MASTERPIECE! I Bought the New TUDOR Black Bay 54 | Know This Before You Buy | Watch Review

MASTERPIECE! I Bought the new 37mm TUDOR Black Bay 54 | Know This Before You Buy | Automatic Divers Watch Review
Too small? I don't think so! I picked this reference M79000N up from my local authorised dealer and couldn't be happier!
It pays homage to the Tudor Submariner reference 7922 from 1954.
I also got to try on the Tudor Black Bay GMT with Opaline dial and the new Black Bay 39 with blue dial and jubilee bracelet. All these watches were just launched at the Geneva Watches and Wonders event 2023. Which is your favourite?

    37 mm is a ladies size these days, actually I’ve seen ladies in Milan and Paris wearing 40 mm Rolexes . 39 mm is OK but 37 mm is too small for the average man . If you are a small, skinny guy , with tiny little wrists and arms then maybe , otherwise it’s gonna look small.

    I couldn’t agree more with this review! The 54 is the most refined black bay, the slight sunray, thin case, and vintage sizing makes it a standout watch in my opinion. It’s a watch that you have to see in the steel to really appreciate.

And not just the size but the simpler bezel, being thinner, the t-fit. Just great! Bravo Tudor! One question - is the face of the watch sunray?

    Finally! Someone put up a video with real world lighting and dynamic conditions :-) I have gone to see the watch twice at the AD. I have a 58 Blue now. I have small wrists. This is great. Not too small at all. The only other thing that I noticed and was not mentioned was that the bezel, now has a more polished finish to the edge. This makes it just *slightly* more "slippery" to grip vs. the 58. But, its not a big deal, nor that much different. Just a hair less "grippy".

    Lovely watch. As an owner of a BB58 bronze (which I love), I totally agree with you on the need for a half-link on the bracelet. I’ve got the same wrist as you and there’s no goldilocks answer - either its one link too many or one link too few (and in either case you then need to use the full extent of the t-fit to get a comfortable fit - which totally negates its purpose). One half link in the bracelet would resolve this I reckon. But, minor gripe - these are all such nice watches!

    Superb review. So clam, accurate and pro. Love the review, love the watch. I think there's a little bit more personality to the 54 than the 58, it's hard to describe. 58 feels (to me) mainstream, 54 amuses its vintage feel, proportions, gilt but not too much, minimalist, everything feels in place... My 2 cents of course! (my wrist is 6'' 3/4).

    I always wanted a Rolex Submariner, but have very small wrists. Also, I don’t like the new ones, which are virtually impossible to buy. Used Rolex prices are crazy and watches usually not even serviced. I’ve just bought one of these and am delighted. I got the rubber strap version, which is superb, but as I have extremely small wrists, I found after a week or so, the metal bar of the deployment clasp was digging into my wrist. I’ve swapped it for an olive green NATO and am extremely happy. I think it’s a new classic. Much more akin to the vintage models and I prefer to the flash new Rolex. As this has the new In house movement, I wonder whether Rolex are much better? Iknow Rolex have white gold markings and a ceramic bezel, where as mine has brass markings, so that saves on cost, but this is great value at around £3,000 for a brand new watch with five year warranty,compared with a used unserviced Submariner with one year at £10,000 plus.
