Funny that no one talks about the all new 39mm size in this line-up. This is it's first appearance! Before it was the 32mm, 36mm, and 41mm. Now it's 31, 36, 39, and 41mm. This means that for guys who wanted an alternative to the Explorer, but 36mm is too small, they can go up to this 39mm size. Of course they can go for the new Ranger as well but this is just another great option.

36 is good for smaller men but doesn't fit a lot of men.

Tudor improved on basically every single complaint I had about the old Black Bay 36 range. No bracelet micro adjustment, power reserve too low, case too thick. At that price, the new Black Bays seriously offer a close to unbeatable value. I agree with you that these new Black Bays are more akin to the Datejust than the Explorer. Maybe one small personal preference I have, is the lower dial text used to be rounded, and I preferred the rounded text as it had more character.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tudor eventually brings the smiley text back, I expect it to take a few years after their entire line has in-house movements. There needs to be ample time for them to dissociate from ETA movements. For now, I would have preferred the bottom text to be a touch higher to reduce the negative space..

@brett233

Жыл бұрын

The bracelet did have micro adjustment, just not tool-less. The case is thicker on the new ones. I like the new Black Bays but the jubilee makes it look like a wannabe Datejust. If it had a oyster bracelet and was closer to $3k I’d be interested. But with the jubilee and being nearly $4k is too much for me.

I am wondering if with the update to the BB36 if they are moving it towards being more dressy because they will do a smaller Ranger to fill that 36mm-37mm sporty role. With the introduction of the BB54 at 37mm they have a new case that would work great for a Ranger in my mind. Similar to how they released the BB58 at 39mm and then released the 39mm Ranger later using the same case.

@KCTimeShare

A very interesting observation. Maybe a Ranger comeback is incoming next year 😎

I’m a huge fan of this, I have a 124270, so likely the 36 would appeal most, in blue. If they bring a green dial out then it’s definitely game over for me.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to your question. I hope someone else would be able to confirm.

Thanks for doing this comparison. The old BB36 was considered a bit of an Explorer alternative, and had that great lacquered/glossy dial. I had hoped for a 39mm variant with the same lacquered dial and Oyster with T-fit, but my hopes were dashed. This seems like a great watch on its own (I would wear the blue one in 39mm), but more dressy and like a Datejust alternative (without the date, which seems like an odd omission). It's such a shame, but I think the old model will become even more of a cult classic than it sort of was already.

It's not the same dial silver wise, it's a tad more yellow. I would be interested to see it because I felt the previous version (the silver version you had) was too close to the colour of the steel case etc, that there wasn't enough contrast between the two. Hopefully the new version shows a bit better in that respect.

Hi KC, i agree with what you said about the new BB36. (disclaimer, I haven't seen the real thing yet) But, I think I'm more disappointed with the new release. Perhaps I had too much expectations for the new release? I had been looking forward to the movement upgrade and T-fit clasp in the old BB36. But keeping that smooth dial. Although the new sunburst dial (especially the blue, man) does compliment greatly with the jubilee bracelet, additionally we can now experience the Jubilee at a lower price (no need to wait for that Datejust). But I already have a great Datejust alternative at hand, with the SPB259 Seiko Ginza Alpinist. And I feel like the new BB36 blue sunburst dial can never surpast the beauty of the SPB259 unfortunately. 🤔 And its seems weird that a "Datejust" alternative, doesn't have the date function. Therefore, although the new BB36 has all the features of a Datejust 36. In the end, it isn't a true alternative in my opinion. With this change with Tudor's BB36. I feel like Tudor doesn't want it to clash with the Rolex OP 36. And points to all who want such alternatives (Explorer 1/OP alike) to just save up and wait for the OP 36. 😮‍💨 Funny thing that the new BB36 cost the same as the new BB54 🤷‍♂

@@marcheezy. i have the same issue with the milgauss, it's such a slab on the wrist that it ends up feeling very dated, which is not how something spiritually "sciency/techy" should feel. always felt its chunkiness was an unfortunate contrast to how smooth and sexy the curves on its case are. it's definitely cool and unique, but the thing about novelties is they are eventually not so novel anymore.

Looking back, the Tudor Royal was a flop. The updated BB36 did not do anything to fix a sinking ship. The Black Bay Burgundy Bezel stopped the bleeding. The Black Bay 54 was a hit, a home run. It kept the brand alive, until 2024 when the BB56 GMT and BB Monocrome could arrive. Let’s see what happens in 2025…

The BB58 GMT and the Monochrome Metas BB are certainly a home run in my eyes!

I think polished + brushed suits the Jubilee style whereas fully brushed suits the oyster style. But that's just my personal preference 😬

Oh yes, the BB36 does look more expenisve than the Explorer! But I guess the Explorer is not meant to look expensive? Regarding T-Fit, it is no excuse but I guess it is because the Explorer is an 'older' model.

Amazing how cheap the Tudor looks compared to the Explorer. Word of advice having owned both. Just go directly for the Explorer if you're considering a BB36/41. As soon as you own the BB you immediately start shopping for an Explorer.

​@@KCTimeShare Yeah, I mean on it's own merit the black bay is an excellent piece. And it's very high quality. But it's outclassed by the rolex in basically every way when you put them next to each other. As it should at the higher price. So as long as you never have them side by side you're good.

In my experience I’d probably skip the Explorer, keep the BB36 and cross my fingers that the new tfit clasp can be added to the old BB36 oyster. 😊

I owned a bb36 for3 years. Felt great on the wrist, quality bracelet with Rolex dna. Having owned OP and this one , for the money more than holds it own. OP has superior movement no doubt.

Tell me, why would Rolex make a Tudor with the same build quality as a Rolex and sell it for less than half the price.. They wouldn’t, and they don’t. The Tudor is a decent watch for the money. However, denying the fact that it is of lower build quality than Rolex is just ridiculous. Tudor was created for a reason.
