Size matters… but sometimes, less is just more refined
A few years ago, I reviewed the Black Bay 58 and called it the best dimensionally balanced and most comfortable watch in it's price range. Lately, though, my wrist has been hijacked by it's smaller sibling — the Black Bay 54. At just 2mm smaller and comin...
Great shot
I love the way you wear your Tudors. You wear them with style. Best Gatsby
Great to see them side by side
... and you do wear them well. I have the 58 and love it, but agree that the smaller and trimmer 54 would be more comfortable over a full day. It's funny, I often think about the pre-cell phone days, when wearing a watch was essential. One can see how 34-...

As I get older I find myself drawn to smaller and thiner watches. The thing is, the diameter from 58 to 54 is not that noticable. But the thickness and heft is
Admittedly....
As I've said here many times, I have next to no interest in either Rolex or Tudor, but you wear yours tremendously well, and your wristshots are frequently spectacularly good! 🍻
Beautiful watches, beautiful photo
And I agree, the BB58 and BB 54 both are excellent choices
Great pic.
Interesting to see them side by side. Had the 58 a while back, but you make me want to take a look at the 54. Enjoy!
Both great watches
and very subtile differences between them. But for the money, huge bang for the buck. Future proof design
Great that one as well
Did a 2 week review when they launched it, loved every minute wearing one
Well well - „comfort“ is over valued! 😬
Why would Men wear suits und Ladies dresses? Certainly not because of comfort! 😇😅 Personally I like the 54 very much, but for me it takes too much Vintage clues! The 58 is more modern - despite the vintage clues. But I admit, the 54 is more comfortable th...
Love them both
But for me, 58 has a little too much gilt details on the bezel. But that's just personal preference
“the Black Bay 58 and called it the best dimensionally balanced and most comfortable watch in it's price range…”
100% with you here my friend! Great shot! As I’ve stated before, the more I see the BB54, the more interesting it becomes to me. BB58 “blues brother” says hi: ...
Often, finding the right strap is everything…
I love the one the ‘54 is on. With the bracelet or the black rubber strap, the gilt is “all alone.” The fabric strap you’ve chosen appears to “bring the gilt together” (I can’t articulate it any better) perfectly. Who makes it, and what model/color is it?...
Hi Mark
It's actually one of my own branded watch straps (we do make hand made leather straps as well). You can check it here: shop.portalsatova.com
