Thoughts on this Tudor?

[ppierce]

Don't see it get hyped much but i really like the way this looks.

Looks sharp enough. I don't care for the exposed rivet-type things on the bracelet, though.

I have the original ETA Black Bay (79220) in blue. It’s the watch that brought me out of watch collecting retirement and 6 years later that feeling hasn’t diminished despite its flaws.

I would wait for this blue colorway to be added to the refreshed METAS Black Bay (79141) instead of buying the outgoing model (79230).

Alternatively, I am obliged to endorse the original ETA variant as an option if you insist on the older model Black Bay.

I share this watch and experience. If you want something special get a BB with an ETA, a smiley face and a rose dial.

I love the look of the Black Bay but the older versions were too thick sided IMO. The new 41 looks a lot better and possibly my next purchase. Although it’ll be the burgundy bezel for me

[~Ocho1~]

Looks like most other Black Bays....which is nice!

[DJ2020]

Great looking watch. I really like the "soft" shade and tone of the watch. I would have one if they could make it with a date. On the other hand, I may get another anyway!

I like it. I got the BB 58 Blue when it came out and I really love it, but on my 7” wrist, it looks small when I’m used to wearing large dive watches like the SD43. If you like it, go for it.

[Subshark1861]

I can't get past the snowflake hands and bracelet rivets.

I love the BB58, but those two things stop me from buying.

Good to have when you can't wear something nice. Definitely buy this second hand

When a multi thousand dollar Swiss made certified chronometer is described as good to have when you can't wear something nice, consider the shark jumped.

Nice doesn't always mean most expensive.

[Benjack]

Very nice Tudor, It's something I can buy.

[Knooger]

I've been eyeing this one, but I want to get an Explorer 40 first.

[PandaLover]

Great looking watch

I’m waiting for them to launch this in blue, then I’m all over it.

[Omarion07]

Wait till April when Tudor announces the new METAS version of this watch. I have the new BB burgundy and it wears so much better than the previous version.

Good looking watch from a solid manufacturer. And attainable!

[1William]

I own and like the blue.

[jonathan.grant]

Love Tudor. I want a ceramic Black Bay in the 39mm on jubilee to come out!

[Northstar Straps]

Black bay 58 is a great watch although I prefer the black dial.

Big fan of the aesthetic, wish it was in the BB58 or P39 package though.

[monsieur_z]

It's a big watch, but I like it. One key difference compared to the black and burgundy bezel variants, is the white lume and silver indices, which makes it look less "vintage".

I prefer the Pelagos 39. Better proportions for my wrist.

[samson66]

This year I expect it to get the same treatment as the burgundy got last year with a slimmed down case and jubilee bracelet. That's the one to get IMO.

[worldofoyster]

one of the best looking BBs.

[slus]

I would wait for the new model BB41 with the T Fit clasp to be released in the colorway you want. It's gonna happen eventually.

Alternatively, buy a BB58 and order a Ranger bracelet with no rivets and T-Fit clasp from the AD at the same time, or an older ETA Black Bay

[JoseR]

Not really a diver fan, but I like this Tudor. I really like the BB58 Blue, but those rivets on the bracelet, I don't really care for.

[Watcheroo]

All the Black Bays are pretty great watches overall.

[StellarisCollection]

It's a great time piece with a really nice color palette.
