People Are Dumping The Tudor Black Bay 58 & Here's Why!!

the black bay 58 is an almost perfect dive watch i've referenced this as the chuck taylor of watches something you can wear every day and not worry about it ever being out of place the versatility is unmatched and in my opinion it's even more versatile than its bigger brother the rolex sub before i explain that statement you may have noticed something if you're a watch geek like i am the black bay 58 is one of the most flipped watches in the market today i would like to give a yin and yang overview for lack of a better reference on the one hand we will discuss why i believe despite the increased number of sales the black bay 58 is still one of the best divers you can get for under 5 000 on the other hand i'll give you my opinion on why i think there's two big reasons people are dumping this almost perfect timepiece into the market reason number one social media over saturation yep it is a fact if you follow any watch account on social media you'll likely see one of three watches in every collection the rolex sub the omega speedmaster and or the black bay 58 now here in the us a very popular car is the ford mustang pure american muscle my whole life i've lived in the middle east and the mustang is a very rare car over there in fact i've probably only seen it three times in my life well of course the rarity increased my desire for that 5.0 beast it became my dream car growing up then when i moved back to the states i've seen more mustangs than flies around the hawaushi cart my middle eastern friends will understand that reference as a result it went from being a dream car to something i passed on for pure german goodness an m3 well it was good for the first two months anyway bottom line is no matter how good the mustang is in this case the mustang is the black bay 58 it has lost this charm because everywhere i looked there was another one around the corner or the wrist in this case reason number two buying it for the wrong reasons as youtubers we're super guilty of this problem i call it the alternative syndrome i'm gonna say it now if your heart desires the sub do not buy the black bay 58. i'm gonna say it again if your heart desires the sub do not buy the black bay 58 as an alternative think of it as a girl of your dreams despite any flaws people might point out to you that girl is perfect but instead of putting in the effort to take her on dates and get her flowers you decide to date someone else that requires little to no effort in the end of the day you will always have that girl or guy in the back of your head so in this case if you buy the black bay 58 as an alternative to the rolex sub you'll always be thinking about that sub [Music] you may have noticed both reasons people are dumping their watches into the market like a night after tacos have the exact same theme both have nothing to do with the watch itself and that is key here to understand if you aren't affected by the following reasons you're in luck because the black bay 58 remains a fantastic diver for the money nothing has changed just because we see a big flood in the market doesn't mean we discovered something bad about the bb-58 it is still the undisputed king of affordable luxury watches now quite the terrible self promo here but we do have a black bay 58 in stock over at ticking away today's sponsor tickingaway.com we carry a ton of incredible watches from some very rare watches from the likes of granfeld langa and so on but we also have some amazing watches we curated for under five thousand dollars so if the black bay 58 doesn't float to your boat make sure you check out our inventory we got in a ton of amazing watches guys thank you for watching and i'll see you in the next one
