Tudor BB58 arrival..

Finally my BB58 arrived on Wednesday (apologises for hair on the crystal, missed it when taking the pic) - to go with my Tudor GMT (arrived in Dec 2017) both of which I ordered/paid for back in Sept 2017 - both watches fit in nicely with the rest of my Tudor collection (bottom picture).

First impressions - amazing! The watch is literally the perfect size - nice and slim, the case back is totally flush with the back of the watch, making it sit very flat against the wrist, while the bracelet is a perfect fit for me....and I managed to pick up the NATO strap with it ;-)

Thank you - the BB58 really wears well, and I think it's what Tudor should have been doing from the start really with regards to the watch case size...

Congrats! Still waiting to see one in person. HAs been easier for me to see BLRO, WG oF Daytona and several others than it has been to see a 58!

Thank you, everyone - really enjoying the BB58 - such a difference to the other Black Bays, and also smaller, thinner, than my Rolex Sub C...

For those that asked why I have two BB36s - the one on the left is my own, the one the right is one that I bought for my wife - we also have the leather straps and NATOs to go with them, so we can change straps out.

Now that's a proper Tudor collection bruv

But I'm not thanking you for making this thread - now I'm getting even closer to pulling the trigger on a BB58.

Must. Resist. Before. Basel.

Congrats! I love the BB58! It punches well above its weight.

Congratulations on a great watch. I think the BB58 is so well done. I have the GMT and think that if Tudor throws together a 58 case with a GMT complication my wallet will hate me.

Love it! Have the same BB58 on bracelet. But I have a question, how did you order them in 2017 and receive the GMT prior to Bazel 2018??

OP must have meant "Sept 2018". Unless he's good buddies with Tudor's top brass
