So that time has come. I have to sell either my Tudor BB58 925 or my BB58 Blue. I love dive watches more than any other sort of watch and Tudor has made some of my favorite ones like the mighty Pelagos. I got the BB58 Blue, or Blue Bay as I call it, right after it was released in 2020, and I have enjoyed its clean aesthetic and bracelet. The year after that in 2021, I got the controversial yet intriguing BB58 925. The brushed silver case shined unlike any other watch I have ever handled and the gray dial and bezel were just about perfect for me. However, the case started to tarnish despite Tudor’s claims that it would not tarnish.
Now in 2022, the time has come to sell one of these incredible watches because as much as I love both of these watches I can't seem to justify keeping both. So in this video I will go over my thoughts on why I want to keep/sell each watch to hopefully come up with a decision. But being The Watch Idiot, this decision will likely continue to stew in my mind for quite a bit longer.
If you’d like to learn more about the Black Bay 925 take a look at my Tudor Tarnish Tales playlist! I take a look at the 925 for what it is beyond the controversy that has surrounded the tarnish. What is it like to live with on a daily basis? How comfortable is it compared to a steel Black Bay 58? How does it wear on different straps? Would I buy the watch if I had a chance to redo everything?

Background for the video: The advantages of silver include a warm and bright white color (especially with the fully brushed case), and additional heft to make the watch feel more special. However, silver’s main disadvantage is the fact that it oxidizes and tarnishes. Tarnishing is still one of the biggest concerns about the 925 and for good reason. Tudor said that it created a brand new alloy to fend off tarnishing, but the results are something only time could provide. However, one month after buying the 925, I got some answers because my 925 did start to tarnish and more reports of tarnishing came up as well. Now we wait and see how the tarnishing will progress.
