Is This Rolex A Turd ? Black Bay 54 What Do I Really Think ?

Is This Rolex A Turd ? Black Bay 54 What Do I Really Think ?

Federico is making one big mistake: outside of America people just are much more skinnier. For most people outside the US the BB54 is actually the sweet spot and also the most true to its history. The BB58 isn’t near as comfortable on the wrist as the BB54.

I bought my wife a Black Bay 54 and she LOVES it. It's a gorgeous vintage looking dive watch that feels very high quality.

The BB54 crystal width is 28.5mm, which is close to the average 30mm for typical dive watches and chronographs. But the 20mm-16mm steel bracelet width taper makes this compatible with the average person, big or small. When a band goes below 16mm width a big-wristed person should be concerned about how that's going to look. This is also why a big-wristed person can probably wear one of the Kuoe Kyoto Smiths wristwatchs, even at 35mm, because its proportions still work. A band size of 120/80mm in length, plus the case size, adds up to 8 inches, maybe even 9.
I'm not going to say that every small watch works for big wrists, but knowing the key sizes can open up a lot of opportunities.

BB54 wears almost the same as BB58. Have tried them side by side and you can’t really tell.

Bigger ain't better, someone said to me once. Panerai's are not appropriate for most of us, I happen to love the 37mm Black Bay 54. It fits my wrist perfectly and doesn't jump off the wrist and draw attention to itself like many big watches do.

[TheWatchOut]

Calling the Black bay 54 ridiculously small is a terrible take.
The watch may have a 37mm case, but the lug to lug is 46mm. So it's not a small wearing watch on the wrist.

[Nachovalenti]

Federico, your comment about size wrist and the BB 54 is more than ridiculous. I don’t have an small wrist, the opposite, but I respect that everyone is different.

[chriscon]

I really like the Turn-o-graph. I like having a timing bezel!

[chrishennemeyer]

I too really like Turn-O-graphs, Thunderbirds, Air Kings, Millgauses, and Sky-dwellers. In other words, all the oddball Rolexes.

I bought the 54 for my wife’s 51/2 inch wrist. It looks fantastic on her. Not enough brands produce good looking sport watches for women. Wake up everyone she loves watches and she is the one who keeps talking me into my next watch. Thanks

I love those gold bezel Tur graphs with a champagne dial, on a brown leather strap, LOVELY .

[anfusolunnie]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[dereklee]

I didn’t think the 54 felt small at all. It felt very similar to the 58 to me. Both are great but I think I prefer the look of the 54 a bit more

[thomashelm]

Love the Santos! But I like the GP Lauriato too. Decisions decisions...

[haroldsingh]

The Rolex TOG you showed is the best one. My wife picked it over anything else.

I watch alot of older films and see alot of 36mm and 38mm case sizes and they look great. On big guys like Robert Mitchum, John Wayne and Lee Marvin. So if the Duke could do it I'm sure you can Fed.I was just watching Marked for death with Steven Segal and he wore a Day date 36mm which was his personal piece in real life and a TAG Heuer chronograph 38mm and Steven Segal is 6.5. Now guys that are 5.8 on a good day think those sizes are too small 😅 and before I get hit with the that's all was available at the time. There were plenty of 40mm and 42mm case sizes at the time but that's what he choose to wear

[christianpermann]

Hi Federico, maybe you shouldn't make fun about guys with tiny wrists by saying their watch size is ridiculous! A guy your size should know

Watching from Nacka Forum, vacation day 20/37.

[patrickhartmann]

I’ve a 6.75” wrist and own the 58 and 54. The 58 wears better and oddly is more comfortable even without glide lock. Still, I’m keeping the 54 to put on a Bond NATO for a bit of fun. 🤵🏻

Loving the GoodPlanet Aqua Terra you have for sale currently. If I had the readies, I'd be splashing out on that bad boy.
