Best of both worlds - Tudor Black Bay 58 on a 93150 bracelet

[cleanupinaisle3]

I was messing around the other day and noticed that the endlinks on the Tudor Black Bay 58 are very similar to old non-SEL links, where the first centre-link does not dip into the second link, but rather has the notch into which that little 'half' centre-link goes into.

So I played around a bit and found that I can put a 93150 bracelet onto the 58. It wears very well. Because the 58 is already very well proportioned (and wears the most like a vintage Sub out of anything in Rolex/Tudor's recent history) it genuinely feels like I'm getting the best of both worlds here.

On the flip side, with 280 end links I'm actually able to get the Black Bay bracelet onto my vintage 5513 as well (though Rolex springbars do not fit through the centre link in the 58 bracelet so I was using regular 20mm springbars which unfortunately are too short to reliably hold the bracelet onto the 5513).

Here are some photos and I've also filmed a short video as well to show its wearability.

I find this makes the 58 really feel like a perfect 'modern vintage' watch. It feels a lot like an early 5 digit Sub, but with no crown guards and a svelte & flat profile it really feels like I'm wearing a reincarnation of a big crown Sub.

What do you guys think?
