Tudor bracelet bb58 vs chrono or 41

I know there have been many complaints about sizing the BB58 on a bracelet due to lack of micro adjust positions and no on the fly capability.

Am I missing something? Why don’t I hear the same complaints about the full size black bays or the chronos? Does the watch size change the bracelet fitment factor?

I’ve had a ‘58 but not on a bracelet.

It’s the same style bracelet on the 41mm Black Bay (22 vs 20mm width) thus have the same issue.

It’s only an issue for people who like the bracelet to fit flush (not tight and not loose)

If you have larger wrists (> 7) or if you have wider flat forearm build, you shouldn’t have a problem with either.

For me, the watch is so light, relatively, that wearing it a touch loose doesn’t make it flip flop around on the wrist and therefore gives enough room when it’s more humid

Thanks for some of the feedback. Was just wondering why nobody mentions the bracelet except on the ‘58. I do agree about the weight it’s so minimal so won’t bounce around.

Anyone have a ‘58 on rubber?

BB41 owners tend to have larger wrists than BB58 owners would be my guess. Seems like smaller wrists have more issues with the bracelet and clasp.

I got my BB58 Blue on the leather strap and have no issues with sizing but I couldn’t get the right fit on the bracelet of my BB Chrono Panda. I had to change the bracelet to a rubber strap for the summer.

6.75 is my wrist and it changes a lot during the day even more when it’s hot so I don’t get the best fit :(

I have a bb58 and had a 41, i feel like the bracelet fit for me is better on the 58. My wrist is around 6.75 and I’m on the last micro adjust and have 11 links.

Every wrist is different. Every watch will have those with a complaint. I have seen same comfort issues with subC and it has micro adjustments. 58 is very comfortable IMO. As a diver it should have an extension but it does have the micros (not defending it, but they are there).

What rubber strap did you go with for the Panda chrono? Everest?

I got a Vanguard. I have it now on both my
58 and the Chrono and I love them.
