This is the only reason I am not considering the GMT on the current 41mm case size. Tudor please do a 39mm GMT!!!

They must have discussed this in design meetings. I just don't understand it.

A bronze 58 would be nice.

Probably never happening though.

Also, anyone got lug to lug measurements for the BB58 for us small wristed individuals ?
Hell a 40mm pelagos thats 12mm thick would be badass. 20mm bracelet and drop the spring clasp for standard Tudor sport clasp.

I agree mate... especially when Tudor for some time, has been selling their watches with an additional strap. Pin holes make it easier for changing the straps. I hear(should be confirmed-heard this from more than 1 AD) that they now stop selling the watches with the additional fabric strap. bummer.

True, they now have three variations: bracelet, leather or strap.
Bracelet and leather no longer come with the fabric trap.

That would have made it a "must have", IMHO.

Very cool like a retro look and a little thinner case definitely a homerun

I must have completely missed it, but apparently the BB58 uses the same cream-colored lume as the Pelagos LHD. Looks great with the gold, but odd that nothing on this watch is white. I’m really curious to see how it all looks in person.

I absolutely love it on leather. Could absolutely see adding one. Tudor is really stepping up their game.

I understand the BBN is the most popular of the current black bay lineup but why not offer a blue and red bezel version for the BB58?

Am I dreaming or the leather straps in the photos were installed wrong?

I would be very interested in a BB58 with the BB Blue color scheme. I tried on a red Black Bay the other day but I still can’t get over the chunkiness. Seems like the fifty-eight will be the perfect size for me but a more “youthful” color would be cool.

The one thing I don’t like about the design is the bezel, which I found very hard to grip. Seems like they went for appearance over ease of use here. This is fine since the majority of owners will never use the bezel as anything as a toy. But it should be more fun to play with, IMHO.

Production issues? Issues with smaller movement? Try to increase demand?

Certainly disappointing.

Sucks as that's the one watch I've been looking forward to in the Tudor lineup. Although I did call around locally and not many ADs even know what that is, so I am guessing demand isn't crazy at least in Asia.
