I find myself frequently reaching for this piece. It wears beautifully and has such a great aesthetic. I love the edge distortion from the domed crystal, gives it a great vintage look even though it's a modern sapphire. The crown is a joy: big, easy to wind, feels secure and sturdy, and has great tactile feel and satisfying sound when winding. Bonus points for the absence of crown guards (huge plus in my book). The dial is simply gorgeous. That gold text, the gilted hands and hour markers... they just shine beautifully on the granular matte background. Love the beveled edges on the case and the stepped bracelet. The pop of red on the lume pip adds just the right punch.

I've had no QC problems with my piece. It keeps insanely accurate time, runs the full 70 hours, and has taken my daily beatings without a hiccup.

Just thought I'd share my appreciation for this incredible watch. For the money, I don't think you can possibly find a better value proposition in the whole market.

Glad you’re enjoying it :)

I think this watch looks even better on the brown leather strap. Enjoy the watch, it is fantastic.

Indeed, great watch and it punches way above it’s weight. I have the Navy Blue & love it. I’m waiting to see if Tudor bring out anything new that’s interesting this year, but if not I think I’ll get the BB58 Black as well.

kieselguhr · 20 February 2022, 10:33 AM

Certainly a great watch

my wife loves hers and I have snuck it on my own wrist once in a while

Seddyspaghetti · 20 February 2022, 11:41 AM

Nice

MichelleP · 20 February 2022, 11:42 AM

I have the blue BB58 and do love it. It unfortunately has been in for service for just over 3 months now. Issues with winding the crown.

Soarer · 20 February 2022, 12:04 PM

I have the Blue and the Black. Completely agree with what you say OP.

Nice!
Congrats!

The BB58 is a tad too small for my wrist, so I'm looking to pick up a BB Bronze (43mm)

The GMT does as well

Moony17 · 20 February 2022, 12:34 PM

I love wearing mine outdoors on a sunny day. It looks very different during the day when sunlight hits the gilted accents.

Tqmb79 · 20 February 2022, 12:39 PM

I just got the blue version 2 days ago. Absolutely love this watch. Retro but modern at the same time and for the price, all I can say is wow. I’m thinking of getting the black one too!

Tqmb79 · 20 February 2022, 12:40 PM

And yes, both the black and blue are absolute strap monsters. Look amazing on nato or brown / black leather straps also.

Looking to pick up a 925.

Beautiful picture. If they ever release a GMT version (that's not over 14mm thick) I'll be totally bought in!

Daveh777 · 20 February 2022, 01:39 PM

Agreed. The BB58 Blue is also one of my firm favourites. Wears so well and case is not too thick for my preference.

tropicwatches · 20 February 2022, 01:41 PM

I bought a similar Tudor recently and have been incredibly impressed with the quality. I also have a Black Bay Bronze which is one of my all-time favs
