If this watch was ever supposed to look like something, it is this picture.

To the OP, the lug to lug length on the Black Bay 58 is the same as the Sub.

Looks absolutely perfect on you. IMO, the reason it feels “off” to you is because you have your heart set on the Sub LV.

I think you’re right, sadly. It is a great watch but I think I’d be wasting my
Money and will cost me more in the long term.

OP - 58's dimensions will work/look great on most wrists, yours included. I have one myself, and I have no doubt you'll love it. Go for it if you haven't already.

The 58 looks great on you. Its the same size as the 5 digit Sub and that case was unchanged for many years so its a very safe bet. The Hulk will wear a bit bigger due to the maxi case, but the 58 has those classic lines that will never go out of style.

I have both and much prefer the size of the 58 and I have fairly large wrists.

58 is simply the best proportioned modern sub available.

Hulk has the wow factor of course but for the money the 58 is insane value. Don’t hestitate

Ps it doesn’t look small on you. Maybe you are use to bigger watches?

I feel that way every time I put on my 36mm DJ. But after a day or two you adjust. 38-40mm is the perfect size for me.

I have 7.5-7.75 inch wrists and wear a BB58 on occasion when a friend wants to wear one of my watches. I do find it slightly small when I put it on but after a short time it looks great and I adjust to the slightly smaller case. I think the 58 works for you and it will all be determined on your wear.

I think the BB58 looks good on you! But if it doesnt feel right....it doesnt feel right. I gotta get to the dealer and try one on myself, thinking about picking one up in the near future.
