Thank you for this review!

I agree on the transparent case back. Not necessary and you get more silver without. Plus it would have been an opportunity for Tudor to have the back engraved in some way. Still, this is such a good watch and intrigued to see how the metal performs in the long term. Sterling silver in cutlery and other decorative forms is a pain to have to polish.

Hands on review of the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925

By: foversta : April 19th, 2021-13:10

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight quickly became one of Tudor's flagship models. Its contained size, the neo-retro vibe, the Submariner Big Crown 7924 inspiration, all contributed to the watch's undeniable charm and immediate success with both watch enthusiasts a...

Great review, I concur on all points the miss on the mass is at odds with what is otherwise a very aesthetically pleasing watch.

Thanks a lot for your comments ! Glad you enjoyed the review.

Thank you!

By: kkochheiser : April 19th, 2021-13:34

I have yet to see this version, although I have the blue version. I especially agree regarding the transparent case back. Just not enough visual interest there despite the functional virtues of the movement. Beautiful colors though, can’t wait to see one ...

Thanks Kent, it will be interesting to know your feelings

By: foversta : April 19th, 2021-13:37

I agree on all of your points. I still have to see it in the real life, but I was charmed and intrigued by this watch, this year, which is not the case with many of these other novelties.

Thanks Fx for the comprehensive review. I wonder will the silver go that brownish hew that occurs to silver over time and requires polishing to remove it. Maybe that alloy

By: Hulk : April 19th, 2021-14:49

Combination eliminates that issue. Nice looking watch though. I like what appears in the photos to be a dull / matt look of the bezel, dial and case. Cheers S

That's the big question, indeed.

Great review as always

By: penfriend : April 19th, 2021-14:50

although to me seeing it in the metal it was a dull color scheme - thus I declined. but hey, good that we are all different (mostly)

I enjoyed the review. Thank you for posting it here.

A great summary, thank you.

Excellent review, def one of the highlights of this year’s W

By: Watchonthewrist : April 20th, 2021-00:34

Can’t wait to get mine and to see it in person. Excellent addition to my BB58 collection

Thanks for the review Fr.Xavier!

By: Mary Anny : April 20th, 2021-02:08

I would rather go for the yellow gold version, which is simply thrilling in my opinion.

Great review!

By: keks : April 20th, 2021-04:28

I love the bb58 in all iterations. However, it would be a huge step up if they offered a rubber strap as an option... it is a diving watch after all and during warmer time of the year rubber is perfect on this reference in my opinion...

Really nice review! Thanks!

By: Lachaussette : April 20th, 2021-05:53

If there is no see-through back, I would definitely be more interested in getting one. Good watch, reasonably priced. Many thanks for the great review!

Great write up.

By: amg786w : April 20th, 2021-11:26

Thanks for the effort! I've heard of stabalised bronze cases and I wonder if thats the case with this silver alloy. I'm considering getting this piece as its such a nice looking watch due to all the matching tones within the case and dial, I just wonder w...

Another great review FX. I am looking forward to trying on this piece and I feel the same as you. This is the standout from Tudor for 2021 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : April 20th, 2021-14:10

How heavy is the watch? On the backside, is this an Ag925/Al - which would mean the main part besides Silver would be Aluminium! Which would add to the softness of Silver...

By: MCG (Markus) : April 21st, 2021-05:51

And great review (again) btw... 👍🏻👍🏻😃

I had asked the same question in another thread

By: houstonian : April 23rd, 2021-05:40

87 grams was the answer, vs 74 grams for the steel bb58 on strap

Which proves my assumption. The other metall in the alloy must be much lighter. Silver alone would mean the case should be over 90 grams

By: MCG (Markus) : April 23rd, 2021-08:55

As ever, an excellent review extremely well crafted 👍
