Just had the call for my BB58, and my first impressions on this watch are it is a fineeeeeee piece of art.

Its slim and light, and wears small on the wrist, the total opposite to my BB GMT.

Its actually more comfortable than my Daytona.

I love the simplicity of this watch, cant wait to add more Tudors to my collection.

The GMT is still my fav overall I think. If only the BB58 had the date :(

Congratulations on your new BB58. Definitely an easier to wear size. I love the whole Black Bay line with it's great classic styling. I have the BB ETA in black myself. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Nice collection too! Cheers!

The 58 does nothing for me but I own a subc. Put a green dial on the 58 or a green bezel I would be all over it. I prefer the Pepsi as such and the size does not bother me. I own a bb s and g.

007_Omega · 6 February 2019, 01:12 PM

BB58 has the better proportions but I like the BB Pepsi more. A hybrid of the two is a watch I'd really consider buying. BB58 Pepsi please! Watch them release a coke BB58 GMT instead causing a craze here.

Love the BB Pepsi. BB 58 doesn’t talk to me at all. Don’t like fake patina.

Kyle3130 · 6 February 2019, 01:29 PM

GMT with 58 proportions is what they should’ve made.

brucethemanlee · 6 February 2019, 01:38 PM

nice

scheneider · 6 February 2019, 02:20 PM

i have BB58 on hold in an AD, but i am considering to wait for the GMT as well, this poll 50-50 doesnt help at all. LOL

HogwldFLTR · 6 February 2019, 02:27 PM

BB58 is a great dive watch!!! Congratulations!!!

Inq50 · 6 February 2019, 03:47 PM

what Hamilton model is that ? love the vintage look

Cru Jones · 6 February 2019, 04:07 PM

Love the 58. It’s the Tudor to own, IMO. Nice set of watches.

watchwatcher · 7 February 2019, 12:43 AM

The BBGMT is one of my favorite watches in the collection, so that's my vote.

Actually got to try a 58 on last week, and was surprisingly just a bit underwhelmed, TBH. Maybe that's not a fair assessment though...I was there to pick up another 39mm that made my heart rate speed up a little.

ap1 · 7 February 2019, 01:40 AM

That pic is about as red / blue as I’ve seen the gmt. Mine normally comes off darker

I much prefer the Tudor GMT, but I understand folks with smaller wrists that prefer the size and thickness of the 58. I'm the other way around and prefer the chunkiness and presence of the GMT on my ~7.5" wrist

Both are awesome but I voted GMT

samson66 · 7 February 2019, 03:05 AM

...and yes, having a date is a big plus in the GMT column

stanc1 · 7 February 2019, 04:48 AM

Congrats!
I'm a fan.

I just evened up the score now its 24 to 24! . I have a very small wrist but absolutely love the chunkiness and presence of the GMT.

HogwldFLTR · 7 February 2019, 05:51 AM

I think the poll is showing an edge for the 58 perhaps due to the issues with the new GMT movement!!!

nick c · 7 February 2019, 06:23 AM

You still loving yours as much as I am? The Tudor GMT is such an absolute steal for the price!

ltmgeller · 7 February 2019, 08:17 AM

Pepsi

I have to agree with this and I wouldn't be surprised to see one at Basel.

Congratulations. I have to vote for the GMT as I use the complication and the date frequently. And I agree, a 58 case with a GMT movement would be PERFECT.
