentation is top rate ,also you present a good mix of different prices and manufactures. If I was to pick one channel to watch I think there would be a strong case for yours .
Great review Teddy, as always
I very recently bought the Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to compliment a range of predominantly black-dialled watches in my collection that include the classic Rolex Submariner Date 16610 that I've cherished for 19 yrs. The Tudor is a super, very well-made luxury timepiece and I appreciate its rather understated blue dial and aluminium bezel compared to the 'bling-blue' ceramic of my Omega Seamaster 300. Like-for-like think of the Blue 58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. The blue really pops in daylight or in well-lit rooms and a pleasure to wear. Although not quite up there with the Rolex in the absolute quality stakes - but why should it when it's barely 35% of a Sub's retail price - go to an AD and try one on. An in-house COSC certified movement, 70 hrs power reserve.... you won't be disappointed.
A vintage fitting watch with modern styling is exactly what people with smaller wrists are looking for now. To me a perfect sports watch.
Hello Teddy your chanel inspired me to start my watch collection and now I'm a proud owner of a new Omega moon watch😀!
Like this level of production and presentation. Vwey good review. Thumbs up.
This review is great, thanks for your hard work. Just a quick question, I have the BB36 blue already, do you think getting the BB58 blue will double up?
If they had the pelagos adjustable clasp on all their watches, they would be perfect.
Great review and thanks for sharing it. I may be simple in my wants but this would be a grail watch for me.
Great job on this video Teddy, u offered a lot of different opinions and thoughts compared to others. So keep it up 👍
Really enjoy tour content Teddy. While the BB 58 is super popular, and this color way is attractive, I’m still partial to my BB Heritage 79230 with maroon, black and gilt. It’s a beautiful combination and despite standing a tad tall, wears great on my 7” wrist. Keep up the great work.
I love the black one and will probably pick up the blue one too. This has now become tied for my second favorite diver with my 14060 (Tudor is getting much more wear time)The only thing that would beat them is the 5512/3 (which is on my maybe sometime in the future list). Tudor hit an absolute home run with this watch in both colors
I recently purchased the Tudor BB Steel. Love it!!
I never liked the faux patina and gilt of the original BB58 but loved its size and wearability. Picked up the blue when offered and very happy with my purchase. Only gripe is lack of an adjustable bracelet
are you really happy?
Hey! I know this is an old comment, but I hope you still reply. Are you referring to the lack of a micro-adjustment? I'm curious, because I'm considering one of these. Thanks!
Just picked this watch up last week
The ad called me and said she just got one in. The watch is stunning. The blue is perfect. I also have the bb gmt. It’s a nice addition to my collection
Another great video! I found out that you have an interest in DIY mechanical keyboards and I would love to see a build video should the day come in your production style lol
I've owned the M79030B for a couple months. I love the watch though I've found I rarely wear it. In my experience it feels much larger than the numbers would suggest. It looks fantastic and is of extremely high quality but each morning I pull a smaller watch from the winder and this beautiful piece sits idle and I just can't pinpoint why. Still it's a wonderful watch that's well worth the money. The blue is the main reason I bought this particular piece.
Keep the content coming buddy. Great watch, will be selling my ETA bb blue to fund this.
Nice watch, great review.
Great Video! Had a 16610 with a 114270, sol them both and got OG58. Super happy with it only now I want to add a 16570 polar to complement it. The blue is gorgeous as well but I prefer the more classic black and gold, something about it is more special to me than the monochromatic watches on the market. Having said that, I am tempted to pick up a blue one as well.
Hi Teddy! Love your channel and vids! Need your advice on the need to have (or find) half link for BB58. Tried many combinations of tricks on the existing micro adjustment holes, did not work. Not keen on nato nor leather solutions too. Any hacks you can advise please? Thank you
Great video Teddy! Do you think it's worth it to upgrade from an oris diver 65 to a black bay 58?
great video Theodore.
