Hi guys!

Just got a black bay fifty eight black and gilt. Love everything about it except the gold paint on the bezel. Was wondering if anyone had experience either sourcing replacements more like the 41mm Black Bay bezels OR if switching the insert out for a vintage one might be possible?

Doesn’t that gold sort of make that watch?

I considered the same thing when I got mine, but after a week the gilt grew on me and I haven’t looked back.

It's a new watch so just enjoy it the way it is designed.

... it's my watch so why do I have to enjoy it 'the way it was designed'. If anyone has a resource for this would be amazing :)

I used to buy stuff that I did not like 100% and always thought about changing that thing to make it perfect.

Never worked. Always ended selling it.

Learned the lesson the hard way.

Hope you find a solution for you BB58.

That is the essence of the OG58. Don’t spoil it!

Btw, still waiting for mine. Takes much longer than the blue did
