Got to try the bb58 blue from a friend. Have to say it's a hack of a deal for the watch.

Onequik135i · 10 July 2020, 11:42 AM

That blue looks stunning on it.

mmalek1 · 10 July 2020, 11:43 AM

Thanks for the comparison shot. This one is definitely on my radar.

arcentaur · 10 July 2020, 12:05 PM

The sub looks so much bigger. Maybe because you’re wearing it a foot farther in.

scousejames · 10 July 2020, 12:11 PM

Is that camera trickery? or is the Sub actually that much bigger in real life? Looks huge next to the 58

I just picked up a blue BB58 today.. was wearing my SubC LV when I collected it ... the sub is appreciably larger than the BB58. My 6.75 inch wrist can pull off both but the BB58 is really a better fit on my wrist if I’m being honest .

LF1925 · 10 July 2020, 03:42 PM

BB58 blue looks sharp, definitely leaning towards it as my next goal.

Cdaddylutz · 10 July 2020, 03:52 PM

What’s going on with the size of that. Can you swap them and take another picture

That's a great pic. The BB58 has excellent proportions.

This view, with these two particular watches side by side, is helpfully illustrative of the distinctives of the watches. It really boils down to preference, from a purely esthetic perspective IMO.

Kirsty87 · 10 July 2020, 04:04 PM

The sub needs to change its dimensions to be a 'little' more like the BB58, IMO.

I think it was the angle of the first picture that made the sub look super bloated. Still though I agree, I prefer the sleeker shape of the bb58p

Notepad12 · 10 July 2020, 04:11 PM

From that picture I would rather go for the Tudor. But then again I prefer smaller watches. The Subc looks huge!

Shows how the 5 digit style better suits a smaller wrist without the oversize overhang. Thank you for the pic, bit harsh on the foot distance comment lol.

Old Expat Beast · 10 July 2020, 04:18 PM

The 58 looks much better proportioned, with chamfered lugs leading into the bracelet. It's like a sports car next to a Humvee.

synrrgy · 10 July 2020, 05:12 PM

Interesting to see the difference in the maxi-case. Thanks for sharing pics.

Raku · 10 July 2020, 06:47 PM

It must be the angle of the picture, but the Submariner looks way bigger.
The Tudor is a nice watch and the blue is not right in your face like the white gold Sub.

Worst picture of a 116610LN I think I have ever seen, you really got that very wrong, feet too, well done.

Nice watches.

Krash · 10 July 2020, 11:15 PM

Tudor hit a home run with this watch.

I have a Submariner 114060, which is my favorite watch, but I’m considering getting one of these too...

Tudor looks more than 1 mm smaller though.

A Speedmaster Pro (42mm) looks more similar in size to a Sub than the new Black Bay.

Click baited me!

I thought it was going to be at least a Vintage 1970 Tudor Submariner 7021/0 Blue Snowflake

...back to sleep now..

Bigblu10 · 10 July 2020, 11:45 PM

For those who dream of a blue SS Submariner, this is about as close as you will ever get.

Mick006 · 11 July 2020, 12:19 AM

I hate to say it, but I am underwhelmed by this offering. I really wanted to like it. I even got on the list on 1 July. I’ll wait to see it in person, but a little deflated.

Tony8959 · 11 July 2020, 02:37 AM

Wow this comparison makes the Sub look tremendous. Almost makes me want to swap mine out for the Tudor

Agreed. Excited at first and was ready to pull the trigger but now I’m leaning more towards a white dial OP39
