Does the bracelet on the BB54 fit the BB58?

[Colorado_kid]

Forgive me if this has been covered. My BB58 bracelet is pretty jacked up and hoping to order a new one. Preferably with the newer clasp. Thanks.

I think the BB54 is 19mm whereas the 58 is 20mm.

FYI, the newer Tudor Ranger bracelet with the T-Fit adjustable clasp fits the BB58 perfectly…several threads on this forum and other forums with photos as well. Price is roughly $850 for the bracelet.

Yes!

3:53-4:42 - Can you change the bracelets?

The Ranger bracelet is compatible and comes with T-fit.

The Hodinkee hands-on review says it's 20mm: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...e-a-millimeter.

Interesting...someone who owns both the 54 and 58 will try to see if they are compatible.

I, myself, would be curious to know if the rubber strap from the 54 fits perfectly on the 58 as well!

I'd actually been curious about Tudor bracelet interchangeability myself (no dog in this fight, as I don't own any at this point). However was thinking about how great some of them would look if swapped.

If the BB54 is in fact 20mm...

Ranger bracelet or hybrid leather/rubber strap. Like the rivets, but not the "ladder" look of the links (vs taper of Ranger bracelet). That strap also looks like a great match for the 54.

On the other hand, if the BB54 is only 19mm...

I'd love to see its rubber strap on the new BB36 anthracite dial, or even the BB36 S&G black dial (assuming clasps interchangeable).

It fits but the sides are brushed and it is breaking the design language of 58. At this point they should just start selling tfit alone.

You are correct regarding the brushed sides of the links on the Ranger bracelet.

For me, it is a winner when I can get a non-faux riveted oyster bracelet with the T-fit clasp….the brushed sides of the links are an insignificant inconvenience, but for the purist, I understand that may be an issue!

In addition, all the photos and videos I have seen, the brushed sides haven’t even been anything catching my eye and standing out…the combination looks simply amazing to me!

No, it isn't. Submariners until the modern era had chamfers and regular Oyster bracelets.

Is the CLASP of the BB54 T-FIT compatible with the BB58? If so, does Tudor sell the BB54 clasp by itself so folks can swap it into the BB58?

Or does Tudor build in slight variations of metal hue, variations in polishing or variations in center bracelet links to ensure incompatibility across their bracelet lines to recoup maximum profit by forcing the consumer to buy a complete new bracelet in order to get on the fly T-fit adjustability?

I saw a YouTube video that said if you order the 54 bracelet, and swap in the 58 end links, it fits perfectly. There was no mention of brushed or polished look not matching up.
