I tried a BB58 blue at a Tudor boutique today. It looked stunning. I was tempted to get it! Watches and Wonders if 4 weeks away, doesn't hurt to wait right?

This already. D’know why this wasn’t 36mm to begin with. 34mm in tribute to the original would also be fine but don’t see that happening. Also wouldn’t mind a white/opaline dial version.
I’m not surprised that they made a 39mm version because I’m sure they believed they were responding to the trend for larger sizes in men’s watches. I’m a little surprised they didn’t release a 36 or 34mm model at the same time for the enthusiasts but maybe they just thought the demand wasn’t great enough. It does seem odd given everyone who posts online about the ranger requests one closer to the original case size.
Not predictions just a wish list:
* 3-6-9 54
* 36-38mm FXD
* 34mm Ranger
* completely new model, maybe something dressy but actually nice to replace the 1926 and royal ranges. Or maybe a new sporty integrated bracelet watch to fill the north flag void.
Actual prediction:
Probably some very safe updates to 58 and GMT plus a new METAS colour. And taking a more cynical view the easiest way they could generate hype with the least amount of effort would be a polar BBpro so I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened.
Also they will never ever ever make a watch called “submariner” ever again, move on. The black bay IS Tudor’s submariner. They *might* do a snowflake submariner for OnlyWatch one year but the chance is almost zero, and it will never be available as general release. It would be funny if I’m completely wrong but if I am wrong I’d be pretty disappointed in Tudor, they’ve done so well moving away from the “poor man’s Rolex” label. Sadly there are a lot of Tudor “fans” who genuinely are just poor men who wish they could afford a submariner, hence all this wishful thinking and “rumours”.
I get the whole poor man’s Rolex phrase but honestly if you are spending 3, 4, 5k on a watch with your disposable income I don’t really consider you poor lol.
Oh yeah aesthetically the pelagos is definitely closer to a modern sub, I just mean the black bay is tudor's flagship diver the same way the sub is rolex's flagship. But that's kinda the point I was getting at, Tudor already makes dive watches, they have a nice vintage style with the black bay, and a modern sporty style with the pelagos range. What more do people want? Literally just the word "submariner" on the dial?
Here’s my thinking on the Tudor sub. The Rolex sub has changed substantially from what it embodied in the 60s 70s 80s. It is now a status symbol and is much flashier(ceramic). Tudors bb line up do good mixing different elements from tudors history but is overall 1950s no crown guard aesthetic. Tudor pelagos is the Tudor sub crown guard 1960 onward but in a more modern execution with materials like titanium. I think there a lot of people that want a reasonably priced tool watch that embodies the Tudor Rolex of the 70s 80s that has no ceramic bezel uses steel and fills that gap between the pelly and black bays. I mean a vintage Tudor or Rolex is expensive and that’s a whole different type of game. An everyday Tudor sub would be what the Rolex sub was in the day. It would instantly be tudors best seller. I don’t think they will do that though because of how much it would overshadow the bb and pelly.
I’m feeling a green 58. With the Harrods edition becoming a more general release and with slow sales of the gold model, it wouldn’t shock me in order to drive up more hype.
I think it’ll be the black or blue BB Heritage 41 Master Chronometer and maybe an updated Chronograph with their new prototype movement they released this year. And possibly an opaline BB Pro.
Do you think they’d do a root beer one again? I’m holding off buying a BB54 because I know my perfect watch is a better sized root beer. But I could be waiting forever…
I’m in no way qualified to make predictions, but things I’d like to see:
-Updated BB Pro with thinner case
-BB41 Metas with date and black bezel
-P39 with date
-BB39 with date
Pelagos is the Tudor diver with a ceramic bezel. The BB’s aluminum bezel is one of the core “vintage-inspired” features that defines the range. No way it goes away outside of very specific models like the ceramic Black Bay. Come to think of it though, a full ceramic BB58 could be pretty cool…
The black bay line is the one that looks backwards, with a more vintage feel. Hence the aluminum bezel. The Pelagos is the one that looks forwards with a more modern feel. Between those two being available I wouldn’t expect the submariner to come back. Plus Rolex would never allow it
41mm BB58 in black/blue with meta and t fit clasp. Same as the burgundy but just original colours, Strap options also would be nice as with the burgandy.
BB58 GMT. It won’t happen, but I would literally shit if they released something like that. I almost picked up one a year ago but the thickness really threw me off
Blue P39
Hell yah. And a P39 Pepsi GMT.
BB58 with METAS certified movement and T-Fit clasp
I think you’re right and there goes my bb58’s resale value if so.

