Tried on a BB58 for first time

[Ferdelious]

I've never put a Tudor watch around my wrist. Went to my AD to order a Yacht-Master and figured what the hell. I'll be honest, I was impressed. The BB58 was extremely comfortable and felt just as solid as my Sub or SD.

For those of you who don't want to wait years or pay 2x MSRP for Rolex, give Tudor a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I may even pick up a BB58 if the Yacht-Master takes too long.

Ive owned both a 41mm Black bay and the Pelagos. They're amazing daily watches.

I was mildly disappointed but unsurprised when my AD had nothing in that suited me on my birthday earlier this month (them being a couple hundred miles away I don't get a chance to just 'pop in' much) - the SA, with whom I'm friendly, suggested a BB58 blue on bracelet they'd gotten in that morning - I left pretty dang happy and with my first Tudor on my wrist!

I checked out Tudor about a year and a half ago and now own two as listed below.

I own the BB58 blue, it’s a great piece. It looks great, the movement is just as accurate as my Rolex watches and it was less than $4k. Hard to beat. I will say that I’m not a huge fan of the bracelet. Thankfully it’s great on straps and natos.

I have a Hulk 16610LV and the BB58...the Tudor gets most of my wrist time these days. The blue color is absolutely perfect and the watch wears light and super comfortable. I love the BB58. It punches WAY above its price point.

I have an appointment to look at the new 925 tomorrow.

I too was impressed. The harder question is Blue or Black/Gilt. I thought blue for sure, then then I have been seeing some amazing pictures by @fskywalker and others that make me reconsider.

I have tried on the black... twice, and have only seen the blue in the case very briefly on my way out looking at something else. I wish I took the time to ask to see it, but we were in a rush to get home.

From my try-on (I didn't buy it because I was chasing the Explorer, which never materialized, now discontinued). BB58 is looking more appealing everyday.

I have the ETA BB blue and wear it on a vanguard. Its a great watch without any flash.

the Black/Gilt on bracelet was one os the most stunning surprises. my buddy picked one up a few years ago and when I saw it I was really impressed

Love the BB58! One of the most versatile watches I’ve ever owned. It goes well on steel, nato, rubber, leather, cloth....straps!

Oh man, these pictures are enabling! That's the model I tried on with steel bracelet, also love the NATO.

Glad you gave the BB58 a try, and well said.

Just got home with this, very pleased with it, was unexpected, didn't think I'd get one this soon.

I really like that new color as well. Congrats!

I don't own one myself, but I've tried a couple on and I love the BB58.

The thickness is so much better on the 58 than on the 41mm IMO, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the size on the wrist as I always assumed the 39mm / non-Supercase dimensions would wear too small. But it doesn't at all.

[campfire]

Yep, love the BB58 blue.