For me the watch is just right in size. The first good mechanic watch I bought 16 years ago was the Explorer II - and now around 10 watches later I still use my Explorer II very much because of the size and the fact that the watch is so universal - which I think the 58 is as well. Plus I love wearing blue jeans and a shirt or t-shirt so the blue version would match the style. And let’s not forget the price/value here which is just amazing.
Update. Just got a email from my AD that I can get one next week. #lifeisgood
Bryan Davis Yes - been wearing it the last week. The quality of the watch is what I expected - good value for money but I have to say that finish on Rolex watches are on a higher level which is also the way it should be. I knew that I would love the size of the watch because it’s like my Explorer II. I got mine on the steel bracelet but I also ordered the fabric strap which I think will be great for summer wear. I love the fact that the watch fits so well with different straps so one can change the styling. I didn’t buy the watch to resale it but the fact that it will properly keep its value is of course not bad. The watch is very universal but I would not use it with a suit as a dress watch.....but everything els will be just fine.
great review, what is your opinion on william wood watches ?
Hi Teddy, i'm just starting my watch collection and have been looking at Tudor as a nice entry to the space. I've been looking at Tudors models this year, specifically the Royal and the BB 58. Do you have any additional insight on which way you would recommend between the Tudor range. Thanks!
Bought the 39 BB blue last week for my son's 34th birthday later this month. He's mentioned a preference for blue dials several times. I looked at the 41 and found it to be a bit overwhelming myself. He can always trade up for it or the black if he so chooses, but I believe he'll be very happy with this one. Enjoyed your vid, thanks.
I just turned 34 myself and am looking to buy one for myself that I found used for $2,700. Yours was a very generous and useable gift and I'm sure he's going to appreciate it for a lifetime.
@@joshitheyoshi2533 he loves it and is taking great care of it. His work beater takes quite a pounding, so I'm glad he leaves the BB at home.
I bought one. I love it. I had a maxi case no date Sub. I prefer this to that. It is a fun watch. Maybe it doesn't have the gravitas of your vintage Tudor Sub, but it has vintage design cues and modern durability. Of course, I have owned other Rolex and Tudor steel sports watches and have learned the case dimensions that work best for me. We all get to our ideal size/color/brand watch on a different path. That said, I do understand why people have been critical of the new Blue. But before anyone writes it off completely, it is worth a trip to a dealer to see it in person. The color is charming.
--Michael
Nice pick up! It is a great watch now and it will definitely hold its value and become a classic down the line. wear it in good health!
Great watch and great review Teddy. I wish I could find one of these somewhere. The AD's won't even order one for me. What is up with these watch companies that can't increase production to meet demand?
This watch is about a close to perfection as one can get. The 39mm is perfection and the shade of blue so nice!
Great review
I just picked up the blue face. Absolutely fantastic.
Great review, I am currently in a position of choosing a BB58 black dial or a Rolex explorer 2 16570, do I pull the trigger on the Tudor or hold out and save for the explorer 2. I like the Tudor BB58 because it has slightly smaller dimensions and this vid is great because you kind of showcase both watches I'm interested in. I am torn. But ty for the vid.
Very happy with mine,was on waiting list for original but blue is my colour of choice. Nice simple classic watch that can be worn with most things,
Great review as always Teddy. I am looking at buying the black Bay 58 but didn't know if I should get the black one which is Iconic or should I get this blue one. Which one in your opinion is a nicer-looking watch ?? Ray usa
Hey Teddy, big fan of your channel (and Courtney's too for that matter). I'm a baby collector just starting out and on a budget, but I have a couple of random questions for myself that I've not found a clear answer through all the videos I've seen so far:
1) Is there a real difference between an "everyday" watch and a "beater" watch?
2) If my wrist is 6& 3/4 inches, is it better to err on the smaller side (6 1/2) or larger side (round up to an even 7)?
3) Given my second question, what would be your recommendation for how "big" a watch I can get away with wearing? I understand lug to lug distance is a factor, and I'll keep that in mind. But as a general reference, what range of watch size would be appropriate for my fairly thin wrists? I also have slender fingers. (I'm a pianist.)
