Incoming TUDOR Black Bay 54 - Nostalgic Piece

People of Grandfather generation wears dress watch of 34mm. So at 37mm such dive Watch in 1954 would had been considered "big"

The dial wordings/markers are shiny gold color, much brighter and refined than the ones used in BB 58.

Well done TUDOR !

i was tempted by this. i dont mind a smaller watch. my daily is the explorer 36.

but i am 'sure' the 58 is going to get a refresh next year. so i am holding out to see that firstl

I love the 54’s vintage good looks, but the vintage size doesn’t love my 7.75” wrists unfortunately.

Congrats OP, I just wish it looked more proportional on my own wrist!

Congrats! I prefer the bb58 still. The red in the bezel and size are better in my opinion. Wish it had the adjustable clasp though

Very nice, enjoy it! I like it! I´d buy one if my old Submariner was ever lost, stolen or somehow destroyed.

I loved it in pics. Did not love it on my wrist. Ended up with the Pelagos 39.

Glad you are able to like the 54 the way I wanted to. Congrats!!!
