I sold my BB ETA due to virtually no wrist time. I thought it would get more, but it has been seating in the safe for almost a year.
Looking forward to something new in 2020. Hopefully, they can come up with something that is going to cut my attention.
what were you wearing in its place?

I'd like to see an updated North Flag, perhaps in a slimmer case with a ceramic bezel rather than bezel-wrap (sheath?) or whatever it is now. It was my intro to higher-end sports watches and remains a favourite for its legibility and throwback toolishness, but could use a refresh.

Other BB/BB58 variants may in play -- they're going to be working hard to recapture some of the mojo lost with last year's damp squib, I suspect.

A Bronze case with blue dial/bezel BB58 would be exciting, think i would have to get one of those

Anything BB with a date option would be a welcomed addition by me

People thought that last year too. And there weren't any. Doesn't mean there won't be this year, but the point is it's all just guesswork really.

i thought it was really interesting last year tudor didn't "feed the beast" with new variants of the bb58 and instead went with that bizarre P01

they obviously have a completely different calculus than tudor fans.. .so who knows indeed

A slimmer, 38-40mm Pelagos, using the BB58 movement would be fantastic.

Might as well go the whole hog and ask for a Titanium bb58 with gmt hand!

I was just about to pick up a Tudor Chrono -- the guy I spoke to at the AD suggested that Tudor's takeover of "the Brietling spot" suggested that they were preparing to go big at Basel this year (and not P01 big). No idea what his info is worth but would be great to see a few Tudor home runs this year, beyond some new BB colourways.

Meh exactly. Maybe something will get leaked a day early like last year. Otherwise no. Rolex is always dead silent.

Love the BB58 case size and thinness compared to the other BBS. Hoping to see some more colours ! Tudor should milk more $ out of the BB58 line!

I'd love (but have no illusions that they would ever make) a BB58 or similar with the rose logo. Would tide me over for the MK1 dial Ref 7928 that I can't afford at all

While I'd love to see more variants in the BB58 line, I'd really like to see the BB58 freely available to buy. I have a feeling Tudor wanted to create a "halo" model that was hard to get to generate exclusivity. I'm sure they could have decreased production of the regular BB to satisfy demand buy have deliberately restricted supply.

My understanding was that a lot of people were only waiting a few weeks to get their hands on one. Is that not the case?

I may not be fully informed, since there are no Tudor dealers in my State (Tasmania, Australia) but the last couple of times I was interstate no one had any stock. People are still popping up on the sale forums asking for a premium over RRP so I assumed a shortage was still the case in Australia.

I am looking forward to seeing a Pelagos update. I think this model could use less dial text and a thinner case.
I would also be very interested in a BB58 GMT!

It's possible that's the case depending on the country. I was reading reports of people getting them a few weeks after orders. It seemed as though AD's couldn't get enough stock for on-hand but could put in an order and get one in a short time frame. I'm hoping that's the case, since I expect to be buying one in a few months, though now I may wait out Basel.

A BB58 cased GMT or smaller Pelagos would be amazing.

I was surprised to get mine yesterday, from AD in UK, after only 4 weeks since ordering. Was expecting at least 3 months. Mind you it was the only one they had got in this year they said.
