So I ordered a Tudor Black Bay 58 in Black.

BLACK BAY FIFTY-EIGHT
Deal was done and today I got this!

BLACK BAY
It's a more expensive watch by a few quid (i paid the same price) and as we have said already this week, they look very damn similar, but it's not what I ordered!

So you got sent the 41mm BB black in error, guess it depends on which size you prefer as to whether you return it - I think the 41 is a better, sportier size for a diver, it’s only the thickness that puts me off, if Tudor resolved this by slimming down the movement like they have for the 58 then I personally would prefer this over the 58.
Haha they are pretty similar looking, but still unbelievable that they have sent you the wrong watch. Doesn’t matter how similar it is, it’s still not what you ordered! Where did you buy it?

Retailer in Windsor, they had both units in stock and I chose the Fifty Eight due to it's rarity/investment value.Originally Posted by enndriz
Very bad.
Assuming you have spoke to them, what have they to say on the matter?
Cheers,

Emailed them as the stores are currently closed. Why didn't they send me a Daytona :)
As long as they are still making them in fairly large quantities I wouldn’t hold out too much hope on the rarity/investment angle with either of them. Go with the better size would be my advice

Update! She's driving over with my watch to collect this rogue watch this afternoon!
How about that for service, she was sooooo embarrassed at the cock up
I love the 58s and am contemplating adding one to the collection but rare investment piece they aren't.
Shame they messed up in the first place but excellent service to correct their mistake👍
Excellent. Ask her to hang around for 10 mins while you try them both on to see which you prefer! Least they are sorting quickly for you

Is this the same outfit that sold the worn Tudor chrono as brand spankers (albeit now happily resolved)?
I'm not sure investment value should come into the equation with a Tudor Black Bay...the supply isn't restricted enough to have much of an effect. Definitely get the size that you prefer.
Exactly the same guys! She was mortified :D
Mind you it did mean i got a few quid off the Fastrider and a few quid off the Black Bay.
My thoughts are that everyone makes mistakes and it's how you fix it that is the defining factor. They have done well, despite the initial balls up.
to be fair Hugh, your transaction with me was the best i've ever had with anyone so you have set the bar very high :)
I hope you actually like wearing the watch, because it's neither rare nor an investment. Glad they are sorting their error for you though.
Uhm, both watches in question are black.
Thats poor to be fair.
I prefer my BB (black) over a 58; i know im in the minority here but i like the size and less gold bits; both beauties and modern classics though.
That's very kind of you indeed!
Talk about service, good and bad! I've had the 41 and found it too slab sided. 58, looks great and I personally love the rose gold details.
I have a 41 steel bezel and love it. Slabby for sure but feels nice.
Yes, it's how people fix mistakes that make the difference. I always think we should be generous to people when they do their best to put things right.
Nice watch btw, even though I'm not a fan of Tudor.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
