Love the idea that they stocked the stores prior to the release. So much better than seeing at Basel and waiting 6-9 months to maybe get to see one in the flesh. It definitely helped with this model.

Many said this about the original 58... prices are similar to launch and even through pandemic they grew slightly in value. I think the blue is currently more desirable as it is a bit more modern. I think the OG58 will be more desirable down the road as it actually has relevance with its name, design, etc. whereas the blue really makes little to no sense with rivets and name. Regardless, the blue will likely not drop in the near future. No discounts to be expected and greys to hover around a small markup from MSRP. Just my opinion. Hate posting these comments as I could very well be eating my words at some point! |

It's hyped because it's the only watch we've seen from Rolex this year, period.
Yes it's not bad looking but I'm prepared to bet anything that had Rolex announced new Rolex models, people wouldn't bat an eyelid on this blue BB58. It would have been just a similar Tudor with a different dial. This year people are desperate for something new. I like it, don't get me wrong. |

Yes and no. You don't want a Tudor for.the same reason you want a Rolex. That's why marketing is different.

I can get BB58 within a week from my AD. Waiting list and premium for BB58 is ludicrous |

Could be! Tudor and Rolex showed this before with their dueling GMT releases so maybe it's time for Rolex to match with their own version.

Ive said it before and I'll say it again, Rolex is without a doubt one of the greatest marketers in history. Tudor is a younger brand but they certainly understand social media.

The marketing genius of Rolex/Tudor can be attributed to one man, Hans Wilsdorf. He along with Davis gave birth to Rolex, later Tudor. Wilsdorf was not a watchmaker, but a true marketing genius. He laid the foundation of the concept for the selling of Rolex and continued to direct the marketing until his death.

Not too long now and the new Comex inspired Rolex Submariner will appear, August I reckon.

Rolex NEW releases coming in September - will do exactly as described - launch on the same day as media release. Tudor is the test bed for Rolex.
