Sorry to say sold my bb gmt for a 216570 never look back. The thickness what a big hit for me. Love the dial love the hands. Wish it was thinner I would have kept it. I’d like to get one of the new bb 54 or one of the lefty’s have to see what comes my way.

OP I can’t chime in on the specific reference you asked about, but I’ll say the Mike’s logic above, applied well to my SD/SD43 experience |

I've had my BB Pro now for a little over three months. It hasn't left my wrist once.
Honestly I think all this talk of it being too thick or too heavy, it's a bit over blown. If your normally wearing a really thin light dress watch, then yes your going to notice the BBPro. All I know is i look at my wrist and see a real cool piece of steel thats not cumbersome or too thick whatsoever. I got a call from my local Rolex AD recently, they had a black dial Explorer II in that I was on the list for (No purchase history, three months on the list), and I politely declined it actually. Several reasons, first 42mm is too big for me for a daily wear, I dont feel like parting with $10,000 right now, and I am completely satisfied with my BB Pro. |

Never got a good fit on my 58 with bracelet. The pro on t-link wears better despite the thicker case IMHO

Tried on the BBP but passed on it. Really wanted to love it but it came down to liking it at best.
Two reasons - case thickness & faux rivets. The faux rivets I could probably live with but the slab-sided nature of the case made it a no for me. I guess these are the main reasons why people may pass on the BBP so it’s nothing you won’t already know.

All of this I’m a big Sea-Dweller guy and the BB Pro wears similarly. I am a big fan of mine. |

It’s a cool watch. Bit thick but bracket is fantastic. I’d recommend it for wrists over 6.5 inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great value GMT. I’ve tried the GMT many times and it definitely wears a large 41mm. The BB Pro doesn’t wear anywhere near as large to me and I’ve never understood the criticism it receives for its thickness. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I really wanted to like it, tried and no - too thick. Why can’t they make thin gmt watch like explorer II?

Blackbay Pro
Never tried it, but watched a lot of videos , when it was released. Every single reviewer commented on how thick it was. Get something else, if you want a GMT. Glycine makes some nice thinner ones, or, if you can afford it, get an Explorer II. But, don’t get rid of your BB58. It’s a great watch. You know Uncle Straps sells half links for it.
