I would go for the ceramic as great value for money..
The BBB Bucherer Blue nato has issues and becomes loose very fast and I think the blk ceramic is a perfect piece ..
Iam not a fan of patina but living in a coastal city the dark shade is not impressive which evolves within days ..
I had purchased two . One to wear and one to keep and give my son but I ended up giving to a friend and my son chose the ceramic metas version ..
Seeking Tudor v. Tudor preferences
Dear Tudor aficionados, I had the chance to see and try on the Tudor BB Bucherer Bronze (blue dial/bronze case) boutique edition today. It was my first time trying on a Tudor, ever. Not surprisingly, it wore very nicely, even though I expected it would we...
Hands down, this is THE choice!
I purposely left this one out because I expect it would win by a landslide And I have indeed requested it, but it’s hard to get. Not sure if it’s a LE or just a matter of patience. Still, it says a lot that you sold your Bronze in favor of this one…and th...
This is a striking combo.
The more you guys post the Ceramic version, the more my original question becomes irrelevant I think we may already be there

Both bronze and silver case will develop patina. Not the same size, too, as you well know, and definitely not the same character. Between these 2, I would go for the Silver. Because of the size and the density of the silver.
It would have been perfect with a solid case back, though... Rather than this non sense see through case back. Best, Nicolas
I had a Tudor GMT in the past but it looked a bit big and bulky on my wrist tbh
When I purchased my first BB58 it was a perfect fit . Like you said its all about personal preference. Imho the BB58 ticks all my boxes ...
Easy for me.
Having a few Tudors of which the BB58 925 is the newest addition I’d defiantly go for the silver from over the bronze. It’s just my eyes that do all the work for me and for me at least the silver is infinitely more attractive. Not really a fan of the colo...
Very persuasive silver pics 🤩
I agree with you that aesthetically the silver speaks to me more strongly. The bronze is cool, but I guess i’m more intrigued by it, as opposed to impressively connected/sold on it. Plus, the patina that would change its look will also change my attitude ...
I picked the silver
Passed on many chances to get the Bucherer Blue at an absolutely good price. I already have the steel 41mm version, which is too similar to the bucherer in size. In the end, fate brought the silver to me. ...
Really like this one a lot 👌🏼
I’m passing on the bronze, and will see what comes in future. Thanks for your input!
Between the two models, I would vote silver.
I saw the recommendation further up the line about the Black Bay ceramic. I don't post mine too frequently, but let me just say it has had a great impact on my small collection. It is now my most worn black watch. It is as accurate as my Glashutte Chronom...
Strong points, Michael, thank you 🙏🏼
I have noted previously that you are also in the BB ceramic camp, and there’s no question about that one. But what strikes me about it being your most worn black is that you also have the awesome ceramic GP skeleton, which is a huge favorite of mine. It’s...
The bronze is piece is merely a Instagram diver, and not a real diver. Rolex/Tudor knows this, but doesn't care. Hubris runs deep with this watch/company (beware the rotting bezel!)
Anyone attending a 10th grade chemistry class can tell you the perils of putting an aluminum bezel insert, against a bronze case. Rolex and Tudor must not have had anyone that passed the 10th grade on the design team, or their complete lack of apathy notw...
:))) Your points are very well taken, and appreciated!
I cannot disagree with your characterization as it being an IG watch, because it is such presentations that initially influence me. To be honest, in person it was also nice, but I believe I expected a different experience when trying it on. AND the patina...
Honestly, I wouldn't get either of them
Frankly, I find those "novelty" alloys little more than a gimmick. Be it bronze or silver, these are vastly inferior alloys to stainless steel, or even ceramic, for watch making. On the bronze, besides the oxidation, my concern would be the well reported ...
Agreed on all counts 👍🏼
At this point, accounting for everyone’s opinion and experiences, neither of these options are for me. Thanks 🙏🏼
