The blues
Been wanting a BLNR to add more blue to my rotation, but this BB really scratches that itch! Still want that BLNR, though.

Love the BB58 blue next to my Rolex watches. Nice under the radar watch to wear without any fear.

You know you’re a true watch lover when your monitor can look like it was tossed in a bag of nails and marbles and thrown off a cliff but the watches comes first.

Nice watches btw

I love the blue- especially when you can do on blue rubber or NATO. Can be dressed up for a wedding or ready for a dive/sail/climb, etc.

My ONLY beef with the BB is the exposed crown (no guards). For some reason, that just hurts my eyes.

How do you like the fit/feel so far?

I don't understand this sentiment people on the forums have for Tudor and the likes of wearing it without fear. People are robbed for pocket change. You think an opportunist or someone desperate will pass on a quick 1,000€ payday.

The fit is great! The 39mm took some getting used to, but after a bit, i stopped noticing. I hear you on the crown guards, but I do feel its absence gives it a nice vintage feel (along with the smaller diameter) a la Connery’s Sub in Goldfinger.

Yes, that is a great point- and now I see it!

I am waiting on a Pelagos FXD, but if my patience runs out, I may just go with this- buy on bracelet and try to get the rubber or NATO thrown in.

Glad you enjoy it and have a great holiday season.

I have the BB58 blue, it's a great everyday watch to wear, along with my OP41 green for a big of a mix in colour. Still waiting on the pepsi! That's my favourite piece

Congrats, the BB58 blue is such a great color. Almost a muted denim, it is so pleasing to the eye. I am tempted every time I see it.

“Muted denim” is a perfect way to describe it!
