·A black bay 54 or a pelagos 39 is a good puchase. In spain there is a lot of postureo with the submariners.
Anyone else interested in the Tudor BB 54 ?

·Picked up the 54 at my AD yesterday and had it on the wrist since.
Lovely watch with very slim profile.
T fit clasp fantastic and easy-adjust has been useful given the current wee heatwave in Scotland.
Previously have owned a black bay and Tudor GMT but moved them on as felt they wore thick on the wrist.
The 54 has a vintage feel about it yet still feeling modern. Recommended.
Looks perfect - what's your wrist size, if I might ask?

Looks great! I took a look earlier and thought it felt a bit small - but I went to the AD wearing a whopper of watch ( Panerai Luminor ) - but I want to give it a second chance after I'd worn a smaller watch for the day. It seems to take me several hours to adjust when I swap watches. I might even wear my Doxa 300T - it has a similarly sized dial face.

·I've seen a couple of these in the wild and they look great. I really think Tudor nailed this model and the Pro. They have a really great vintage charm to them.

·I was able to try it on and yeah, I'm going to have go and get one, despite already owning the BB58 (M79030N).
Initially I thought I'd miss the differences, especially the red marker.. and to a certain extent I do. However, the piece holds its own in design and visually wears bigger than the size indicates for those concerned. I think Tudor got the proportions just right that makes it still bold.
Ultimately, it feels better on my 5.75" wrist and another bonus, a watch my wife would be ok with sharing. Here it is pictured for those interested,

··Burt Macklin, FBIIf anyone has missed it, Greg at True Patina on Instagram has modified his BB54 with a big crown and ultimately gold plated hands.

The hands make such a difference — I still don't understand who thought it would be a good idea to pair snowflake hands on a rounded index dial, and proceed to make that the main theme of the modern lineup...

·I’ve been wanting to put Mercedes hands on a BB36 for a while. Also to put a chamfer on the bottom edges.

That looks awesome. It's good thing my wrists are too big. Otherwise I'd be very tempted to do this.

·Why they don’t just reissue this one I don’t know .
That's an absolutely beautiful watch.
However, I really don't mind the snow flake hand as the hour hand. It looks just fine to me. My only Tudor is a GMT - and it looks great from my perspective. I like the changes they made to the BB54 - including the polka dot second hand.

·This is the first time I've heard of the Black Bay One. I found the picture below on the Tudor website – it definitely confirms my suspicion that the Black Bay 58, and probably most of the Black Bay line, would look much better without the snowflake handset.

·Picked up the new uncle Seiko jubilee for the BB 54
Wears well and great fit! 😀
Picked the no clasp option so I could use the stock T-fit tudor clasp.
Recommended!
