Intresting 21,691 Posted June 23, 2021 Tudor just released this. BB58 Bronze. 39mm Bronze bracelet that has Tudor's own glidelock system. Yay or nay? I hope they rep this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil 2,897 Posted June 23, 2021 I’m a fan but I’m biased as love everything Tudor, although can understand if it’s not for everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcagara08 31 Posted June 23, 2021 white dress shirts would hate this right? I mean c'mon with all the oxidation it will receive when normally wearing it or soaking it in sea water, yep not for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan1927 0 Posted June 23, 2021 Yay from me but I am a big Tudor fan. Problem for me is I have had two Tudor BB reps and the pearl on the bezel has come of bothe of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted June 23, 2021 Too much bronze for me. It's of on watch head, but not also on the bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,518 Posted June 23, 2021 I’ve been looking at this a lot on Instagram - I really like it, not so keen on the bracelet- but not does come with the ‘nato’, and tbh prefer the look on a nato or leather. Guess Tudor would need to produce a bronze deployant clasp to accompany any leather strap option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveA 308 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Not a fanboi but I really like this,something different.But fuck knows what it’ll look like in a couple of months,I like shiny not oxidised or patina . Edited June 23, 2021 by SteveA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted June 23, 2021 Apart from too small it's too yellow and brown........ looks like newborn baby poo...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted June 23, 2021 Nowt but a Gingermariner. Old news. All gingers are cunts however, therefore it's an abomination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted June 23, 2021 If this gets rep'd I would buy it in a heartbeat. Gen is a lot of dough to see how it patinas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,746 Posted June 23, 2021 Gonna get this in rep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarbus 138 Posted June 23, 2021 I love it, but as others have commented I am curious about the oxidation of the bracelet vs. shirts. Otherwise it is perfect... 39mm + adjustable bracelet = winner for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoobBandit 1,311 Posted June 23, 2021 I like it, but I’m not sure how it would age. I’ll take the BB58 with patina on steel already done for the lower price point. I’d take the Pelagos in blue at this price point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusky27 1,749 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Yeh makes me wonder if at the end of a day, you'd have a big black oxide mark on your skin. I'd imagine if the gen didn't your rep would leave a mark like a 50p claw machine gold watch hehe. I do like it though....

Intresting 21,691 Posted June 23, 2021 If the bracelet ages like how the 43 Bronze patinas, wearing it will be a major problem, especially with sleeves. There will be a green ring round the wrist. Urgh. I can also see a future slate grey and even Bucherrer edition. A ZF rep will be stunning though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brown I don't mind, but this bronze is way too much toward aged gold, too much yellow as you said, at least one those renders pics 8 hours ago, tribefan said: If this gets rep'd I would buy it in a heartbeat. Gen is a lot of dough to see how it patinas. I'm sure the rep will be more pleasing to the eye, they'll fuck up the accuracy of the bronze material, but it'll be better than the gen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,691 Posted June 24, 2021 How many watches are out there that have fully bronze bracelets as well? I know of Oris, and Zelos does a bronze/stainless steel hybrid, with stainless inner links so that your wrist does not turn green. Pins are all stainless though, as bronze is too soft. Wonder how Tudor does it. I also am unsure if I would like the ENTIRE watch (bracelet included) with a patina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flinnt 2,009 Posted June 24, 2021 When I always try to buy watches on bracelets, I’d prefer to take this on leather. Well I’ll take it on whatever ZF offer and switch a nice leather onto it. Tango would do something nice for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MA123 85 Posted June 24, 2021 Love the new glidelock clasp. But hate the Bronze! Still hoping for a BB58 GMT in the future….. Or a BB58 black with white indices and ceramic bezel. But that could be too much of a submariner killer, so i guess unlikely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diplomatico 191 Posted June 24, 2021 I absolutely fucking love this!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted June 24, 2021 Has anyone seen the official Tudor video on Instagram today showing how they make the bronze? Let me see if I can link it.... What I note is just how totally mechanised the process is. Humans really don't get a look in. No wonder the Chinese can replicate modern watches so well. This just makes me ever more sure that Reps are the way to go and Gens are ridiculously overpriced (Tudor being amongst the more reasonable though tbf). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
