Which one would you choose?
I got offered the Tudor Black Bay Harrods (the left one for those who don’t know) for a very competitive price. The blue BB58 is already mine. But I can only keep one for financial reasons.
I could:
- Keep the blue BB58 and be happy
- Sell the BB58 and pay around 1500€ on top to get the BB Harrods and be happy
The Harrods has a (much) larger case but is a very special watch with an amazing look. I’m really torn back and forth.
How would you decide?

Keep the bb58 as much as I love the color combo on the Harrod’s I feel the bb58 will wear more comfortable due to its size and weight plus that Harrod’s one is a chunky monkey … I’m considering getting the the blue bb58 soon… 😁

Exactly my thoughts! My buddy was so amazing that he lets me borrow the watch for a week, so I could experience it on the wrist before making the decision 😍
I appreciate the uniqueness of the Harrods, but overall think the BB58 blue looks better on your wrist.
(d) get rid of the blue, and pool together to buy something else

Thanks for your input but not an option. I really like the Black Bay

Oh well…
I feel the BB58 is the much more wearable option, so that would be my choice.
Like the color of the Harrods, but the size of the blue... Hard to decide
Harrods has a great look but the BB58 seems to fit your wrist better.
The blue is much nicer. That green, meh!
Really depends on your wrist size and color preference. The blue dial crowd would be horrified to trade away the blue dial. If you have a larger wrist, then the 41mm is a better fit than 39mm - vice versa if your wrist is 7 inches or smaller.
The Harrods kinda looks like a Tudor British Kermit.
I had previously never understood the appeal of the Harrods version, but the more I see it, the more I like it. The dimensions of the BB58 are much better in my opinion, and it's also a very nice looking watch, so it really comes down to which appeals to you more. If they were both sitting in your watch box, which one do you think you'd reach for more often?
I'd happily keep the blue BB58 without question.
I know the Harrod’s gets a lot of attention but I always thought that’s a reaction to it’s limited availability rather than it being an attractive watch. I never cared for the colour so that may affect my perception.
I feel the Harrods watch likely to go up in value and become collectable at some point.
The 41mm might look great initially, but you might start to feel the weight after a day. Try wearing it for a full day, and then decide.
