Tudor Black Bay 58 🌹
Calendar day 22 of 24 🎅 A new design with lot of identity and a lot of heritage. Probably the most popular watch from one of the fastest growing brands. Taking a turn towards classic after a lot weirdness in the 90s.
Just a certified homage brand? Or creation of a solid identity for this historic brand while stayingbtrue to the roots?

For me this is a tricky one. Your options are not fitted to the BB58. For sure it’s design ques are classic but it’s hard to define a watch from 2018 as Classic or to be a Legend. But I don’t consider it Overrated and definetely not Irrelevant either. I have had mine since 2020 and I think it is a stunner. I vote Classic even it’s not yet there IMO. But I think it’s a future classic.
Is this the one that a hefty percentage of people trade in within a short time? It's not distinctive enough for me to remember if this is it or not.
I chose over rated. It’s a great watch, checks off all the boxes, and is available at a great price point.
People should own and love this watch, but there is nothing unique or distinctive about it. It is not old enough to be a watch “every collector should own”.
Since I bought it in may I have to go with legend. Just to make myself feel better. 😄
Jk. It’s a great watch. Wear it multiple times a week.
As a current owner, I voted over rated. It’s a nice watch. Classic styling. Great size. So-so bracelet. Solid movement.
I don’t think it’s a great value for it’s MSRP but there aren’t too many competitors against it in the small luxury diver category. Maybe that’s why it gets such attention.
It’s found it’s place in the market but it’s really nothing more than a “good“ watch. Sometimes that’s enough, I guess.
It's a black dial diver and the only thing saving it from generic hell is a set of fugly hands.
