Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight...on a ladies wrist?

[buddy13]

While looking for a Black Bay 36 for my wife, I am really beginning to like the black dialed Black Bay Fifty-Eight with its gilt markers and hands.

Would you think it would look good on a woman's wrist :)?

Subjective- but I think it looks great

Would look awesome

Women are rocking subs like a man -a larger watch us en vogue

A larger watch looks great on a womans wrist - actually making the wrist look slimmer and more feminine. Its for this very reason I always thing men should be careful when choosing a big watch - if their wrist isnt big enough to carry it off then it can, and usually does, make their wrist look slimmer and more feminine.
Of course each to their own.

Will probably look fine.

As per the previous post.

The dafter look is an oversize watch on a male wrist.

Right, girlfriend very confused why I’ve just put my BB58 on her wrist and taken a pic, hope she’s not expecting us to have a matching pair come Christmas..

She has tiny wrists and I think looks fine!

It looks great IMO!
I got my wife (girlfriend back then) to get the vintage watch bug, she now only wears vintage men's pieces:
A gold plated Breitling Top Time (36mm),
a 90's steel Tag Heuer S/EL with white dial (also 36mm, although wears smaller due to the thick bezel/small dial),
and a Zenith rose gold plated dress watch with a lovely metallic dark grey dial (also 36mm)
Most of these are considered small-ish by men these days, so there's an ocean of bargains out there.
No divers yet, unless you count the S/EL, but I'm sure she'd love the Black Bay.

My wife loves her 58, it looks great. Will get a picture on later

Hopefully this will give you an idea. I bought it on leather, but my wife found the clasp digs into her wrist so we bought another strap with traditional buckle and clasp and she was much happier.

Excellent point. No doubt that's been a factor as to why there's never been much of a fashion for men to wear bangles, especially wide ones, around the wrist whereas, on women, they work well. All subjective of course but, imo, a Deepsea dangling off a dainty female wrist looks far better than when it's swamping a male one.

And now, in the hope that the reverse logic applies, I'm off to source myself a 28mm ladies Datejust.

I’ve seen hundreds of photos on this forum of far more oversized looking watches on male wrists tbh. That actually looks like a good size on her. I’m not surprised really as the 58 is comparatively dainty - both in terms of diameter and thickness. My wife has worn a men’s Tag Aquaracer for years, with every link possible removed from the bracelet and it looks fine, and her wrists are tiny. I think the thickness of the watch makes much more of a difference than it’s generally realised. I have to say a lot of the photos on this forum - particularly of some of the latest g shocks where you can see a few inches of extra strap waving about - look far more incongruous than a woman wearing a mans size dive watch.

Same. She has liberated my burgundy bezel smiley.

Looks very nice to me! Thanks for the photo :)

To make matters more confusing to me, yesterday she saw a Longines Pilot watch (which popped up as a commercial) and she really like the look of it.

Very much so.
