Thanks huba01,it is close to my "Grail Watch" as I will ever get.

The BB58 is harder to source for some reason.
I'm really just still in the honeymoon phase with my Black Bay 79230N (41mm).
Merry Christmas, yo!
Wear it in good health.

Thanks so much! I love this watch but I just wish it had drilled lugs like a 1958 Submariner. That would make strap changes a breeze.

Congrats on the new BB58!!

Its funny how you disguise your watch from your girlfriend.

You upgraded the Invicta with a Patek Aquanaut style strap

Anyway enjoy!

Congrats. Enjoy that beauty and wear it in good health. BB58 is an awesome watch with a huge retro feel to it.

Thanks guys! Before I bought this watch I had thought about getting a Tudor Heritage Ranger but when I checked the AD websites I couldn't find any. That was when I started to look at Black Bay Heritage and Black Bay 58 watches because it seemed like the Ranger had totally disappeared(except at grey market websites).

I said something like "Don't worry,it's just a cheap watch ,it isn't Rolex or anything".

The problem is that she’s right hahaha

That’s a neat Invicta.

You’re a good liar.

I hope she doesn’t create an account on here and bust you

But you had to charge it before posting the pic no?

I know my sub and Speedmaster don’t light up that much automatically

Yeah,I live in Minnesota where we don't get much sunlight during our 7 months of Winter.

Nice. I’m a Minnesotan too. Have the standard Black Bay. The blue BB 58 is next

I have family over there!

Lovely watch :)

Thanks guys! I am originally from the East Coast but I moved here nearly 30 years ago so I feel like a native now. Finally put the Tudor back in it's proper place.