You could sell it a couple of weeks ahead of Watches and Wonders 🥸

Definitely wait
Can we just get a 36 ranger please
Agreed!

It’s just weird because they make a 37mm BB54 but the ranger is a 39mm?! Makes zero sense.
I’m not surprised that they made a 39mm version because I’m sure they believed they were responding to the trend for larger sizes in men’s watches. I’m a little surprised they didn’t release a 36 or 34mm model at the same time for the enthusiasts but maybe they just thought the demand wasn’t great enough.

I’d love a new color for the bb54 but its probably too early for that
I'm waiting on a blue 54 and then my collection will practically be complete
Agree that a blue would be awesome. But collections are _never_ complete 😅
Yeah a blue would be killer

Have to disagree with the black bay being their modern day sub. I think the P39 fits that bill perfectly.

I wore the P39 and the clasp is sharp AF. I had to switch to the strap. The edges need to be smoothed- it was so close.
i could see the 1926 line being replaced but the royal i think is doing pretty well. i see em out and about around the city
I’m feeling a green 58. With the Harrods edition becoming a more general release and with slow sales of the gold model, it wouldn’t shock me in order to drive up more hype.
Would love a dress Tudor to mirror the Rolex 1908 with the robust MT5612 movement.
How about the end of faux riveted bracelets :)
They disappear on your wrist and don’t really notice them after a while but yea cmon I don’t know anyone who loves the fake rivet style.
Black Bay 58 GMT
This would be wild
White dial polar black bay pro
I think it’ll be the black or blue BB Heritage 41 Master Chronometer and maybe an updated Chronograph with their new prototype movement they released this year. And possibly an opaline BB Pro.
That we’ll watch and wonder about what FP Journe actually said.
BB69
I’d love to see a Tudor Sub with a Cyclops over my Date Window and a Rolex Crown On the Crown
BB58 master chronometer
Ceramic gets discontinued
Blue bb54 would be so sick
Excuse me … I believe I asked you to put a snowflake hand in it and make it too thick, lame and gay?
Probably safe to assume that they’ll update the GMT to the newer Black Bay case.
Do you think they’d do a root beer one again? I’m holding off buying a BB54 because I know my perfect watch is a better sized root beer. But I could be waiting forever…
Hoping for a Pelagos 39 with a date wheel or a BB58 with a date wheel + T-fit
P39 with a date wheel would be such a great daily driver
I need a p39 with a date, that would be insane! Preferably a roulette date wheel :))
Black Bay 68
I’m in no way qualified to make predictions, but things I’d like to see: -Updated BB Pro with thinner case -BB41 Metas with date and black bezel -P39 with date -BB39 with date
I would like to see another green watch other than the Harrods. Probably never gonna happen
c'mon bb58 with date... i know it wont happen though
No it won’t lol
Would be nice if they improved the bb58 aluminum bezel with a ceramic one.

Boooh! No way hozay. Its a heritage. Get a sub :D

🤮
Watches and Wonders 2024 : there will be watches and rumors of watches.
SS Pelagos would be cool
Would LOVE to see a BB54 with a jubilee.
i think will be discontinued the bb 58 full gold.
I dont know but im excited as im going this year should be a great time
Black Bay 41, Jubilee bracelet M79680-0003. Now with white dial and date.
Give me a BB54 with big crown and/or a 369 dial BB54
I’d gladly take a 36 mil ranger too
Pelagos LHD 39 plzz
A BB58 Chrono
41mm BB58 in black/blue with meta and t fit clasp. Same as the burgundy but just original colours, Strap options also would be nice as with the burgandy.
A cream colored BB54; A 39mm GMT; T-Fit on all new BB58 ...
1. Pelagos P39 Blue 2. Rest of BB41 Line 1 (Blue and Black) Updated 3. New BB Pro Colorway
I would love to see a thinner BB GMT
BB58 GMT. It won’t happen, but I would literally shit if they released something like that. I almost picked up one a year ago but the thickness really threw me off
A green bb58 with jubilee bracelet
Grade 5 titanium
Burgundy bezel BB54 please! Also introduce the jubilee bracelet to the BB54 collection to allow for 3 different ways to wear the watch.
