If there will truly be a new Black Bay 58 with blue bezel, I would think it’d have to be an analog to the current black bezel. Therefore, I voted gilt. That is, after all, part of the charm and distinguishing feature of the 58.

To me the gilt looks a bit forced

Prob just photoshop skills. I think it would look better IRL.

Id be shocked if they went away from the vintage vibe.

Agree

I’m a fan of fauxtina if it looks like it belongs. The 58 looks great to me as do several Panerai that use it.

First one looks like a Smurf second one has a 'vintage" look which is what I prefer

Which would you buy?

I personally prefer the first option. With white metal surround, hands, and inscription.

neither for me. I think the BB58 is perfect the way it is. Playing the changing the color game is laughable....

First one's too close to the Pelagos aesthetics I think. (But I don't like the snowflake hands anyway.)

Cheers

Its a nice looking bezel. I can't seem to get past the bracelet and the hour hand.

None. Luckily I am not a fan of any tudor watch, saving me a lot of money and energy :-)

I like the “TURF” better.

But I’d be happy with the gilt version, too.

Can’t wait.

I like them both, gilt gets my slight preference, but honestly wouldn’t buy either.

Guilt, but the hour hand still looks like a caveman club ............................

Prefer the first, but I'd probably buy either one

First one. I think it has a cleaner look. I saw one in person, and wish the blue was a shade darker. Also didn’t like the snowflake hand, and the design of the second hand.
