Tudor Black Bay 58 vs. Stainless Rolex Submariner

[stevestil]

Hello watch fam-

I’ve currently been debating on what to purchase next. I have achieved some goals and would like to celebrate with a new timepiece. My thoughts are between the black bay 58 or a Stainless Sub but I can’t decide between the two.

My wife has a 5 digit stainless sub and will be selling it (not my watch so not my choice) and I definitely spend a lot of time looking at it and deciding whether I would like to purchase one for myself As a daily. If I did, I would purchase the newer model W/ Ceramic bezel because I personally like the look very much. My current daily is an aqua terra on rubber which I love. My CHNR and serti dial sub do get plenty of wrist time but the aqua terra for me is just a “throw it on and go” watch.

Now comes the black bay 58. I have been drooling over this watch for quite some time. As far as looks go, I personally think the black bay is superior to the sub. Obviously- two totally different class of watches. I do not buy watches as an investment however i won’t lie and say in this case the value of a submariner compared to a BB58 doesn’t factor into my decision.

Was hoping to get some feedback from owners who have a sub and a BB 58 to help with my decision.

Lastly- sub would be bought at retail from my AD and not at market pricing.

Thank you!
