It’s also a better quality watch than my 5 digit Sub 16610 or SD 16600 were in terms of fit, finish and overall quality feel.

Does that make 5 digit subs and sea dwellers less than mediocre?

I don’t think so and I suspect many on here will agree with me on that.

I very much like the BB58 and considered getting one. However, there were others I thought were better in its price range. I ended up getting an Omega SMP Diver 300 blue instead. IMO it has a better movement, made from better materials (I would never buy a diver at this price range without ceramic), better looking (subjective), more iconic, better brand (Rolex > Omega > Tudor), and I even like the presentation box/packaging more.

Again, the BB58 is a very nice watch … just not in the league of the Rolex.
