I got an email for an invite to a Tudor event from an AD. I presumed it was for the latest pieces from Watches & Wonders. I replied I was interested in attending and also enquired if they had any BB54’s in stock. Yep, literally the day before the email was sent out!
The AD kindly reserved it for me to check out. To my surprise it was still fully stickered and in the transportation box. I had tried on the watch a few times prior and it was on my ‘watch buying roadmap’ ever since it was announced. So here we are; first stop on this year’s map (there are potentially two more stops).
It’s lovely (obviously) and luckily (unlike some others) I’m not ‘inbetween’ on the link/T-Fit clasp, fit-wise. Personally, I haven’t bought a (predominantly) brushed cased watch in a while and it feels reassuring in that way. Also the bezel click is just so satisfying - someone should just make an hour long ASMR video on it.
One quirk I noticed was the Tudor shield on the clasp is very reminiscent of the Comedy/Play face symbol in theatre - now you can’t ‘unsee’ it too (you’re welcome!)…

Gorgeous. I want to try one on, I'm curious how a diver would feel in that size (which is technically smaller than my daily.) What was the event like?
hahaha i thought i was the only one that thought the Tudor shield on the clasp resembled the “play face” symbol. good to know someone else sees it too 🍻
I adore my BB54. Perfect size. And I like comedy so thanks for pointing out the funtimes!
Congratulations Chung! Looks perfect on you👌 I have yet to test the 54 in the flesh.

Thanks. It’s slightly smaller (case) and roughly same (thickness) as a 5 digit Rolex Sub - if that helps?? Event is not for another month or so but I’ll report on that nearer the time.
I think you’ll probably be in luck if you’re near an AD as I’ve seen a few around now…

Good to join the Comedy Club….😂
I purchased the BB 54 already . Perfection

Thanks Per. It’s been a year since release (and the new models may take some of the attention) so it should be more common to see it in windows now

Thanks Jerome. Can we really trust people who aren’t??

It definitely puts the jam in my doughnut….
Congrats on the pick-up Chung, and in particular on your patience. I remember your post after trying it on for the first time, and that seems like ages ago. So you’ve shown restraint!
That’s a fantastic looking watch, congrats! The Black Bay watches is clean design at its best - no frills and very wearable. 🔥🔥
Enjoy it it looks terrfic. Have one too and its wonderful.
Your picture is incredible - pro cam or your phone?
Laugh now, Cry later! Lolol that's funny stuff. I hadn't noticed this before. So funny that I have a sad face tattoo above it. Cheers. Congratulations on your new baby. I would be okay with this being my only watch to be honest.
Congrats and enjoy, Chung! Wear it in style and good health.

Oh my! How’s that for coincidence?? Love it!!
Congrats and enjoy, Chung! Wear it in style and good health.
Thanks - I will try!
Fantastic BB54 congratulations
That's a fantastic watch, looks mint. Didn't take you for being into dive watches. Enjoy, you have my admiration.

There might be a watch thing in Manchester around Nov time and I’ll be coming up for that

I'll keep a look out, mind you London is easier than Manchester tbh as transport up there's a nightmare.
Amazing! I got mine on rubber a couple of weeks ago too! Such a great watch
Thanks Sophie - appreciated.
I did ask for a price/lead time for the additional rubber strap and (T-Fit) clasp. I do like a rubber strap on a dive watch (it’s casual and super comfortable). My only personal caveat is to have a fitted one. I may have to explore some 3rd party options

Oooh! Hope it’s part of their CTS ones! I have one for my PRX and it’s comfortable and supple especially with the spring fit clasp.
Thanks - look forward to knowing your thoughts on it
