Nice although interesting they played down the blue in the official photography compared to the leaks.

The need to lighten up the photos.

I personally really like it

Wish they had given it crown guards to give it some much needed wrist presence though.

Tried on the Black version a few months back and it looked puny, even on my small, 6"+ wrist.

39mm - far too small for me and most other men.

The fact that it does not have a crown guard is what makes it look distinctive. If you want a crown guard by a Rolex.

Strange mix of modern dial colors with vintage-style fake rivet bracelet, which overall lacks the charm of the original. They got it right with the first one, IMHO.

Modern Tudor’s are always a near miss.

The BB58 bracelet is a disgrace to the brand.

It's pretty cool. Could have been better shade of blue, in my opinion though.

Blue dial watches rarely photograph well Indoors especially in ADs or from quick snaps

Get it under the sun and this will change into a much more vibrant blue. A touch closer to pastel than the Pelagos

And if I also want chaffered lugs WITH crown guards?

Lighten up dude, I have my fair share of Rolex and Tudor in my small collection and other than the color, this new 58 doesn't speak to me.

Its a YES from me - as close as Rolex will allow Tudor to get to the original Submariner.

A steal at Ł2760 GBP

Exactly. It's pretty much the same dimensions as a 5 digit sub.

I'm a 6ft tall guy with athletic build and 7" flat wrist and it fits me fine. There was some research done a while ago that the average wrist size is smaller that 7 inches (6.7 I believe) and so this will in fact fit most men.

“Far too small” at 39 - what a funny comment.

Stick with 44 and 48 mm Breitling and Panerai then?

Looks great but at the rate I churn watches buying tudors is always a mistake. For the impatient...cost of ownership for Tudor is higher than Rolex lol

The 58 is too small for my 7.5-7.75 inch wrist. I do own the BB Blue in 41 mm and like the watch. I was hoping for an update to the Heritage Chrono Monte Carlo with an updated in-house movement and dial modification. If we are playing with just colors then a Pelagos green would have been better for me.

Good looking indeed. I much prefer it without all the gilt.

I doubt I will be in the market but I think it will be a winner for Tudor.

Rivets kill it for me. I don’t understand why they feel they are necessary? There’s no functional purpose to them

I absolutely love it, and considering picking one up possibly. Just need to see more actual photos of it.

Agreed. The fake rivets is the main thing putting me off getting one. That and maybe the crown sleeve. It sticks out too much, but I can live with that. The rivets though, I cant.

Yeah why do they have that space in between the crown and case? Didnt know it was called the crown sleeve, is very annoying.
