Wait to try on a BB54 b4 buying
I am in Paris & I tried on a Black Bay 54 today.
I have 6.25" wrist. I own a BB58, a Lorier Neptune III, love my vtg Rolex Air King (34mm), own a few other 36-38mm vtg divers, even have 1970 Tudor Submariner. BUT this new Tudor Black Bay 54, to my eyes, seemed toy-ishly small & light. This was not the reaction I expected. I thought this watch would be a slam dunk for me. Maybe my eyes will adjust, but I am saying the watch doesn't suit me today. Have patience and wait to try on. Don't rush to buy.
Sorry no pic. Too gauche for me to take a photo in the store.

Always admired watches. Restrained myself in my 20s thru 40s because of the costs. Did sneakers. Now feel wealthy enough where I can play.

That's very interesting that it didn't live up to your expectations. I have a just over 7 inch wrist and have a pelagos and a po1. The bb54 really caught my eye and to me was the most interesting new tudor release. I will definitely be trying before buying based on your experience!
I am loving loving the BB 54, it is like it was designed just for my wrist. Having trouble taking it off.
