Being an elderly chap when I got the BB58 it was like getting a birth year piece that hasn't missed a beat and had a bracelet that didn't rattle.Still love it.

I picked up the BB Pro 7 months ago and I absolutely love it. I was considering the BB58 but the T-fit clasp on the Pro sealed the deal for me. The thickness is not an issue for me so that wasn't a deal breaker. Now if Tudor adds the T-fit clasp on the Black or Blue BB58 I'll add another watch to my collection. Great video Andrew keep them coming.

Tried both. The bulk on the pro is balanced but it's very noticeable. I went with the 58 and no regrets. It's a modern classic 💯

Bought the blue BB58. It is simply beautiful in its symmetrical and classic subby design. Perfectly sized and understatedly stunning.

The BB58 is a grail watch for me, so easy choice. I don't have need for a GMT complication.

I bought the BB Pro with a bracelet last year and I love it! It’s my first luxury watch so I don’t know how the thickness compares to other watches. It’s just a really cool looking watch, which feels very comfortable to wear.

I’ve owned both and have to say surgically speaking the 58 is a better fit, lighter, probably more versatile, but it does get boring after a while, the Pro on the other hand is a chunky boy and I likes that, the bezel brushing is brilliant and the yellow hand pops - is has something special which can only be appreciated on the long haul, where as the 58 is a charmer that loses its razzle dazzle quickly. Didn’t have to wait walked into an AD and was one in cabinet.

I recently went to a dealer to swap my 58 for the pro but after seeing the pros thickness I decided to stick with the 58. Because the pro is 39mm, the thickness stands out and makes it look unproportional

This is a tougher call than the Pelagos v. BB58. For months, I was torn between the 925 and the Pro. The issue was resolved when I let go and let the wife decide. She also liked both, but went with the Pro. It was a good decision, but failure was unlikely given the quality of both watches. In light of her decision making skills, she must now decide which of our two daughters we will keep. The loser will be sent to Jolly Old to live with Mr. Hands and the sheep.

The 58 lives on my wrist. Got it in August and wore it every single day, and often to bed. My new year's resolution was wearing my other watches again and have a rotation. I'll now wear it 1-2 days a week at work, and then all weekend long. And any work day with another watch has the 58 put on when I get home.
Funniest thing is, I kind of hate divers. But if there were such a thing as a one watch collection, this would be it.

I purchased a Gilt BB58 today and I'm over the moon!!

"It's like choosing which of your children you would rather give away."

"The answer, ideally, is both"

As a father of two, I couldn't agree more 😂

[MrWhiffman]

BB58 👍🏼 No faffing with date and a very useful bezel for timing the boiling of my eggs.

[cheesball]

Got the pro as a first watch. Not bothered by the thickness. Nothing else to compare it with so I don't think it's too thick.

Worked in a watch store for 2 years so tried other watches. But I choose not to be bothered by the thickness. It's fine.

Beautiful watch.

Thanks for another top quality review. I’d go for the Black Bay 58 myself, mainly because I just prefer the looks, but also that I’m pretty convinced the thickness of the Pro would not sit well on my relatively small wrist. Now, I don’t have any children, but many years of working with them means that if I did, I’d probably want to sell both too!
Keep well and keep up the fine work :-)

[BrittPearceWatches]

The best intro ever! “The answer ideally is both” 😂😂💕💕💕

[thesouthernwatchcollector]

Ok I think you missed one big thing. I am in the I can afford both category. I own both and have for a while. I also own more than a few Rolex’s. The reason I purchased both is they are better versions of there vintage counterparts. The 1655 explorer 2 had no GMT function definitely did not have 70 hours of power reserve and the bracelet is a whole another level. For the 58 the same can be said better movement longer power reserve better bracelet than the vintage Rolex and Tudor Submariner. This is not an Apples to Apples comparison of current Rolex models to current Tudor models. This is a Comparison of Vintage Rolex and Tudor to current Tudor. In my opinion there is no contest. Buy the Tudor current save a lot of money and whole you are at it get a five year warranty. Tudors to today is making vintage inspired watch of Rolex and Tudors past and they are killing it. Thank you Tudor. Lastly I love the videos you make please keep making them.

Another awesome video Andrew! Interestingly I wear a black dial Explorer II and my twin brother wears a Submariner. We've considered, cashing out and grabbing these exact watches. Not a knock on the Rolexes at all; more a commentary on how good the Black Bay's are - especially for the price delta.

[HandelOpNo]

I chose the Pro. Love it man. My favorite tool watch I’ve ever picked up.

[Xszezz]

I would get the 58. And compliment it with a GS SBGN003. Simple as that. Those two are my current real lusts. Now to decide witch one to spring for first...
