Hi, would like to ask for opinions in this thread.

I'm currently an owner of BB Black ETA and wondering if it is too similar in appearance (not wearing experience) if I add BB58 to my collection? Thanks before!

Fyi, I also have 5 digit Sub in my collection.

This is getting more wrist time than I thought it would. Received in a trade last week. I just need to find a strap I like. And replace the Pearl at some point, but that’s quite low on my list of priorities.

I like the BB Steel but it might be too thick for my wrist.

I had the same thoughts on the 41mm BB case in general because I have a small wrist, but it wasn’t too bad at all when I got mine and tried it on.

It doesn’t look too big. All good as long as you love it. Thanks for sharing the photo!

Thanks - it’s a custom strap from Aaron at Combat Straps in Montreal.

I was thinking that was the strapmaker, have a few of his straps as well. Great quality!

Just found this thread and got my new BB red a few days ago. Would post pics but I'm still trying to figure out imgur.

BB58 has gilt coloring on the scales of the bezel, the regular BB has white coloring. Easiest way to tell them apart. In fact, other than the 2mm size difference, the only way.

Now you can tell when you see one at the other end of the room.

Hey BB owners, looking for a little guidance if anyone can help?

this has probably been asked in the thread already but where do you get the OEM straps for the BB? Is it strictly the Tudor AD's? Also, anyone in the UK know how much their fabric and leather straps options are? I can't find much info online. I heard the bracelet was £800 extra but that's unconfirmed!

Also Rubber B or Everest? Does one fit better than the other or is this just a preference thing?

Finally, long shot question, can the bund strap which is offered on their chrono S&G model be fitted to the BB 41mm heritage or it is specifically for the chrono? Again if anyone knows the price and where to buy please chip in.

Thank you in advance.
