My First Incoming (Tudor BB)
I’ve been in the market for a dive watch for a while now. Initially I was going to avoid the Rolex/Tudor route just because of the waiting and uncertainty involved, but I found the BB58 blue in the case at the local AD today.
I tried it on and it just wears so much better than all the divers I’ve tried so far (I have a 6.5” wrist so most divers wear large). So despite having no expectation of buying a watch today, I walked with a new diver on my wrist. I also joked to the sales associate that maybe my next piece will be a Rolex; she asked me which one I was interested in and I said the BLNR but said I knew that it would never happen. She asked me if there was anything else and I said just the BLNR (not likely happening at all but one never knows ) Having said that, I’m digging this watch on the fabric strap, and happy this is the diver I landed on.

I picked mine up in January and it's been getting a lot of wrist time. It looks fantastic on a lot of different straps, currently on a Zuludiver rubber. |

Congrats on the BB58. I have the same size wrist and I agree about the wearability. I don't own it yet though but have tried it on twice.... on my list. I wish the Sub was 39mm.
Also nice collection. The Sinn is one I have pondered, and I have the Speedmaster (3861). I'm interested in a Cartier or Reverso at some point as well (most likely the Reverso). |
