Who wore it better?
Was lucky enough to receive a BB58 on strap from my wife for my birthday this year and soon after I was on the hunt for a Ranger bracelet as I really didn’t like the faux rivet bracelet and wanted the “glidelock” on the Ranger. Finally found a seller willing to part with it and it really elevates the BB58. The t-fit clasp is really convenient. For the money, these are very fun watches. It’s no BLRO but that isn’t really fair

Well done, that bracelet upgrade on the BB blue must be game changer!

The BB58 case to bracelet symmetry looks much more attractive than the chunky BLRO

Nice OP
I’m indifferent towards the rivets, but it still perplexes me why Tudor hasn’t rolled out the improved clasp on other BBs |

Nice mod OP.
I personally like the rivet bracelet, (and the “chunky” BLRO:  ) to each their own

That's a nice fit on the BB! The BLRO is perfection.

Thanks all. The Ranger bracelet is definitely an upgrade. Perfect fit.
Oddly enough, the spring bars the watch came with (my wife purchased it with the "soft touch" strap) did not fit. I used some generic spring bars and they fit but would like to get some better spring bars. I suppose I can visit my AD but does anyone know what size spring bars should be used on a BB58 on bracelet? And "chunky" BLRO is perfection, as another poster put it. I love the way it wears in the flesh. Pictures just do not do it justice. |

I expect the BB58 to eventually come equipped with the T-Fit bracelet. Maybe it will be announced in March.

I think so too, but I’d bet they’ll keep the rivets. Also, in case anyone thinks you can just change out the clasp, you cannot! You must switch out the whole bracelet, including the end links. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
