MAGNIFICENT! I Bought the new 39mm TUDOR Black Bay 58 GMT | Know This Before You Buy | Automatic Divers Watch Review

Bakelite goodness! I picked this reference M7939G1A0NRU up from my local authorised dealer and couldn't be happier!
It pays homage to the old Rolex GMT Master watches from yesteryear, which gained the 'Coke' nickname due to the colour of the red and black bezel.

Others may call this the 'Caffeine Free' or the 'Iron-Man'

Certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
Waterproof to 200 m (660 ft) in accordance with ISO standard.

Would you buy this watch?

Oh no. I recently 'got the call', and something has to go...

I bought this watch yesterday, it just arrived at the AD and I was told it was for exhibition only. But the seller eventually told me I was a real enthusiast and wanted to sell it to me. Felt like I hit the jackpot. Pictures and videos don’t do this watch justice, it’s so much nicer in person. The way light reflects on the bezel and gilt accents is stunning.

Wow that ceramic ball bearing is a great touch and yeah will never wear down! Love that!

100% my next watch. Only thing I'd change is i wish the sides were brushed rather than shiny. Still shes a beaut

Great review. Must agree with you the BB 54 I’ve had it for nine months now you’re right it is a masterpiece. I have two more tudors but it’s the 54 that finds itself on my wrist most of the time.

Great review! Just received mine today, and I agree with all your points. There is a guy, Uncle Straps that makes half links for the Black Bay 58 line that fits this perfect and makes that T-Fit adjustment fine tuned. Keep up the great work!

Today visited my AD to check if he had this one. Unfortunately not, they had just one and it sold two days ago. However tried a few other Black Bays and was surprised in the size difference between the BB58 and the regular GMT (41mm). Difference was so substantial I'm almost wondering if the 58 won't feel too small for such a nice looking (and expensive) example. Food for thought. Put down my name so they will give me a call when the Coke reappears in shop, so I'll have some time to make up my mind

I bought one of the first Tudor GMTs. Soon as I had the watch in my hand. I turned the bezel. It was so noisy and clunky that I was so embarrassed, I didn’t let any of my friends touch the watch or put it in their hand at all. Almost felt like there was something wrong with the Bezzle. I sent it back to the Rolex Service center in New York City. It was there for several months. Finally came back to me. Then the date. It was skipping between days and it would show half a digit.
It just plain got stuck. Back to New York it went. I kept it exactly 6 months. Then sold it. So essentially the watch was at the service center in New York more than it was on my wrist. Soon as I took the watch out of the box, it just felt flimsy. wearing a Rolex GMT since 1967. Then buying the Tutor GMT.
What can I say for me? It was just not a very good experience. I’m not bad mouthing the watch. I’m just telling everybody what happened with the watch that I bought. At the moment I’m looking at my Rolex GMT 2022 on my wrist. I’m happy. Tudor tried to fast track this watch and get it on the market before Basil.
It will never hold its value like the Rolex GMT.

This is not coke is DrPepper! Hahahahaha❤

They have fixed the proportions of the triangle larger and the logo, on the 58 I can’t unsee how far pushed down the logo and text are :( I’m going to pick on of these up

[specialkfouryou]

Love it, congrats! With the vintage vibe it should have come on a jubali, would fit the character well.

[skier]

Cheers for that. I’ve had mine a few weeks but not cracked it out yet!

[timyoungnc]

Think they’ll offer a silver later this year?

[vladgazi]

Very nice watch, but common, 39 mm case? For men’s watch? At least provide an option for 43 or 44 mm case!

[cynvs]

I kind of really want it, but got no use for a GMT watch.
What do you do with the GMT hand when not travelling or tracking a timezone, that is relevant to you?

[maitrehg]

Nice but too small for men. BB41 Monochrome is a better choice.