Thanks for your time, and keep it up! I'm a new subscriber and fan of you and Courtney. :)
Hey Teddy, I have been watching your videos for sometime by now, and I like your videos. However, I never saw a review on VORTIC or LIV watches. It would be nice to see a video covering these two.
Great review as always. I keep going back and forth on this watch and the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage B20 in Blue, or the new Blue and 18K Red Gold model (If I went Breitling, I would pick up pre-owned to come in closer to a Tudor price).
Get the Breitling. Beautifully made, great heritage, readily available, and can be had at a discount off msrp. Tudor is nice but so overhyped by the watch community.
i am from Hong Kong, working in Japan now, a huge fan of you videos.
Been saving up for a second hand Breitling Navitimer in a second hand shop, and i am almost there. I am so excited that i am going to have it and wear it on my wrist but the problem is there is no certificate for that watch. The staff said they checked it and its real, but should i still risk it or buy one that is a bit more expensive but with a certificate?
I was looking out for this watch and by chance walked into a local dealer today. With the affordable Oysters (39mm being discontinued or with a waiting list of lighyears) not attainable, I asked for the 58 and the gentlement came back with this beauty. I was very surprised by the leather strap with its softtouch upper and what I though was either rubber or thin flexi leather piece on the bottom of the strap which makes this a perfect summer watch to wear. The 41mm are just too chunky and the 58 appears all so light with non steal bracelet. It was big on my list so looking forward to rocking it and hope to pass it on to my son once he is older. Love the blue/blue combo and the specs are pretty impressive.
Tudor's sizing is the reason I have been a fan and have two 58's in my collection. I have proportionately small wrists compared to my body and the Tudor's compliment that well. Although it could be some optical illusion of mine LOL
I’ve now owned and daily-driven my BB58 for over a year now. I must say…it’s a spectacular piece! Checks all the boxes and is incredibly accurate. Literally +/- 0 seconds. The only problem is that I now have a watch box full of pieces that seldom get worn anymore
I’ve had mine for about 3 months now & it’s an outstanding watch! The 70-hr power reserve is nice but overkill…in 3 months I haven’t taken it off my wrist for more than 8 hrs at a time!
@@chriscon8463 Better to have an overkill power reserve, than one that doesn't get the job done. For example, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 200 would literally be an amazing competitor in the $2000-$3000 price bracket of dive watches, but its 38 hr power reserve and middle-of-the-road movement is a tough ask at its price point.
I feel like if a company is charging you above $2500 for a watch, it needs to either be COSC, have an extended power reserve, or both. Otherwise the value for money proposition suffers a lot imo.
@@OneLordeAnimeClipstotally agree, how on earth can extra power reserve possibly be overkill 🤷🏻♂️
I love the 80 hr on my Certina DS action 38, if I take it off on a Friday it’s still going on a Monday morning, surely every watch owner wants the most power reserve possible, one of the reasons the Quartz crisis happened was because they have (battery dependant of course) infinite power and that’s what people wanted.
@@pompeylad1977 Agreed. I got a BB54 last summer and the triple punch of the 70hr power reserve, anti-magnetic properties, and COSC certifications gives me some much needed peace of mind.
Love the Certina DS Action diver, it was one of my finalists when I was considering what watch to get alongside the Tag Aquaracer 200 and Longines Hydroconquest.
@@OneLordeAnimeClips my next watch will be either the 54 or 58, I do like the Hydroconquest too, ah I’m not sure now, I think it has to be a Black Bay though, such great looking watches, I also really like the Pelagos 39 too, next watch will be my grail watch so have to choose carefully 👍🏻
It’s beautiful. I’m going to get the Black Bay Steel shortly with date function on the stainless steel bracelet. Love these watches.
This is my first Tudor watch. I am in love with it. I have to say I prefer a date (no cyclops) on my watches. That’s my only issue. I also have the uncle seiko half link to get the fit right. It’s so Nice
Definitely buying this as my first “expensive” watch. Lol. Big fan of Tudor.
