Tudor BB54 fit
Ladies and gentlemen,
I asked my AD to bring me one of the BB54 and expect to pick it up in the next few weeks. However, I watched a video about the T clasp showing that it is shorter than one link hence not giving you enough flexibility getting the right fit. I am honestly concerned now. Getting a good fit was a big part of the decision to try a Tudor again. I had a BB58 in the past and the clasp was somewhat not enough for me coming from Rolex clasps. Anyone has something to comment or mention about it? https://youtu.be/tsn8ycX8uP4 |

The T-Fit clasp has the same range for adjustment as the T-Fit of the Ranger and that's why I added a half-link from Uncle Straps, which provided the correct space I needed to achieve the optimal range:
https://unclestraps.com/collections/...stock-bracelet I also have one for the BB58's bracelet: https://unclestraps.com/collections/...stock-bracelet When I get my BB54 I will check, if the problem persis or if I will get lucky because of the different case size, otherwise I hope that the half-link for the BB58 fits. I wouldn't care much about the different tonality of the steel, which is reported as the half-link is positioned at the underside of my wrist. Btw, Steel Reef offers extension links for Tudor as a different option: https://steel-reef.com/collections/extension-links We will surely see a dedicated, 3rd party half-link offered soon, hopefully matching the tone of the steel. |

I find it hard to swallow, the fact that you need a 3rd party solution or to compromise like that. Feels weird |

I’ve done this on my 54. Initially it was too tight so I added in a link.
The t-fit gives about 85% of the width of 1 link. |
