New arrival - BB58

Been looking at 41 for some time but never had the urge to pull the trigger. This year though they released 39 with a much slimmer case and a new movement. Although I find it wear small on my wrist, I couldn’t resist. The dial, case, finishing and vintagey feel of this piece is quite amazing. Not to mention - at this price point, you can’t get any better than this! Also my first Tudor.

Congratulations! Looks great!
Lately I seem to find myself more comfortable wearing smaller watches, with 40mm being the "sweet spot".
I seriously like the Black Bay 58 better than the current generation of Submariners, which are too chunky and square.

Thanks mate. It was available at the first AD I visited. Then out of curiosity, I checked all other AD’s and was told to be on waitlist.

Thanks mate. I also prefer this size over the GMT2C which I sold previously to fund another grail. Something about the 58 that puts a smile on my face.

Congrats, looks great on the wrist.

It's the right size, and a not too overdone vintage look.

Waiting on one myself, hopefully something a little different from the regular production and if that doesn't come through then I think I'll try to have one modded just a little.

I know of two people that have picked them up; both cases the first watch to be delivered to the AD.
