Purchased a BB58 as I was told it would not be likely that I could get a Submariner given no purchase history etc. Long story short, a different AD came through with a Sub and the BB58 has seen zero wear.
The watches are very different, with the Sub giving a much more modern vibe with the ceramic bezel. I only have space for one dive watch in my collection and the Sub is it - you will definitely miss the glidelock! Having worn the BB58 everyday, all day for almost a year, I don't think it is the 'perfect watch' for my lifestyle when compared with the Sub. The rose gold accents on the aluminium bezel are just a little too much with the gilt dial, although the red triangle is a nice touch. The faux rivet bracelet is also a little too much, and I could not get along with the clasp (it would often pop open even though the safety was still on - hard to explain). YMMV, but keep the Sub and wait for either new colour options to be released, or stick it out like I am for a BB58 GMT! |
