BB54 the best modern Tudor for a small wrist?
16cm wrist to be precise. Let the photos speak.

Looks great!
The other competitor from contemporary Tudor for small wrists would be the Black Bay 36. Especially in blue |

Looks fantastic, congratulations! Did you also consider the Pelagos 39 and if so, why did you go for the 54?

Great looking watch. I have a 7.5-7.75 inch wrist and typically shy away from smaller watches for proportions and looks but not with this one. I have tried it on several times at my AD and will probably give it a try at some point. Just for the fun of it.

Nice photos, and it looks great on you!! I think a P39 would also work well on your wrist.

I really like that watch. And I wear and really like small watches. My grandfathers Bulova Director in about 33mm. I think I’d have to have one on for a week or so to see if it’s for me. The BB58 is pretty much my sweet spot 18cm wrist. Anyone have a side by side with a 37mm YM? Looks great on you.

Thanks! I had considered Pelagos 39 before BB54 was announced. But sth didn’t click with it. Probably the diameter (with my 16cm wrist I’m leaning more to smaller sizes), thickness but first of all the brushed bezel. So instead I paired my BB54 with SJE093 (or actually in the other sequence). Both make a great pair of competitors. bibbi |

Great watches and pictures.
Could you please post a photo of the underside of your wrist with the BB 54 so we can see how the clasp sits? |

I would agree, though I've learned it works quite well on larger wrists, too because...
1. My wrist is 7in and I'm a big fan of the fit, and... 2. I still had to have three links removed, meaning Tudor wanted this to be accessible to many wrist sizes. I would agree with the above that the "dressier" alternative is the BB36, which is also a fantastic watch. Personally I like the blue dial variant better. The Royal 34 is actually quite nice as well, but it lacks the latest Tudor MT movement. There also seem to be plenty of dealers out there who still have the old BB32 (replaced by the current BB31) and this watch looks far less "dainty" than its replacement. |

Picked mine up Today!!
Having slimmer wrists the 54 at 37mm, shallow height is a perfect fit and the t-fit clasp is genius. Sent from my LE2113 using Tapatalk |

These are all great shots. I have a wrist a bit under 6.5in, so these are very appealing.

I would go one further and say it’s the best modern Tudor, regardless of wrist size.

Agree the BB54, is the best Tudor (diver) by default because it's the smallest, especially that sweet slim mid case. I have 16.25cm wrists, I own the BB54, P39 and PFXD MN, and to be honest, they all wear great. Obviously the FX is not as suitable for to wear wtih dress shirts but with sleeves rolled up still looks great. |

My wrist is slightly larger maybe 16.75cm. I felt it was a tad small so moved it. I do have that same seiko and prefer that size. It’s a bit larger/thicker. The dial blows it away too in the grey. The rubber strap is a joke though, the seiko begs for aftermarket.

I bought the watch originally on the Rubber strap with T-fit, but the clasp is ever so slightly different on the rubber than if it came with the Tudor bracelet with the faux rivets, so the T-fit clasp doesn't work with the Uncle Straps Jubilee!

It looks great on your wrist. One of the most beautiful divers, I tried it on twice and unfortunately it is too small for me. Vintage look!