I just did.. bought it today, and it was my first "expensive" watch :)
MythoVirus Congrats man! :)
It's a lovely watch, am very pleased with mine, good choice
It’s a good watch because the black bay 58 is a good watch. It’s just not suddenly better because it’s blue lol.
Respectfully disagree. Bezel and dial colors play important roles imho. Yes color doesnt affect the movement but I think Tudor picked the right blue for this watch which makes it a good release in my eyes.
Nathan Mawhinney I think it’s better because it doesn’t have the fauxtina (a fad that will date badly). Too small for me, but the 58 Blue Smurf is perfect for lots of guys,
Totally agree, the colour scheme esthetics is a personal choice
Aesthetics is the only reason these luxury watches exist. Otherwise everyone would just get a $5 timex which can tell time more accurately, or just reach for their phone.
They really just need to make the 58 GMT NOW
The Tudor Submariner is very cool! I own a 58 and it’s an excellent watch. Enjoyed the video!
got mine yesterday after 3 weeks. love it. But guys, don't pay over retail
Shout out to Howard Frum in Chicago where I got mine 🤟
Will it rise or fall in value?
@@ELLIOT1311 don't give a fuck. If I want to make money I buy stocks and not watches
@@IvanBustos you mean if you wanted to lose money, you’d buy stocks at the worst time.
got mine in Jan, shout out to my local Tourneau!
I bought mine last week and buy am I in love!! I love it all. And even prefer the snowflake hands over the big R’s Mercedes. Mine is keeping -0.30 seconds a day btw.
I got my yesterday "navy blue" and; can only say that I really like it. Thinking on the black and gold.
Great review. Been looking at getting this watch already so I think this video has convinced me to go for it. Thanks … and don’t sell your sub!
Teddy, how would you say this feels on the wrist compare to say a Sinn 556 I? I love my Sinn based on your recommendation and so I am really interested in this Tudor BB58.
Amazing watch elegant in looks and great price , it’s a watch everybody should purchase in there collection 10/10.
It’s the best Black Bay to date.
Teddy is the only guy on the internet that brings up RADO watches
I prefer the original black dial and rose gold. I feel it's a little more flexible in terms of the types of strap options.
Really a hard combo to beat. I do wish they’d make a version that is just steel, non faux-patina lume, and produce a version of the bracelet w no rivets.
@@dirtyhipstergolf8412 thats the dream. without the gold too.
True. The original (which I have) works on virtually anything, whereas I feel the blue will work best on the bracelet.
Richard Northwood agreed. That and the BB36 are a perfect 2 watch collection IMO.
Are you going to make a video on the hot seiko of the moment? The spb143/spb149. I think it's one of the best watches seiko has made in years. And it seems like many others feel the same way.
Nice one teddy! I honestly have the same feeling that Courtney had 😂 I love everything about the watch except the hour hand that has a square ... just looks too big for me lol ... but had it’s own uniqueness ! Great video ted!
I love this blue!!! I’ll probably end up with this, as well as the black, with guilded markers, as well, in the case. Both just jump out to me. I’ve seen both of them in person, and just can’t decide which one to buy first.
Probably my next timepiece. Just acquired the Tudor Chrono Reverse Panda which I love. Looking for something a little smaller for my 16.5 wrist and I think this nails it.
Great video.Can you do rewiew of breitling superocean heritage b20?
Love the review, owned my baby smurf since 1 July and wears so well, is colour wise to Tudor what hulk is to Rolex
Really enjoy this watch!!!
Hi Teddy, was wondering what your opinion was on the Seiko SRPC79J1, was looking for a classy dress watch between 400-600 euros but I'm not sure if you think there might be better alternatives to this one
Gonna admit that the blue dial has that casual look unlike the black dial/gold tone which can suit a formal wear.. But that shade of blue is great. Again nice vid brother and keep it up ☺️
just bought this watch and im glad I did
I went my AD because I wanted to see the 54 and ended up getting the 58 Blue. I wasn’t sure what the shade I’d blue would like like in person but am glad it wasn’t the same as the Smurf. I like the snowflake hands but would like to see Tudor incorporate square and rectangular markers like they did on the Pelagos. Maybe Tudor is using style language to differentiate each model. I wear it on an Erika’s Original - a Marine Nationale strap almost seems requisite.
