Keep both watches?
If you already own a SubC, would you still get the Tudor BB58?
They both look very similar but with different level of comfort. Cheers! |

If you want it, get it. You値l most likely gravitate to one over time. Keep the other past that time and try to reintroduce it to the rotation at some point. You値l have your answer.
Are they similar? Yes. Also very different in many ways. You値l get your answer, just give it some time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would consider them different enough to justify owning both. As cbiggs said, you'll likely find yourself favoring one over the other, at which point you can decide if you want to keep both.

Definitely different enough. If you like it and have the means, go for it.

I'd chose the SubC over the BB58.. but if you can have both then go for it! They're different enough that you can easily have both and the BB58 is stunning.

Personally - no.
Which is one of the main reasons there are no Tudor watches in my collection - and a near 0% chance there will ever be. I致e tried over the years but honestly figured they壇 get minimal wrist time if any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It depends on the relationship with the SubC; too bulky for me. You need to know what works for your wrist. I suspect the BB might fit me better. For now I'm staying away from stainless amap.

I have both and will keep both for various uses. If I'm travelling to some rough places or higher risk areas, I usually reach for more under the radar of the two, which is the BB58 for me instead of my Hulk.

I'm assuming you find the BB58 to be more comfortable, so why not try a 5 digit sub instead.

You know your tastes so do it if you like them both.
Personally I would not as they are to similar and I like my watches different. |

Definitely keep the SubC but if you also like the BB58 and can afford it then why not add it too. If you had to sell the SubC to make funds for the BB58 then I would definitely not do that.

Nope. But that痴 me. If I had both, there is no way the 58 would ever get wrist time over my Sub.
Maybe the BB GMT (it would rule the weekends, not business days), but never the 58. |

I think they are different enough in terms of looks, but if you have the subc you might be disappointed with the bracelet on the BB58 (the case is great). If you are prepared for that and don't mind or like the gilt, then go for both.

Keep the SubC and don't get the BB58.

The ONLY reason I don’t / haven’t bought a BB58 is because I have too many better Rolexes and I’d probably never wear it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great watch but there’s only so many I can wear throughout a rotation.

Keep the subc. The Tudor is nice but it'll be taking wrist time away from the sub.

You make that sound like a bad thing. I have the BB58 and the Bluesy. I love both and how much wrist time depends on how I feel for the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, I need a beater watch. I love my SubC a lot. The BB58 is too identical to the SubC and I might as well get a nice chrono like a Hamilton 68.

At least they look different in terms of color. I have the black SubC so I don't think it's a good idea getting the BB58.

I personally haven't seen/held the BB58 itself. Amazing it is but I might regret getting it because it will remind me of my SubC more. I need something different like a chrono and a beater watch. Any suggestions? I'm eyeing on the Hamilton chrono 68.
