Incoming (tudor) 58

Picked up this lovely fifty eight this morning. Having received the call a few weeks ago I only managed to pick it up today due to being away.



I love this watch. This is just a quick snap that doesn’t really do it justice. The sizing is absolutely spot on and the comfort is right up there.

The bezel colouring (differs to the original B.B.-n) works well for me. Crystal seems slightly more domed and just like my B.B.-N the dial is a lovely matte.

Pictures don’t do it justice. I love this watch. Probably my cheapest watch but easily up there with my favs.

My other black bay will live on its nato strap now.

I know this isn’t Rolex / Tudor related but also picked this up a couple of weeks ago



I’m a big fan of vintage proportions and I love most of the 39.4mm size speedys. I wanted this since it was quietly announced at basel this year. Pulsometers were an optional fitment to original speedmasters and I always like to buy different pieces to the norm. I know this doesn’t work for every collector and the speedmaster (professional) has a great following. I like these ck variations and did ever since I purchase the first omega in space variant.

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks!!


I just have one question, my 58 winds counter clockwise (crown turn towards me) to advance time. This is different to every other Rolex and Tudor I own. Any ideas why?

Mate, you should post your new watch on the BB58 Owner's thread!

Congratulations the 58 is such a great looking watch, I love the vintage look of it. Tudor really did something right with that one

Thanks guys, great day. This 58 is everything i expected and more.

Ordered a couple of nato's for its big brother my black bay-n

This one is certainly going to get a lot of wrist time. If they do a 58 GMT i'm getting it asap.