Lovely watch
Love this watch too.
Teddy, I have to tell you.. I think I might have to upgrade to a gaming PC to view your videos. The quality is so high it is unfathomable to my macbook LOL Great videos! Best content available on the internet in regards to wrist watches
Just picked up this on a blue nato strap. First AD experience, so stoked. Loved the navy Tudor submariner but couldn't justify the chrono24 resale prices.
Teddy, I have a question if you wouldn't mine giving your opinion. Looking at purchasing either a Longines Master Collection chronograph ref # L2.773.4.78.3 and a Baume & Mercier chronograph Flyback ?
To me, this watch is absolutely stunning.
I called my AD today to inquiry about purchasing this model and I was politely informed that there is a waiting list for it and they don't know when they were going to get any. I thought to myself I've heard this story before!
Best looking watch in the world!!
It’s a beauty it’s it Teddy! It’s still the watch that is my grail! Think the gilt dial is still better!
Great video as usual! Thank you and stay safe!
Teddy, I have to say that you have really pulled me in with your quality content. You have a nice blend of a crisp and commercial style but you are also a real guy that doesn't ham it up for the camera visually or vocally. You are honest with your opinions and seemed to be a real straight-shooter about your own collection. I have to say, I also like the videos with your girlfriend... She seems legit and she is also, obviously, not hard on the eyes. I think it's cool that she pops into video sometimes. I definitely like the couple videos where she picks her favorite out of a group of watches. Always interesting to see what the ladies have to say and it is, almost always, the opposite of what all of us dudes are thinking and saying, LOL. anyway, I have become a big fan and I think you are doing a great job. Oh yeah, and killer work getting some of those VIPs you interviewed recently. Up and up Teddy!
Hi John-Carlos! I very much appreciate this comment. I have learned quite a bit in the past few years and had no expectation of where the channel was headed when I started when I posted the original video of my watch collection in 2017. Excited where this all continues to take me. Thanks for the support and look for more interviews in the future once all the craziness of the world hopefully dies down.
Does it seem small to you compared to the other black bays? I’ve got the GMT and Chrono. I’m just not sure if the 58bb will feel small.
I picked up mine last week and only thing I don’t like the micro-Adjustment on clasp is not as easy on models like Sub/GMT Rolex, other than that I love the watch from size and colour point
I think you should get one and keep your Tudor Sub too 👍
Love the new BB 58 blue . It’s a winner
I'm looking to make my first luxury watch purchase. I was introduced to this brand and I really like it. I've been researching multiple brands (damn I've got a list of future purchases now) and my only concern with these Tudor dive watches is the lack of crown protection on the case. I really value durability. While there is a balance to be found, if all else is equal, I'll give the edge to function over form in most instances. Am I just over thinking this. Are the little lugs that protects the crown a solution to a problem that doesn't exist?
Teddy,
I just rewatched this and how times change... 7 months later and I just got back my 10 year old Seamaster PO from service and it feels big to me now after having worn smaller watches for the last 2 months.
I'm really thinking of selling my Seamaster PO and buying a Black BB58 to replace it.
Am I crazy?
Really think it’s awesome..... I have a 41mm blue. The 39mm just feels to small on my wrist but I love the all blue. I think Tudor knock it out the park here
This is watch is brilliant. Tudor did exactly what I would have done for their next iteration of the BB58: blue colorway, silver accents (instead of gilt) and replacing the red pip with white. This is my definition of a classic diver: no date complication, no crown guards, Oyster bracelet and 39mm case. Add to that an in-house movement and it packs a lot of punch for the price.
I'm a guy on a budget and $3,700 is not chump change. However, I like everything I've seen (online) and read. The next step is checking it out in person (once things open back up). It would be something I break open the watch fund for. Great video---especially the macro shots. I like your reviews. You present well without a bit of arrogance or snobbishness I detect with some other YT reviewers.
Thinking about buying black version of this for my first automatic watch.
