My Grail Watch
Had the opportunity to try on my dream watch last week! The watch is the Tudor Black Bay 58 in the black configuration. Words cannot describe how excited I felt as I’ve been wanting this watch for over a year now! I was going to wait for an occasion to get it for but I don’t think I can wait!
What do you guys and girls think of the Tudor Black Bay 58? I’ve already been looking at straps for it to take everywhere!!

Black Bay 58 is a fan favorite and a beautiful piece.
IF I MAY BE SO BOLD - let me tell you that I was also coveting one for a while, and, just as an experiment I bought the Lorier Neptune sIV. It's also a very, very nice watch for about 1/8th the price. I gotta be honest, I don't even want the BB58 anymore.
You're a young guy, I don't know what your finances are, but if you haven't already plunked down the cash for the Tudor, check out the Neptune, if nothing else, just as a test run for a similar watch.
Best watch for the money. Looks good on your wrist.

The Lorier looks lovely!! To me it just doesn’t have as much charm and reminds me of my Tissot with it’s case shape. I am a young dude (22yr) but I’d say I’m in a pretty decent job being a manager at a casino.
One thing I do love about that Lorier is the hands on the dial reminding me of the good ol’ classic Omega Speedmaster!

Thank you so much!! I’m thinking of getting a thick leather NATO strap to go with it for when I travel!
Do it!
Do it!
Think I’m going to buy it on Thursday when I’m next off work!

I have looked at the Lorier next to my BB58. The Lorier Neptune is very nice.

All good man, follow your heart.
Good looking watch
I certainly love the BB58 and bought one. On strap especially!
Congrats! The BB58 is also my current favorite. I’ve got the OEM bracelet, OEM nato and uncle Seiko president bracelet (which I’m willing to sell).
BB58 is a killer, an instant classic, can't go wrong there
I am looking at BB58 but think it will look like a toy on my 8 inch wrist. The Heritage 41s are too thick so I am stuck.
Awesome watch and one of the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Unpopular opinion but I actually think I still prefer this to the black bay 54. Good luck!

My wrists are about 7.7 inches if that helps you decide better! 😀
I had a very similar experience to yours. Wanted one for ages, saved up for over a year and thought to myself that I'd wait for a special occasion to pull the trigger. Went to the store and tried it on and it was a perfect match. In love instantly and got it there and then.
It's been a year now and it remains my favourite in my collection. If you love it....and you have the means.... buy it.
