    Just collected my BB58 blue.

    Personally I love it and it’s what I wanted the Pelagos to be. I love the clean modern aesthetic. I love the fact it is blue and white with no brown minute running track. I love the case size for my 7 inch wrist. If you don’t like blue you won’t like it but I am partial to blue watches. The blue is quite different from the bbb and GMT which was a nice surprise too.

    As with all things it’s a lot nice in person than in pictures.

    Very nice! If I didn't already have the black one I'd be getting this.

    That’s a very attractive watch at the price. Well done.

    That really is a very-nicely judged design, right down to the smallest details. Like it a lot

    Lovely! I hesitated outside Burrells door in Winchester but didn't go in. It's inevitable though!

    Very nice! The colour scheme made quite a big difference in terms of the cleanliness of the design.
    If I didn't already have a Pelagos I would've gone for that Blue BB.

    Interesting, that looks good. Was the launch quite out of the blue (sorry)(but genuine question)?

    Reminds me quite a lot of a less blingy seamaster, probably the shade, which I definitely mean as a compliment.

    Picked one up this morning too. More pictures on the “No Tudor price increase...” thread if anyone’s interested

    Very nice! I much prefer the new blue to both the old 58 and the GMT.

    Is the dial a similar colour of blue to the blue of the Black Bay 41? Really like the look of this but already own the former.

    Hopefully this small clip will address some question. I am no YouTuber so don’t expect a quality clip!

    That looks great. Way better than I expected tbh. Thanks for sharing the video.

    If I didn’t already have the black, I’d be in the queue for one now. Having said that, I’m still tempted as it really is very appealing.

    Same as the original 58. I have a 7 inch wrist and it’s barely noticeable. It’s very comfy indeed.

    I wasn’t interested. At all. Now I learn the blue is different and my interest is piqued again

    Thank you for the youtube video. Shows it very well.

    Tough choice between the original and the blue when seeing them side by side...I think I will go with the blue!

    I just had a call from Burrells in Winchester, I resisted going in this morning when I walked past but had cracked by this afternoon. They say they had two in, both of which were collected this morning. Tudor say they'll have two per month. I was the 12th person to enquire. They want the full £2,750 or so in advance. Er, what? A few days after opening after lockdown, small chain of three jewellers and they want my £2,750 in advance? Is this how it normally works? I'll just wait until everyone's calmed down and buy one in a year or two. I'm not interested in messing around, paying in advance to wait for a watch. As much as I want one...

    I'm happy with my BB58 black. I've got my Seamaster 300m which I think does a better job of the blue dial blue bezel arrangement.

    Is there a pic beside the normal size black bay blue to see the colour comparison of the two blues

    Having seen the videos the blue has it for me. Thought the black would but the blue looks cleaner and fresher.
    May have to try one on.

    Congrats on the purchase. This video really shows it in a new light for me. Very nice, even though I still prefer the original 58.

    That’s great to hear - was talking about it with a few friends over lunch today looking at the site.

    Do you think you’ll trial out with a NATO?



    Thanks

    I think it's great that those interested can actually get one. The Tudor people need to have a word with the Rolex guys upstairs and tell them how a new release should be handled.

    I passed on the gilt BB58 despite the perfect (for me) proportions as I'm not a fan of gold. This one I really like a lot. Congrats!

    Really liking this one, different to the 41mm and GMT.
    I liked the older 58 however found the columella scheme a bit to much. Luckily wife likes it:)

    It looks incredible on the soft strap. Sorely tempted to move my IWC Portuguese to make room for one

    Some great shots of the newcomer here. Not sure I can really buy two blue dials in a week though.

    I’m intrigued by the synthetic strap. Not seen a decent pic of it though. If someone buys my breitling SOH I might pick up one of these

    Agreed, despite not being a fan of Tudor in general, this really hits the spot for me to the point that my ambivalence (at best) for the hand set seems to be a non issue.

    Congrats to the OP.

    Does anyone know if these will be readily available or are they a limited release?
